Adjustable Display Bracket With Sliding Linkage for Space Saving
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display mounting brackets lack the ability to retract for space-saving and allow sideways adjustment of the display, limiting user convenience.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable display mounting bracket assembly comprising a mounting bracket, linkage unit, and fixing plate, which includes a rocker mechanism with pivotable and sliding components, allowing for adjustable viewing angles and positions, and the ability to collapse for space optimization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display bracket uses a fixed four-bar linkage structure, then the attachment rod can be inclined upward or downward at various angles, but the display cannot be retracted to save space and cannot shift sideways
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming the fixed four-bar linkage into a dynamic structure where the distance between pivots can be adjusted. The slider mechanism allows the linkage to change its configuration dynamically, enabling both angle adjustment and retraction movements that were impossible with a fixed structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the rigid four-bar linkage into movable components including a slider and adjustable pivot points. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each segment's position, enabling both vertical angle adjustment and horizontal retraction capabilities.
2Device complexity
If the distance between pivots is fixed in the four-bar linkage, then the structure is simple, but the display cannot adjust its position sideways
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics into the linkage by making the pivot distance adjustable through a slider mechanism. This adds complexity to the structure but enables sideways position adjustment capability, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and functional adaptability.

AI summary
An adjustable display mounting bracket assembly includes a mounting bracket, a linkage unit, and a fixing plate. The mounting bracket includes a main body, at least one first connecting member, at least one second connecting member, and a support body. The first and second connecting members are pivotally connected to the main body and the support body. The second connecting member can slide relative to the main body for adjusting the mounting bracket. The linkage unit is pivotally connected to the mounting bracket on one end and the fixing plate on opposite end. The linkage unit allows the distance between the mounting bracket and the fixing plate to be adjustable.
