ISP

Innovative Storage Panel

Storing tools in your private home

by Hernando Pinzon and Ashlyn Lee

Wintersemester 2012/13 Produkt Gestaltung V Betreuer: Annke Osthues

Tool storage made better The ISP is an innovation in tool storage design. Designed to showcase your tools, the ISP proudly hangs on your wall, turning your usually hidden tools into something that can be admired.

With its simple and easy access design, ISP is the better way to store and access your tools around the home.

Why is it different?

The ISP has been designed to allow the user to customise their own panel.

Each pin mechanism has been designed to give the user the option of designing their ISP panel to best fit and display their tools and once the placement has been arranged, the included locking mechanism ensures that each pin remains fixed when accessing tools.

The ISP allows this personal customisation whilst still retaining the aesthetic appeal of an item that can be displayed within a home environment.

Pins The pins allow the user to hang their tools on their ISP in their desired manner.

Each pin has a thin rubber coating around the end as an extra grip when holding the tools.

The pin is held within a casing, which acts as a sliding and locking mechanism.

Pin and Locking Mechanism Surrounding each pin is a locking mechamism that allows the user to define where they wish to place their tools.

A simple twist moves the end of the pin into the corresponding rail, creating a tight fit and locking the whole mechanism in place. This mechanism ensures that the pin does not move when accessing tools.

Rails As aforementioned, the pin and locking mechanism sits and slides along one of many aluminium rails. The user can designate how many pins they wish to have on each rail and can lock them into place using the locking mechanism.

When the pin has been twisted to a ‘locked’ position, the tail end of the pin is inserted into the back end and the tight fit locks the pin in places using friction.

Frame To ensure a finished design, the ends of the panel have been covered with a frame.

Each side has a frame that acts as a cap.

The extruded pieces neatly fit into each rail, covering the raw edge and ensuring a tight fit.

When the user wishes to add or remove pins, they simply need to remove the frame to gain access to the rails.

Wall Mount As an added feature, an angled wall mount has been added to the back of the ISP, This angle can be adjusted by the user depending on the user’s desired surrounding. The wall mount also ensures easy assembly onto the wall of the user’s home.
