| description | This study proposes an innovative product design to enhance the safety of indoor furniture. Currently, furniture presents safety concerns due to various factors such as improper placement, excessive loads, and environmental influences. The most prominent of these safety issues is furniture tip-over. Therefore, product designs aimed at preventing tip-over have been developed to ensure safety in indoor environments and avert potential accidents. In the initial phase of the study, the factors contributing to tip-over in a standard cabinet were investigated: the height of force application, leg diameter, leg length, leg’s position on the bottom panel, and the furniture's load status. In the second phase, designs to prevent tip-over were developed. Following prototype production stages, the developed product was mounted on the cabinet, and experiments incorporating product variables and other variations were conducted. The results indicate that the effectiveness of the developed tip-over prevention product varies depending on usage, with its impact on preventing tip-over ranging between 17.5% and 54.3%. These findings suggest that the designed product can significantly enhance indoor safety and offers a potential alternative solution for preventing furniture tip-over. |
