Display Support Bracket for Flexible Peripheral Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for organizing technology equipment in work environments, such as computer workstations, often lack efficient methods to securely mount and position peripheral devices in proximity to display screens and keyboards, limiting convenience and flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A support bracket system with a fixed base, wing members, and arm plates that can be mounted to a support stand and display screen, allowing for secure attachment and flexible positioning of peripheral devices, including optical scanners, biometric readers, and printers, between the support stand and display screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If peripheral devices are mounted directly to the support stand or desk, then device stability is improved, but workspace organization and accessibility are worsened due to limited positioning flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into multiple segments: a base plate that attaches to the support stand, vertical support members that provide height adjustment, and mounting arms that can be positioned independently. This segmentation allows each component to contribute to stability while collectively providing positioning flexibility through adjustable connections between segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system incorporates adjustable and movable components including height-adjustable support members with multiple positioning holes, rotatable mounting arms, and configurable attachment points. These dynamic elements enable the structure to adapt its configuration for optimal device placement while maintaining stable mounting through secure fastening mechanisms.
2Productivity
If display screens are mounted close to peripheral devices, then workspace efficiency is improved, but display screen visibility and accessibility are worsened due to obstructions
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system utilizes vertical space by extending mounting arms upward from the base plate, positioning peripheral devices at elevated levels alongside the display screen. This vertical arrangement allows devices to be in proximity for efficient workflow while preventing horizontal obstructions that would block display visibility and user access.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure provides different positioning characteristics for different devices, allowing each peripheral device to be independently positioned at optimal locations. This enables efficient arrangement of multiple devices around the display screen while ensuring that no single device obstructs the display or user interaction.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple peripheral devices are mounted on the support stand, then workspace organization is improved, but mounting complexity and device configuration time are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system employs standardized base plates, support members, and mounting arms that can accommodate multiple different types of peripheral devices. The universal design with standardized attachment mechanisms allows various devices to be mounted using the same structural components, simplifying the mounting process while enabling organized arrangement of multiple devices.

AI summary
A support or mounting bracket includes a fixed portion having a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface opposite the first mounting surface. The first mounting surface couples to a display screen and the second mounting surface couples to a support stand. The support bracket also includes at least one free portion that extends from the fixed portion and couples to an arm plate and at least one connecting portion that couples the at least one free portion to the fixed portion. The arm plate includes a proximal end mounted to the at least one free portion and distal end that supports a peripheral device.
