So the issue that I happened to come across in my house was a kitchen chair with uneven legs, making it so when you sat in it, you would inevitably keep rocking back and forth. As a solution, I decided to develop what I’ll call, the Chair Stepper. Shaped like a set of stairs, the Chair Stepper has an opening to insert the shortened leg into to help balance the chair out. It is shaped like a set of stairs because it has 3 different ‘settings’ if you will, in that if there is a more significant differentiation between one length of a chair leg to the others, you can accommodate accordingly. I’ve included a picture of the chair I plan to modify with the Chair Stepper, which has rounded legs with a 1.9 centimeter diameter at the bottom point and a 2 centimeter gap between the bottom of the leg and the stopper which is 3 cm. in diameter above it. Thus my design includes a 15 x 5 cm block with varying heights, with each of the three 5×5 cm sections having a 2 cm hole in the middle to allow for the bottom of the chair leg to fit perfectly. At the highest setting (meaning the leg is very different in length to the others) it has a height of 6 cm. with a hole that goes in about 2 cm deep. The next is 4cm tall with a 2 cm deep hole and the lowest is 2 cm tall with a 1 cm deep hole.
This is where I’ll include the rendered object (Chair Stepper) in Fusion360 as well as what it would look like in the real world. Please ignore that absolutely terrible crop in the real-world image, on Mac apparently the only smooth movements that can be made are from side to side and up and down. As you can see from the picture, the bottom of the leg would be inserted into whichever hole necessary to make the chair balance. Also, keeping the Chair Stepper elongated ensures it doesn’t slip around or tilt over, instead remaining flat, especially when someone sits in the chair.
That’s gonna do it for me Lucas. Remember, the most creative designs come from the simplest ideas and you are now in the presence of one of them. Enjoy.
