Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Safely and efficiently mounting display screens in various configurations is challenging due to the need for different hardware and the frustration of transitioning between configurations.
Innovation Solution
A display screen system with two stand elements and connection elements that can be configured in a tabletop or wall mount configuration, using recesses and locking projections to securely attach to the screen, allowing easy transition between setups without tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different hardware is used for different mounting configurations, then the display screen can be mounted in various configurations, but the complexity of the system increases and transitioning between configurations becomes difficult and time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The stand elements are designed with universal functionality to work in both tabletop and wall mount configurations. The connection elements incorporate features that allow them to interface with different mounting surfaces (display screen bottom edge for tabletop, wall mount bracket for wall mounting) without requiring different hardware components. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by enabling configuration versatility while maintaining hardware simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection elements include moveable locking projections that can transition between locked and unlocked states, enabling dynamic reconfiguration. The locking projections can be moved to engage with recesses in different orientations and positions, allowing the system to adapt between tabletop and wall mount configurations. This dynamic capability allows easy transitioning between configurations without requiring different hardware.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different hardware is used for different mounting configurations, then the display screen can be mounted in various configurations, but the time required for mounting increases
Solution Approach 1:
The universal stand elements with integrated connection features eliminate the need to swap hardware components when transitioning between configurations. The same stand elements can be quickly repositioned and reconnected in different orientations, significantly reducing the time required for reconfiguration compared to using different hardware sets.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection elements are pre-designed with moveable locking projections that can be easily actuated. The locking mechanism is prepared in advance to allow quick engagement and disengagement. This preliminary design of the locking system enables rapid transitions between configurations without requiring complex assembly steps or specialized tools.
3Reliability
If multiple connection elements are used to secure stand elements, then the mounting becomes more reliable, but the difficulty of installation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The moveable locking projections provide dynamic locking capability that enhances reliability. The projections can be moved into engagement with recesses to secure the stand elements firmly in place. The same moveable feature that enables easy reconfiguration also ensures reliable mounting when locked, resolving the contradiction between reliability and installation ease.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking projections are designed to be actuated by the user during installation and reconfiguration. The self-contained locking mechanism requires no additional tools or complex procedures. The user simply moves the locking projections to engage or disengage, making the installation process easy while maintaining secure, reliable mounting through the positive locking action.

AI summary
Various embodiments provide a display screen system that includes a display screen, a first stand element, and a second stand element. The display screen can include a front display surface, a back surface, and a bottom surface. The first and second stand elements can each include a connection element disposed between a first end and a second end. The display screen stand system can be configured to be assembled in a table top configuration or a wall mount configuration. In the table top configuration, the first stand element and the second stand element are attached to the bottom of the display screen. In the wall mount configuration, the first stand element and the second stand element are configured to be coupled to the back of the display screen.
