Hinged Device Stand With Headset Cord Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional stands for electronic devices and headset cord receivers are separate units, making it cumbersome for users to carry both, as they lack a compact solution for handling the headset and its cords during transportation.
Innovation Solution
A stand with a main body for holding the electronic device, a stand cover that prevents cord unraveling, and a hinge section allowing the cover to spread apart, along with an adhesive section for secure attachment, which also includes a hook and protuberance to manage headset cords, enabling compact storage and adjustable positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the stand and headset receiver are separate units, then each unit can be optimized independently, but the user must carry two separate items which increases burden and reduces portability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the stand and headset receiver into a single integrated unit. The receiver is positioned within the stand structure, allowing the electronic device to be mounted on the stand while the headset cord is automatically wound around the receiver. This merging eliminates the need to carry separate items, reducing carrying burden while maintaining optimized functionality of both components.
2Ease of operation
If the stand structure is simplified to reduce complexity, then manufacturing and operation become easier, but the ability to hold both device and cords compactly is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The stand structure is designed to perform multiple functions: supporting the electronic device at an adjustable angle, housing the headset receiver, and managing the headset cord. The receiver serves both as a cord-winding mechanism and as a structural component of the stand. This multi-functionality simplifies the overall structure by eliminating separate cord management components while maintaining ease of operation for both device positioning and cord storage.
3Ease of operation
If the stand allows adjustable positioning for optimal viewing, then user comfort is improved, but the structure becomes more complex with additional moving parts
Solution Approach 1:
The stand incorporates a pivotable connection between the first and second panels, allowing the second panel (which holds the receiver) to rotate relative to the first panel. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables the user to position the electronic device at various angles for optimal viewing comfort. The hinge connection provides smooth rotation while maintaining structural integrity, achieving adjustability without excessive mechanical complexity.

AI summary
This invention is to provide the stand for the electronic device with the capacity to hole the headset in a handy manner. The stand comprises the main body capable of holding cords, the attaching section positioned on the main body for the electronic device to be mounted and secured thereon, stand cover capable of temporary fitting over the main body and having the section for preventing the cords from unraveling, and the connecting section which joints the main body and the stand cover and allows the stand cover to spread apart from the main body with the hinge section as the fulcrum.
