The Helpful Bow

The Helpful Bow - open-source assistive technology working model by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

This project is needed because this device can and will help people who can't do a daily activity be less self-conscious about themselves. It will also help them be more courageous to work on themselves, and boost their self-esteem.

Who it helps

Seniors with shaky hands, children, and people with dyspraxia.

How it works

This solution will address the challenge by helping the individual's feel more comfortable pour from a big bottle/jug into a cup.

My solution is to make a plastic "bow" that can attach to one's cup, and provide the necessary support to the person's bottle, and direct the flow of water straight into the cup.

Tools needed

PC or MAC I7 +

Fusion 360

Prusa slicer

Measurement tool

FDM Printer
