Abstract
People with disability have to face a lot of problems in their day-to-day life due to the flexibility issues. One such issue is using the shopping cart in the grocery stores. Using shopping cart becomes very difficult, as they have to control the movement of the wheel chair and shopping chair at the same time while placing the grocery in the shopping cart, which is an extra burden on the user. They would have to constantly control the movement of the cart, as there would be lot of obstacles in the store which becomes a very big problem for the user. The aim of my project is to design a device to connect a wheel chair with a shopping cart. The device would be designed in such a way that the user would be able to connect the wheel chair with the shopping cart sitting in the wheel chair without anyone’s help. This would give them that flexibility to do the things on their own instead of depending on others. This would also help them to place the grocery in the cart easily as the length of the device is smaller than the length of the average arm. The user does not have to apply a lot of effort in controlling the movement of the wheel chair and shopping cart as the shopping cart would act just like an extension of the wheel chair, which makes it very easy to control. The device is portable and the cost would also be very cheap as the individual parts used in the device are easily manufactured.
