Abstract
This paper presents transfer equipment that enables a person with mildly disabled limbs to use an ordinary toilet. The critical problem occurs when a wheelchair user would like to use the ordinary toilet because of the narrow entrance and booth of it. This paper proposes such a small transfer equipment as to enter the ordinary toilet and move in it. This equipment is foldable and can be carried with a wheelchair. The base frame is a shower chair for the elderly and it has four omni wheels: three driving wheels and one caser wheel. This equipment is operated with a three dimension joystick (x, y and rotation) This paper discusses the possibility of transfer equipment through experiments.
