Arm rest support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing arm rest supports fail to provide height adjustments, failing to meet the diverse needs of different users.
Innovation Solution
An arm rest support with a movably connected height riser block that allows manual adjustment of the supporting height by folding it upward or downward relative to the support body.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed structure arm rest support is used, then the structure is simple and stable, but the supporting height cannot be adjusted to meet different user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed arm rest support into a movable and adjustable structure. The height riser block can be manually folded upward or downward relative to the support body, enabling dynamic height adjustment. This allows the supporting height to adapt to different user needs while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure when not in use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the arm rest support structure is kept simple, then the device is easy to manufacture, but it fails to provide height adjustments for different users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the arm rest support into distinct functional modules: a support body and a height riser block. This modular design allows for easier manufacturing of individual components while providing the needed height adjustment capability through the movable connection between segments.

AI summary
An arm rest support, having a support body and a height riser block movably connected to the support body to adjust a supporting height of the arm rest support. When using the arm rest support, user's arms are rested on the support body, and because of the supporting function of the support body. dangling arms can be relieved from muscle tension. When parts of the arms (e.g. palms and/or wrists) or the entire arms are required to be lifted (e.g. in order to hold a mobile phone/book at a suitable viewing angle), the height riser block can be manually folded upward to be placed on top of the support body or folded downward to be placed at a bottom side of the support body so that the supporting height of the arm rest support can be increased.
