Modular Button Display System with Slanted Trays for Organized Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display systems fail to adequately store, organize, and showcase photo buttons and other memento buttons, as they are designed for other types of mementos and do not effectively facilitate the display of decorative or photo buttons.
Innovation Solution
A modular button display system comprising a storage container with a removable modular rack assembly, featuring slanted trays and a secure mechanism to display buttons in a slanted orientation, allowing for systematic organization and preservation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If buttons are stored in a box or drawer, then storage capacity is improved, but organization and visibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The storage container is divided into multiple compartments or sections within the tray, allowing buttons to be organized by category, team, or year. This segmentation maintains high storage capacity while improving organization and visibility through structured division of the storage space.
Solution Approach 2:
Buttons are displayed at slanted angles using raised surfaces or inclined trays, transitioning from flat horizontal storage to three-dimensional angled positioning. This dimensional change enables buttons to be stacked vertically for efficient space utilization while maintaining visibility and organization through the slanted display orientation.
2Volume of stationary object
If buttons are displayed flat, then storage space is improved, but visibility and aesthetic appeal deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The tray incorporates slanted or inclined surfaces that angle buttons upward from flat horizontal position. This dimensional transition maximizes vertical storage space while simultaneously improving visibility and aesthetic appeal by presenting buttons at optimal viewing angles that catch light and display details effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The tray design incorporates curved or arched support surfaces that cradle buttons in rounded contours. This curvature enables compact space-efficient arrangement while enhancing aesthetic appeal through elegant rounded forms and improving visibility by naturally orienting buttons toward the viewer at pleasing angles.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed display structure is used, then stability is improved, but adaptability and modularity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The display system uses adjustable and reconfigurable tray components that can be moved, rotated, or repositioned within the container. This dynamic design maintains stability during use while enabling adaptability for different button collections, allowing users to reconfigure the display arrangement as needed without compromising structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The tray is divided into modular sections or individual button slots that can be independently adjusted or removed. This segmented modular design provides stability for each individual button while allowing overall adaptability through reconfiguration of the modular units to suit different collection sizes and display preferences.

AI summary
The invention generally involves a button display system and button display apparatus for storing, organizing, and facilitating a display of at least one button. The button display system comprises a frame having a plurality of side walls for enclosing the front frame and a viewing window disposed on a front side of the frame and a mount board having one or more cavities spaced apart from each other configured to snugly position one or more buttons. The mount board is affixed over a back panel or backing board to support the above arrangement and display the buttons. The mount board comprises a tab or split between each cavity to divide the cavities. Each cavity includes a channel having a base and a protrusion configured to mount a portion of the buttons inside the cavity by affixing a hook or connecting member into the protrusion.
