Transportable Sign With Dynamic Height Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current temporary advertising signs face challenges with limited aesthetic value, high installation and dismantling times, and safety concerns due to height requirements, which affect their economic viability and public acceptance.
Innovation Solution
A transportable sign design featuring a base, support, and display portion that can be transformed between high and low positions, allowing for easy image exchange without specialized equipment, improved portability, and hidden displacement mechanisms for enhanced aesthetics and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the display portion is positioned at a high position for advertising visibility, then the advertising effect is improved, but the safety risk increases due to height requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The display portion is designed to be dynamically repositionable between a high position (for advertising visibility) and a low position (for safety during maintenance and exchange). The support portion enables this dynamic adjustment, allowing the system to adapt its height based on operational requirements rather than being fixed at a potentially dangerous height.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the sign is constructed with heavy materials for stability, then the stability is improved, but the portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The sign is divided into separable components: a base portion, a support portion, and a display portion. This segmentation allows the use of lighter materials in each component while maintaining overall stability through proper assembly and configuration, thereby improving portability without sacrificing stability.
3Illumination intensity
If the display portion is fixed at a high position, then the advertising visibility is improved, but the ease of operation for image exchange deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display portion is designed to be dynamically repositionable between a high position (for advertising visibility) and a low position (for ease of operation during maintenance and exchange). The support portion enables this dynamic adjustment, allowing the system to adapt its height based on operational requirements rather than being fixed at a potentially dangerous height.
4Weight of moving object
If the sign structure is simplified for portability, then the portability is improved, but the aesthetic value deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs composite construction methods combining lightweight materials with aesthetic finishes. The base portion, support portion, and display portion are constructed using materials and designs that balance portability requirements with aesthetic appearance, allowing the sign to meet both functional and visual standards.

AI summary
A transportable sign (1) is provided which comprises a base portion (3), a support portion (5), and a display portion (7), In the sign, the display portion comprises a carrier (9) configured to carry a display medium (11) to display an image (13), e.g. a board, a cloth or a sail etc. The base portion is configured to position the sign supporting the support portion and the display portion, and the support portion is configured to support the display portion, when mounted to or on the base portion. In the sign, the display portion is mounted or mountable to the support portion to form a transformable assembly such that, when mounted to the base portion, the display portion is positionable in and movable between at least a first, relatively high, position and a second, relatively low, position with respect to the base portion.
