Multi-Axis Display Mount for Video Wall Alignment and Service Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mounting systems for flat-panel displays lack adjustability and flexibility, making it difficult to achieve optimal viewing positions and orientations without tools, and are not well-suited for video wall applications where precise alignment and uniform positioning of multiple displays are required.
Innovation Solution
The development of adjustable mounting systems that allow for tool-free adjustment of display position and orientation in multiple degrees of freedom, featuring a surface bracket, extension arm assembly, mount carriage, and device bracket assemblies, enabling independent translation and rotation of displays relative to the mounting surface, with components that can be easily accessed and adjusted in extended positions for service.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional mounting systems are used, then the structure is simple and stable, but the adjustability and flexibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into multiple independent adjustable components including extension arms, carriages, and device brackets that can each be adjusted separately. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system incorporates multiple movable and adjustable components that can be dynamically repositioned. Extension arms can extend/retract, carriages can move along rails, and device brackets can be adjusted in multiple directions, transforming a static mounting system into a dynamic one that adapts to various display configurations.
2Ease of operation
If adjustable mounting systems are used, then optimal viewing positions can be achieved, but tool-free adjustment becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates self-adjusting mechanisms with movable components that can be repositioned without tools. The extension arms, carriages, and device brackets are designed with easy-grip features and straightforward adjustment mechanisms that allow users to make precise alignment adjustments using only their hands.
3Length of moving object
If displays are mounted close to the surface, then the profile is low, but access for maintenance becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates movable extension arms and carriages that can be dynamically repositioned between a retracted state (providing low profile) and an extended state (providing access for maintenance). This dynamic capability allows the system to satisfy both low profile requirements and maintenance accessibility requirements at different times.

AI summary
A mounting system for mounting a display device to a surface, the mounting system adjustable in multiple degrees of freedom to selectively position and orientate the attached device relative to the mounting surface and/or other collocated display devices. According to various embodiments, a surface bracket is configured to attach to a mounting surface and an arm assembly operatively couples the surface bracket with a mount carriage. A mount bracket is movably coupled to the mount carriage and is selectively movable in a plane substantially parallel to the surface. A plurality of device bracket assemblies are coupled to the mount bracket. Each of the device bracket assemblies is selectively movable to translate, pivot and tilt the attached device.
