primary reserach- products similar to mine
In this all the wheels, handles and bars can be removed until it is just the main body frame; this allows for the selection of how you want/need your barrow to be on the day so you can choose the amount of the barrow you bring and also all of these components can be lowered or heightened to the users needs like for example if the user was shorter he could just lower the handles: this also translates to how I want to have a seat on the barrow and the other things on it so they are not having to be brought separate and that way there is a more compact design as I could have a seatbox with some adjustable sliding brackets which can be adjusted to the users need removed or added if needed amongst the other attachements that I will make.
In this image I like that there is two handles, if you are going up a hill you can push from one end and on the other side if you are going down a hill or straight you can control the barrow. This also helps if the barrow is stuck or is loaded heavy the most common handles may not get the barrow unstuck and so it may need to be pushed or pulled by the bars at the front.
In this image there is a spirit level; there is also adjustable legs so this allows the user to know that they are level so they aren't sloped or at an angle where there is discomfort. This image also shows the layers of the seatbox, but this seatbox does not have drawers it has trays almost in the fact that they do not slide in and out they are lifted of the top of each other either like a door as if it the locks seen on this box are locked on only one side (locks on boths sides which also makes it accsessable from either side) the lock acts as a hinge and so openes like a door or if both sides are unlocked it opens like straight upwards, although I do like this Idea I want to use drawers as my user could remove the drawer before hand but still have the skeleton of the seatbox whereras if I used this design it would change the height of the seatbox which and also could knock things over when opened as a hinge and also adds unnecessary weight when opening if a user wants something in a tray lower down the seatbox. Although in this product I do like the locks to a fair extent as they are more grippable and obvious that they are open than most other locks.
The strap can be
this design has a retractable footrest which is retracted by the same sort of mechanisms in which the legs are with the clamps, this will add comfort for the user especially when by the water or in it and I could potentially add something similar of the legs to it in that attachments can be added to it.

I really like the simplicity of this design as if a fisherman wanted to pack light he could use this and move spots without having to worry too much about the distance as this design fits just like a back pack so will not be cumbersome or annoying to carry; it also functions as a seat which is helpful to the angler as if they are older but still want to a a fishing which can often require moving to new spots like lure fishing then it also gives them the ability to do this if they are old or get fatigued easily.
these use star knob clamps which are ergonomic as the hand has grooves to grip onto and it is not smooth shape.
the way all these attahcments attach to the seatbox are universal as in the measurements of the clamps or fastenings
they clamp around the legs of the seatbox which are all the same diameter allowing for universal attachment. On most of the attachements there is some sort of tightening system which allows the attachment to be placed almost anywhere along the leg of the modular storage system. The way that they are tightened is by a hand tightened tube clamps but they have differnet handles and other things but the way they open and close is very similar.
this has a slightly different handle on the clamp- it is smaller to grip onto and it you pinch your hands more onto it which could allow for less tightening as you cannot use the full force of your hand you can only use your fingers so this could make the equipment come loose when fishing.
This is an attachement which I was definitely considering as it allow for my client to put his tackle or bait on there or anything else he would like which would make him far less likley to lose things which he has mentioned previously but one thing I would change about this tray is the depth of it as I think it is too shallow and could be more deep.
These attach on to a keep net arm seperately like this one
, they allow for the fish to be kept in a net to see how many fish you have caught but this can be seen as inhumane as my client usually does catch and release. This has made me think about how I could make different attachements interact together which could further imporve and make more efficient the users fishing experience.
I liked the padding of this design and the colour scheme as it is camoflauoge, fishes have good colour vision and so if a fish sees an unnatural colour it will scare them off especially if it is bright and so using a natural camoflauge will stop this from happening.

I like the depth of this as there is more room for my client to put his bait or whatever is need into here, it is also compactable which I like and there is an extra leg for support as well and to also keep the tray level. This tray is a feeder side tray so all the bait and some of the necessary tackle and equpement can and is most of the time placed in here; within arms reach of the user which keeps the fishing efficient.
Overrall I like the simplicity of the design, I think what gives me the most inspriation is the locks of this design- becuase they are very simple and you can have multiple on top of each other without any problems as they open sideways; and also the user adaptability of the design as the same with the other seatboxes on this slide, the user can add attachements to suit to their needs like for example if they are fishing for carp they could attach a feeder arm to rest their rod on. One thing that I think may be a bit of a problem is that the seatboxes have quite stiff seats as in they do not provide much padding and are potentially uncomfortable to sit on for longs periods of time and they also don't have a backrest or armrests for the user so In my design I will make my design more ergonomic and comfortable which will make my design unique and stand out from the others.
I like that there is two spirit levels on this design as it shows you the level of not just the box but also the legs of the box which are supporting it to allow for more precise levelling.
I like the handle on this design as compared to other seatboxes which don't have it it allows for a place to grip onto
