J Clips

About this project

The purpose of this device is to allow someone to put on their jacket using only one hand in an easy clipping fashion.

The challenge

The need knower requested a light but durable device that could be easily incorporated into her day to day cane that would help her put on her jacket independently.

Who it helps

The need knower is a stroke victim who suffered from paralysis on her left arm and leg. She is unable to move her left arm at all, but she can use her left leg to support her weight.
