Whether you are a person with small strength or strong hands, you must have had the experience of having a plastic bottle cap that is too tight and difficult to open. Sometimes it is due to sweat or oil stains on your hands, which also makes plastic bottle caps difficult to open. The bottle cap is quite difficult to open. Even if my hand turns red, the bottle cap remains still. Injoon Yang, a designer from South Korea, was inspired by the scene when his grandmother took out soda from the refrigerator but had a hard time opening the bottle cap. He designed a bottle cap cover to make it easier to open the bottle cap.
The device that directly fits the original bottle cap is named "Sodavalve (steering wheel type) / Sodatab (faucet type)". I believe everyone has seen that in some movies with large ships as scenes, the actors quickly The picture of twisting the steering wheel-like valve of a ships cabin door or pipeline to open a heavy cabin door or outlet valve. This Sodavalve refers to the design of the door valve rotary switch and uses the lever principle of the wheel axle to lengthen the force arm to achieve the desired effect. The same force or even less force can open the bottle cap.
In addition to the round steering wheel-like valve switch appearance, the designer also designed a faucet-style switch knob, which provides a variety of color options. Below it is a cover that can be put on the bottle cap. Then the straight groove inside will be stuck with the straight strip on the outer ring of the bottle cap, and then you can hold the bracket or the twist handle to open the bottle cap just like turning on a faucet switch.
In addition to the function of opening the bottle cap, the design of the rotary switch can also be used directly as a handle to directly carry the plastic bottle away, which not only saves effort in opening, but also increases the convenience of carrying the bottle.
Even after the plastic bottle is used, it can be used as a tripod. Cut out the upper half of the bottle and turn it upside down to use it as a water cup. However, you should also pay attention to the sharpness of the cutting edge during use! Effort-saving design The "Sodavalve" bottle cap switch is not only humorous and cute in appearance, but also makes it easier for girls and older people to open the bottle cap! The sodavalve/sodatab in the indiegogo fundraising are priced at $10 / $9 US dollars respectively. .
