“This product will revolutionize how cripples consume coffee for the next millennia”-Benjamin Fenyves

Many Americans have lost their fingers through accidents or war and now have trouble holding coffee mugs

90% of cripples missing a finger or more spill coffee on their shirts at least once a week

47% of cripples said they simply stopped drinking coffee because of difficulties with their mugs

A shocking 3,000,000 cripples had to get surgery for burnt chest syndrome, a deadly condition wrought on by frequent exposure to hot liquids

Gripping a coffee mug

Multitasking whilst drinking coffee

Mugs for the Mutilated can make any handicapped individual grip a mug with one hand as long as they have one finger

Our new innovative design will free up the other hand of any cripple, making their lives more efficient and easy

Mission Statement:

For this project our mission is to design a coffee mug that a handicap person with only one finger could use.

The design our team of engineers has developed is a mug with a hole for a finger curved allowing for grip with just one finger

Even people without disabilities can use them, would still be marketable to all consumers

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Different size fingers and fingers missing

Spinning out of hand Hot coffee burning

hand or finger

Custom S,M,L hole sizes as well as custom to which finger utilized

If there is much trouble with spinning, lip can be added to rim of mug

Mug is made of UHTC

Unlicensed Home Toilet Cleaner Ultimate Haitian Track Competition Unlimited Hairless Tiger Cubs Underwater Highway To Chicago

UHTC stands for Ultra High Temperature Ceramic

These ceramics are used by NASA to resist the heat of their engines

Can resist temperatures of up to 2000 degrees Celsius

Our engineers have put together a clay prototype that you can see here representing what the final product will look like

Finished product will be lighter and more aesthetic

There were many difficulties in making this design such as choosing between many great ideas

This design could really make in impact on peoples lives to help them live more comfortably
