Description:

We are looking for a locking mechanism for our upcoming product that is simple and minimalistic, yet very robust in how it locks the two pieces together. When locked there will be lateral stresses forcing the pieces to slide apart. We want there to be virtually no chance of the pieces coming apart by accident while locked, and the mechanism must be simple and intuitive.

Items that must reamin the same are the length and width of the objects. Enjoy full freedom to change the trapizod shape.

Please refer to attached images for some of our previous ideas. These are simplistic, but they are either not aestheticly pleasing or they do not provide a reliable lock while the product is in use.

We have uploaded 4 different file types because we wern't sure what your preference would be. Please also take a look at the attached images to see the other mecanisms that we have designed thus far. These are the ones that we like for simplicity and minimalism sake but they are not the most effective or intuitive.

Wants:

Simplicity, minimalism, effectiveness of lock, intuitive design

Don't Wants:

Ideally, the mechanism would be internal or along the long edge of the pieces. We are not looking for something with various other pieces that will be needed to be manufactured.

Software:

Autodesk Fusion 360

Howdy, Everyone! We would like to thank each of y&

;all for your work in helping us to design the best possible locking mechanism for our product! There were some incredible designs that really were innovative, minimalistic, and simplistic. We would like to congratulate RBL Designs on being chosen as the winner and for his help along the way!

Thanks again and be on the lookout for future contests from us!

So you want to design an attaching system to join different brush heads to a common handle. Also could you please tell if the brush+handle device will be manually operated or by a machine. Also tell what are you going to apply with the brush, whether a powder/oil/paint etc. Thank you.

you left a space between the handle and your locking mechanism
must this area be free?

Yes The pieces will need to be locked and unlocked multiple times per day

Yes it will be injection molded

Is it plastic injected part?

Saif

Fri, 15 Dec 2017 10:44:59 +0000

does it have a lot of going in and out?
or you want to make the part in its place for a long time or for product life

How does the head detach once it&

Howdy guys,
So we do not have a hard number or unit for the force applied that it needs to withstand. With that being said, this is a paint brush head, so think of the force that is applied to a paintbrush while you are holding it at an angle. We want it to obviously be able to withstand that force with possibly a safety factor of around 3 or 4, just to ensure that there is no possible way whatsoever that the brush will accidentally pop out of place while painting. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

It would also be most helpful to attach a basic sketch of the forces directions. There are to be 2 things to consider, the force required to attach and disconnect the 2 pieces together, but also the eventual force or stress when using the assembled tool. We can design an attachment that fits the first set of force but that might not be appropriate for the second set of forces/stress when the tool is being used. We also need that to consider mechanical clearance between the 2 parts. Thanks.

It would be really helpful if you attached a similar product to the one you want. just so we don&

;t get lost.

Howdy All,

The product is a painting tool and will be made of injection molded plastic, so the forces shouldn&

;t be that great. Honestly, I&

;m not completely sure what they&

;ll be, but lets just say that its somewhere around 5-7 pounds at its maximin that will be trying to force the pieces apart.I&

;m working on verifying payment. Sorry for the holdup on that.

Thanks!

But, as optibild said we need its application and forces involved to solve it better.

What is the force applied in the lock position that could cause this lock to open unexpectedly?
