Device workstations with multi-way leveling adjustability, arcuate base, and accessory attachment features
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional device workstations lack multi-way leveling adjustability, arcuate base design, and accessory attachment features, limiting their ability to be positioned comfortably near furniture and independently adjust laptop and mouse surfaces.
Innovation Solution
A device workstation with an arcuate base, multi-axis rotatable support surfaces, telescoping sections, retractable device stops, and accessory attachment options, allowing for independent leveling and positioning of laptop and mouse surfaces, as well as attachment of mobile devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional workstation bases are constructed with fixed geometry, then manufacturing is simple, but the workstation cannot abut furniture corners or be positioned flexibly near furniture
Solution Approach 1:
The base incorporates an arcuate side with a 90 degree angle between distal ends of base legs, creating a curved geometry that enables the workstation to abut furniture corners effectively while maintaining positioning flexibility
2Ease of operation
If conventional workstations have fixed support surfaces, then structure is simple, but laptop and mouse surfaces cannot be leveled independently
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is divided into separate device support surface and auxiliary support surface, each capable of independent rotation about different axes, allowing independent leveling of laptop and mouse surfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The support surfaces incorporate rotational mechanisms about multiple axes, transforming static support surfaces into dynamically adjustable surfaces that can be leveled independently according to user needs
3Ease of operation
If conventional workstations lack multi-axis rotation, then structure is simple, but surfaces cannot be positioned at optimal angles for user comfort
Solution Approach 1:
The device support surface rotates about a first axis while the auxiliary support surface rotates about a second axis parallel to the first, adding rotational freedom in multiple dimensions to achieve optimal positioning angles
