Three-Axis Display Wall Mount for Precise Trophy Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display mounts provide limited position adjustment, failing to achieve the precise positioning required for a unique and desired appearance of trophy skulls and other displays.
Innovation Solution
A display mount with roll, yaw, and pitch adjustments, utilizing a system of pivotally engaging plates and studs with cork clutch disks for precise positioning, allowing independent control of the trophy's orientation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a simple wall mount structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the positioning precision is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mount is divided into multiple independent adjustment mechanisms: a roll adjustment mechanism with a first pivot axis, a pitch adjustment mechanism with a second pivot axis, and a yaw adjustment mechanism with a third pivot axis. Each mechanism can be adjusted independently, allowing precise control of the display's orientation without requiring an overly complex integrated system.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities through pivot axes that allow movement in multiple directions. The roll, pitch, and yaw mechanisms enable the display to be dynamically positioned at various angles, providing precise positioning while maintaining a relatively simple structural design through modular movement components.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple adjustment axes are added, then the positioning precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each adjustment axis (roll, pitch, yaw) is implemented as a separate mechanism with its own pivot axis and adjustment components. This segmentation allows each degree of freedom to be controlled independently, achieving high positioning precision while keeping the overall device complexity manageable through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall mount structure serves multiple functions: it provides mounting to the wall, supports the display, and enables adjustment in three independent axes (roll, pitch, yaw). This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components for each function, thereby improving positioning precision without proportionally increasing device complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If independent adjustment of each axis is enabled, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanisms are segmented into three independent axes (roll, pitch, yaw), each with its own control. This allows users to adjust one parameter at a time without affecting the others, making the operation easier despite the high adaptability provided by three independent adjustment capabilities.

AI summary
A display mount includes roll, yaw, and pitch adjustments to precisely position the display. A wall mount is secured to a room wall. A roll axis is provided by a first vertical plate pivotally engaging a horizontal stud held by the wall mount. A first horizontal plate is fixed to the first vertical plate. A yaw axis is provided by a vertical stud pivotally attaching a second horizontal plate to the first horizontal plate. A second vertical plate is fixed to the second horizontal plate. A pitch axis is provided by a second horizontal stud pivotally attaching a third vertical plate to the second vertical plate. The third vertical plate includes a display engaging clamp or mount. Cork clutch disks residing between pivoting surfaces provide a clutching function retaining hand adjustments.
