Manufacturing of Hand Operated Car Attachment for Person with Disabilities

摘要

In a conventional car we know that the driving operation needs a combination of operation of accelerator, brake and clutch. A normal person with a normal body can easily drive this car without any hesitation. A person who is disabled (crippled) can not make use of their legs like a normal person and consequently can not drive a car. We have designed an attachment in which a lever is attached in such a way that when pull force is applied ir undergoes acceleration and when push force is applied it undergoes braking operation. A new gear knob is designed which has a push button which when pressed will actuate the servo motor and hence clutch operation will be carried out. A safety feature is added that when brakes are applied, the clutch operation will take place automatically which will be useful in traffic conditions...
