Innovation Solution
A multifunctional attachment device comprising a first component with a bolt and a second component with a nut portion, allowing for the connection of frame modules and the attachment of display modules, using a pin with an external screw thread and a cylindrical housing with specific diameter transitions to facilitate alignment and secure fitting, enabling the use of a single type of attachment device for various configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of connecting elements are used for different connection purposes, then the connection functionality is comprehensive, but the device complexity and construction process become complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single connecting element that can perform multiple connection functions. The connecting element includes a bolt portion for screwing into nuts and a pin portion for inserting into holes, allowing it to connect frame modules, display modules, and advertising panels using different configurations of the same element type, thereby eliminating the need for multiple specialized connecting elements
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the functions of different connecting elements into a single unified design. By combining the bolt and pin functionalities into one connecting element with both a bolt portion and a pin portion, the patent consolidates multiple connection methods into a single versatile component that can adapt to various connection scenarios
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of connecting elements are used for different connection purposes, then the connection functionality is comprehensive, but the construction and dismantling processes become time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces construction and dismantling time by enabling workers to use the same connecting element type for all connection tasks. This eliminates the time required to identify, select, and handle multiple different connecting element types, allowing for faster and more consistent assembly and disassembly operations across all module connections
3Device complexity
If a single type of attachment device is used for all connections, then the device complexity is reduced and construction is simplified, but the adaptability to different connection configurations may be limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics by making the connecting element adaptable to different connection configurations through its dual-structure design. The connecting element can dynamically switch between different connection modes (screwing into nuts, inserting into holes, connecting frame modules, display modules, or advertising panels) based on the specific application requirements, providing versatility without requiring multiple specialized elements

AI summary
The invention relates to an improved multifunctional attachment device for connecting a display module to a frame module, the display module and the frame module being part of a modular exhibition stand or of a modular video wall. The multifunctional attachment device consists of a first component (300) and a second component (400) which are configured to engage each other, making it possible to fasten two frame modules to each other. At least one of the components is further configured to fasten a display module to a frame module. As such, only one type of attachment device is needed to build the exhibition stand or video wall.
