Display Stand Caster Adjustment via Bed Plate Opening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatus supporting devices either lack mobility due to immovable casters, making them inconvenient to move, or require cumbersome wrench operations with movable casters, compromising aesthetics due to the need for increased clearance.
Innovation Solution
A supporting device with a chassis, threaded stem casters, bed plate, and main beam, where the casters are diagonally disposed and covered by the bed plate, allowing for easy movement by wrenching the casters in an opening area, thus facilitating operation without lying down and maintaining a sleek design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple movable casters are disposed in the movable supporting device, then the display apparatus can be moved to a specified location, but the user needs to lie prostrate to perform wrenching operation in limited clearance between ground and chassis
Solution Approach 1:
The patent relocates the caster adjustment operation from the limited vertical clearance space between ground and chassis to the horizontal opening area on the bed plate. This dimensional shift allows users to perform wrenching operations in a more accessible horizontal plane rather than lying prostrate in confined vertical space.
2Ease of operation
If bigger clearance between chassis and ground is provided to facilitate wrenching operation, then the caster adjustment is easier, but the integration design of supporting device and display apparatus becomes less aesthetically pleasing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the caster adjustment operation from the clearance space between chassis and ground, and relocates it to the opening area on the bed plate. This separation allows the clearance to be minimized for aesthetic purposes while the adjustment operation is performed in the newly designated opening area.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent relocates the caster adjustment operation from the vertical clearance dimension to the horizontal opening area dimension, allowing aesthetic design to be optimized in the vertical dimension while operation accessibility is maintained in the horizontal dimension.
3Shape
If immovable supporting device is used without movable caster, then the design is aesthetically pleasing with bottom contacting ground, but the display apparatus becomes inconvenient to move
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a hybrid system where casters are mounted on the bed plate rather than directly on the chassis, allowing the supporting device to transition between movable and stationary states. The casters can be adjusted to contact the ground for movement, while the bed plate structure maintains aesthetic appearance when stationary.
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
Enables convenient and efficient movement of display apparatus while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing integration design by sheltering the clearance between the chassis and ground, allowing wrenching operations to be performed easily within the device's structure.
Implementation Method 1
a plurality of threaded stem casters are disposed in the chassis and mounted to the caster mount brackets correspondingly

AI summary
A supporting device for a display apparatus is disclosed. The supporting device comprises a chassis, threaded stem casters, a bed plate, and a main beam. The plurality of casters disposed in the chassis allow the supporting device be moved. The bed plate covers the chassis and comprises a first top wall and a first side wall surrounding the first top wall. A height of the first side wall is greater than that of the chassis. The first top wall covers and is on top of the chassis. The first top wall comprises an opening area. The plurality of casters are located in the opening area. The main beam is fixed to the chassis for hanging the display apparatus. The present invention supporting device is readily adjustable. The display apparatus is moved conveniently and efficiently, and the integration design of the supporting device and the display apparatus is more aesthetically pleasing.
