A dematerialized display stand system with a single sliding member, hinge support, and modular pivot assembly, utilizing extruded aluminum and injection molded components for easier assembly and recycling, reducing component count and material complexity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional peripheral displays use complex designs with multiple components and screws, then structural stability and functionality are improved, but ease of manufacture, assembly, disassembly, and recycling deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The display stand is divided into distinct modular components including a base, a riser, and a display support assembly. Each component can be independently manufactured, assembled, and disassembled. The riser contains an internal cavity that receives a sliding member, creating clear separation between structural elements while maintaining overall stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding member is nested within the internal cavity of the riser, with the hinge support member coupled to the sliding member. This nested arrangement reduces the overall component count and eliminates the need for multiple external fasteners, while maintaining structural integrity through internal coupling mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional peripheral displays use complex designs with multiple materials, then functional versatility is improved, but ease of repair and recycling deteriorate due to incompatible materials
Solution Approach 1:
The display stand components are constructed using homogeneous materials - the base and riser use injection-molded plastic, while the sliding member and hinge support use compatible plastic materials. This material homogeneity enables all components to be processed together through recycling facilities without requiring separation of incompatible materials, significantly improving recyclability.
3Strength
If traditional display stands use multiple components held together by screws, then structural strength is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple fastening functions are merged into a single sliding member that integrates the hinge support coupling. The sliding member simultaneously provides vertical adjustment, horizontal positioning, and structural coupling between the riser and display support, eliminating the need for separate screws and fasteners while maintaining structural strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding member serves multiple functions: it enables vertical height adjustment of the display, provides horizontal positioning within the riser cavity, couples the hinge support member to the riser structure, and maintains structural integrity during rotation and movement. This multi-functionality reduces component count while preserving structural strength.

AI summary
A dematerialized information handling system display stand supports a display assembly with vertical adjustments using a single injection molded polyoxymethylene (POM) sliding member inserted in an extruded aluminum riser. A compression spring locks the sliding member in place with torsional force that releases to enable vertical movement. A hinge member couples to the sliding member to accept a display support that extends out of the riser and couples to the display assembly. Vertical sliding movement is provided with an assembly that uses only one screw for ease of assembly and disassembly.
