Weekly Challenge Group

Created by Arin Swadi on 30 August, 2021

In this challenge, I challenge you to find a mechanical solution to the following problem.


The panel is to be guided out of an enclosed space and brought into the position shown using a mechanism.


The following parameters must be observed:


- Dimensions of the plate: height: 30mm, length: 1000mm, depth freely selectable

- Dimensions of the installation space (dotted line): Height: 500mm, thickness of top panel: also 30mm, depth: unlimited

- Starting position of the panel in the enclosed space is freely selectable (setback between front edge of enclosed space and panel: 50mm)

- End position of the panel: abutting the front edge of the enclosed space, flush at the top (please ensure that there is no overlap between the panel and the installation space during movement (green circle area))

- In start position: no mechanism outside the enclosed space


I look forward to your ideas for this little mechanics challenge


Have fun designing
