Display Array Mounting Assembly for Precise Wall Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing array mounts for electronic displays face challenges in achieving precise vertical and horizontal alignment, leveling, and attachment to walls, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in an uneven aesthetic appearance.
Innovation Solution
A mounting system with horizontally spaced-apart and parallel vertical mounting assemblies, featuring adjustable uprights, H-block assemblies, and fastening buttons, allows for easy attachment, leveling, and precise alignment of displays in an array.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional array mounts are used for electronic displays, then the displays can be mounted in an array, but precise vertical and horizontal alignment and leveling become difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates adjustable components including telescoping uprights with extension members, sliding H-block assemblies, and rotating leveling feet that enable dynamic adjustment during installation. These dynamic elements allow installers to achieve precise alignment and leveling by adjusting components in real-time rather than requiring perfectly pre-fitted static components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes multiple adjustable parameters including the length of extension members on uprights, the vertical position of H-block assemblies on the uprights, and the height of leveling feet. By providing multiple degrees of freedom for adjustment, the system enables precise control over the position and orientation of displays while maintaining ease of installation.
2Reliability
If traditional array mounts are used for electronic displays, then the displays can be mounted in an array, but the attachment and leveling process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into modular components including separate uprights, H-block assemblies, fastening buttons, and leveling feet. This segmentation allows each component to be independently manufactured, adjusted, and replaced. The modular design enables rapid assembly and disassembly while maintaining secure attachment through standardized interfaces and multiple fastening points.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates pre-configured alignment features such as notches in H-blocks that receive fastening buttons, pre-attached leveling feet on uprights, and standardized mounting holes on displays. These preliminary preparations eliminate the need for complex field adjustments and reduce installation time while ensuring reliable attachment.
3Manufacturing precision
If traditional array mounts are used for electronic displays, then the displays can be mounted in an array, but an uneven appearance results
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates self-leveling features through adjustable feet with leveling mechanisms that automatically compensate for wall irregularities. The H-block assemblies with notches and fastening buttons provide self-aligning connections that guide displays into proper positions without requiring complex external alignment tools or procedures.

AI summary
A mounting system (100) for mounting displays (106) in an array includes a pair (102) of horizontally spaced-apart and parallel vertical mounting assemblies (104), with a plurality of wall attachment assemblies (110) adapted to operably couple the mounting assemblies (104) to a surface of the wall (258). Each mounting assembly (104) includes an elongate upright (108), a bottom display mounting interface assembly (114, 238) coupled to a bottom end (239) of the upright (108), and first and second H-block assemblies (198) slidably engaged with the upright (108). Each H-block assembly (198) defines upper and lower notches (216, 218) for receiving and retaining a fastening button (200) attached to the display (106).
