Shopping assistant with interface for wheelchair users

The current options for manual wheelchair shoppers do not adequately support the needs of those bound to their wheelchairs. Our device provides a robust solution for assisting shoppers with manual wheelchairs by giving them the freedom to remain in their own wheelchair while shopping. A battery-powered (two 12V batteries) device will effortlessly propel the user through the store by way of two 0.44 hp motors, while providing the user with over 14 cubic feet of storage space in a conveniently rotating basket. The cylindrical basket consists of four compartments that can be lined with normal shopping bags for easy transport of goods. The device will be thoroughly tested under every reasonably conceivable extreme to ensure its proper operation in the applicable environment, including but not limited to: the navigation of inclined wheelchair ramps, aisles, doorways and check-out stations with variable load schemes. This device will not only improve the quality of life for manual wheelchair users but will also offer a superior solution for supermarkets at a significantly lower cost than current devices on the market.
