Cord clutter goes classy. Walking through a classroom or conference room, it is
all too common to see AV cables strewn across the floor. This is a tripping hazard to users as well as an eyesore.
Cordaway is the simple and practical solution to cable
clutter. Cordaway provides a wall-mountable solution
to tuck a coiled cable neatly out of the way.
Cordaway can find a home in design studios, classrooms,
and offices. It can be appreciated by anyone who is tired
of tripping over cables and wants a beautifully efficient
storage method.
Using the Cordaway is as simple as coiling a
cable and racking it on the outward-flaring,
inward-lowing front flange. The cable will naturally
slide down and into the spacious cradle.
Furthermore, users will be pleased to note
features such as a convenient carrying
handle and opposing convex-concave curves that make it easy to remove the cable for use.

WooderBottle The word’s first fully biodegradable disposable water bottle.

Inspired by nature. Made from nature.
100% sourced from a tree, this bottle is made from a completely biodegradable, yet durable and
waterproof, blend of lignin fibers and natural resins. After use, disposal is not a concern, since it
breaks down within weeks upon contact with bacteria in the soil. Additionally,since it is 100% tree-
based, it can be burned as fuel when done. Best of all, it is the world’s first thermoforming wood
material. This means it can be melted and reformed into any shape just like traditional plastics.
Finally, the source material of lignin is the waste byproduct of the paper-making industry, so noadditional deforestation needs to occur.
The disposable plastic bottle is one of the greatest sources of waste and pollution in modern society.
WooderBottle, developed by Rothwell Technologies, LLC. takes a step back to nature’s roots.

Poland Spring beware.
At the same time, this innovative shape allows
for WooderBottle to be fully stackable in three
dimensions. This drastically reduces the amount
of packaging material that is needed, cutting both
costs and waste.
WooderBottle is a win-win for consumers,
industry, and the environment. It allows users
to maintain the sheer convenience of a disposable water bottle without any environmental strings
attached. This is just another example of
cutting-edge products being developed for
marketing by Rothwell Technologies, LLC.
In addition to being fully biodegradable, WooderBottle was designed to be
highly ergonomic. The design is a blended rhomboid, which naturally fits
into the space between the user’s index finger and thumb.

TEX
Tex Innovative shaker bottle with supplement storage in lid.

The new edge on supplementation.Shaker bottles are used around the world by weightlifters, athletes, and people on the go
who want to supplement their beverage of choice with a protein or energy powder. However,current designs are hard to clean, and a hassle to use. It is clinically proven that supplements
are most effective when taken immediately after exercising. However, for users who don’t live
close to the gym, achieving this schedule can be a big challenge.
The Tex shaker bottle changes the paradigm by featuring a fully-enclosed supplement storage
compartment in the lid, sealed by a revolutionary new Aster-whisk design based off of fluid
dynamics. Supplementation with Tex is as easy as pushing a button on the lid.

It just works. A full-scale prototype of Tex was 3D-printed for feasibility tests. It was
fully assembled for ergonomic testing, and for hands-on testing of thesupplement release mechanism. Prototyping was an overwhelming
success, and production and marketing are planned.
There are six main characteristics that truly
define Tex’s design solution: a supplement
storage compartment built into its lid, theunique Aster-Whisk, a push-to-release
supplement trigger, an easy-open lid, an
octagonal shape for enhanced ergonomics,
and a detachable bottom. Altogether, these
features contribute to a product that redefines
the shaker bottle industry.
Individuals who strive to stay active integrate fitness and proper nutrition
into their daily lifestyle. Current shaker bottles rely on user accommodation
to the design deficiencies. Tex’s design identifies these shortages,
establishes new criteria, and simultaneously solves the issues while
redefining user experience with shaker bottle products.
