Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current television mounts lack the ability to securely and easily mount flat panel TVs on angled surfaces, such as sloped ceilings or walls, without compromising installation ease or increasing costs.
Innovation Solution
A multi-angled television wall mount system with adjustable angle joints and a universal television bracket, allowing for vertical and horizontal adjustments, enabling the TV to be mounted on any surface while maintaining a secure and versatile installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-angle wall mount is used, then the mounting structure is simple and cost-effective, but it cannot accommodate irregularly angled surfaces such as sloped ceilings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the mounting structure adjustable rather than fixed. The arm assembly includes multiple joints that can be positioned at different angles, allowing the mount to adapt to various surface orientations while maintaining structural integrity. This transforms a static mount into a dynamic system that can configure itself to different mounting scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure is divided into multiple separable components including a base plate, arm assembly with segments, and mounting brackets. Each segment can be independently adjusted and positioned, allowing the overall structure to accommodate irregular angles. The segmented design enables flexibility without requiring complete structural redesign for different mounting surfaces.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a multi-angled adjustable mount is used, then adaptability to any surface angle is achieved, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The arm assembly is designed as a universal component that can function at multiple angles and positions. The same arm segments and joints used for vertical angle adjustment can also accommodate horizontal positioning needs. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components for different mounting scenarios, simplifying manufacturing while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount utilizes adjustable parameters such as joint angles, arm lengths, and positioning holes that can be configured for different mounting requirements. By changing these parameters rather than redesigning the entire structure, the system achieves versatility without proportionally increasing manufacturing complexity. Standardized components with adjustable parameters are easier to manufacture than custom-angle mounts.
3Adaptability or versatility
If cable access is required for wall-mounted TVs, then cable management functionality is added, but the mount structure becomes more complex and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The cable access features are integrated within the existing mount structure rather than added as separate external components. Cable channels are routed through the arm segments and base plate, and cable access holes are incorporated into the mounting brackets. This nesting approach allows cable management functionality to be embedded in the structural elements already required for TV support, avoiding additional complexity.
