| Abstract |
Zero-to-Five Degrees is a new design meant for bookshelf. When a bookshelf
is not packed, books do not stay upright. The design of Zero-to-Five Degrees
adds a small angle to the horizontal plane of a modular bookshelf so that the
books stay upright through gravitational law. It offers an option of adjusting the
horizontal plane according to the user’s preference. When any book is taken
out or put back to the bookshelf with the design of Zero-to-Five Degrees, the
remaining of the books keep staying upright. The bookshelf with this new
design has good potential to be commercialized because: (i) bookshelf is one
of the necessary furniture in most of the houses, and (ii) it is stylish with no
added cost. |
