Storable Flat Panel Display Pedestal for Compact Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flat panel display pedestals occupy significant space and require additional assembly and disassembly, making them cumbersome for transportation and storage, and fixed pedestals further complicate packaging.
Innovation Solution
A storable pedestal design where the first and second stands are housed within containers at the bottom of the main body, allowing them to be vertically moved and rotated for use, enabling complete storage within the display when not in use, thus reducing overall size and simplifying handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a detachable pedestal is used, then assembly and disassembly is possible for transportation, but the pedestal still occupies significant space in packaging and requires additional assembly work
Solution Approach 1:
The pedestal structure is designed to be nested within the main body of the flat panel display. The pedestal can be completely stored inside the display housing, allowing the display to be packaged in a compact form without requiring separate space for the pedestal, thereby resolving the contradiction between assembly capability and packaging space.
Solution Approach 2:
The pedestal and main body are merged into a single integrated unit where the pedestal can be stored within the main body. This combination eliminates the need for separate packaging space for the pedestal while maintaining the detachable feature for assembly and disassembly when needed.
2Ease of manufacture
If a fixed pedestal is used, then no assembly work is needed, but much more space is required for packaging the flat panel display
Solution Approach 1:
The pedestal transitions from a fixed static structure to a dynamic storage system where it can be moved between a deployed position (providing support) and a retracted position (stored within the main body). This dynamic design allows the pedestal to be integrated into the main body volume, reducing packaging space while maintaining ease of use through simple extraction and rotation mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional detachable pedestal is used, then the pedestal can be separated from the main body, but it requires quite a lot space from the box when packing and more work for assembly and disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The pedestal is designed to nest within the main body like a doll inside another doll, creating a compact integrated unit. This nesting design maintains the detachable feature for versatility while eliminating the need for complex assembly and disassembly operations, as the pedestal can be simply extracted and rotated into position without requiring separate mounting steps.

AI summary
A pedestal structure of a flat panel display is made storable and disposed at the bottom of a main body of the flat panel display. The pedestal structure has substantially similar shape as a container of the main body that contains the pedestal structure and is capable of being completely hid in the main body when the pedestal structure is not in use. The pedestal structure may be directly drawn out of and rotated with respect to the main body as the support of the main body.
