Hydraulic press
The challenge
The project is needed to help individuals with reduced hand function perform everyday tasks, like wringing out cloths, without help of others and without pain.
Who it helps
The potential users are people with limited hand strength or coordination, such as those with arthritis, neurological conditions, or physical disabilities.
How it works
This solution will allow users to wring out cloths with minimal hand involvement, reducing physical strain and making the task easier and more accessible.
A compact device with a lid that allows users to press down on it to wring out a cloth, with drainage holes to expel water, minimizing the need for hand coordination.
Tools needed
