Abstract
This master’s thesis was about developing an integrated booster cushion vertically adjustable in two steps and it was executed in cooperation with the Division of Machine Design at the Faculty of engineering LTH, and Läreda Mekan AB. A booster cushion is a cushion used for children age 4-12 years and the purpose of the cushion is to relocate the child into an elevated seat position. A market analysis was made to ensure the new concept met the requirements of Läreda Mekan and end costumers. The analysis consisted of interviews with Läreda Mekan, car salesmen and end costumers. The collected data from the interviews was needed to establish the customer and company needs. A wide range of different concepts were then developed. Many of the... (More)
This master’s thesis was about developing an integrated booster cushion vertically adjustable in two steps and it was executed in cooperation with the Division of Machine Design at the Faculty of engineering LTH, and Läreda Mekan AB. A booster cushion is a cushion used for children age 4-12 years and the purpose of the cushion is to relocate the child into an elevated seat position. A market analysis was made to ensure the new concept met the requirements of Läreda Mekan and end costumers. The analysis consisted of interviews with Läreda Mekan, car salesmen and end costumers. The collected data from the interviews was needed to establish the customer and company needs. A wide range of different concepts were then developed. Many of the concepts were removed as they did not follow the customer and company requirements. The concepts which passed the screening process were incorporated with each other to create dynamic 3D-models in CAD. The most suitable CAD-model was then chosen and built as a prototype. The construction of the prototype was executed in the workshop at Ingvar Kamprad Design Centre, LTH. Machines that were used to build the prototype were a water jet cutting machine, bending machine and spot welding equipment. The final concept consisted mainly of new parts but also of already existing parts manufactured by Läreda Mekan. The already existing parts were used to adjust the cushion from the base position to the first height position and the new parts were used as an extension moving the cushion to a second height position. The result of the project was a working prototype which showed how a future integrated booster cushion vertically adjustable in two steps could work. (Less)
