APPARATUS FOR DRAWING EMBOSSED GEOMETRICAL SHAPES AND CONSTRUCTIONS FOR VISUALLY CHALLENGED AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED USERS

摘要

An apparatus (100) for drawing geometrical shapes and geometrical constructions for visually challenged and visually impaired users. In an embodiment, the apparatus (100) includes base plate (102), clamping mechanism (104), magnetic point markers (106), and a plurality of geometrical shape tracing members. The clamping mechanism (104) is adapted to secure braille paper (110) onto the base plate (102). The point marker (106) is configured to be magnetically positioned at various portions of the base plate (102) for creating an embossed point or a hole on the braille paper (110). The geometrical shape tracing members are configured to be supported over the point marker (106), where each geometrical shape tracing member is configured with a raised pattern representing a geometrical shape. The braille paper (110) is pressed against the raised pattern, for creating an embossed geometrical shape or geometrical construction on the braille paper (110).
