Display Mounting Rail and Clip Layout for Precise Tiled Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display systems face challenges in aligning displays in non-planar or uneven surfaces, maintaining alignment under user interaction forces, and managing cables, especially in portable configurations.
Innovation Solution
A display support system with adjustable support rails and bars, including a lock/quick release mechanism, allows for easy alignment and secure mounting of displays in multiple directions, and incorporates a support cart with cable management features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If displays are arranged in a tile system to achieve large overall display area, then the display area is increased, but alignment difficulty increases when the support surface is out of plane or uneven
Solution Approach 1:
The support system is divided into modular components: support rails mounted to the wall, support bars that can be independently positioned, and mounting members for each display. This segmentation allows each component to be adjusted independently to compensate for wall unevenness, enabling precise alignment across the entire display array while maintaining the large display area.
2Ease of operation
If displays are made portable to enable easy movement to desired viewing locations, then mobility is improved, but cable management becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The support bar integrates multiple functions: it provides mechanical support for the display, incorporates cable management features to route and organize cords, and includes alignment mechanisms. By merging these functions into a single integrated component, the system maintains mobility while simplifying cable management rather than increasing complexity.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed support structure is used to maintain display alignment, then alignment stability is improved, but adaptability to uneven surfaces deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support system incorporates adjustable and movable components: support bars can be repositioned along the rails, mounting members allow for fine-tuning of display positions, and the entire structure can be disassembled and reconfigured. This dynamic design enables the system to adapt to uneven surfaces while maintaining stable alignment once configured, resolving the contradiction between fixed stability and adaptive flexibility.

AI summary
A display support system includes a mounting member adapted to be coupled to a display. The mounting member includes a neck. A cable management clip includes an elongated member having a first hook engaged with the neck and a second hook spaced apart from the first hook. The second hook is configured to hold at least one cable connected to the display. A displays system and a method of installing a display are also provided.
