Bar Handle Rail

What a clever young lady?

Ruth, 19, from Sheffield, designed the StairSteady to help those with walking difficulties climb the stairs as part of her design and technology GCSE project.
Ruth designed and developed a metal bar attached to a metal stair rail. It allows those with limited mobility to use the stairs without worrying that they will fall.
Those using the StairSteady push the bar along the rail to help them balance when they want go up and down the stairs.
The bar uses friction to lock itself in place so users can pull themselves up to the next step. It will lock in place if the user falls or stumbles. When not in use, the handle can be pushed flat against the wall.
So simple yet brilliant, don’t you agree?
Sorry Jomamo.
Its great when young people use their heads to improve the lifestyles of those less fortunate. Clever young lady…may she go far!
