Abstract
Arthritis is a medical condition that causes joint inflammation, stiffness, and resulting pain. This disease affects an estimated 40 million Americans, with a positive correlation towards old age. Opening medication bottles can be difficult for arthritis patients who struggle to open twist lids, snap lids, and click-locks. Janet Kramer is an arthritis patient that struggles to open her medicine bottles. This solution uses a sliding mechanism that requires no twisting motion and little force. The mechanism is operated by pulling on a rod, and pushing down. The downwards motion creates a class one lever that uses the shell of the bottle as a fulcrum. The effort force is magnified by a mechanical advantage to lift the cap. This solution will be designed according to design specifications and evaluated with the performance benchmarks. If the concept performs unsatisfactorily, the design process will reiterate until the problem is solved for the stakeholder.
