Home Workshop Solutions Originator....... Tom Jeary THE PROBLEM:
The challenge was to provide a means for a quadraplegic to play
hockey in a wheelchair league. THE SOLUTION: As shown, the lower
half of a straight-bladed hockey stick was fastened to a bracket
which ,in turn, was held across the foot rests by two 1/4''
bolts and wing nuts for quick assembly and disassembly. At about
2/3 of the way back on the blade, "arm" were fastened that
extended about 4" and at a little less than a right angle to
hold the ball in place as the chair moved forward. Chair motion,
in this case ,was controlled with a chin switch.
