MeasureLock Pro Solid commodity measuring device

Patent technical brief and feasibility review

Adjustable solid commodity measuring device.

A single-chassis measuring utensil for dry goods, using slider-driven adjustment, density-specific scale markings, and a spring-detent lock to hold capacity under scooping force.

Dry goods only

Built for rice, flour, lentils, peas, and other solid commodities.

The design intentionally avoids liquid-measure sealing problems. It focuses on stable particulate isolation, repeatable weight conversion, and a scraper boundary that keeps powder and grains inside the active chamber.

Dynamic capacity Slider motion shifts the internal boundary to size the primary cup chamber.
Zero-slip detention A spring-loaded lock pin secures the selected measurement position.
Commodity scales Parallel tracks compensate for different mass-to-volume densities.
Toolless cleaning The brief calls for latch-based breakdown and practical cleaning access.

Outer vessel Transparent cup stabilizes the dry material while exposing the internal movement.
Thumb actuator The handle slider selects a measurement and visually aligns to the scale.
Moving boundary The adjustable wall/base changes the usable volume for repeatable measures.

Feasibility assessment

Why the product strategy is viable.

Reduced seal complexity Dry scrapers focus on particle exclusion, avoiding liquid-tight hermetic sealing.
Low production friction Injection-molded PP, TPE, and guideway parts support efficient production.
High manufacturing margins The brief targets a compact utility assembly with minimal major molded components.
Clear consumer value One utensil can replace several measuring cups and spoons for dry ingredients.
