The Bucket Just Got Better

wathield_01

Ever tried to fill a big bucket in a tiny sink? If so, you know that it’s impossible to use the bucket’s full capacity because of the tilt. Even worse, if the sink is too small, you might not be able to fill it at all. Designed with these issues in mind, the WATHIELD bucket aims to make this everyday task much easier.

Shaped like a traditional bucket, it sports an additional feature in the form of an extended lip that funnels water into the bucket with ease. Better yet, it can be tucked away when it’s not being used. Simply unfold the lip and run it under the sink to capture water even if the space is compact.

A Twist on the Traffic Light

sign_01

Designed for everything from overpasses and bridges to pedestrian crossings and traffic lights, this innovative warning sign aims to prevent dangerous accidental crossings by vehicles that exceed height limitations. Equipped with an array of all-weather sensors, the system is able to detect the height of oncoming trucks and cars. In the event a vehicle is too high to pass, the light will give the driver a visual warning so they can make route adjustments. Not only useful for size issues, the system can also be used to indicate road conditions or closures.
