Ceiling Display Mount With Elastic Tilt Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display device securing apparatuses lack the ability to pivotally rotate the display device, causing inconvenience in use, especially with larger and heavier display devices, which require significant force to adjust the view angle.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus with a ceiling bracket, a connecting bracket featuring a swivel hinge and a pivot hinge, and a supporting bracket with a tilting hinge, allowing for swivel, pivot, and tilt movements of the display device, supported by elastic members to reduce the force required for tilting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the display device size and weight are increased, then the display quality and presentation capability are improved, but the force required to adjust the viewing angle increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the counterweight principle by introducing elastic members (springs) that generate an elastic force opposing the gravitational force on the display device. This elastic force acts as a counterweight mechanism, balancing the weight of the display device and reducing the net force required to adjust the viewing angle. The elastic member is configured to elastically support the display device main body, creating a force equilibrium that makes angle adjustment feasible even for large, heavy displays.
2Device complexity
If conventional friction-based angle adjustment is used, then the structure is simple, but the display device cannot be pivotally rotated and requires large force for adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a static friction-based angle adjustment mechanism to a dynamic elastic support system. The elastic member provides a dynamic force that adapts to the display device's position and weight, enabling smooth and easy adjustment of viewing angles. This dynamic mechanism replaces the inadequate static friction approach, allowing the display device to be rotated and tilted with minimal force while maintaining structural integrity.

AI summary
An apparatus to support a display device main body to a ceiling includes a ceiling bracket connectable with the ceiling; a connecting bracket having a swivel hinge coupled with the ceiling bracket to enable the connecting bracket to swivel in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the ceiling bracket; and a supporting bracket to elastically support the display device main body to overcome a weight of the display device main body, the supporting bracket having a tilting hinge combined tiltably with the connecting bracket. Thus, an apparatus to support a display device in which swivel, pivot and tilt movements of the display device main body supported to a ceiling can be performed conveniently and the display device main body can be tilted by a relatively small force is provided.
