Picture hanger for wheelchair users

Details

How does a wheel chair user hang picture frame in their house without any assistance up in their wall? Sure it is not day to day task but still it must feel limited to hang at once or change the frame at will.

Inspired with flag pole rope system, I am building a very simple, manual and attractive picture hanging system mounted on wall designed to hang picture for wheelchair users similar with concept of the flag elevation mechanism that can be universally adaptable that does not require power except one hand to adjust.

Components

1 × Cable cover 1.2 meter

2 × Rod Small size diameter that can fit in to the cable cover

1 × Rope 2.6 meter

Widening scope 2.0- Coat hanger

It is known that most people take off their coat and hang their coat on coat hanger when they are inside their house, office or indoor other places and this task is hard for wheelchair users. This Picture hanger for wheelchair users project also created new idea for coat hanger that lowers at will for wheelchair users to hang their cloth without any assistance.
Prototype coming soon.

The initial goal of the project was simple: help disabled to hang their picture frame without the need of any assistance but this project also created new target for building same concept mechanism to change light bulb.
Prototype is underway

Do it before needing a wheelchair. 🤣

Are you sure? yes | no

@Ken Yap actually that is not a bad idea. This system can be installed in every abled house too: you never know when you become disabled

Are you sure? yes | no

@Dingo420 Thank you for the question. Well like any structure of a housing like electrical system and others, it is installed by the contractor who built or made the finishing job of the housing in locations where it is suitable to hang pictures. It comes with coat hanger and other limiting tasks as well.

Are you sure? yes | no

Are you sure? yes | no
