Wall Mount Bracket With Movable Safety Lock for Recessed Installations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mounting devices for electronic devices on walls fail to function properly when installed in recessed areas due to the inability to insert safety locks, leading to instability and potential detachment.
Innovation Solution
A mounting device with a fixed bracket unit, a detachable bracket unit, and a movable safety lock that can switch between engaged and disengaged positions, allowing the safety lock to extend into an engaging groove in the detachable bracket unit to prevent upward movement, ensuring secure attachment and detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional safety lock is used in a recessed wall installation, then the mounting device cannot be properly secured, but using a movable safety lock coupled to the fixed bracket unit allows engagement with the engaging groove to prevent upward movement of the detachable bracket unit
Solution Approach 1:
The safety lock is designed to be movable relative to the fixed bracket unit, transitioning between a first position (disengaged) and a second position (engaged). This dynamic capability allows the safety lock to adapt to different wall configurations including recessed areas, while maintaining secure engagement when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The engaging groove formed on the detachable bracket unit serves as an intermediary element that receives the safety lock. This groove provides a dedicated engagement interface that works with the movable safety lock to prevent upward movement of the detachable bracket unit relative to the fixed bracket unit.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the safety lock is fixed to the wall, then it cannot be inserted in recessed areas, but making it movable relative to the fixed bracket unit enables insertion in various wall configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The safety lock is designed to be movable relative to the fixed bracket unit, transitioning between a first position (disengaged) and a second position (engaged). This dynamic capability allows the safety lock to adapt to different wall configurations including recessed areas, while maintaining secure engagement when needed.
3Ease of operation
If the safety lock permanently prevents upward movement, then detachment is difficult, but allowing movement between engaged and disengaged positions enables easy detachment while maintaining security
Solution Approach 1:
The safety lock is designed to be movable relative to the fixed bracket unit, transitioning between a first position (disengaged) and a second position (engaged). In the engaged position, the safety lock prevents upward movement of the detachable bracket unit; in the disengaged position, it allows easy detachment. This dynamic design simultaneously achieves both security and ease of operation.

AI summary
A mounting device includes a fixed bracket unit, a detachable bracket unit, and a safety lock. The fixed bracket unit is mounted on a wall. The detachable bracket unit is fastened to an electronic device, is formed with an engaging groove, and is suspended on the fixed bracket unit. The safety lock is coupled movably to the fixed bracket unit, and is movable relative to the fixed bracket unit between an engaged position, where the safety lock extends into the engaging groove in the detachable bracket unit, and a disengaged position, where the safety lock disengages the engaging groove in the detachable bracket unit.
