One-Way Valve Redesign
Exploration Solution
The objective is to design a one-way valve that pushes the glue sticks The second valve with the rounded teeth is chosen for specific reasons
inward and slide back out without pulling back the glue sticks.
The following 3D models shows the designs of the valve’s teeths
Front View
Angle View
Pulling Back Out Feature
Pulling the glue stick back out is possible the rounded teeth as contrast
with the third valve design which have a hook like teeth facing inward
which is effective when pushing the sticks in but may be broken is the user
Cross Section View pull out the sticks by force.
Easier Production
As compare to the first valve design, the second one has only four teeth
which is more unlikely to cause any production error.
