Bedside Rail Clip Base (CS-02)

For (With Whom)

People who need to set up clip-type items at the bedside.

Why

Mr. B, who has a high-level cervical spinal cord injury, lives alone and needed to be able to use the phone in an emergency while in bed at night. The clip-type switch he uses had to be fixed at just the right position near his mouth, but because the bed rail is a pipe, it was difficult to fix with a clip.

How

We examined the size of the part by temporarily making a plate-like piece that could be clipped to the bed rail, using cardboard and masking tape found at home. We also confirmed that providing two grooves matched to the diameter of the bed rail pipe gives more stable fixation. In the end, two parts sandwich the bed rail from both sides, forming a plate-type clip base fixture with secure fixation.

Outcome

Providing a base with a stable grip made it easier and more reliable to fix switches and other items to the bedside.
