Inflatable Display Wall With Integrated Storage and Mobility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing displaying devices are cumbersome, heavy, and require time-consuming assembly and disassembly, with separate units for lighting and sound, and often have an inelegant backside that cannot be hidden.
Innovation Solution
A displaying device with a movable storage device that adjusts between closed and open positions, featuring an elastic, inflatable image-building body with a gas-tight cavity that can be filled with gas to raise into an active position, equipped with wheels for stability and integrated light sources and loudspeakers, and powered by a compressor or alternative energy sources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If traditional displaying devices use rigid structures with separate components, then structural stability is improved, but device complexity and assembly time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate components (storage device, image-building body, wheels, compressor, lights, sound equipment) into a single integrated mobile displaying device. The storage device houses the compressor and accommodates the image-building body, while wheels are attached to the storage device for mobility. This merging eliminates the need for separate units and reduces assembly complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage device serves multiple functions: it acts as a container for the image-building body, provides structural support, houses the compressor, and serves as a base for the entire displaying device. The wheels provide both mobility and stability when pulled out. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional displaying devices use separate units for light and sound, then functional versatility is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to extra assembly effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates light sources and sound equipment directly into the mobile displaying device, combining them with the storage device and image-building body. This allows all functional components (display, light, sound) to be part of a single unit that can be deployed together, eliminating the need to assemble and connect separate units.
3Ease of operation
If the image-building body is made inflatable, then ease of transport is improved, but reliability may worsen due to gas leakage risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an inflatable image-building body with a gas-tight cavity that can be filled with gas from a compressor. The inflatable structure allows the displaying device to be compact for transport and easily deployed by inflation. The gas-tight design with integrated compressor provides reliable inflation and maintenance of the image-building body.
4Ease of operation
If wheels are integrated into the storage device, then mobility is improved, but stability may worsen when wheels are retracted
Solution Approach 1:
The wheels are designed to be movable between a retracted position (for stability during display) and an extended position (for mobility). This dynamic configuration allows the device to switch between stable and mobile states as needed, with the wheels serving dual purposes of providing both stability when retracted and mobility when extended.

Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a compact, mobile, and efficient displaying solution that is easy to set up and transport, with improved stability and aesthetic appeal, allowing for versatile use in events and exhibitions.
Implementation Method 1
by means of the compressor. The room in which the displaying device is positioned may thus function as the gas source

AI summary
A displaying device comprises a movable storage device adjustable between at least a closed position and an open position, an elastic image-building body adjustable between at least an inactive position and an active position. The image-building body, in its inactive position, is arranged to be accommodated by the storage device in the closed position thereof. The image-building body includes a substantially gas-tight cavity. The displaying device includes a valve arranged to be connected to a gas source, the valve being arranged to provide gas communication between the gas source and the cavity, so that the cavity may be filled with gas, and the image-building body may be raised into its active position when the storage device is in its open position. A method is for using a displaying device. A compressor is for putting up an image-building wall.
