Washing Machine Reaching Device
|
For: |
Ron Baliko |
| Challenge: |
Ron was unable to reach the dial at the back of the washing
machine to start the wash. Even if the dial was at the front it
would be difficult for Ron to turn the dial with no finger
dexterity. |
| Solution: |
A ¼" piece of doweling with a T-joint at one end for grip
and a knuckle joint at the opposite end as shown above left side.
The face plate from the dial was removed and a reduce fitting to
accommodate the knuckle joint was inserted into the dial to allow
Ron to turn it to the needed setting. Once the dial is set the
T-joint is used to pull the dial out to start the wash. |
