About the solution
Duncan在伦敦皇家艺术学院攻读研究生时,曾经提出了折叠自行车轮的概念。但是,后来他从轮椅社区收到电子邮件,告诉他这个概念实际上对轮椅使用者来说意义重大,所以他重新设计了可以折叠的轮椅车轮。
Morph Wheel允许用户将轮椅折叠成更小,整洁的包裹,因此它可以轻松地放入飞机的顶部储物柜,或汽车的后备箱中。
邓肯(Duncan)是7TH设计与发明公司的联合创始人,该公司是一个产品设计工作室,其核心业务是通过优雅而神奇的创新你产品和技术,在各行各业产生巨大影响。邓肯所做的许多设计都带来了专利创新,这来自于他对相关需求以及相关的设计流程的深入了解。
在许多人因为折叠车轮联系邓肯之后,他开始研究和设计适用于轮椅的改进版本,并由詹姆斯.戴森基金会和InnovationRCA慷慨地提供支持。实际上,实心轮胎并不是问题,因为邓肯已经开发出了一种可以用于自行车的充气式版本,而轮椅通常使用标准实心轮胎。
“事实证明,虽然折叠轮对骑自行车的人来说很有用,但轮椅使用者实际上可以改变残疾人的生活。”邓肯解释说,“存放和运输轮椅有很多问题,而最大的问题是轮子尺寸。例如,许多轮椅使用者在飞行时必须将他们珍贵的轮椅存放在机舱内,因为轮子无法安装在高架储物柜中。在选择新汽车时,轮椅使用者的选择往往非常有限,因为许多车的后备箱太小而不适合放置轮椅。如果你不能折叠轮子,你只能把你的轮椅折叠一般。而增加可折叠的轮子,整个轮椅都可以完全折叠起来。这恰好解决了轮椅最大的难题!“
