A two part clip that connects swimming pool covers to the reels that pull them in
Suitable for a range of materials up to 6mm thick
Injection moulded to complement the existing production line
Simple to attach and designed to never let go
Plastica was using two off-the-shelf products that had to be joined together to provide the swimming pool cover grip that their customers needed.
They came to us to provide a more elegant solution.
They wanted a grip made from injection moulded plastic that would be easy to fit (no tools requited) and nigh on impossible to get off. It had to grip a range of materials varying from 1mm to 6mm with the ferocity and bite of a piranha.
We set to work providing concepts and 3D printed prototypes. The chosen solution we called ‘the wedge’ before it became christened the Piranha.
Just one pull on the connecting cord and it grips the pool cover super tight. As we further developed the product it became curved rather than straight as this enabled it to fit around the cover reel more effectively.
