Modular Glasses Display Stand for Flexible Multi-Style Assembly

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional glasses display stands lack versatility and convenience, as they are typically fixed in a single style and cannot be adjusted to accommodate different display spaces or user preferences.

Innovation Solution

A modular glasses display stand design featuring support plates with through holes, connecting segments, and leaning pieces that can be assembled in various configurations to form different styles, including zig-zag, linear, or polygonal forms, allowing for easy adjustment and display of multiple glasses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional fixed-style glasses display stand is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adaptability and versatility are poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay configuration flexibilityVSAvoidstand structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display stand is divided into multiple independent support plates that can be separately assembled. Each support plate contains through holes and connecting segments that allow individual plates to be positioned and connected in various configurations, enabling flexible display arrangements while maintaining simple individual component structures

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support plates are designed with universal connecting features including through holes, connecting segments, and locking mechanisms that allow the same basic component to serve multiple functions and be assembled in different configurations. This enables a single type of support plate to create various display styles including zig-zag, linear, and polygonal forms

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If a fixed-style display stand is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the ease of operation and adjustment is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveassembly flexibilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The display stand is divided into multiple independent support plates that can be separately assembled. Each support plate contains through holes and connecting segments that allow individual plates to be positioned and connected in various configurations, enabling flexible display arrangements while maintaining simple individual component structures

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display stand structure is made dynamic and adjustable through the use of locking portions that can be inserted into locking holes to fix the relative positions of support plates. This allows the structure to be easily reconfigured between different display styles by simply moving and relocking the plates, providing operational flexibility without complex manufacturing

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple display styles are enabled, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay style varietyVSAvoidassembly structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display stand is divided into multiple independent support plates that can be separately assembled. Each support plate contains through holes and connecting segments that allow individual plates to be positioned and connected in various configurations, enabling flexible display arrangements while maintaining simple individual component structures

AI summary

A glasses display stand includes support plates and leaning pieces and is capable of being assembled in multiple ways. At least one through hole with a locking hole is located on a middle part of each support plate. A plurality of connecting segments are arranged at each of two sides of each support plate and each having a mounting hole. At least one insertion segment and insertion hole are projecting from two sides of each support plate correspondingly for connection with another support plate. Each leaning piece includes at least one locking portion inserted through and locked in a corresponding locking hole, a leaning and mounting portion extending from an outer end of the locking portion, and a plurality of extension portions projecting from the leaning piece and corresponding to the connecting segments. A positioning hook is formed on a distal end of the extension portion.
