Ergonomics (Product description and Idea Trigger)









This product is simple, flat, smooth at the edges and symmetrical on the vertical axis. It is rubbery has only one colour. It is used to attach socks to a laundry clip. It has a square hole on both ends where a clip would clip on to the product. There are groves of the side where the socks would be stuffed in.
The design considerations are the size of standard clips, the size of socks and it's compatibility with them.
As this product is flat, so it would be hard for the elderly to pick it up when it is placed on a flat surface as there is no grip. It can be improved if there was a 'ring' at the top so it would not be resting completely flat and it would be easier to pick up.
