Adjustable Screen Mounting Assembly With Pivoting Side Arms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional screen supporting apparatuses do not allow for adjustment of the inclination angle of the screens they support, making them inconvenient for use.
Innovation Solution
A screen supporting apparatus with a movable assembly that includes a slideway unit and engaging portions on a sliding member, allowing for adjustable inclination of the screens by sliding rods within slide slots, and side arms that can pivot to adjust the screen's position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional screen supporting apparatus with fixed supporting arms is used, then the structure is simple and stable, but the inclination angle of the screen cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting arms are transformed from fixed to movable components. The first and second supporting arms are pivotally connected to the movable member, allowing them to rotate and adjust the inclination angle dynamically. This dynamic design enables the screen inclination to be adjusted while maintaining structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting apparatus is divided into distinct modular components: a movable member that slides on the supporting rod, and separate first and second supporting arms that can independently pivot. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while contributing to the overall adjustability of the system.
2Ease of operation
If fixed supporting arms are used in the screen supporting apparatus, then the manufacturing is simple, but the ease of operation is reduced due to inability to adjust screen inclination
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting arms incorporate pivotal connections that enable easy adjustment of the inclination angle during operation. The movable member can slide along the supporting rod, and the supporting arms can rotate, providing operational flexibility without requiring complex manufacturing processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable member serves multiple functions: it allows vertical adjustment of the screen height by sliding on the supporting rod, and it enables inclination adjustment by serving as the pivot point for the supporting arms. This multi-functionality improves ease of operation while avoiding the need for additional separate adjustment mechanisms.

AI summary
A screen supporting apparatus includes a supporting member and a movable assembly. The supporting member includes a base and an upright supporting rod disposed fixedly on and above the base. The movable assembly includes a mounting member disposed on the supporting rod and including a slideway unit. The sliding member has two spaced-apart engaging portions slidable within the slideway unit of the mounting member to adjust the inclination angle of the sliding member relative to the mounting member.
