Pivoting Display Lift Bracket for Rear Port Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital display devices are difficult to access for configuration modifications due to their rear ports/interfaces being hard to reach after mounting, making it challenging to update or modify their settings.
Innovation Solution
A digital display mounting and lift bracket that pivots between open and closed positions, allowing the display to be lifted for rear access while maintaining proper orientation for use, featuring a hinged connection and shocks to retain the open position, facilitating easy access to the rear surface for maintenance or configuration changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display device is mounted directly to a wall or within an enclosure, then the display is securely positioned and stable, but the rear surface becomes difficult to access for configuration modifications
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed with a pivoting member that allows dynamic movement between a closed position (for secure mounting) and an open position (for accessing the rear surface). This dynamic structure enables the bracket to adapt between two functional states, resolving the contradiction between stable mounting and ease of access.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket is divided into separate functional components: a stationary member for secure attachment to the wall, and a pivoting member that can move independently to provide access. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally while working together as a unified system.
2Ease of operation
If the bracket is designed to pivot between open and closed positions, then access to the rear surface is facilitated, but the device complexity increases due to additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The pivoting member is nested within the stationary member, with the horizontal arm of the pivoting member coupled to the horizontal arm of the stationary member via a hinge. This nested configuration allows the moving part to be integrated within the fixed structure, minimizing additional space requirements and reducing overall system complexity while still providing the necessary pivoting functionality.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables easy access to the rear surface of digital display devices for maintenance or configuration without manual holding, ensuring efficient updates and minimizing interference with the display's operation.
Implementation Method 1
a pivoting member that is coupled to the stationary member via a hinged connection; The hinged connection allows the pivoting member to pivot between a closed position and an open position
Implementation Method 2
one or more shocks that extend between the bracket support and the pivoting member. The one or more shocks maintain the pivoting member in the open position

AI summary
A digital display mounting and lift bracket can be employed to mount a display device to a wall or other surface or within an enclosure. The bracket can be configured to pivot between an open and a closed position. When the bracket is in the open position, a display device will be lifted upwardly thereby facilitating access to the rear surface of the display device. The bracket can then be returned to the closed position in which the display device will be properly oriented for use.
