Father develops elevator for his son's bed

The structure is made of scrap metal, springs, an identical gel battery to those used for electronic cars and a 12V hydraulic piston recovered on a small car. The structure can be painted with anti-corrosion spray to prevent rust.

It works when Iago presses a button that is suited to his strength and the bed starts moving from side. When he presses another button, the bed tilts to the other side.

“As Iago can not go back, this lightweight control allows it to tilt the mattress in the desired position”, Robin explained.

This father created a lot of innovations, and their house is totally customized so it can satisfy Iago’s needs.

"We made sure to go up the ground to get everything on one level, without stairs, that Iago can easily move with his electric cart”, the inventor said.

Robin also installed an extra seat on his bicycle so he can ride with his son, and installed a camera on Iago’s cart, so he can always see what’s behind him.
