Controller Stand with Movable Support for Different Thicknesses
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional controller stand devices are not adaptable to stably stand controllers of different thicknesses, limiting their convenience and stability when used with various types of controllers.
Innovation Solution
A controller stand device with a pedestal featuring a concave design that accommodates controllers of different thicknesses, equipped with a support member that moves between positions to securely hold either a thicker or thinner controller, ensuring stable standing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a stand device is designed for one specific controller thickness, then it can stably stand that controller, but it cannot stably stand controllers with different thicknesses
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is designed to move between a first position and a second position along the longitudinal axis of the pedestal. When a controller is inserted into the concave, the support member automatically moves to press against the external surface of the controller at the appropriate position, adapting to different controller thicknesses dynamically. This dynamic adjustment enables the stand device to stably support controllers of varying thicknesses without requiring multiple fixed support structures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the concave size is enlarged to accommodate thicker controllers, then both thicker and thinner controllers can be inserted, but the thinner controller cannot be stably supported
Solution Approach 1:
The support member acts as an intermediary element between the pedestal and the controller. It transfers the supporting force from the pedestal to the controller's external surface at the optimal contact point. By moving to the appropriate position based on controller thickness, the support member ensures stable support for both thinner and thicker controllers within the same enlarged concave structure.

AI summary
To provide a controller stand device capable of stably standing any of two controllers having different thickness. A controller stand device has a pedestal having a support concave formed thereon, the support concave having a size large enough to accept the first controller inserted therein. The controller stand device has a support member to be pressed onto the external surface of the controller inserted in the support concave to thereby stand the controller. The support member is capable of moving between a first support position in which the support member is pressed onto the external surface of the first controller when the first controller is inserted in the support concave and a second position in which the support member is pressed onto the external surface of the second controller when the second controller is inserted in the support concave.
