Suggestion/Criticism
Decision Made
Bars might fall and injure her
Have a stiff ratcheting hinge which has to be pushed
down to fall to position and is not free-falling
The entire structure seems unstable and can sway
and move during use
Have tight, strong nylon straps attached to a board
which go all the way around the door.
PVC may be slippery and cause the shirt to fall
down.
Use wood to make bars and add knobs 1/4th of the
way away from her to ensure it does not slip away.
Metal clip may be too strong to pull away from
easily
Use lighter wooden clothes clips
Make sure the device is not obstructive in her room Ensure the bars can be folded up against the door
when not in use
Add a bar perpendicular to both which she can
hold while finding the head hole
Add two small bars near her arms’ reach where
she can support her arms while putting her head
through the head holes.
Shirt may slide too far down the bars during use
Add knobs partway down the bars to stop the shirt
at the right distance
