Stand-up display, in particular stand-up display figure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing paper or cardboard display stands are complex to manufacture and inflexible, limiting their use as both decorative and advertising elements, as well as toy figures, since they cannot be easily repurposed once assembled.
Innovation Solution
A modular design featuring a base element and plug-in element made from foldable blanks, where the plug-in element can be interchangeable and securely attached to the base element using latching mechanisms, allowing for various configurations and easy detachment, enabling flexible use as decorations, advertising, or toy figures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a display stand is folded from a sheet of paper or cardboard, then it can be manufactured simply, but the manufacturing process becomes complex when the display stand structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The display stand is divided into separate components: a base element and a plug-in element. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently using simple folding processes, avoiding the complexity that would arise from folding a single complex structure. The base element provides stability while the plug-in element provides versatility, and their separate manufacturing simplifies production.
Solution Approach 2:
The base element is designed as a universal component that can accommodate multiple different plug-in elements. This multi-functionality allows the same base to be used with various silhouettes for different purposes (advertising, decoration, toys), simplifying manufacturing by reusing the base element rather than creating unique folded structures for each application.
2Shape
If a display figure is folded and assembled, then it takes shape, but it cannot be reused for other purposes afterward
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the display figure into a permanent base element and interchangeable plug-in elements, the design enables the base to remain while different plug-in elements can be attached for various purposes. This segmentation directly enables reusability - the base element can be used with multiple different silhouettes for advertising, decoration, or toy functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The base element is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple different plug-in elements with various functions. This universality allows the same base to serve multiple purposes - it can be used as an advertising display, a table decoration, or a toy figure by simply changing the plug-in element, thereby achieving high adaptability and reusability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the base element has a larger base side surface area than receiving surface area, then stability is achieved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The base element structure is segmented into distinct functional areas: a larger base side for stability and a smaller receiving surface for the plug-in element. This segmentation allows the stability function to be achieved through the extended base side area without requiring complex overall结构设计, as the stability and connection functions are separated into different parts of the base element.

AI summary
Stand-up displays, in particular stand-up display figures, are often used as decoration, but can also be designed as toy figures. The fold process for producing the stand-up display can be as complicated as same is complex. A further disadvantage can be seen in that stand-up displays are generally have limited use. The invention provides a stand-up display which is easy to produce and can be used in a flexible manner. This is achieved in that the stand-up display, according to the invention, consists of at least one first blank (13) and at least one second blank (14, 39), wherein the first blank (13) can be folded to a base element (11) which has two transverse sides (27), two longitudinal sides (15), a stand side (18) and a receiving side (28). In addition, the second blank (14, 39) can be inserted on the base element (11) as an insertion element (12) to stabilise the base element (11).
