Brief - Design a product that will help disabled people, in particular people who suffer from Muscular Dystrophy, to be able to have a drink whilst on the move in a wheelchair as they may have limited or no use of their upper limbs at all. On a wheelchair tray, the cup will tend to slide around or topple. This product will reduce the need for a carer to constantly hold a cup whilst the person has a drink by gripping to the surface of a tray.
Materials - textured, injection moulded green Silicone base grip with inner teeth to grip any size cup. White Polypropylene lid placed and glued around the top rim to form a rigid shape.
