Tablet Mount Frame With Soft Covering for Damage-Free Insertion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tablet mounting systems risk damaging the device during insertion due to snap or clip connections, side guides, or back plates, compromising stability and ease of use.
Innovation Solution
A mounting system comprising a frame member, a back plate, a guide, a detachable rigid cover plate, and a covering layer made of leather or non-woven fabric, which ensures gentle insertion and stability without damage, allowing for interchangeable coverings and secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a snap or clip connection is used to securely hold the tablet in the frame, then the tablet is securely held, but the insertion of the tablet is complicated and the snap or clip connection can damage the edge of the tablet
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful snap or clip connection elements are completely removed from the mounting system. Instead, a simple frame structure with side guides is used that allows the tablet to be inserted and held securely without any clips or snaps that could damage the device or complicate insertion.
Solution Approach 2:
A soft covering layer is applied to the inner side of the frame member to provide a gentle, protective surface for the tablet during insertion and when held in the mounting system. This flexible covering prevents edge damage while maintaining secure holding.
2Ease of operation
If side guides are used in the frame to guide tablet insertion, then the tablet can be inserted, but the tablet can be damaged by the side guides
Solution Approach 1:
A soft covering layer made of leather, imitation leather, or non-woven fabric is applied to the side guides and inner surfaces of the frame member. This flexible covering provides the necessary guidance structure while preventing damage to the tablet edges during insertion.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame member combines a rigid structural component (for maintaining shape and providing guidance) with a soft covering layer (for protecting the tablet). This composite structure achieves both guidance functionality and damage prevention.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a back plate is attached to the frame to close the frame over its entire rear surface and ensure stability, then good stability is ensured, but the tablet can be damaged by the back plate and/or side guides when inserted
Solution Approach 1:
The back plate is covered with a soft covering layer that prevents damage to the tablet during insertion while maintaining the structural stability provided by the rigid back plate framework. The soft covering acts as a protective interface between the rigid structure and the tablet.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system combines a rigid back plate structure (for stability) with a soft covering material (for protection). This composite approach allows the frame to be stable while preventing damage to the inserted tablet.
4Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid cover plate is used to cover the receiving space, then stability is provided and openings are covered, but the covering lacks a gentle surface for tablet insertion
Solution Approach 1:
A soft covering layer is applied to the rigid cover plate to provide a gentle, protective surface for the tablet during insertion. The flexible covering conforms to the rigid structure while providing the necessary soft interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover plate combines a rigid base structure (for stability and opening coverage) with a soft covering layer (for gentle tablet insertion). This composite design achieves both structural requirements and protective functionality.

AI summary
The invention pertains to a mounting system for a tablet comprising: a frame member; a back plate which is partially surrounded by the frame member, wherein the frame member and the back plate define a receiving space for the tablet on an inner side of the frame member; a guide which extends at least partially on the inner side of the frame member and is formed for insertion and receiving of the tablet in the receiving space; a rigid cover plate which is detachably connected to the back plate and at least partially covers the receiving space; and a covering layer made of leather, imitation leather or non-woven fabric, which at least partially covers the rigid cover plate on a side facing away from the back plate and which is firmly connected to the rigid cover plate.
