Electric Pencil Sharpener Modifications
| Challenge: |
A person lacked strength and fine motor
control in his hands, and needed a device in order to use an
electric pencil sharpener. |
| Solution: |
"Butterfly" cap fittings were modified
to hold pencils of varying sizes, and prevent the pencils from
turning while being sharpened. As the person could grip with his
fingers, a "T" coupling was modified to hold the cap fittings and
pencils for sharpening. A wooden support was fabricated to keep the
sharpener in position while in use. |
