Display Plate Support Structure for Damage-Free Snap Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display structures face difficulties in mounting and detaching display boards with insufficient deformation and shape restoration properties, leading to potential damage and ease of use issues, especially with small-sized boards lacking finger holding portions.
Innovation Solution
The display structure incorporates a support body with slide grooves, a display window portion, and a unique fitting mechanism where the display board deforms to fit into the support body without intense local deformation, allowing for easy attachment and detachment through insertion and removal ports.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the display board has insufficient deformation and shape restoration properties, then it is easier to manufacture and use, but it cannot be properly mounted or detached from the support body
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the support body structure, specifically designing the insertion space with a narrow portion and positioning the engagement projection to shield this narrow portion. This structural parameter change allows the display board to be mounted and detached without requiring intense local deformation, thereby enabling use of materials with insufficient deformation properties while maintaining manufacturing ease.
2Volume of moving object
If the display board is made small in size, then it is more compact and versatile, but it lacks finger holding portions making attachment and detachment difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the support body with an insertion port that allows the display board to be inserted and engaged through its own structural features (engagement projection and narrow portion configuration) without requiring external tools or finger holding portions on the display board itself. The structure performs the attachment function autonomously.
3Ease of operation
If the engagement projection is positioned to shield the narrow portion of the insertion space, then mounting is simplified, but intense local deformation occurs on the display board
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-configures the support body with a specifically designed insertion space that includes a narrow portion and positions the engagement projection to shield this narrow portion before the display board is inserted. This preliminary structural arrangement guides the display board through the insertion process, allowing mounting to proceed without causing intense local deformation on the display board.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration enables the use of display boards with insufficient deformation properties to be securely mounted and removed without damage, facilitating attachment and detachment, and allows for the creation of various applications such as pendants, broaches, and name tags.
Implementation Method 1
the display board has a deformation property and a shape restoration property
Implementation Method 2
the shape restoring property of the sheet 908 causes the stopper projection 909a to be inserted into the small hole 908c

AI summary
Disclosed is a display structure in which an insertion opening, slide grooves, a first fitting portion and a ridged portion along which the display plate bends when the display plate is bent arranged in the loading sections of a support body in a suitable manner to ensure that when the display plate is inserted into or removed from the loading unit, a force is exerted on both sides of the display plate in either the direction from the display surface side to the rear surface side thereof or the direction from the rear surface side to the display surface side thereof, and a force is exerted in another direction at the center region of the display plate. As a result of configuring in this manner, the display plate deforms so that the entire display surface side comes to have a convex or concave shape, thereby allowing the display plate to be attached to or detached from the support body without forcible localized deformation of the display plate.
