Ergonomics (Product description and Idea Trigger) [My design]

This is the cork screw. The rectangle on the bottom right is the cap to cover the sharp end. The handle is now changed to a rubber texture and made thicker. So that it gives the user a firmer grip when opening the bottle. Around the gears there, now it is coated with a rubber coating so that the user can hold it for support when turning the screw into the cork. It is as when screwing it in, the gears will move. And if there is no coating, it will pinch the user's fingers and may hurt the user badly. For the middle, now there is a plastic cover to cover it so that when turning, wont hurt the fingers etc. On the metal parts at the end, can just making thicker and carve some lines on top to make it easier to either push or pull. We make the opening longer so as to cover the sharp part of the screw. We can also put a stopper at the end as the handles are too easy to move around. So might move it around when not needed. That's why with the stopper, the user just have to unlock it to be able to use. It is more safe.
