Creative Design Prototype: Eliana


This is the idea proposed by Eliana for the design of automatic secateurs. It has a different approach than the conventional secateurs in that it uses a circular saw to cut, but also a belt to assist in cutting. More specific, the belt is placed around the branch and into the belt grip, pressing it towards the circular saw. As the secateurs operate, the circular saw spins and the belt is folded inside the secateurs, using a rolling mechanism. This puts pressure to the branch, towards the saw, making the cutting proccess really easy. It takes only one hand to operate the secateurs.
