Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional writing boards are typically mounted flat against a wall, limiting visibility to only those directly in front of the board, as they do not allow for adjustable angles of display.

Innovation Solution

A wall-mounted display board system incorporating a hinge system and base casters that enable vertical pivoting and shifting, allowing the board to be adjusted relative to the wall for improved visibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the writing board is permanently secured flat against the wall, then the mounting structure is simple and stable, but the visibility is limited to only those directly in front of the board

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevisibility angleVSAvoidmounting structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The writing board is transformed from a fixed static mounting to a dynamic adjustable mounting using a hinge system. The hinge allows the board to pivot between a flat position against the wall and an angled position, enabling users to adjust the visibility angle according to their needs while maintaining a relatively simple mounting structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system is divided into separate components: a wall-mounted bracket, a hinge mechanism, and the writing board itself. This segmentation allows the board to be independently adjusted relative to the wall while keeping the wall mounting structure simple and stable.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the writing board is mounted rigidly against the wall, then the mounting is stable, but it cannot accommodate uneven wall surfaces

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesurface accommodationVSAvoidmounting stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The hinge system provides dynamic adjustment capability that allows the writing board to adapt to uneven wall surfaces. By pivoting the board at different angles, users can compensate for wall irregularities while maintaining stable viewing positions, thus accommodating surface variations without compromising overall mounting stability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the writing board allows for angle adjustment, then visibility for wider audience is improved, but the mounting structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay angle adjustmentVSAvoidhinge and caster mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A hinge mechanism is introduced to enable dynamic angle adjustment of the writing board. This allows the board to pivot between flat and angled positions, improving visibility for wider audiences while maintaining a relatively simple and elegant mounting structure that does not require complex adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A wall mounted display board system includes a frame; a hinging system to mount on a wall surface and engage with the frame; a panel mounted on a front of the frame; and a castor mounted on a bottom portion of the frame to rest on a ground surface; the hinging system allows the frame and panel to pivot; and pivoting of the hinging system and the frame moves the castor along the ground surface.
