Drawing board for mouth artist

Anson is quadriplegic and draws with a pencil in his mouth. He needed a rigid, portable drawing stand, easily adjustable by his carers, so that he could start a college course.

A light folding table, attached by case clips to outriggers permanently clamped to the wheelchair, supports a photographic tripod lodged in rails. The tripod panning head is fixed to a horizontal arm carrying an A3 board on a vertically-mounted slide. The system has five degrees of freedom, with adjustment knobs colour-coded to guide the carers. Anson can now work away from home and has begun his college course.
