Solution Overview

Problem

Existing creation tables for fusible toy beads require a large space due to the need for the table and receiver to be inverted together, limiting their use in narrow areas.

Innovation Solution

A creation table design featuring a first table with through holes for placing fusible toy beads and a second table with pins that can be inserted into and removed from these holes, allowing the tables to overlap and enabling assembly and removal of beads in a compact space.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the table and receiver are inverted together, then the fusible toy beads can be properly supported and dried, but the space required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport and drying functionVSAvoidspace requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the creation table into two separate tables: a first table for placing and supporting fusible toy beads, and a second table with pins for inverting and drying. This segmentation allows each table to perform its specific function independently, eliminating the need for a large integrated structure while maintaining reliable support and drying capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from a single-table design to a two-table vertical arrangement where the first table and second table are positioned one above the other. This dimensional change from horizontal expansion to vertical stacking reduces the overall space requirement while preserving the necessary functional area for bead placement and drying.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If the table and receiver are integrated as a single unit, then the structure is simpler, but the space consumption is excessive for narrow areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidspace requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the integrated table-receiver unit into two separate tables that can function independently. The first table handles bead placement and support, while the second table with its pin mechanism handles inverting and drying. This segmentation reduces space consumption while maintaining operational simplicity through clear functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces a dynamic pin mechanism on the second table that can be inserted into and removed from holes in the first table. This dynamic connection allows the tables to be coupled when needed for drying operations but separated when space is constrained, providing flexibility without permanent structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A creation table for fusible toy bead, includes a first table having a plurality of through holes and a second table including a plurality of pins. The first table is configured to allow a fusible toy bead to be placed on a first direction side of the plurality of through holes. The plurality of pins is allowed to be inserted into and removed from a second direction side of the plurality of through holes, respectively. The second direction side is opposite to the first direction side.
