Wall Mount Assembly With Hidden Lug Fixation Against Upward Flipping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wall mount structures are prone to detachment from the wall upon impact due to insufficient fixation force, leading to potential damage and aesthetic issues when the object flips back, as they rely solely on the weight of the object for fixation.
Innovation Solution
A wall mount assembly featuring a case body with a slit and a lug system that provides additional fixation points, including a latch member and fixation member, which prevent the case body from falling or flipping upwardly by engaging with a fixing plate and wall surface, enhancing stability and hiding the fixing plate for improved aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If only weight-based fixation is used with conventional latch member and latch hole, then the structure is simple, but the fixation force is insufficient and the object may detach upon impact
Solution Approach 1:
The fixation system is divided into multiple independent fixation points: the original latch member-latch hole engagement is supplemented by additional fixation members that engage with the fixing plate through separate holes. This segmentation distributes the fixation force across multiple points, preventing detachment while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines the weight-based fixation mechanism with additional mechanical fixation elements (fixation members passing through the fixing plate). This merging creates a hybrid fixation system that leverages both gravitational force and mechanical interlocking, significantly improving reliability without excessive complexity.
2Reliability
If one or two latch members are provided to avoid misalignment, then alignment reliability improves, but the object cannot be firmly mounted and may flip upwardly upon impact
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into multiple fixation points distributed across the object and fixing plate. Instead of relying on just one or two latch members, additional fixation members are positioned at different locations, creating a distributed fixation network that prevents both misalignment and upward flipping upon impact.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixation system transitions from a single-plane latch mechanism to a multi-dimensional arrangement where fixation members pass through the fixing plate at different positions and orientations. This dimensional expansion creates a more robust mounting structure that resists flipping while maintaining alignment reliability.

AI summary
A wall mount assembly includes a case body, a latch member, a fixing plate, and a fixation member. A slit is formed on a rear surface of the case body. A first fixation hole is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the case body and communicates with the slit. The latch member is disposed on the rear surface. The fixing plate includes a latch hole and a lug. The latch member passes through the latch hole and engages with the fixing plate. The lug is inserted into the slit. When the latch member is located at a closed end of a sliding slot portion of the latch hole, a projection of the first fixation hole on the lug overlaps a second fixation hole of the lug. The fixation member is inserted into the first and the second fixation holes from the outer peripheral surface.
