Configurable Display Mounting for Flexible ATM Topper Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current ATM toppers are bulky, inflexible, and require time-consuming assembly, with limited design options and fixed positions, often mismatching the aesthetic of the ATM and its surroundings.
Innovation Solution
A configurable display holding apparatus comprising a base, vertical member, and bracket, allowing for eight different display orientations and quick assembly without tools, using minimal components and reducing shipping weight.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional ATM topper designs are used, then structural stability is maintained, but flexibility and adaptability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display holding apparatus is divided into multiple modular components including a base, vertical member, and bracket that can be assembled in various configurations. This segmentation allows the system to adapt to different display orientations and ATM models while maintaining structural integrity through standardized connection interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus enables dynamic reconfiguration of display orientations through adjustable brackets that can be positioned at multiple angles. The modular design allows the system to transition between different operational states (various display orientations) while maintaining stable structural connections through repeatable mounting mechanisms.
2Productivity
If traditional topper designs are used, then structural integrity is maintained, but assembly time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus is segmented into pre-fabricated modular components (base, vertical member, bracket) that can be independently manufactured and then quickly assembled on-site. This reduces assembly time compared to traditional custom-built toppers while the standardized interfaces keep assembly complexity manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular components are pre-manufactured and pre-configured at the factory with standardized connection points and mounting interfaces. This preliminary preparation enables rapid field assembly without requiring complex on-site fabrication or customization, thereby increasing productivity while controlling assembly complexity.
3Weight of moving object
If traditional topper designs are used, then structural stability is maintained, but shipping weight and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus is divided into separate modular components that can be shipped individually and assembled at the destination. This segmentation reduces shipping weight compared to traditional monolithic topper designs, as only essential structural elements are shipped rather than pre-assembled heavy frameworks.
Solution Approach 2:
The design utilizes thin-walled but structurally efficient bracket components and vertical members that provide necessary structural stability with minimal material usage. These optimized structural elements reduce weight while maintaining the stability required for secure display mounting.

AI summary
A display holding apparatus includes a base, a vertical member, and a bracket. The vertical member is attachable to the base in one of two different orientations to form a stand. The bracket is attachable to the vertical member of the stand in one of four different orientations. The four different bracket orientations includes a low landscape orientation, a high landscape orientation, a low portrait orientation, and a high portrait orientation. A display is attachable to the bracket in one of the four bracket orientations. In an embodiment, the base is mounted on a top surface of a transaction terminal.
