securing or storing personal possessions
personal-belonging to a person
disabled
visually impared
little or no sight
harder to complete visual tasks such as typing in numbers turning and finding the right keys for the lock
you could incorporate braille or recorded voice messages to explain how to use the product
for people that still have a bit of sight you could use bright bold colours and simple shapes to make it easier to understand and use
physical disability
paralysed
harder to move limbs with control
larger buttons/switches to turn on lights machines ect.
for example bigger buttons on safes to open and easier handles to grip to open them
could be in a wheel chair
needs to be easily accessible
no over hanging ledges that could make it hard to reach into or over
you could have an adjustable system which you could move up and down depending if you had to reach the safe in a wheel chair
you could make something that attached to the edges of a table so it would be easily accessible it would have to be secure to make sure it didn't fall off and injure someone
elderly
reduced mobility
essential tremor
makes it harder to make fine movements such as picking up keys
you could make the end of the key easier to grip onto
you could use different materials such as plastics which are easier to grip onto
you could make a sleeve that would make the end of the key easier to pick up by increasing its size especially during constant shaking and muscle weakness because you could use larger movements
you could also make the key magnetic so a magnet could be used to pick it up if it was dropped this means the elderly person wouldn't have to bend over which could be painful and/or dangerous for them
makes it much harder to turn objects such as door handles due to the constant shaking
you could make the handles longer so they're easier to turn and and a ergonomically friendly grip so it's more comfortable to turn
you could have alternate ways to open it
buttons they would have to be easier to press so older people could use it independently
automatic (voice and/or face recognition)
handles however they would have to be easy to pull open because older people have weaker muscles and constant shaking could make this harder
artheritis
makes it harder to make fine movements such as typing in numbers or letters
larger buttons or alternate systems such as face or voice recignition could be used to open locks
harder to pick up small objects such as keys
you could make the objects larger and easier to pick up or you could also use magnets to help pick objects up out of small tight spaces or the floor
child
can't read or count well
you could use colours on the buttons to unlock the product however this wouldn't work for colour blind children so you could mix colours and patterns
it would help children remember patterns and learn colours
you could use keys
the keys would have to be bright coloured and big so they wouldn't get lost or accidentally swallowed by younger siblings if they were left on the floor
voice and fingerprint recognition
it would work well however the technology could be too complicated and expensive for young children
you could simplify the technology so it would be easier for younger children to understand, simplifying it would also make it less expensive
not very strong
could make it harder to press multiple buttons at once to open up the product
you could use multiple single step processes to open the product rather than multiple ones at once this would also be simpler for a child
they could find it hard to turn stiff handles that are hard to grip onto
you could make the handle longer so its easier to open
you could make the handles out of a material that's easier to grip on to for example swapping a metal handle to a plastic handle with an ergonomic grip
you could also make a plastic handle that could go over an already metal one therefore meaning its easier to change from a metal handle to plastic handle and more environmentally friendly because it can be used for both children and adults
storing-keeping something for future use to be used again so storage must minimise the risk of damage to a product
animal proof
secure lids and boxes that cant be opened by rodents e.g.rats and mice
strong joints that cant be broken or pulled apart easily e.g.welding, dovetail joint
lids must be flush to the box and attached strongly so they can't be squeezed into or lifted up by animals e.g.hinges and buckles
minimising breakages
you could store fragile products with protective layers around them
e.g. plastic coatings
pack bubble wrap between the layers to absorb compression
you could store breakable items in a strong box
use strong materials e.g. composite materials
use strong joining methods so it cant be pulled apart
possessions-something that is owned and often valued
something that is valued need to be kept safe from the environment and people
locks
need to be strong so people cant break them apart and hard to find the code/password
flame resistant materials e.g. steel
In case there is a fire personal possessions will be kept safe
securing-fix or attach something firmly so it can't be moved lost broken or damaged
ways to stop things being moved or lost
locks
keys
safes
ways to stop things being broken or damaged
store them in a secure box
cover fragile items in a layer of protective coating e.g.high impact plastic such as ABS or HDPE
