The handle for the food carrier could be improved if it was shaped ergonomically.

Research anthropometrics and ergonomics.

The, sketch two rough ideas for an improved shape to the handle. Include explanatory notes.

Then, select your best design and develop it to a final design.

 
 
 

ROUGH IDEA 1
The grip fits the fingers of the user. It is manufactured from foam rubber, allowing a comfortable grip.

 

ROUGH IDEA 2
This design has a ‘stop’ at either end of the handle. This is moulded as one piece, reducing manufacturing costs.

 
 
 
FINAL IDEA
Development of Idea 1: The handle has been developed to a ‘tapered’ shape,
as this gives an even more comfortable shape to grip.
