Production Technology: Lid & Stopper:Food-grade PP; Tumbler:Food-grade Stainless Steel
Design Challenge: As a car-mounted tumbler, achieving a perfect balance between spill-proof functionality and effortless opening is paramount. Drawing inspiration from the reliable wall switch structure, we skillfully integrated a magnetic closure mechanism into the lid design. This innovative approach enables users to effortlessly open and close the lid, just like flipping a light switch, while providing clear visibility of its open or closed status. To address food safety concerns, we employed a precise spin-welding technique to securely fuse the two magnet-containing components, ensuring exceptional stability and water-tightness. Furthermore, the magnetic structure facilitates easy disassembly, allowing users to thoroughly clean every corner of the cup for impeccable hygiene.
Research: Research has shown that drinking water while driving increases the risk of accidents. This is because when drivers focus on drinking, their attention becomes divided, leading to a decrease in their awareness of the road and surrounding environment, making it difficult for them to timely perceive and respond to sudden situations. Additionally, the act of picking up and putting down a water cup may cause the driver's hands to leave the steering wheel, reducing their ability to control the vehicle. This can be dangerous when quick reactions and precise operations are required in emergency situations.The design of TADA tumbler revolves around enhancing the drinking experience, and the development process includes conceptual and formal research, 3D modeling, physical mock-ups, and prototyping.
Inspiration: With the increase in the number of vehicles, more drivers are drinking beverages inside. Furthermore, environmental issues such as ocean pollution caused by disposable containers are threatening wildlife and human health. In this context, we have developed the TADA tumbler.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2022 and finished in March 2023 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: With one-handed operation, users can safely access their drink while keeping their other hand free for driving. The spill-proof lid ensures worry-free mobility, preventing spills and leaks. The TADA tumbler enhances the driving experience, allowing users to enjoy their drinks while reducing their carbon footprint. It promotes the use of reusable cups and sustainability in everyday life.
