RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In order to realize the project Drinkware Lampshade, it was necessary to invent the mechanism which satisfies both function of holding a drinking glass without any modification such as drilling and providing power feeder cable inconspicuously.
CHALLENGE: It took a long time to invent the mechanism of easily holding and locking a drinking glass by making some prototypes. The problem was solved by a simple screw locking mechanism although it was difficult to lock the drinking glass so as not to stress the power feeder cable.
