Portable recliner

Project Overview

There are handicapped people who require a mechanized recliner to sleep in, but these devices are too heavy and cumbersome to be portable and used when traveling. This device needs to be light enough and small enough to be transported in the trunk of a car, while being comfortable enough to sleep in and strong enough to fit the client’s requirements. The goal is to design it to be mechanically controlled to lower down to prone position and be able to lift/tip the person up to or close to a standing position.
