Support Structure for a Slidable Display - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17794822 titled 'Support Structure for a Slidable Display
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a support structure for a slidable display that can move along a sliding axis and rotate around a perpendicular rotation axis. Here are the key points:
- The support structure is designed to slide along a first axis and has at least two rotation arrangements.
- Each rotation arrangement is fixed along the sliding axis and can rotate around a perpendicular rotation axis.
- The rotation arrangements are connected to support elements of the support structure, allowing them to rotate at the same speed as the sliding motion.
- The tangential speed of rotation is equal to the speed at which the support structure moves along the sliding axis.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Slidable displays in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
- Adjustable screens in automotive infotainment systems or navigation displays.
- Sliding and rotating screens in industrial control panels or machinery interfaces.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Allows for flexible positioning and adjustment of displays, enhancing user experience and ergonomics.
- Enables the use of larger screens in devices with limited space.
- Provides a mechanism for multi-angle viewing or sharing of content.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved versatility and adjustability of displays.
- Enhanced user comfort and convenience.
- Increased screen size options without compromising device size or portability.
Original Abstract Submitted
A support structure for a slidable display comprises a support arrangement configured to slide along a first sliding axis and at least two rotation arrangements. Each rotation arrangement is fixedly arranged along the first sliding axis and configured to rotate around a rotation axis extending substantially perpendicular to the first sliding axis. Furthermore, each rotation arrangement is releasably interconnected to at least one support element of the support arrangement such that each of the at least two rotation arrangements rotates around the rotation axis with a tangential speed equal to a speed with which the support arrangement moves along the first sliding axis.
