Modular Display Assemblies with Selective Connectors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing frame systems for displaying visual features are difficult to rearrange once secured, limiting user discretion over the orientation and layout of the display.
Innovation Solution
The system comprises display assemblies with frames that have side portions with projections and receiving spaces, allowing for the selective positioning and connection of multiple display assemblies using connectors, enabling easy rearrangement and adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If frames are permanently secured to a wall and to each other, then the display structure is stable and secure, but the frames cannot be easily rearranged and user discretion over orientation is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into separate modular frame assemblies, each capable of being independently positioned and secured to the wall. The frames are not permanently connected to each other but can be selectively connected through connectors, allowing individual frames to be rearranged while maintaining overall structural stability through the modular design.
2Reliability
If frames are permanently secured to each other, then the display structure is stable, but it is difficult and time-consuming to rearrange the frames
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system transitions from static permanent securing to dynamic adjustable connections. Frames are secured to the wall in a fixed position for stability, but their connections to each other are dynamic and can be easily adjusted, disconnected, and reconnected using the connector mechanism, enabling quick rearrangement without time-consuming permanent fastening processes.
3Reliability
If frames are permanently secured to a wall, then the display structure is stable, but user discretion over the overall size and shape of the display is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into independent frame assemblies that can be individually positioned and secured to the wall at different locations. This modular segmentation allows users to create various display configurations and arrangements by selecting which frames to install and how to connect them, while each frame maintains structural stability through its individual wall mounting.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame design incorporates universal mounting capabilities with standardized connectors that can accommodate different frame orientations and configurations. Each frame assembly can serve multiple functions and be positioned in various arrangements, allowing the same basic frame design to support diverse display configurations while maintaining structural integrity.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for selectively arranging a plurality of visual features. The systems and methods include the use of a plurality of display assemblies. Each display assembly can have a frame with side portions that define receiving spaces for receiving connectors that allow for coupling with other display assemblies. The display assemblies can be provided with a mount subassembly that permits selective rotational adjustment of the display assemblies without adjusting the attachment of mount assembly to a selected surface.
