Hello Team 03, In this post, we want to provide you with the most detailed information about the refined design. Fig. 1: General sketch This idea is is made of plastic and is structured by 3 different main components. Start by the base; as we can see, it is a cylinder with a vertical stick extruded from its center. This base is designed so that the user can hold that part and rotate the entire object from this point so the user is able to access all the spices. The stick that sticks out of this base has a “male-female” mechanism so that it can be joined with the next piece. The piece that follows is made of transparent plastic and is shaped like a prism but ends in a point (in the center of the base), from this piece stands out the dispenser that we have previously explained how it worked. Above this last part we have a dome that makes it easy to open and close to fill the spices, also made of transparent plastic. Fig 2: Perpective view with materials In Fig. 2, the design can be observed in greater detail and from a broader perspective. The dimensions are shown in Fig. 1: the base is a cylinder with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 100 mm. The rod extending from the base measures 150 mm in total. Additionally, the top diameter of the product measures 200 mm. These dimensions serve as a guideline for your physical product, and you can modify and adapt them as you see fit. Regarding the materials, they are detailed in Fig. 2. Both the base and the rod, as well as the handle and the dispensing mechanism, are made of opaque plastic. However, the dome and the separators are made of transparent plastic. Fig. 3: Detailed view of the male-female mechanism In Fig. 3, the joining mechanism between the rod and the separator is shown in detail. This mechanism is called the "male-female mechanism," and in our design, the rod represents the male component, as it features a triangular protrusion that fits into the separator's corresponding part. Fig. 4: View of the separator showing the dispenser. In Fig. 4, we see the separator and the dispenser mechanism from a perspective view. This figure is not to scale, so the connection part with the base rod appears much larger than it actually is. Fig. 5: Detailed view of the dispenser. In Fig. 5, a detailed view of the dispenser mechanism is shown. The mechanism is designed such that the horizontal cylinder is embedded into the part where the spices are stored. Inside the mechanism, there is an "L"-shaped piece. When pressed downward to access the spices, the inner part moves upward, opening the hole from which the spices are dispensed. Addressing your question regarding grain size, we believe it’s best for you to determine what works best for your design. From our perspective, this mechanism could accommodate different sizes, allowing…

Hello, first of all I wanted to apologize for the delay, I am going to present my different concepts. FIRST SKETCH Fig. 1: Sketch 1 This concept is a spice dispenser. It is made using a metal sheet and we have two formats: the base, and on top of it, more are stacked on top as we can see in the figure above. As we see in figure 1, each piece has a part that extrudes at the bottom so that it can engage with the upper part of another piece. The shape that it has is designed to make it easy to fill the dispenser with spices and so that it has a small inertia and this makes the spice come out without a problem. The spices are filled through the top lid that slides along rails. The lid slides until it reaches the horizontal area of ​​the object. The dispenser mechanism is inspired by the water bottles seen on the right of figure 1. It is a very simple mechanism that works this way: it is closed all the time, but if we press down on the part that comes out from the piece, this piece is attached to another part inside in such a way that at the same time it would rise and could let out the amount that the user desires.It is an option that for adults has no complications in operation. SECOND SKETCH Fig 2: Sketch 2 This idea is more focused on aesthetic design rather than functional design. It is made of plastic and is structured by 3 different main components. We start at the base; as we can see, it is a cylinder with a vertical stick extruded from its center. This base is designed so that the user can hold that part and rotate the entire object from this point so the user is able to access all the spices. The stick that sticks out of this base has a "male-female" mechanism so that it can be joined with the next piece. The piece that follows is made of transparent plastic and is shaped like a prism but ends in a point (in the center of the base), from this piece stands out the dispenser that we have previously explained how it worked. Above this last part we have a dome that makes it easy to open and close to fill the spices, also made of transparent plastic. THIRD SKECTH Fig 3: Sketch 3 In this last design we can see a "set of boxes" that are made of metal sheets. This object is created by three different sizes of boxes and they are interconnected with rails. How it works is, we have a lid that, through small hinges, is raised up to 90º as we can see in figure 3. We can see that at the height of the lid, we have a part that holds a spoon with which the user will ration. the amount of spices you want.…
