Wall-Mounted Figurine Display With Offset Positioning Platforms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a display apparatus that can be hung from a vertical surface and specifically designed to showcase figurines in a manner that aligns with predefined locations on a themed display area, such as a sports field or recognizable scene, without the figurines touching the base member.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus comprising a base member with an outer surface and platforms extending from it, positioned to correspond with specific locations on the base member, allowing three-dimensional figurines to be placed on the platforms without contacting the base member, which can be hung from a vertical surface using various hanger configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the display apparatus is designed to be hung from a vertical surface, then it can be displayed in space-saving manner, but the figurines may touch the base member which compromises display quality
Solution Approach 1:
The platform extends perpendicularly from the base member in a third dimension, creating vertical separation between the figurine and the base member's outer surface. This dimensional extension allows the figurine to be displayed at an elevated position without contacting the base member, resolving the contradiction between space-saving vertical hanging and precise figurine positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform acts as an intermediary element between the base member and the figurine. It provides a dedicated support surface that positions the figurine at the correct location while preventing contact with the base member, thus maintaining display precision in a compact vertical configuration.
2Manufacturing precision
If the platform is positioned to correspond with pre-defined locations on the base member, then figurine placement accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The platform is integrally formed with or permanently attached to the base member as a single unit, eliminating the need for separate positioning mechanisms. This merging approach achieves precise platform location correspondence with pre-defined base member locations while minimizing device complexity by removing adjustable components.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform is pre-positioned during manufacturing at the exact location corresponding to pre-defined areas on the base member. This preliminary positioning action ensures accurate figurine placement without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms during use, thereby achieving precision while maintaining simplicity.

AI summary
A display apparatus having a base member with an outer surface, outer boundaries defined by the base member, and at least one platform extending from the outer surface of the base member and defining an upper surface. Wherein the outer boundaries of the base member define a scene and the at least one platform is positioned along the base member at a location that corresponds with the scene.
