Contest Ended, Winner(s) have been selected.
Description:
Description:Problem - Going to the beach and trying to eat and fix lunches or snacks without getting sand in your food and drinks is a never ending challenge for beachgoers. And when you put kids in the mix, it doubles and triples your chances of a sand-filled experience. There are currently no products on the market today that mimic a solid foundation.
* Either you are dragging a fold up table or laying down a towel or trying to do it all on top of your cooler lid.
* You cannot sit your chairs on your towels or a tarp as they end up pushing sand onto the towel/tarp and or tearing them.
Solution - A foldable hard surface that can be carried by one person
*Would need to fit to a standard 10x10 pop up tent and include some type of loops or straps for connecting to the legs (If a tent is larger, that is fine as the weight should keep it from blowing away. Or, could include 4 stakes)
*Would want a way that it unfolds to have a whole in the center that would be large enough to allow for a Beach Umbrella Anchor to fit through it. (Example: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71bMza2sNfL._SL1500_.jpg) .
*By doing this, you allow for a customer to use it either with an umbrella, a tent or with no shade cover.
*Should include a nice bag carrying cover with handles.
Material considerations:
* This should be made of a hard plastic like material. Metal will be too heavy and cloth-like material found on tumbling mats will potentially tear unless we could source something that has proven durability and will not cave with weight.
*The material should be considered for printing of logos or branding (Sports teams, Company logos/names, etc.)
Wants:
Evaluation Criteria:We will consider a winning design based on achieving the goals of solving the basic problem as stated above.
We will look for designs that add any new ideas that improve on the experience for the consumer.
We will look for the design to be clean and simple to assemble with minimal steps.
Anything that has a complex process for a consumer beyond four steps will not be considered.
Consideration for costs to mass produce will be a factor, but will be more of a bonus vs the other criteria stated above.
The winner of the design project will be selected for follow on work such as 3D animation for marketing, actual CAD specific documents for manufacturing, etc.
Don't Wants:
I don't need full scale CAD drawings for commercial use yet. If you want to, you can, but looking for design concepts at this point for use in Proof of Concept with consumers. Winner will be given the follow on work to design the final materials.

#6 High Density foam beach floor
by Dan Bright
My design uses interlocking high density foam mats to establish a rigid surface. Users need only to level the surface below the mat and interlock the pieces. These mats are already being produced for other uses but not the beach setting. With a little re branding and minor modification of holes for umbrellas and stakes, This design is light weight and infinitely expandable.

#18 beach floor with umbrella stand
by kunal asawara593
its a beach floor made by plastic and the lower side is made by rubber the dimensions of the floor, handle, stand and all the other parts is not practical they are only used for a reference you can change it according to the requirement so I mainly focused on the design part
there is an umbrella stand at the center of this floor
the floor can be foldable into 1/4 of its total area so it can be easily Convertable and there is also some area for loops or straps I didn't add loops or straps into it because it is not possible to make anything like loops or straps in Solidworks so it can be easily added I left some space for it

#29 Beach Floor Assembly
by Kevin Chamberlain
My design comprises of only four parts that can be easily assembled on the beach. These four parts can be packed away into a carry bag that is less than 20mm thick. The size, shape, design features and color of the product can easily be finalised before production takes place by making simple changes to the design drawings.
The size of my product is 1200 x 1200mm.

#16 Beach Floor
by DABShepherd
Good Day
My design in a very simple fold out table that can be scales to suit any side required for production via injection molding. The table can ether be unfolded completely to create a suitable table for preparing food or drink without the risk of getting sand in everything or if you simply keep the legs folded, the surface can be used to place a chair or blanket onto.
The design can very easily be adjusted to have a hole in the middle for an umbrella stand to be placed into. If you are interested in having something to weigh down the table, it is possible to ass small "sand bags" to the bottom of the legs which will then have a zip at the bottom in order to easily release the sand when you want to leave.
The hinges I have made larger on this concept in order to show how the connections will be made, in reality the hinges will be much smaller, making the design light and easy to fold and pack into the accompanying sleeve.
Injection molding is an affordable production process as well as the plastic being light for any person to be able to carry it onto the beach with ease.
Thank you for this opportunity.

#5 beach floor with collapsable hinges.
by Abid Yusuf
Hi, So this is a raw concept that I wanted to put in front of you. I would request a feedback from your side in regard to the direction I have taken towards the design of the beach floor. If you think that my concept is up to the mark then I can carry out the detailing and provide rendered images with more beach accessories. One thing more, what king of tent are you looking towards? A canopy tent or the ones which you nail down in the sand or do you want to incorporate a universal solution. Thank You, I will start working further as soon as I get your feedback.

this type of design makes the table portable by a single human. also this is supported by a sigle leg which looks unique and simple.
the screws at the leg provides a better grip in beach sand, use the arm legs for more stability.
also this table can be splited and foldable which increase portability.

Hello Mark G.
thanks for your feedback, i sent a new entry describing your product more clearly.
but already advance the customer will not need to assemble anything, the product will already be assembled from the factory, only need to unroll the product from the packaging.
thanks for listening.
Awaiting feedback.
Bruno, I am a bit confused on the PDF. It looks like several parts, but then the description says it would be one piece rolled up. Can you help me better understand this last revision?
@rednom, I appreciate your feedback. But we have 18 designs that have been provided with great designs based off the direction in the scope. The focus is the floor. and of course sand will blow into things. It is a beach. This is about having something at the next level vs. a bunch of beach towels strung together. Thanks and you are welcome to submit your design for consideration.
*Sand into food
I have a question regarding the practicality of this hard surface. You say the purpose of it is to prevent sand from entering food and drinks. How does a hard surface prevent sand from entering food? Even with a hard surface, the wind still blows food into your food. You might say a tent solves the wind issue. But then, a tent by itself with a mat would do the trick. Please make the objective more clear. It makes more sense to design food and drink containers which prevent sand from entering (when open) as per your problem description. Or, if you are fixated on the hard surface design, it would make more sense to change the problem you are tackling (say, a stable area for a family picnic at the beach)
@coldmonk, per the description, yes, it needs to be hard enough for someone to sit on it, put a potential chair or cooler on it and yes it needs to be able to fit a 10x10 beach tent with poles over it and somehow strap or be secured. so, maybe notched corners with straps or something like that.
Hey CH, so you want a hard, durable, portable floor,right? If so then how big, 10'*10' of some other dimension would do.
Please see the attached image of the umbrella stand. Thanks and sorry all.

Re-Design Pool Pump Housing
We are looking to make the outside of our pool pump more aesthetically pleasing by adding our logo, color and design elements to the outside pump housing. We could go with a more rounded look to the pump vs. the straight line look. We do need to use the same lid which is used on our current design so the area where the lid attaches needs to be unchanged, the same will go for the area where the motor attaches to the pump housing. Integrate our Logo and Orange and Blue Colors into housing.

Breathing aid for saxophone
I have an Idea for a product which teaches beginning students to correctly insert the sax mouthpiece while playing and maintain proper breathing technique. The basis for this device is an incentive spirometer, which is already often used by wind instrument players.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ItJhrfJJrm8
This company has the same concept as me. I would like to take that concept and put it in a more compact and aesthetically pleasing device. The device will be made of hard plastic. Anything instrument related incorporated into the desighn will be nice.
I will provide pictures of my BASIC desighn idea. I would like for the desighner to play around with the shape and form. But the elevated angle where the mouthpiece is inserted MUST be incorporated to allow the user to be able to blow and also view the ball. Also, the tiny built in ledge on the top front of the mouthpiece must also be incorporated as it will force the student to put the correct amount of mouthpiece in his or her mouth.
Phone Case with some mechanics
The case needs to be a functional case with two tracks:
BASIC IDEA MODEL LOCATED BELOW (non-proportionate)
The phone measures 123.8mm x 58.6 mm x 7.6mm
The phone is an iPhone 5s
The screen which is inches measured 4 inches diagonally must be unlocked on BOTH sides of the case i.e. (if I was to talk the phone out and flip it in the other side of the case the screen wouldn't be covered).
The side where the power button is should have nothing on to of it.
the tracks need to be 4 inches long with a 3 inch track inside the 4 inch track (Radio antenna idea).
The tracks need to be hinged so that they can both stand up 90 degrees of the case and lay flat (it's okay if they cover the back open area).
there needs to be a wheel inside the track that moves up and down the track vertically
the wheel needs to connect outside somehow (like below)
the wheel needs to follow the track to the bottom of the platform where the wheel will sit so that the hinged track does not hold the wheel when it lays down.
any futuristic or modern design is accepted, however creative aspects are totally left to you as long as the design is functional.
