Description:
We would like to figure out an easy attachment to put on a standard Uline trash to keep at a minimum, racoons out of the can. Uline Model H-7937BL. The lid that opens 270° on molded hinges. 65 Gallon L27 x W27 x H44"Weight is 29lbs. Ideally this would fit numerous trash cans. We have seen straps, but we are looking for something that keeps it closed by just shutting the lid but will allow the can to open with the weight of the garbage inside when a truck picks it up and flips it. Let's put the weight of the garbage at min. 20lb
Wants:
We would ideally like this to be primarily made of plastic, something we could produce with an Injection Molding Machine or 3D printed. Other materials could be included (magnets as example).
Don't Wants:
We would like this to be easy to install. Ideally no tools, or minimal tools (drill, wrench).
Software:
  1. AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Catia (Latest)

Hi, for those asking for CAD drawings of the trash can/bin, we have already received submissions that were able to find that information (CAD files), to keep things fair, we won't be posting the CAD. This would be a separate product bought separately form the bin. As far as other parts (Springs and Washers), yes, but ideally a very simple solution (cost effective, easy to install, easy to manufacture/purchase). Thank you!

Any innovative design completely different from Uline Model H-7937BL allowed?

Will the part be integrated with the bin itself, or is it going to be a separate product that will be used as an additional accessory bought separately from the bin?

I have the best solution, but it also requires some metal parts for the lock mechanism. It's based on gravity locking, but the basic principle is not same as the other solutions on the market that turned out to fail against the Raccoons. We can have a deal at 10K. Let me know if you are interested.

Injected part is good option, I can develop a design concept

Also, is it possible for you to provide the 3d model of the trash can?....it can help pace up the design process.

HI toms3
thanks for the contest. Except the primary part being injection molded ; can we use springs/ washers or other hardware items to make this attachment work ?

Greetings, I viewed the dimensions of the top of the Uline Model H-7937BL but need the exact shape and dimension because the edges are rounded/filleted.

"Rock-a-Bye Innovator: The CAD Design Challenge for a Revolutionary Baby Soothing Device"
We are excited to announce a CAD design competition for a groundbreaking product concept aimed at enhancing the sleep and comfort of infants. The core idea revolves around a device designed to gently sway a baby stroller back and forth, covering a distance of approximately 70 centimeters, to soothe the baby to sleep. The device, inspired by the mechanism of a hoverboard, will be placed beneath the front wheels of the stroller. It features an engine at its heart, equipped with a gear in the middle. Below the engine, there will be a wheel driven by the engine itself. On either side of the device, adjustable arms will extend to accommodate various sizes of baby strollers. At the ends of these arms, wheels will move by the inertia generated from the central wheel located under the engine. Above these, there will be channels or grooves lined with rubber, where the stroller's wheels will be placed. The rubber will secure the stroller's wheels in place, ensuring stability during the swaying motion. The design of this device must not only be functional but also visually appealing and user-friendly, encapsulating a sleek and sexy aesthetic. This competition invites all creative minds to bring this concept to life, focusing on innovation, ease of use, and overall design elegance. Participants are encouraged to push the boundaries of traditional baby product design to create a solution that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, providing parents with a new way to comfort their infants and enhance their sleep experience.
auto-tuning radio
I have a provisional patent and am looking for help to make a prototype. The device should have two digital tuners controlled by a computer, each capable of receiving digital radio signal and digital ID co-broadcasted by radio stations. The computer uses one tuner to scan radio frequencies and sorts available radio signals based on station name, program genre, and music group. This device should be able to find a radio station based on station name rather than by frequency. Some national radio stations such as Public Radio broadcast on multiple frequencies on overlapping terrains. In a moving vehicle, when the signal deteriorates on one frequency, this device should be able to use the second tuner to scan for better signal and achieve seamless transition from one frequency to another without interrupting the program by switching the roles of the two tuners.
Server 3D Explosion
I need to have a server created to match an existing piece of art, which is an exploded touch screen. Unfortunately the designer is no longer available who created the exploded touch screen. The design should match the look at feel as much as possible and use the same colors and style to show an exploded 1U server.
Mobile Tool Cart
New model of mobile tool cart which may cross industries such as manufacturing shop floor, motorsports, hospital maintenance etc. Consider using the maximum volume of the footprint for storage. See attachment for list of must have and nice to have as well as an example of what we build today.
