Foldable Display Stand Structure for Easy Erection and Shape Retention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display tools are cumbersome to erect from their folded state and often fail to retain their shape, leading to ineffective customer appeal in retail settings.
Innovation Solution
A display tool design featuring a display part, back part, stable part, leg parts, and bottom part, where the back part and leg parts are connected via fold lines to facilitate easy erection and stable retention, with the stable part abutting the bottom part to maintain shape and the leg parts providing support at an angle, allowing the tool to be easily folded and unfolded.

1Ease of operation
If a conventional display tool is used, then it can be placed in a store, but it is cumbersome to erect from its folded state and fails to retain its shape
Solution Approach 1:
The display tool is divided into multiple functional segments: display part, back part, stable part, leg part, and bottom part. Each segment serves a specific purpose - the stable part protrudes downward to provide anchoring, the leg part provides additional support at an angle, and the bottom part forms a stable base. This segmentation allows the tool to be easily erected while maintaining shape stability through the coordinated action of these segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The display tool is designed with pre-configured geometric relationships and connection structures that enable automatic shape retention upon erection. The back part is disposed behind the display part with a gradual distance increase from upper to lower edges, creating a self-stabilizing configuration. The stable part and leg part are positioned to automatically engage with the bottom part, eliminating the need for complex assembly steps while ensuring shape retention.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a display tool is designed with multiple parts for stability, then shape retention improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple functional elements are merged into a unified integrated structure. The stable part, leg part, and bottom part work together as a cohesive support system rather than separate components. The back part integrates both structural support and shape-defining functions. This merging reduces the number of discrete parts and simplifies the overall structure while maintaining excellent shape retention capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
Each part of the display tool serves multiple functions. The bottom part not only forms the base but also provides connection points for both the stable part and leg part. The back part provides both structural support and defines the display orientation. This multi-functionality reduces the total number of components needed while achieving complex stability requirements.

AI summary
A display tool includes a display part, a back part, a stable part, a leg part, and a bottom part. The display part is disposed in its erected state. The back part has its upper edge connected to an upper edge of the display part and is disposed behind the display part such that a distance between the back part and the display part gradually increases from the upper edges to lower edges of the back part and the display part. The stable part protrudes downwardly along the back part from a portion of the lower edge of the back part. The leg part protrudes downward direction from the remaining portion of the lower edge of the back part at an angle less than an angle at which the back part slants. The bottom part is connected to a lower edge of the display part and to a lower edge of the leg part. The stable part is disposed such that its lower edge is in abutment with an upper surface of the bottom part.
