PROBLEM

SOLUTION

USB hub, WiFi, charging dock. Your belt is now a hotspot. Your pants are infrastructure. Seat next to you on the train suddenly opens up.

components

The central locking mechanism of the Pinchers of Power system. A spring-loaded dual-jaw clasp that secures the belt, anchors all attachments, and provides the structural backbone for whatever the user decides to bolt onto it. Rated for loads that no reasonable person would put on a belt buckle. Tested for loads that unreasonable people definitely will.

Inspect

The Uni-Adapter converts anything to anything in any size, shape, scope or situation. Every integration is different. Until now.

Inspect

Multi-port USB distribution node. Powers, charges, and connects devices simultaneously. The electrical octopus of the Cave Pipe.

Inspect

Wireless internet access node. Broadcasts signal. Does not care about your download speed expectations.

Inspect

Wired and wireless charging surface for personal devices. Accepts most standards. Judges none of them.

Inspect

Standard power outlet embedded in the pipe. Because at some point something still needs to plug in.

EXTENDS
