The problem that I have decided to tackle is that of dishware, specifically cups, being knocked over either by one’s self or their pet. This seems to be a major problem, whether it’s a cup on the living room table or your bedside table. We’ve all made that clumsy mistake in the middle of the night; reaching over to grab your cup and take a sip of water in the dark, but knocking it over instead, leaving your table, floor, and whatever belongings you had on that table in danger of being soaked. Seeing as many people keep expensive electronics next to their bed, this problem can cost an individual a lot of money.
My solution to this problem is the suction koozie: an air pressure activated suction cup that allows you to squeeze the koozie to release pressure and place it on the table, where it will then be stuck. And then to re-squeeze the side of the koozie to release the pressure and pick it back up. This can easily be made into a thermal koozie as well to help maintain preferred temperature. If this koozie can be made adjustable to fit multiple circumferences, it would have an even wider use, as it would fit cans, bottles, and the cups we find in our kitchen.
Overall, this idea aims to solve the problem of the spilled cup, whether your animal is walking near it and swipes it off the table, or if the fault is your own. The Suction-Koozie will be there to prevent it with just a simple squeeze to seal and squeeze to release action.
Suction koozie? Sounds like an interesting idea to prevent spills. I'm glad you found a way to make it a multiple-purpose type of item. You have clearly thought through how the product would work and how it should look. You sound like you're fully prepared to market and advertise for the product as well, which is awesome. I think the idea is good, and is something I could definitely see on shelves in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi Max,
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a popular idea among a lot of people. I like that you solved the issue of temperature drinks as well. My only concern would be if the suction would leave any marks or smudges? Our glass tables get smudged so easily that I feel this would only be effective for wood or other materials.
hello maxwell, again i love this idea i think it is really solving an major inconvenience for clumsy people or just those with animals. however it does raise a problem if there would need to be a child lock seeing as it may be played with by a 2 year old simply walking by the table. just something to think about my guy.
ReplyDeleteMax,
ReplyDeleteI think that this could prove very effective and adds many more people to your market! If you were to make it pet specific, people without pets or without inside animals may not be interested. If you make it specifically for children, adults would not be as interested, and some may not be interested at all. However, by making it more broad focused, you are making it something that anyone can find a use for. Great idea in my mind.
