Angled Pegboard Mounting Structure for Better Product Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Retail environments face challenges in displaying a variety of products due to the vertical nature of existing support systems, which limits the ability to present items at an angle, affecting visibility and flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A support structure comprising horizontal and vertical components with adjustable arms and tabs that allow for angled mounting, enabling a peg board to be positioned at a slope, enhancing product visibility and allowing for customizable displays without the need for tools or fasteners.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a vertical support system with peg board is used, then product display flexibility is provided, but product visibility is limited due to vertical stacking
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure employs adjustable arms with multiple positioning holes that allow the peg board to be tilted at various angles relative to the vertical support. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the display surface to be oriented optimally for product visibility while maintaining flexibility in different display configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces an angular dimension to the traditionally vertical display system. By incorporating adjustable arms that can tilt the peg board at different angles, the system transforms from a purely vertical two-dimensional display to a three-dimensional display with angular variation, significantly improving product visibility from multiple viewing angles.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional vertical mounting is used, then structural simplicity is maintained, but display customization is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is divided into separate modular components: a vertical support, adjustable arms with positioning holes, and a peg board. This segmentation allows each component to be independently adjusted and positioned, enabling extensive display customization while keeping individual components relatively simple in design.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable arms serve multiple functions: they provide structural support, enable angular adjustment, and allow positioning at various heights through the series of holes. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized components, balancing customization capability with structural simplicity.
3Illumination intensity
If adjustable angled mounting is implemented, then product visibility is improved, but assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable arms feature tabs that engage with corresponding slots in the vertical support and positioning holes that allow the arms to be adjusted to different angles and heights without requiring additional tools or fasteners. This self-service design enables easy assembly and reconfiguration by simply inserting and positioning the components.

AI summary
A support structure may be mounted to an existing vertical support. In an embodiment, the support structure may include a plurality of horizontal support members. Two or more vertical uprights are mounted to the horizontal supports. The vertical uprights and one of the horizontal support members provide channels for retaining a peg board panel in position. The support structure may be configured so as to cause the peg board panel to at an angle compared to the vertical supports. Multiple support structures may be coupled together to provide runs of peg board panels. Furthermore, the peg board panel may include a graphic that correspond to products being supported by the peg board panel.
