Television Carrier with Removable Back Panel for Transport and Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a protective and portable device that can securely transport and display lightweight televisions for outdoor recreational activities like camping and tailgating, while minimizing the risk of damage to the screen and structural components, and allowing for easy viewing without completely removing the television from the protective carrier.
Innovation Solution
A television protection and carrying device with a top and bottom portion, featuring a sun shield, locking mechanisms, cushioning elements, and adjustable positioning bars, which securely holds the television and allows for conversion between transport and display modes, including a handle and strap for ease of carrying and mounting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the television is placed in a protective carrier for transport, then the television is protected from damage, but the television cannot be viewed without removing it from the carrier
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier is designed with a removable back panel that can be detached to convert the carrier from a closed protective enclosure to an open display stand. This dynamic transformation allows the television to remain in the carrier for both protected transport and convenient viewing, eliminating the need to remove the television from the carrier.
Solution Approach 2:
The carrier serves multiple functions: it acts as a protective transport case when the back panel is attached, and as a display stand when the back panel is removed. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by allowing the same device to provide both protection during transport and viewing convenience during use.
2Reliability
If the television is secured tightly in the carrier, then the television is protected from movement and damage, but the television cannot be easily removed or installed
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier employs dynamic fastening mechanisms including removable straps and adjustable positioning bars that can be easily engaged and disengaged. These mechanisms provide secure holding during transport while allowing quick and easy installation and removal of the television by simply releasing the fastening elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing system is divided into multiple independent components (straps, positioning bars, receptacles) that can be individually adjusted and released. This segmentation allows the television to be securely held during transport while enabling easy installation and removal by simply releasing each component in sequence.
3Strength
If the carrier is designed as a single solid piece, then the structure is simple and strong, but it cannot be adjusted for different viewing angles or configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier is divided into multiple components including a base portion, a back panel, positioning bars, and support elements that can be independently adjusted. This segmentation maintains structural integrity through strong joint connections while enabling adjustment of viewing angles and configurations by repositioning the individual components.
Solution Approach 2:
The carrier incorporates adjustable positioning bars with multiple receptacles and movable support elements that can be repositioned to different locations. This dynamic adjustability allows the carrier to adapt to different viewing angles and configurations while maintaining structural strength through robust connection points.
