Key turner
Patrick, who has rheumatoid arthritis, was unable without severe pain to turn the ignition key in his car.
A key turner was manufactured from pieces of aluminium angle which were secured to the key. A foldable pivot joint was included to aid easy transportation and give a levered-turning action. The body of the device was also twisted to ensure the lever arm did not hit the car dashboard when it was raised to turn the key.
Patrick can turn on the car ignition without experiencing pain.
