Tri-Directional Display Bracket for 360-Degree Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mounting solutions for electronic displays restrict the viewing angle to 180 degrees or less, limiting viewer access to information from certain angles.
Innovation Solution
A tri-directional bracket system that connects multiple displays to provide a 360-degree viewing angle by forming a triangular structure with interconnected sides, end caps, and a guide, allowing for mounting on a tripod or other structures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a two-sided bracket is used to mount displays, then the mounting structure is simple, but the viewing angle is limited to 180 degrees
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a two-sided mounting bracket to a tri-directional bracket that adds a third mounting dimension. The bracket structure includes three mounting surfaces arranged to provide 360-degree viewing capability, effectively adding a dimensional aspect to the mounting configuration that enables viewers from all directions to access the display information.
2Stability of the object's composition
If wall-mounted displays are used, then the displays are stable, but the viewing angle is limited to 180 degrees
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single wall-mounted display configuration into multiple display units mounted on a tri-directional bracket structure. Each display can be independently mounted on different faces of the triangular bracket, allowing the system to provide stable mounting while achieving 360-degree viewing coverage through the segmented multi-face configuration.
3Loss of information
If multiple displays are mounted on the same fixture, then the information coverage is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tri-directional bracket is designed as a universal mounting structure that can accommodate multiple display devices on a single fixture. The bracket includes three mounting surfaces with standardized mounting interfaces, allowing different display types (televisions, monitors, tablets) to be mounted on the same fixture without requiring separate mounting solutions for each device.

AI summary
A tri-directional bracket, system, and method is for displaying information is disclosed. The bracket includes a set of sides connected to each other defining a generally triangular prism, a first end cap connected to the set of sides at a first end, a second end cap, connected to the set of sides at a second end, a stop cap connected to the set of sides, positioned between the first end and the second end, and a guide connected to the set of sides, positioned between the stop cap and the second end cap. A handle is connected to the first end cap. A 360-degree viewing angle defined by the set of sides. A set of displays is connected to the tri-directional bracket and a computing device is connected to the set of displays to display information. The bracket is then connected to a mounting structure, such as a tripod.
