About Puli Chupa Salama ya Vidonge

Puli ni chupa salama ya vidonge yenye mfumo wa kufunga kwa vifuniko viwili. Kifuniko cha nje kimeunganishwa na kifuniko cha ndani kwa njia za mishale. Katika hali ya awali, kifuniko cha nje huzunguka kwa uhuru huku kifuniko cha ndani kikibaki kimya. Mtu mzima anaweza kuvuta kifuniko cha nje ili sehemu zilizojitokeza na zile zilizobonyea zishikamane vifuniko viwili, ambavyo kisha huzunguka pamoja kufungua chupa. Watoto huona ni vigumu kuvuta kifuniko cha nje kwa sababu njia ni nyembamba, hivyo yaliyomo hubaki yamelindwa. Umbo lake tambarare hukumbusha chupa ya kibindo, huashiria kitendo cha kuvuta na ni rahisi kubeba. Puli imetengenezwa kwa HDPE kwa njia ya kupiga chapa kwa kudunga.

Unique Properties: Puli is a double-cap safety pill bottle. The outer cap is connected to the inner
cap by tracks. In initial status, the outer cap can be rotated freely while the inner cap will not move. For adult, by pushing the outer cap, two caps will engage by the protrusion and depressions and can be rotated synchronously to open the bottle. For children, it is difficult for them to push the outer cap due to the narrower channel design, thus making the bottle safe.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 80mm x Depth 35mm x Height 98 mm
Tags: Safety, Medicine, Bottle, Children
Production Technology: Injection molding（HDPE）
Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design activity is to find the most suitable material and thickness of the outer cap. These factors decide whether it is difficult for children to pull the outer cap to open the bottle but not that difficult for parents.
Inspiration: Most existing safety pill bottles can be opened by experienced children. Therefore, a new bottle structure is needed. Structurally, Puli was inspired by the screwing process. Children may not have enough insight and strength to open the bottle. In appearance, it is inspired by the hip flask. It uses a flat bottle body, which not only gives users a hint to push and pull, but also is easy to carry.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2019 and finished in February in China
Operation Flow: When the bottle is not open, the inner cap and the bottle body are connected by a conventional thread and the outer cap and inner cap are not engaged. If children try to rotate the outer cap to open it, the outer cap just spins but the inner cap will not move. When parents want to open the bottle, the first step is to pull outer cap so the two caps will engage with each other by protrusion and depressions. The next step is to rotate the outer cap so the inner cap can be rotated together to open the bottle.
