Sport Board Wall Mount With Two-Point Support for Angled Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices for sport boards, such as skateboards, snowboards, and wakeboards, lack flexibility in orientation, often resulting in damage due to cantilevered forces when displayed at non-vertical angles and fail to showcase the artistic design effectively.
Innovation Solution
A sport board display device with a surface mounting plate, spacer, and two attachment bolts that allow secure mounting at both ends of the board, enabling vertical, horizontal, or angled orientations, ensuring stability and maximizing artistic presentation by maintaining the board parallel to the mounting surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the board is attached at only one end using screw mechanisms, then the installation is simple, but the weight of the board in non-vertical display orientation results in damage to the board
Solution Approach 1:
The single attachment point is segmented into two attachment points at opposite ends of the board. This distributes the weight and cantilevered forces across two points, preventing structural damage while maintaining simple installation through the use of standard truck mounting holes
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system transitions from a single-point attachment to a distributed two-point attachment system. This dimensional change in the attachment configuration allows the board to be securely held at both ends, eliminating the cantilever effect that causes damage while keeping the mechanism simple
2Adaptability or versatility
If the board is displayed in various orientations for artistic presentation, then the artistic display is enhanced, but the board may be damaged due to cantilevered forces
Solution Approach 1:
By providing attachment points at both ends of the board, the system segments the support structure to handle cantilevered forces in any orientation. This allows vertical, horizontal, or angled displays without damaging the board, as the two-point attachment distributes gravitational and lateral forces evenly
Solution Approach 2:
The two-point attachment system creates a universal mounting solution that works for any display orientation. The same attachment mechanism supports vertical wall displays, horizontal displays, and angled ceiling installations, providing multi-functional versatility while protecting the board from orientation-specific stresses
3Illumination intensity
If the board is mounted parallel to the wall surface, then the artwork visibility is improved, but the mounting complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting plate is extracted as a separate component from the attachment mechanism. This allows the board to be mounted parallel to the wall surface for optimal artwork visibility, while the mounting plate handles the complexity of achieving proper spacing and alignment, keeping the overall system relatively simple

AI summary
A device for displaying a sport board, such as a skateboard, on a flat surface, such as a wall or an angled ceiling, wherein the board may be displayed at any angle to maximize the artistic impact of the design. The display device includes a mounting plate, a spacer to accommodate the curvature of the sport board, and a board mounting bracket designed to accept bolts that are screwed into the opposite ends of the existing holes on a sport board deck.
