Enable Basins- Height Adjustable Basin  
The Client for this project had an idea for a new product intended for the disability market. The height adjustable basin was designed and prototyped outlining the concept. At this stage he brought the prototype to us for assistance on redesigning the product to enhance the aesthetics and to make it suitable for volume manufacture at low cost.

We redesigned the control system to provide preset height increments and to allow a single button press to automatically adjust to that height. The user remembering their setting, could easily adjust the basin to the required height, particularly useful for wheelchair and elderly users alike.

The transport system was also examined and cost reducing changes made to remove maintenance and reduce manufacturing costs.

The basin was designed with three market places in mind: Home, Residential homes and Hospitals. The design has features to suit each one.

Extensions to the design allow remote activation of the unit from a doorway selector panel. This allows all the facilities of a residential bathroom to be automatically set to the programmed settings of the user as they enter.

A prototype and full manufacturing documentation was produced for each version.

We also able produced 'Flyers' enabling advanced marketing of the product prior to manufacture. Using photo realistic CAD modelling, a life-like image of each version was produced and inserted into an advertisement. Click on the thumbnail below to view the flyer.
