Movable Arm Flat Screen Display Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flat screen display systems are cumbersome to install and remove from a wall or transport due to complex manipulation requirements and bulky designs, especially when equipped with folding handles.
Innovation Solution
A flat screen display device featuring movable arms that can transition between a compact folded position for transport and an unfolded position for stability on a horizontal plane, with acoustic enclosures and rotation mechanisms for ergonomic and stable mounting on walls, allowing easy installation and compact transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If folding handles are added to enable transport, then the device becomes portable, but the device becomes bulky and complex to manipulate
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure transitions from a static fixed support to a dynamic movable arm system that can change position between a first position (moved away from the screen plane) and a second position (folded against the cabinet). This dynamic capability enables the device to adapt between transport and display modes without requiring complex folding handles.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable arm serves multiple functions: it provides structural support when extended to the first position, and it folds compactly against the cabinet in the second position for transport. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate folding handle mechanisms, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining portability.
2Reliability
If a fixed support is installed on the rear of the screen, then the screen can be securely mounted, but the installation and removal process becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to be easily positioned and adjusted. The arm can be moved between extended and folded positions, enabling simple installation and removal without the cumbersome manipulation required by fixed support systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable arm system is designed to be self-adjusting and self-supporting. Once positioned in the first configuration, the arm maintains the screen stability automatically through its structural design, eliminating the need for complex installation procedures or additional fastening mechanisms.
3Area of stationary object
If the screen is designed for wall mounting, then space is saved, but the device becomes difficult to transport
Solution Approach 1:
The support arm is designed with movable capability, allowing it to be folded against the cabinet when not in use. This dynamic folding mechanism enables the device to transition from a wall-mounted configuration to a compact transport configuration, resolving the contradiction between space-saving mounting and transportability.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure is segmented into movable components rather than a single fixed attachment. This segmentation allows the support to be folded and compacted, enabling the device to maintain both wall-mounting capability and transportability by dividing the support function into adjustable segments.

AI summary
The invention concerns a display device (1) comprising a flat screen, a cabinet (10) and at least one mobile arm (15) capable of taking up first and second positions: in the first position, one end of the mobile arm(s) is spaced apart from a plane corresponding to the front surface of the screen along a horizontal direction, one part at least of the arm(s) being adapted to maintain the screen in a substantially vertical position (50) when the device is resting on a horizontal plane (51); and in the second position, the arm(s) are in the space between planes parallel to the screen and tangent respectively to the front and the rear of the cabinet.
