Dual-Screen Support Device with Pivot-Arm Angular Adjustment
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display screen support devices are limited in adjusting the angular position of a single screen, and mounting two screens requires significant space and complicates view angle adjustments, making them inefficient for dual-screen setups.
Innovation Solution
A display screen support device with a base unit, first and second support arms, and display screen mounting heads, allowing for adjustable angular positioning between two screens through pivot-connection and extension devices with stop members and sliding rail systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If two separate display screen support devices are mounted on a tabletop, then dual-screen support is achieved, but tabletop space is occupied and view angle adjustment becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two separate support arms into a single integrated support device with a common base unit. The first and second support arms share the same base unit and upright shaft, allowing both display screens to be supported from a single mounting location rather than requiring two separate mounts on the tabletop.
Solution Approach 2:
The base unit is designed to universally support both the first and second support arms, enabling a single base unit to perform the function of multiple support devices. The common upright shaft and stop member system provides multi-functional capability to adjust and support multiple screens simultaneously.
2Adaptability or versatility
If two separate display screen support devices are used, then dual-screen support is achieved, but view angle adjustment work becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two separate support arms into a single integrated support device with a common base unit. The first and second support arms share the same base unit and upright shaft, allowing both display screens to be supported from a single mounting location rather than requiring two separate mounts on the tabletop.
Solution Approach 2:
The support arms are designed with pivot-connection devices that allow dynamic adjustment of angles. The first support arm can pivot relative to the upright shaft, and the second support arm can pivot relative to the first support arm, enabling flexible and convenient angular positioning of each display screen independently.
3Ease of operation
If conventional angle-adjustable support devices are used, then view angle adjustment is enabled, but the devices are designed for single screen support only
Solution Approach 1:
The base unit is designed to universally support both the first and second support arms, enabling a single base unit to perform the function of multiple support devices. The common upright shaft and stop member system provides multi-functional capability to adjust and support multiple screens simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The support device is segmented into modular components: a common base unit, a first support arm with its own pivot-connection device, and a second support arm with its own pivot-connection device. This segmentation allows each arm to independently adjust its angle while sharing the common base unit, providing both versatility and ease of operation.

AI summary
A display screen support device includes a base unit providing an upright shaft and a stop member at the upright shaft, a first support arm including a first pivot-connection device coupled to the upright shaft and supported on the stop member and a first extension device transversely extended from the first pivot-connection device for supporting a display screen, and a second support arm including a second pivot-connection device coupled to the first pivot-connection device and a second extension device transversely extended from the second pivot-connection for supporting another display screen. The second pivot-connection device of the second support arm relative can be biased relative to the first pivot-connection device of the first support arm within a limited angle for allowing adjustment of the relative angular position between the two supported display screens.
