Carrying Bag Rotatable Screen Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional carrying bags for mobile devices, such as tablets and laptops, lack the ability to accommodate and support additional displayers or screens effectively, limiting their functionality.
Innovation Solution
A carrying bag design featuring a housing with a base wall and upper wall, a foldable cover panel, a support device with a hinge, and a pivotally attached screen that can be folded between an operational and storage position, along with a compartment for the screen and a connecting cable for mobile device integration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional carrying bag is used for mobile devices, then the device is protected during transport, but the bag cannot accommodate or support additional displayers or screens
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying bag is designed with a support device that can function both as a protective base during transport and as an operational support structure for screens and displayers. The base plate with support arms allows the same device to serve multiple purposes: protecting the mobile device in the chamber during storage, and providing elevated support for screens during use, eliminating the need for separate carrying and support devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The support device incorporates foldable support arms with hinge joints that can dynamically adjust between a compact configuration for transport (where arms are folded against the base plate) and an extended configuration for operation (where arms elevate the screen to viewing height). This dynamic adaptability allows the structure to transform between storage and usage states.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a screen is added to the carrying bag for display purposes, then display functionality is enabled, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is integrated with the support device rather than being a separate component. The screen is attached to the support arms, which are themselves attached to the base plate that forms part of the carrying bag housing. This merging of the display support function with the existing carrying structure adds display functionality without requiring a completely separate support system.
Solution Approach 2:
The screen is pivotally attached to the support arms, allowing it to rotate and adjust to different viewing angles and positions. The support arms themselves are foldable, enabling the screen to be positioned at optimal viewing height during operation and folded flat against the base plate during transport, providing dynamic adaptability without permanent complex structure.
3Ease of operation
If the screen is made movable between working and storing positions, then usability is improved, but the mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is pivotally attached to the support arms, allowing it to rotate and adjust to different viewing angles and positions. The support arms themselves are foldable with hinge joints, enabling the screen to be positioned at optimal viewing height during operation and folded flat against the base plate during transport. These simple hinge and pivot joints provide dynamic adaptability without requiring complex mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The support device is divided into separable components: the base plate, the foldable support arms with hinge joints, and the pivotally attached screen. This segmentation allows each component to be independently simple in structure while collectively providing complex functionality through their coordinated movement and assembly.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a compartment is added for the screen, then storage organization is improved, but the housing volume is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The compartment for the screen is integrated into the base plate structure rather than being a separate addition. The base plate itself forms the compartment boundaries, and the screen rests within the footprint of the base plate when folded down. This merging of the compartment function with the existing base structure provides organized screen storage without requiring additional housing volume beyond what is already allocated to the support device.
