Washing line adaptation
Project / Project number: 34/02 2004 / Status: Complete
The challenge
This lady has multiple sclerosis and she cannot raise her arms sufficiently to hang out her washing.
Two garden clothes poles were made with cross members which could be raised and lowered by a winch. Washing lines are fixed between the cross members. The lines can therefore be at the low point for pegging out washing and at the high point for drying.
The lady can now participate in a basic domestic function.
