OK, call me CRAZY! Need ideas for juice feeder for Commercial Mods!

[chev327fox]

How about if it was universal so it could be fit onto any mod. I could have a cradle type holder with rubber straps that go around the device and hook back to itself. It would kind of be like a back pack or phany pack idea. It would have like a half cylinder so you could put the juice bottle in it and that would have a strap to hold it in as well. I think it would work really well.

Conman- How did you attach it? Need more info??
Chev- I agree about the universal, I have a few mods and would like to just pop it on any of them.

See Nico-- I'm back!

Well see that`s the part where the velcro comes in. Universal is the main reason for it. Two small slits cut towards the top of the tube and two small slits towards the bottom with velcro strip ran into and through them so you then can strap the velcro around a Chuck or whatever other device you have. Or I`m liking the strong magnets idea myself the more I think of it.

The velcro would work for sure but the magnets need a good testing run on that idea.

See that attachment in these pictures was actually one of the two things that in fact wasn`t really there in my picture but done in Paint feature. And the bottle wasn`t cut out of the tube area yet for squeezing it.

I am going to turn my Tundra mod into the real deal today or very soon. All I need is to snag a brass fitting for the cart off my sister.
And some velcro stuff. But I do have the powerful magnets already for giving that a try.

Magnets! great idea! Should work on the Silver Bullet too right? Wanna see pics when you're done!

empty 10ml bottle + cutting off top + heating bottle + molding it to new form to wrap around atty + poke hole in it to put tubing in to go to cart + hole with fashioned cap to take on/off to refill bottle = profit.

Be imaginative and you will succeed.

Charger tundra=nice.

Believe it or not, I tried melting a bottle! The results were not good! Have you tried it? Maybe I did something wrong? Great idea...

The trick would be to not heat it too much. Best way would be to get water to an almost boiling point (200F), fill the bottle with it, dump the water out, and you will have ~10 seconds to mold it. Should be able to, since you can keep refilling it and trying again til you get it right. Worth a shot, right?

Magnets wont work on aluminum I think... so it wouldn't be universal, that's why I said rubber hook straps because they can stretch real good and rubber grips smooth metal very well.

 

[CloudBurst]

Good point Chev...I think between the metal holder and the rubber straps, we could be onto something. Now, Conman, where did you get the casing for the bottle again?
Chev- any idea what type of rubber straps we could use?

 

[Connman]

Here is the link for the Charger tube on ebay

And for a undetermined amount of time these pictures showing how well the bottle fits the bottle can be viewed HERE at Photobucket just in case you wanted to see.

And good thinking there chev327fox
"and rubber grips smooth metal very well"

a flat accordion plastic bottle. small little fat tiny bottle completely sealed and leak prove. would work like a button. velcro on the bottom

 

[CloudBurst]

How about a piece of inner tube material slid over the mod and the holder for the bottle? I'm gonna try that!

 

[CloudBurst]

So far, this is working pretty darn good! I took a small tire tube and cut it short enough to cover the bottle. Then I cut a hole for the switch and another to see the level of juice. I used a few cut pieces of a furniture pad to wedge it into place, because it kept trying to turn. Not to awful intrusive either! It's working GREAT! Oh ya, it will work with mt SB also, making another although it could be interchangeable but why bother changing it out, the tire tube would do about 50 of these! LOL

What cha think??

 

[Sci]

Stormi, if you'd trim the top of that inner tube back a little, you wouldn't have to remove the bottle to refill it.
This is brilliant, by the way.

 

[CloudBurst]

Good idea Sci, the tube is pretty tight so I may try it with cutting the top and the bottom out to remove it easier. Leave a band across the middle of the bottle. This is still working great, I'm so happy using my Natulis again!

Ordered charger tube to try out.

sort of watching this thread...how about heat shrink tubing?

 

[Connman]

Looks good storminyte.
I was going to ask how tight it was but think you are still working on that area. What you have pictured there looks great and universal for those bike tubes really can stretch.
