Display Mount Bracket Assembly With Sliding Lock Plate
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional VESA-compliant mounting systems require multiple parts and tools, making the installation process cumbersome due to the need for multi-step assembly and alignment of bracket assembly parts.
Innovation Solution
A simplified bracket assembly with a lock plate and latch plate configuration that restricts directional movement, using overlapping arrangements and flexible tabs to secure the display, allowing for easy installation and repositioning without additional tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional VESA-compliant mounting systems use multiple parts and fasteners, then the mounting is secure and reliable, but the installation process becomes cumbersome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple mounting functions into a single integrated bracket assembly that includes the bracket body, mounting plate, and fastening mechanism as one unit. This merging eliminates the need for separate alignment and assembly steps while maintaining secure mounting through the integrated design with pre-positioned fasteners and alignment features.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket assembly is segmented into functional components (bracket body, mounting plate, fasteners) that are pre-assembled together as a complete unit. This segmentation allows the complex fastening system to be installed as a single component, reducing installation complexity while maintaining the security of multiple fastening points.
2Stability of the object's composition
If conventional mounting systems require multiple fasteners and alignment steps, then the mounting is stable, but the installation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket assembly performs preliminary action by pre-assembling all fasteners, mounting plates, and alignment features into a ready-to-install unit before reaching the installation site. This eliminates the need for on-site assembly and alignment steps, reducing installation time while ensuring mounting stability through pre-verified component positioning.
3Ease of operation
If the bracket assembly uses minimal parts, then the installation is simplified, but the mounting security may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket assembly achieves universality by designing a single multi-functional unit that provides mounting, fastening, and alignment functions simultaneously. This eliminates the need for multiple separate parts while maintaining security through the integrated design that incorporates all necessary fastening mechanisms and structural support in one assembly.

AI summary
A bracket assembly with a latch plate and a lock plate. The lock plate is mounted in an overlapping arrangement with the latch plate and movable between an unlocked position and a locked position. First openings extend through the latch plate and are arranged to receive fasteners that protrude from the display. Second openings extend through the lock plate and are arranged to receive the fasteners. The second openings have a first portion aligning with the first openings in the latch plate when the lock plate is in the unlocked position to enable the bracket assembly to slide relative to the display in a first direction and a second portion enabling the lock plate to slide in a second direction relative to the latch plate between the locked and unlocked positions. A latch mechanism is configured to secure the lock plate in the locked position.
