Used wheelchairs

. Rollst?e are considered as Hilfsmittel.. and look often also in such a way. How it goes differently, Industrial PDD shows. A Designb?, with his intelligent Rollst?en enormously grew. •. He wanted to eat only an ice. The ice lay in the ice chest. Stood in the course of a hospital. „.Der stood for rum there in such a way ", says Stefan Lippert, „.mir was boring, therefore I had snatched him me and had driven off. Highly the edge was deep, saß. Stefan Lippert. He did not come ran to his ice does not help himself to kö.nnen with the simplest things. Pure coincidence that it experienced this Gefü.hl, Lippert is not healthy, it needs a wheelchair. „.Doch it was my Schlü.sselerlebnis ", says he „.Wer in the wheelchair sits, is not any longer the person, who was he times, even if he comes well from A to B. A zumutung always looks up to mü.ssen, if one talks with recovering, that is. This experience has something effectuation with me. Rollstü.hle, hospital beds, Scooter, going and stair climbing assistance. Lippert, 43, sits in the respected stick of a glä.sernen Bü.roturms, in the middle in the heart of Stuttgart. IP dd deer half finished steel products got and are successful Design prices for many years on the market. Perhaps lip RTS success is because of what one does not learn on the university. The form is to follow the function –. that is in the meantime common property/knowledge. That the form however the Gefü.hl to follow is not –. that is selbstverstä.ndlich. As Lippert before the ice chest saß., he was still a Design student and tried, hineinzufü.hlen into a wheelchair user. It noticed that a wheelchair user is humans, who have one often eingeschrä.nkte relationship to what surrounds it. And humans, who must stä.ndig spü.ren that he is handicapped. Even if it not mö.chte that because of him a giant expenditure is operated, by which it the special case becomes. The cash logic: Rollstü.hle mü.ssen zweckmä.ß.ig its. How one looks in them, is all the same. He saw ramps, it saw expensive obstruct-fair Arbeitsplä.tze, it saw complex arranged Kü.chen, their Oberschrä.nke and sill plates lowers himself ließ.en. „.Ich found the vö.llig absurd ", remembers to Lippert, „.also I had turned the Spieß.. Therefore it designed a wheelchair with an elevator mechanism, which can bugsieren the driver by hand or by means of electrical connection steplessly into the Hö.he. This wheelchair, the „.Lift ", there for 13 years, it is costs 5000 euro and is in the meantime a classical author. That is an achievement, because this market does not honor innovations and Design. Since April they recruit besides their suppliers by advertisement –. that concerning the price gü.nstigste offer are the addition gotten. As on the Pharmamarkt, where ä.hnliche rules apply, the prices fall and grow the chances fü.r cheap imported goods. In addition comes: Rollstü.hle are considered as „.Hilfsmittel ". According to aid listing mü.ssen she „.ausreichend and zweckmä.ß.ig "its, says Norbert stone, Geschä.ftsfü.hrer of the federal guild federation fü.r Orthopä.die-Technik. They mü.ssen the handicapped one reliably from A to B do not bring, and more. „.Alles further one is additional payment ", says stone. Only heavily ü.ber can development costs be against-financed high Stü.ckzahlen, and manufacturing plants specially fü.r new products to verä.ndern is often too expensive. All this collected fü.hrt to stagnation. „.Design costs ", says January Wolter of the branch federation Spectaris. On the distance the customers remain and even since a Rü.ckenmarksblutung querschnittsgelä.hmt. „.Also not so a sprichwö.rtlichen Compulsory health insurance scheme Chopper with 25 kilograms weight. So handicap-mobilely with cross-hatched cover and high side parts." However tä.ten itself many handicapped ones also with the thought heavily to invest own money into a wheelchair criticizes Rietz. „.Die expectation attitude to the Kostenträ.ger is much ausgeprä.gt." Unfortunately it also the producers did not make for their customer easy. „.Finanzierungsmodelle as during the car, and about payment by instalments, credits –. that do not offer the manufacturers. Who wants to score as designers on this market, needs thus forms and functions, at which no health insurance company goes past. Fü.r humans ready are, also their own money on the table to blä.ttern. And it needs partners, which carry development costs. „.Wir had always already an eye fü.r Design ", say Geschä.ftsfü.hrer Jö.rg Sä.ttele. With Lippert the Sä.tteles found a Gleichgesinnten. we want to drive mö.glichst to „.Den an aid character small ", say Sä.ttele, „.die person is in the foreground. Which, lä.sst see themselves the heiß.t good to the Rollstü.hlen, which sketched Industrial PDD since then fü.r pro Activ. The user is to identify itself with the wheelchair. With pro Activ are the customers humans, who love speed, about bicycle or motorradfahrer after an accident. „.Und motorradfahrer are technikaffin ", say Thomas Hentges, leader Design with Industrial PDD. „.Das must take up the wheelchair. Motorrä.der do not have many Frä.steile, the engine are visibly, there everything are disguised. They work by their function." The Rollstü.hle of IPDD works ä.hnlich. The adjustment hurry rather as hidden out of gefrä.stem aluminum verstä.rkt are visibly formed. The Bespeichung ä.hnelt every now and then of extravaganten Mountainbikes. Nothing is verniedlicht, it gives no functionless Gimmick. The parts work statically and technically, are nevertheless mobile and easy. „.Design is not only Verschö.nern ", says Hentges. Thus what every other arranged product should also be today, no matter whether toasters, car or cabinet. Who does not succumb to the stigma, with which wheelchair users have so often to kä.mpfen: the helpless Mä.dchen, the pity-worth young man. Stefan Lippert does not supply patients, it provides humans Mobilitä.t. „.Und Mobilitä.t means the half life ", says he „.Es is a basic requirement in the society. The social life isolates us ever more. Humans mü.ssen other humans reach kö.nnen, no matter whether they are old now or broke a leg. Our products are to facilitate simply the life. Lippert does not make a difference between products fü.r healthy one and handicapped one. Industrial PDD sketches among other things obstschalen, Fahrrä.der and eyeglasses. „.Brillen are actually also rehablitation products. And with Fahrrä.dern humans extend his Bewegungsmö.glichkeiten. Both is regarded today as accessory, as mode. If we reach the same with the Rollstü.hlen, we achieved our goal. The designer has his own term of Schö.nheit. „.Schö.nheit ", always says Lippert, „.liegt in the person, who uses a product. An old woman about is schö.n, if she works surely and selbststä.ndig. I mö.chte of this positive Gefü.hl auslö.sen, this interaction of humans and environment. Well a product, which does not look evenly like the physical defect, helps Design width unit. Good Design is not only a question of forms and colors. It is a question of thinking –. and exact observing. Lippert played and was so finished wheelchair basketball after one hour that he could lift hardly more the ball. It won respect, which prevents that he offers any stuff to wheelchair users. He saw, like other users stä.ndig the Hä.nde scratched themselves, dirty Hä.nde. Them if zugehö.rt has, how they complained ü.ber Ekzeme, causes by Steinchen and Straß.endreck, which the tire treads tore upward. Who manufactures schö.ne of things, makes attentive on itself. And therefore for example medicine and rehablitation technology –. „.angeblich have no recruitment problems unsexy tasks of ermö.glichen groß.e Freirä.ume ", say Lippert. Try new kö.nne out one in peace, besides is not the field yet really ordered. „.Der before afterwards effect is enormous. If one for instance with table-ware compares –. is nevertheless only minimal the development steps there. For years IPDDs are clients in the Reha industry, pro Activ and talk nonsense, successfully on the market. Talk nonsense converts in the schwä.bischen Albstadt Tailfingen 45 million euro jä.hrlich as a specialist fü.r of boosters. There lip RTS of people were concerned with stair climbing assistance and small tractors. Fü.r Albers marketing leader Bernd of angel is Design not only a hü.bscher additive. „.Wir make because of the competition. Ü.ber Schö.nheit assign the customers to a product Qualitä.tseigenschaften. Auß.erdem prä.gt the Design our mark. We want away of, I need es‘. too, I want es‘. That is as with the autopurchase. There wä.hlen the people also sends aluminum rims. Without Design a manufacturer becomes hardly ü.berleben in fü.nf years. Angel counts firmly on it that the health insurance companies kü.nftig will pay less, the wheelchair users thus more carry mü.ssen. Thus the purchase decision moves from the cash to the customer –. and puts evenly also more value on the Ä.uß.ere. How heavily Schö.nheit can weigh, does not only show up in the increasing wheelchair paragraph. „.Schö.nheit draws attention on itself ", says themselves angel, to that with IPDDs outdoor wheelchair „.Adventure" a preisgekrö.ntes product in the Portfolio has „.Heute to announce better Nachwuchskrä.fte to us as frü.her. That is important with today's lack of engineer. And we squat here in the schwä.bischen Diaspora. The Design has us in the searchlight beam gerü.ckt. The success of their clients affects zurü.ck the designers of Industrial PDD. Not only, because they get Folgeaufträ.ge. They gained a good reputation. Only at first sight this history works somewhat wunderlich. Before approximately four years announces itself the company talk nonsense to Stefan Lippert. One has there a Russian, who looks for someone, which develops it such a thing like a man-basic robot in the west. A thing, which roll, stairs to rise and the user vollstä.ndig put up can. And is besides clearly more agile than what gives it at present on the market. Whether Lippert does not want itself therefore kü.mmern. It is the Muscovite Oligarch Oleg Boyko, ».Forbes«.-Liste place 664, geschä.tztes Privatvermö.gen 1.5 billion dollar. Boyko imported bananas and electronics, operated banks and an airline. Today he makes money with play casinos among other things in Russia, Kazakhstan, the USA and Latin America. Boyko sits for ten years in the wheelchair, after somewhat a mysteriö.sen accident in Monte Carlo. Talk nonsense is well-known also in Russia, therefore Boyko contacted the Swabia. And landed so in the long run with Lippert. It was the chance fü.r somewhat really new. It, Boyko created two years long designed Lippert with specialists of the Universitä.t pc. Lippert to ü.berzeugen: The Oligarch invested more than 2.5 million euro into the further development. For few months now Stefan lip RTS of new Scooter, the „.Luxx is series ripe ". „.Ohne our Rollstü.hle ", says Lippert, „.wä.ren we never so far come. Scooter, which are trolleys, on which one sees gewö.hnlich old people by the Straß.en ruckeln. „.Massenware with a deep-drawing hood drü.ber, verlutscht with round dents ", then wolf Geibel describes what the Luxx should not be evenly. Geibel is senior designer with Industrial PDD, he the development of the vehicle maß.geblich cared for. „.Wir however wanted ease, a clear structure. Ä.ltere attach importance on Design. Frü.her bought it schließ.lich also a car as status symbol." Therefore the Luxx playful is not easy, lä.cherliches part. The lines are straight, the framework are recognizable as frameworks. Obendrauf wedges not as as a klobiger chief armchair, but rather a seat bowl, which offers nevertheless comfort. Owing to the Rollis the Designbü.ro developed itself further to vehicle farmer. The Luxx made another company from Industrial PDD. „.Wir operated, say vehicle development "Geibel, „.und as a designer." They furnished themselves a workshop for screwing. They went to suppliers and tool farmers and made themselves ü.ber Materialstä.rken and Sandgussmö.glichkeiten smart. As small a part can be, before it breaks. „.Man wä.chst purely into the topic ", says Geibel. They pulled on fairs, in order to look whether they lie correctly. On one of the world-wide most important fairs fü.r rehablitation technology, the Rehacare in Dü.sseldorf, they got the innovation price. „.Die of people did not identify, say the Luxx at all as senior vehicle "Geibel, „.allein because of the Design." When they made their test travels into the Stuttgart Fuß.gä.ngerzone, the people turned and asked: „.Darf I also times. Thus they learned, what in it-puts in its Luxx. Fü.r Stefan Lippert schließ.t it the Lü.cke between „.Lifestyle-Mobilitä.t such as car or airplane on the one hand and the wheelchair on the other hand ". The Lö.sung fü.r the first and last mile of the way, with up to 25 kilometers per hour. Therefore it does not only focus the Reha market. There the chances fü.r the 4500 to 8000 euro expensive Luxx are modest. Lohre had inquiries of American golf course operators, those with the single-seater of more customers per day ü.bers Grü.n channels kö.nnen. „.Damit hä.tten we really counted ", does not say Lohre. Now it offers a gulf version, with broad tires and gulf bag owners. It thinks also of traffic in groß.en factory buildings and Bü.ros. one cannot drive schließ.lich to „.In Verwaltungsgebä.uden with the bicycle." In addition ließ.en to the Luxx problem-free Transportkö.rbe fasten themselves. At present Lohre negotiates with museums ü.ber a renting service fü.r erschö.pfte visitor. An Italian funeral entrepreneur from Modena announced himself, because its cemetery is like that groß.. Then wä.ren there still the closed senior populated areas world-wide, federal horticultural shows, halls, Flughä.fen and, and, and. Strained Gü.nther Lohre pursues the discussions around fine dust. ", he says „.Fü.r car closed Innenstä.dte laughing, „.die wä.ren fü.r us natü.rlich a mad thing. Still that is all Fantasie, nor the Luxx stands only into the Startlö.chern. Lohre applies it only for well two months. The Luxx producer pro Activ manufactured the first Scooter, is firmly sold three further. An American Groß.hä.ndler wants to remove 400 Stü.ck. „.Der market is close ", says Gü.nther Lohre, „.aber 1000 sold Luxxe in the nä.chsten year, that is our goal. Fü.r the designer Stefan Lippert is the Gefä.hrt already now a success. It is the entrance into a market of the Mobilitä.t, which is so promising that also automakers experiment such as Toyota on him. Lippert created that, because it is not too fine fü.r the Reha market, which follows own laws. Because it the world of the handicapped ones with the world that recovering verknü.pft. Because it recognized that these worlds so differently at all are not. Desk workers make today on average between 800 and 1400 steps on the day, the World Health Organization recommend at least 7000 steps. Two thirds of all adults in Western Europe are not sufficiently active according to WHO data kö.rperlich –. tendency rising. The health consequences one can paint oneself easily. Of the Gehschwä.che for handicap it is only a small step.
