Technology Highlights

• Fasteners, particularly small screws, are widely used commercially, industrially, and in homes to assemble and repair a wide range of products. Examples include technical devices, such as smartphones, PCs, and laptops. Common nontechnical household items such as jewelry, wristwatches and eyeglasses, also utilize small fasteners and screws.
• The invention provides a caddy designed to organize small screws and facilitate their efficient handling, grasping, and use during the assembly or repair of target products
• The invention provides multiple recesses for individual screws, which are contained within a larger caddy. The licensee can configure the recesses as desired to be homogeneous or heterogeneous in diameter and include the optimal number of screw openings for the caddy to meet individual product needs.
• The invention contemplates both a magnetic screwdriver and the potential use of an adhesive substance to facilitate grasping small screws with a screwdriver. This is a significant advantage over manually loading and grasping small screws onto a screwdriver.
• The invention includes a screw cover for the caddy, designed to keep internal components secure during transport and handling. The screw cover may be transparent and configured as either a sliding cover on top of the caddy or a hinged cover.
• The invention has undergone a significant prototype development. This development process significantly optimized the screw recess diameter relative to the screw head and screwdriver, which facilitates efficient screw withdrawal with minimal friction and maximum efficiency.
• The potential use of an adhesive with the system could be optimized for individual product needs, by adjusting the quantity or composition of the adhesive
• The potential use of a magnetic screwdriver with the system could be optimized for individual product needs by adjusting the screwdriver's magnetic strength.
