Wall Display Wire Hanger Retention Using an Elastic Separation Protector
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall-mounted display apparatus supporting devices face issues with wires separating from the hanger during horizontal adjustments due to the weight and motion of the display, especially with heavy display units.
Innovation Solution
A supporting device that includes a wire part coupled to the display apparatus, a wire hanger mounted to the wall, and a separation protector to prevent the wire from separating from the hanger, featuring a receiving portion with a protrusion and made of elastic materials to securely hold the wire in place.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a thick wire made of strong materials is used to support heavy display apparatus, then the wire strength is sufficient, but the flexibility decreases and the wire may separate from the wire hanger during motion
Solution Approach 1:
A separation protector made of elastic material is introduced as an intermediary component between the wire and the wire hanger. This separator protector has a receiving portion that catches the wire and protrusions that engage with both the wire and hanger, preventing separation while allowing the wire to maintain its strength and flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The separation protector is made of elastic material that can deform to accommodate the wire during insertion and then recover to maintain constant tension. This elastic property allows the system to transition from a rigid connection to a flexible yet secure connection, solving the contradiction between wire strength and flexibility
2Strength
If the wire is made thick and strong to support heavy display apparatus, then the supporting strength is sufficient, but the wire exhibits low flexibility and may separate during horizontal adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The separation protector serves as a mediator that provides a reliable connection mechanism between the wire and hanger. Its elastic material and specially designed geometry with receiving portion and protrusions ensure the wire remains securely retained during horizontal adjustments while allowing necessary motion
Solution Approach 2:
The separation protector transforms the static wire-hanger connection into a dynamic system. The elastic material allows the connection to adapt during motion, maintaining reliability while accommodating the flexibility needed for horizontal adjustment operations
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
The solution effectively prevents wire separation from the hanger even with heavy display units, ensuring secure mounting and easy reinstallation by allowing adjustable wire lengths and easy attachment to various display sizes.
Implementation Method 1
The separation protector may be made of an elastic material
