Fusible Bead Creation Table With Communicating Holes for Design Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing creation tables for fusible toy beads make it difficult to accurately place beads according to a design due to through holes being separated, obstructing visibility of the underlying design on the sheet.
Innovation Solution
A creation table design featuring through holes that communicate with each other via radial grooves, allowing clear visibility of the underlying design and enabling easy placement of beads, combined with a hinge mechanism for stability and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If through holes are formed separately in the table, then fusible toy beads can be placed on the table, but visibility of the design on the sheet is obstructed in areas where through holes are not formed
Solution Approach 1:
The through holes are segmented into groups where adjacent holes communicate with each other through radial grooves. This segmentation allows light to pass through multiple adjacent holes, creating continuous visible areas that reveal the underlying design while maintaining precise bead placement positions.
Solution Approach 2:
Radial grooves act as intermediaries connecting adjacent through holes. These grooves allow light to pass between holes, serving as a mediator that reveals the design on the sheet while the holes themselves maintain their function for precise bead placement.
2Ease of operation
If through holes are formed to allow bead placement, then beads can be arranged according to design, but the separated holes make it difficult to see the underlying design sheet
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the through holes into communicating groups with radial grooves, the system maintains discrete placement positions while creating continuous visual pathways that reveal the design, thus improving ease of operation without sacrificing visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The radial grooves add a dimensional connection between adjacent holes, creating a two-dimensional network of communicating holes that allows light to pass through multiple levels, thereby revealing the design while maintaining placement functionality.

AI summary
A creation table for fusible toy bead includes: a first table having a plurality of through holes extending in a penetrating direction and configured to allow fusible toy beads; and a second table including: a plurality of pins configured to be inserted into and removed from the plurality of through holes; and a sheet holding portion configured to hold a sheet. The plurality of through holes include at least one through hole group, and each of the at least one through hole group has two or more through holes. The first table has a communication groove penetrating through the first table in the penetrating direction such that adjacent through holes contained in each of the at least one through hole group communicate with each other in a radial direction of the adjacent through holes.
