Pivoting Device Holder for Stable Camera Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Non-portable electronic devices, such as cameras, often require difficult adjustments of camera angles after installation, which can be cumbersome for users.
Innovation Solution
A device holder with a base, front cover, pivot, and engaging structure that allows for adjustable angle positioning of electronic devices by rotating the front cover relative to the base, using a pivot and engaging mechanism to secure the device in place.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the electronic device is installed in a fixed position, then the installation stability is improved, but the camera angle adjustment becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The front cover is designed to rotate relative to the base through a pivot mechanism, transforming the static holder into a dynamic structure. This allows the camera angle to be adjusted by rotating the front cover to different positions, while the pivot ensures stable positioning at each angle. The mount bracket also rotates relative to the base, providing additional dynamic adjustment capability for the electronic device orientation.
2Ease of operation
If the front cover is made rotatable, then the camera angle adjustment is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is divided into distinct functional modules: a base, a rotatable front cover, and a separate mount bracket. Each module has a specific function - the base provides stable mounting, the front cover enables angle adjustment through rotation, and the mount bracket holds the electronic device. This segmentation allows for independent optimization of each component and simplifies the overall design compared to a monolithic structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The pivot acts as an intermediary element between the front cover and the base, enabling rotational movement while maintaining stable connection. This simple mechanical intermediary component facilitates the angle adjustment function without requiring complex mechanisms, motors, or control systems, thus adding minimal complexity to achieve the desired functionality.

AI summary
A device holder includes a base, a pivot and a front cover. The base has a bearing portion. The front cover has a pressing portion and is pivotally disposed on the base by the pivot. When the device holder is in a closed state, the bearing portion and the pressing portion form an accommodation space. The front cover of the device holder provided by the present invention may rotate relative to the base to be open, so as to adjust the angle of the electronic device or accompanying object accommodated therein.
