Movable Safety Lock for Wall-Mounted Electronic Device Brackets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mounting devices for electronic devices on walls fail to function properly when installed in recessed areas, as the safety lock cannot be inserted due to the shape of the recess.
Innovation Solution
A mounting device with a fixed bracket unit, a detachable bracket unit, and a movable safety lock that can engage and disengage from an engaging groove, preventing upward movement of the detachable bracket unit, allowing for secure attachment and detachment in various wall configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional mounting device with a fixed safety lock is used, then the device can be securely mounted on a flat wall, but it cannot be properly installed in recessed areas
Solution Approach 1:
The safety lock is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to shift between engaged and disengaged positions. This enables the safety lock to adapt to different installation scenarios including recessed walls, where the movable nature allows proper engagement despite spatial constraints
2Adaptability or versatility
If the safety lock is made movable to enable recessed installation, then the device can be installed in various wall configurations, but the locking mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The movable safety lock utilizes the engagement force from the bracket unit itself to drive the locking action. When the bracket unit engages with the wall structure, this movement automatically drives the safety lock into its locked position, eliminating the need for separate locking mechanisms or complex actuation systems
3Reliability
If the safety lock extends into the engaging groove to prevent upward movement, then the detachable bracket unit is securely fixed, but the device cannot be easily detached when needed
Solution Approach 1:
The safety lock is designed with movable characteristics that allow it to be engaged securely during normal operation but can be easily disengaged when needed. The movable nature enables the safety lock to transition between locked and unlocked states, providing both secure attachment and easy detachment capabilities

AI summary
A mounting device includes a fixed bracket unit, a detachable bracket unit, and a safety lock. The fixed bracket unit is mounted on a wall. The detachable bracket unit is fastened to an electronic device, is formed with an engaging groove, and is suspended on the fixed bracket unit. The safety lock is coupled movably to the fixed bracket unit, and is movable relative to the fixed bracket unit between an engaged position, where the safety lock extends into the engaging groove in the detachable bracket unit, and a disengaged position, where the safety lock disengages the engaging groove in the detachable bracket unit.
