An Dealbhadh

Mu dheidhinn Corner Pocket Gleidheadair Cailc Billeardas

'S e gleidheadair cailc maighneatach air a chaitheamh air a' chaol-dùirn a th' ann an Chalk Tyme Corner Pocket a chumas cailc an t-snàthaid ri làimh daonnan tro fhad a' chluiche. Tha taigh-còmhdach san dealbhadh a ghabhas ceangal ri iall-uaireadair àbhaisteach 20 mm sam bith, le gleidheadair cailc so-sgaraidh a cheanglas gu maighneatach air a' mhullach. Bidh dà mhaighnead neodymium a' dèanamh cinnteach gun lean e gu daingeann ach a ghabhas leigeil às gu furasta. Tha an cailc ga chumail na h-àite le suathadh agus gabhaidh a chur na àite bhon bhonn le bàrr an t-snàthaid. Bidh gleidheadairean a ghabhas atharrachadh a' toirt taic do raon de bhranndan cailc agus trast-thomhais. Gabhaidh a ghnàthachadh a thaobh stuth, crìochnachadh uachdar, agus dath, a' tabhann raon de dh'atharrachaidhean bòidhchead.

Feartan Sònraichte: Corner Pocket is an intuitive, wrist-worn magnetic billiard chalk holder designed to transform how players access and carry their chalk during a game. It accommodates various chalk shapes and offers a wide range of customization options in colors, materials, and finishes. Two strong neodymium magnets securely attach the holder to the housing, ensuring stability while allowing effortless removal by sliding the chalk holder sideways. The chalk is held in place by friction and can be easily replaced by pushing it out through a bottom opening using a cue stick. The housing is compatible with any 20 mm watch strap and features interchangeable holders to fit different chalk shapes and brands.
Tomhasan & Pacadh: Housing Dimensions: 46 x 51 x 13 mm
Chalk Holder Dimensions: 33 x 33 x 19 mm
Assembled Unit Without Straps: 46 x 51 x 28 mm
Strap Compatibility: Standard 20 mm watch strap
Tagaichean: Magnetic billiard chalk holder, wrist chalk holder, 3D-printed chalk holder, pool chalk accessory, billiard equipment, cue sports gear, magnetic pool accessory, ergonomic chalk holder, billiard accessory, watch-style chalk holder
Teicneòlas Cinneasachaidh: The design blends the aesthetics of wristwatches and pool tables, with a shape reminiscent of a watch housing and the corner pocket of a billiard table. 3D printing was chosen to allow cost-effective production without expensive tooling. Prototyping began with watch parts and magnets to refine functionality before aesthetic development. After testing various 3D printing methods, an optimal solution was chosen for cost efficiency and various color and finishing options, enabling scalable production.
Dùbhlan Dealbhaidh: The biggest challenge was designing an assembly that securely locked strong magnets in place without screws or glue while ensuring easy assembly. Extensive trial and error led to a three-part interlocking system. The second challenge was cost-effective manufacturing, requiring an in-depth exploration of CNC machining and 3D printing. The goal was to find a method that allowed multiple finishing and coloring options, enabling the creation of different product ranges, including higher-end models.
Rannsachadh: User-centered research revealed that players chalk less due to inaccessibility, affecting shot accuracy. Common waist-level holders had multiple flaws, including staining clothing and being knocked off during play. Observations and feedback highlighted the need for a wearable solution. Prototyping confirmed wrist placement as non-disruptive. SLS 3D printing was chosen for cost-efficiency, durability, and customization, enabling future product expansion and bridging sports gear with wearables.
Brosnachadh: This project was born from the desire to create an alternative, intuitive way to keep cue chalk within reach during a billiards match. Traditional chalk holders typically clip to the waist or pocket, which isn’t always convenient, especially when moving around the table or leaning over for a shot. Chalk often gets left behind, misplaced, or disrupts the rhythm of play. Corner Pocket offers a new alternative by relocating the chalk to the wrist, where it's always visible, always accessible, and never in the way. The design draws inspiration from the convenience and wearability of wristwatches, as well as the structural form of a pool table’s corner pocket.
Faid a' Phròiseict: The project started in March 2023 in Rotterdam and finished in January 2024 in Rotterdam
Sruth Obrachaidh: Worn like a watch, the holder secures the chalk by friction. Simply push it in to lock it in place. To use, the player slides the holder to the side, effortlessly disengaging it from the magnetic pull. After chalking, place it back in the housing where the magnet attracts it to its position. Chalk can be replaced by pushing it out through the bottom opening with a cue stick. Interchangeable holders allow compatibility with different chalk sizes and shapes.
