Solution Overview
Problem
Current display mounting brackets are fixed and non-adjustable, making it impossible to install plug cables from the back of the television after it is mounted and limiting the ability to adjust the distance between the television and the wall.
Innovation Solution
A display mounting device featuring a pantographic mechanism with deployable and retractable linkage assemblies that allow for adjustable positioning of the display relative to the wall, enabling flexible installation and cable access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed bracket structure is used to mount the television, then the mounting process is simple and the structure is stable, but the position of the television cannot be adjusted and cable installation is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed bracket structure into a dynamic, adjustable system. The bracket incorporates a pantographic mechanism with linkages that can change configuration, allowing the display to be positioned at multiple distances from the wall. This enables the structure to adapt between a retracted state (close to wall) and an extended state (far from wall), providing adjustability while maintaining structural integrity through mechanical linkage geometry.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket is segmented into multiple movable linkages rather than being a single rigid structure. The pantographic mechanism divides the mounting system into interconnected segments that can independently adjust their positions. This segmentation allows each linkage to contribute to the overall adjustability, enabling flexible positioning while keeping individual components manageable in size and complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the television is fixed to the bracket, then the mounting is secure, but cable installation from the back of the television becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by allowing the display to be mounted to the bracket before final positioning against the wall. The pantographic mechanism enables the display to be secured to the bracket in an extended position, providing access to the back of the display for cable installation. After cables are connected, the mechanism can be retracted to the final mounted position, ensuring both cable access and secure mounting are achieved.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a single-position bracket is used, then the structure is simple and manufacturing is easy, but the distance between television and wall cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed as a universal, multi-functional system that can accommodate different display sizes and mounting distances. The pantographic mechanism serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, enables position adjustment, and allows cable access. This multi-functionality is achieved through standardized linkage components that can be manufactured using similar processes, reducing overall manufacturing complexity despite the enhanced functionality.
