Wall mount system with brackets coupled to wall plate track by rotatable securement device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wall mounting systems for digital displays often have securement pins in difficult-to-access locations, making it inconvenient to install or remove displays, especially when physical impediments are present, requiring the removal of adjacent displays for access.
Innovation Solution
A wall mount system with a securement device and lever mechanism that allows for rotatable coupling with a lower track, enabling easy decoupling of the display from the wall mount for removal, without the need to access the center or back of the display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional wall mounting systems use pins placed in the center of the back of the display, then securement is achieved, but access to the pins becomes difficult when physical impediments are present
Solution Approach 1:
The securement mechanism transitions from a two-dimensional planar access (center of back) to a three-dimensional accessible location (lower rear corner), allowing operators to reach the securement element from multiple angles and positions, thereby resolving the access difficulty while maintaining securement reliability
Solution Approach 2:
A lever arm is introduced as an intermediary tool that extends the operator's reach and mechanical advantage, allowing the securement pin to be manipulated from a distant, easily accessible location rather than requiring direct access to the pin location itself
2Reliability
If additional securement is implemented using pins on the track and lip, then the display is securely mounted, but installation and removal become inconvenient when adjacent displays block access
Solution Approach 1:
The securement element is repositioned from the center back (2D constrained location) to the lower rear corner (3D accessible location), enabling operators to access and manipulate the securement mechanism from multiple directions without removing adjacent displays, thereby reducing installation and removal time while maintaining securement reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The securement pin is pre-positioned in an easily accessible location during manufacturing, eliminating the need for complex access maneuvers during installation or removal operations, allowing quick deployment and retrieval of displays
3Reliability
If securement pins are placed in the center of the back of the display, then the display is securely attached to the wall, but removing a single display requires removing adjacent displays
Solution Approach 1:
The securement mechanism is relocated to the lower rear corner where it can be accessed independently of adjacent displays, transforming a complex multi-display removal procedure into a simple single-display operation while preserving securement reliability through the same pin-and-track mechanism

AI summary
A wall mount system is disclosed. The wall mount system can include a wall plate and one or more brackets. To secure a display to a wall, the brackets are affixed to the display and the wall plate is affixed to the wall. The brackets can include one or more lips couplable to tracks of the wall plate. The brackets further include a rotatable securement device having a lip couplable to the bottom track of the wall plate. The securement device can be manipulated using a lever that has one end rotatably coupled to the securement device and one end distal from the securement device. The distal end extends to a position proximate to the bottom rear of a display. When manipulated in a direction towards the securement device, the lever rotates and decouples the securement device.
