Interactive display case for objects, in particular watches, or jewellery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Displaying precious and small-sized objects, such as watches and jewelry, poses challenges in providing effective public observation while ensuring security against theft, as existing solutions either compromise on visibility or security.
Innovation Solution
An interactive display stand with a closed compartment and control means to manage the presentation and security of objects, featuring sliding or pivoting flaps, motors for precise object alignment, and detection systems to secure objects during public interaction, allowing for secure and engaging product presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If objects are displayed openly for public viewing, then visibility and public interaction are improved, but security against theft deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display system dynamically transitions between open and closed states. The compartment can be opened to reveal objects for viewing, then closed to secure them. This dynamic state change allows the system to adapt between visibility and security requirements based on operational mode.
Solution Approach 2:
A movable partition or flap acts as an intermediary element between the display space and the secure storage space. This partition can be positioned to either reveal or conceal objects, serving as a mediator that enables both viewing and security functions without requiring complete exposure or complete concealment at all times.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple objects are displayed simultaneously, then product variety is improved, but security control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display compartment is segmented into multiple independent sections or levels, each capable of holding different objects. The movable partition can selectively cover specific segments while leaving others exposed, or cover all segments uniformly. This segmentation allows simultaneous display of multiple objects with controlled security application.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs periodic presentation of objects through automated mechanisms that move objects into and out of view in sequence. Objects are presented one at a time or in small groups for brief periods, then returned to secure storage. This periodic action allows variety in displayed products while maintaining strict security control through time-limited exposure.
3Productivity
If rapid object exchange is implemented, then presentation speed is improved, but mechanical complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple objects are combined on a single movable support structure or carousel. The entire support carrying multiple objects can be moved simultaneously into or out of the display position through a single mechanical action. This merging reduces the number of separate mechanical operations required compared to moving individual objects separately.
Solution Approach 2:
Complex mechanical object exchange mechanisms are replaced with simpler automated systems such as motorized carousels, conveyor belts, or electronically controlled movable partitions. These systems use standardized mechanical movements (rotation, linear translation) that are easier to implement and control than custom-designed object manipulation mechanisms.
