Display Plate Support Structure for Low-Stress Mounting and Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display structures face difficulties in fitting and detaching display boards without causing local intense deformation, especially when the boards have insufficient deformation properties, leading to potential damage and challenges in mounting and removal, particularly for small-sized boards with limited deformation capabilities.
Innovation Solution
The display structure incorporates a support body with a mounting portion featuring a display window, insertion port, and slide grooves, allowing the display board to be inserted and removed without intense deformation, using a combination of deformation and shape restoration properties to facilitate smooth fitting and detachment, with the board's sides and middle portion deforming to avoid projections and fit into the support body's fitting portions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display board is inserted into the support body using conventional methods, then the display board can be mounted, but local intense deformation occurs which may damage the board or the support body
Solution Approach 1:
The support body is divided into multiple functional regions: insertion ports for board entry, insertion spaces for board accommodation, engagement projections for securing, and press-out holes for removal. This segmentation allows each region to perform its specific function without causing intense deformation during mounting or removal operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The engagement projection acts as an intermediary element between the display board and the support body. It provides a mechanical interface that secures the board during insertion while allowing controlled deformation, and serves as a leverage point for removal through the press-out hole without damaging either component.
2Volume of moving object
If small-sized display boards with limited deformation capabilities are used, then the device size is reduced, but the boards cannot undergo the intense deformation required by conventional mounting methods
Solution Approach 1:
The insertion space is designed with locally varied deformation room: relatively large room near the insertion port to accommodate initial board entry, and relatively narrow room in other portions to provide engagement. This local quality variation allows small boards with limited deformation capabilities to be mounted without requiring intense deformation throughout the entire board.
3Ease of operation
If the insertion space has large deformation room throughout, then small display boards can be inserted, but the engagement and securing of the board becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The insertion space features non-uniform deformation room distribution: large room near the insertion port facilitates easy insertion of small display boards, while the narrow portion where the engagement projection is arranged ensures reliable engagement and securing of the board in its final position.
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 easily mounted and removed from the support body, reducing the risk of damage and simplifying the attachment/detachment process, even for small-sized boards, and allows for various applications such as pendants, broaches, and name tags.
Implementation Method 1
a portion between the two side portions deforms in a convex or concave shape toward the display surface with respect to the side portions so as to avoid the projection of the first fitting portion due to the deformation property of the display board
Implementation Method 2
the second fitting portion and the first fitting portion become fitted to each other due to the shape restoration property of the display board

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.
