Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wall-mounted display apparatus supporting devices face issues with wires separating from the hanger due to horizontal adjustments, particularly with heavy display apparatuses, as the wires used are not flexible enough to accommodate movement without detaching.

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 made of elastic material to prevent the wire from separating from the hanger, featuring a receiving portion with a protrusion to securely hold the wire and a coupling piece with a loop for insertion, along with adjustable components to accommodate different display sizes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a thick metal wire is used to support the heavy display apparatus, then the wire has sufficient strength, but the wire exhibits low flexibility and may separate from the wire hanger during horizontal adjustment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire strengthVSAvoidwire flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The wire is divided into multiple thin wires bundled together, replacing a single thick wire. This segmentation provides sufficient collective strength while improving flexibility, allowing the wire to accommodate horizontal adjustments without separating from the hanger

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The wire uses a composite structure combining metal core with protective coating, integrating different material properties to achieve both strength and flexibility. The metal core provides tensile strength while the coating layer adds flexibility and protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If the wire is made flexible to accommodate movement, then the wire can move with the display apparatus, but the wire may separate from the wire hanger

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire flexibilityVSAvoidwire connection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A separation protector is introduced as an intermediary component between the wire and wire hanger. This protector prevents direct contact and separation while allowing the flexible wire to move, maintaining connection reliability during horizontal adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The separation protector acts as a preventive measure, cushioning against potential separation before it occurs. By positioning the protector in advance, the system prevents wire detachment during movement without restricting necessary flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
