Problem Statement Bathtub lift – a device that provides assistance to an individual with physical disabilities, including limited balance, coordination, or mobility Can reduce the difficulties of raising and/or lowering an individual into the tub by utilizing a powered seat and a simple control module As population grows the number of aged individuals will greatly increase making demand for assist devices increase Project motivation – Theresa Loce Improve the current design Current device does not meet her needs Powered lift that is sturdy, comfortable, easy to use/clean, makes minimal noise, and takes into account physical limitations of user Ultimate goal – user maintains autonomy and privacy
5
Deliverables Effectively assist the user for bathing purposes Device is easy to access from starting position Minimized operating time Provide a comfortable and supportive seating area Accessible to 10 th -70 th percentile for both genders, regardless of age Reasonably lightweight and portable, able to be transported
6
Current and Desired State Current Unstable Out of production Damaged Difficult access Obstructions prevent full use Desired Easy use Easy access Portable Lightweight

Issues to Address from Phase IV Include actuator on CAD design Free body diagram of the Actuator Putting locking mechanism for rotation and lateral movement Make controller longer and wider Limitations of actuator Reorganize risk assessment to importance & severity ratings
9
Action Items from Phase IV Action ItemOwnerIssue(s) to Address Include actuator in the CAD design and perform FBD Andrew & Jeremy Stresses on the actuator Length of the rod needed to ensure seat about bath tub Refine a design and prototype for controller Amos & Jeremy Controller being too small having ability to slip out of hand. Refine CAD designAndrew Ensure the chair fits the target percentile Determine location of bearing and pins Locking mechanism Conduct stress analysisRichard Stress from bending with materials chosen Stresses on pins and bearings Refine BOMAmos Ensure material is waterproof and is strong for safety reasons. Contact Linak Sales ManagerJeremy Specific model code of actuator to order Limitation of actuator
