Adjustable Guide Dog Harness

Adjustable Guide Dog Harness - open-source assistive technology concept by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

Anna would like to create an adjustable handle for her guide dog harness so that she can easily alter its length.

Who it helps

Anna has vision loss. She often changes her shoes to different heights.

How it works

I redesigned the handle to incorporate a length-adjustable structure.The structure is inspired by that of a lipstick container.

The basic principle of the length adjuster is to change the overall length by the screw structure. The length can be adjusted by rotating the top cap.
