Diagonal-oval ErgoSystemfor sanitary applications

492

Spanning many generations

FSB has been a source ofhandle culture for over 120years now. It was graphic designer-cum-philosopher Otl Aicher who, in the early1980s, urged us to considerwhat operating a handle actually involves, and thiseventually led to us formulatingour “four-point guide to goodgrip”. Since then it has beenthe norm at FSB to considerergonomic parameters whendesigning products.

Barrier-free handle culture

FSB’s expertise in the sphereof door pulls has now beenapplied to designing barrier-free products for sanitary applications. The new diagonal-oval ErgoSystem draws rigorously on the laws of ergonomics. The new grabhandle system offers the elderly and infirm in particularan ideal means of self-help byproviding physical support inthe sanitary and general domestic spheres and has,therefore, a strong social component. The system is anaid to activity, imparting a sense of safety and hence enhancing the quality of life.An expert’s report by the German Society for GeriatricEngineering expressly confirmsthe high functional value ofFSB’s ErgoSystem.

Natural grip

If you press the tips of yourthumb and forefinger together,you may be surprised to disco-ver you have created an ovalhollow in between. FSB’s ergo-nomic new handle conceptputs this simple observation togood effect. An oval form pro-vides the ideal cross-sectionfor a handle because it is sonatural. This holds especiallytrue if the oval section is thentilted through 45 degrees-diagonal angling that accordswell with the movementthrough space our hands describe when taking hold ofan object. The equation

diagonal + oval = optimum grip

is what makes FSB’s latest ErgoSystem design so unique:this combination makes it easier to get a firm grip, some-thing that is particularly crucialfor the elderly or infirm.

493

The products covered in theErgoSystem section likewiseundergo stringent quality con-trol at our works. They have al-so been submitted to the Rhi-neland Technical InspectionAgency and the German Socie-ty for Geriatric Engineering tobe examined and validatedagainst quality and safety re-quirements.

All products have been accor-ded the following quality kite-marks:

We can forward the relevantcertificates upon request.

The enclosing action

A basic distinction can be madebetween enclosing and takinghold of an object. With the latter action, only parts of thefingers come into contact withthe object, hence force is onlyintermittently applied by one onthe other. With the enclosingaction, by contrast, the wholeof the hand comes into play,allowing the full force availableto be harnessed. This is themost spontaneous kind of grip,one we all instinctively adoptwhen we are forced to keep ourbalance or support ourselves.An oval cross-section accordsparticularly well with the ana-tomical dictates of the humanhand. Our hand encloses theelliptical section snugly. Pres-sure is applied evenly by allparts of the fingers and the bestuse is made of all the joints inthe hand, including the wrist.This means that far less forceneeds to be exerted than witha circular cross-section to prevent the handle slipping outof our grasp. The oval formprovides the best possible means of support whilst keeping physical effort low.

Sturdiness in the diagonal

The second variable for ergo-nomic design concerns the diagonal movement throughspace described by the arm asit seeks to orient and supportitself when taking hold of anobject. The action is set in motion by the shoulder joint,carried out by the hand via theoutstretched or slightly angledarm, and rounded off with anenclosing action. A sturdy triangle is thus created thatmakes for optimum trans-mission of forces from the body to the hand via the arm.We have accordingly opted foran oval cross-section for thegrab and support handles, setting them at an angle of 45 degrees.

The design concept

Form and function are as onein our ErgoSystem products.Their angled oval grip sectionsdeliver a high level of ergonomicgripping comfort and do notrequire dimpling of any type toaid the transmission of forces.It is likewise possible to foregoall forms of anti-slip surfacetexturing. Rugged fixing rosesmake a very reassuring im-pression on the user. Thestainless steel used is incom-parably sturdy and corrosion-resistant. It remains virtuallyfree of marks and scratcheseven if continuously subjectedto the roughest forms of treat-ment. The distinctive formalvocabulary of the elliptical gripsections combines with the design of the connector ele-ments to engender a sense ofairy elegance.

The striking design features ofthis functional handle systemare carried over in their entiretyinto the complementaryaccessories, thus ensuringend-to-end design schemes forshowers, baths, washstandsand toilets. Here, too, our insights into the gripping action underpinned develop-ment efforts and gave rise tosome very user-responsive so-lutions: the toothbrush beakerholder, for instance, is tiltedoutwards, whilst the toiletbrush is at an angle conduciveto speedy removal and revertsto that position when returnedto its container. This reducesto a minimum the number ofhand and arm movements required. The quality of the ErgoSystem is the sum of itsfunctional support solutionsand its restrained, end-to-enddesign.

The Salubra wallpaper collection by Le Corbusier.

To get to grips with the pro-blem of colour fluctuations,Le Corbusier used commoncolour pigments when mixinghis colours. By a felicitous co-incidence, he was contractedby wallpaper manufacturersSalubra to develop a new col-lection in the early 1930s.Wallpapers are reproducibleand free of colour fluctuationsand thus accorded excellentlywith what he was after. LeCorbusier’s colour grammar,the “Polychromie architectu-rale”, was already highly evol-ved by this stage and testedin practice. The first Salubracollection comprised 43 uni-tone shades and a number ofdiaper and dot patterns. Hechose pastel shades derivedfrom the 12 base colours for

the most part, amongst themochre and earth colours, ultra-marine, “English green”, oran-ge, blue, vermilion and crim-son plus white and four sha-des of grey. The collection wasstriking for the way it seemedto be put together like a musi-cal scale. A slide device insample books enabled contra-sting colour combinations formain walls and smaller surfa-ces to be bracketed.
