Viewing Screen Mount With Integrated Hook Retention and Tilt Lock
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen positioning systems are complex and prone to assembly errors due to multiple components, which increases production costs and assembly complexity.
Innovation Solution
A simplified system with a retaining body featuring a spring member and hook edges integrated into a plastic product, allowing for easy assembly without separate components, and a tilting mechanism using a locking mechanism with an eccentric body for precise tilting adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If multiple separate components are used in the positioning system, then the functionality is comprehensive, but the assembly complexity increases and assembly errors occur more frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the spring member and the second hook edge into a single integral retaining body, eliminating the need for separate assembly of these components. This merging reduces the total number of parts and assembly steps, directly addressing the contradiction between comprehensive functionality and assembly complexity while improving reliability by reducing potential assembly error points.
2Device complexity
If multiple separate components are used in the positioning system, then the functionality is comprehensive, but the production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The retaining body is designed as an integral component combining the spring member and second hook edge, reducing the number of separate parts that need to be manufactured, stored, and assembled. This consolidation lowers production costs by reducing material waste, manufacturing steps, and quality control requirements while maintaining all necessary functionalities.
3Ease of operation
If the spring member is assembled separately, then the functionality is modular, but the assembly process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The spring member and second hook edge are pre-integrated into the retaining body as an integral component during manufacturing. This preliminary action eliminates the need for separate assembly operations during installation, significantly reducing assembly time and complexity while maintaining the functional benefits of the spring mechanism and hook engagement.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system reduces assembly errors and production costs by integrating components, while enabling easy tilting and secure positioning of viewing screens with reduced component count and enhanced assembly efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
The spring member (15) is configured to engage a hook edge (5, 13) of the other of the base body (2) and the screen body (3) in order to retain the screen body (3) in the suspended state

AI summary
The invention provides a system (1; 51) for positioning a viewing screen. The system comprises a base body (2; 58), a screen body (3; 59) which is configured, on the one hand, to be rigidly connected to the base body and is configured, on the other hand, secure a viewing screen thereto, and a retaining body for releasably retaining the rigid connection between the base body and the screen body. One of the base body and the screen body has a first hook edge.
