About Keyt 益智玩具

Keyt 是一款簡單的玩具，有趣且令人興奮的活動，其靈感來自鎖和鑰匙。通過轉動鑰匙和鎖內的環以及它們之間產生的配合，鑰匙穿過鎖內的所有環並放置在鎖內，並且從鎖中拔出鑰匙時也執行該過程。將鑰匙放在鎖中可以提高兒童的注意力並有助於眼手協調。

Design Challenge: How to get the key into the lock and challenge these steps was an important part of designing this product. Keeping the rings inside the body was an important design challenge because At first the rings inside the lock were get out, But in the end, by creating curvature in the bars and placing 4 bars around, the rings were prevented from coming out.
Research: The goals of this product are to entertain children together and to create a competitive and collective environment. That is, putting the key inside the lock can be timed and competitive and enhances the excitement of the game. A lot of tests and implementations were made to get the best results. An initial replica of the product was made and potential flaws were identified. At first the rings inside the lock were get out, but the rings were restrained by changing the shape of the 4 bars around the lock. The key`s teeth are all the same, but by rotating them on the key body they have been challenged to cross the rings.
Inspiration: "Keyt" is inspired by a lock and key. In fact, the lock does not open or close, but the key is placed inside the lock by performing steps. This can increase focus in children and help with eye-hand coordination.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2020 and end in May 2020 in Esfarayen City .

These steps are also taken to remove the key. This operation can be done on both sides of the body. This process can be done competitively and within the specified time.
