THE FABRICATION OF A FOLDABLE CAMP BED
ABSTRACT
Camp bed is used universally for relaxation, emergency eases such as war and in other several ways, and it is the acknowledgement of these resources that led to the design of the foldable camp bed. In this project, three alternative design solutions were considered for the foldable camp bed. The authors utilize the local materials (with cost consideration) for the components. The main aim of the study is to design and fabricate a foldable bed that not only as a bed but more than that. One foldable camp bed will be develop as multifunctional bed complete with the variety of purpose which is light, comfort, more safe and foldable. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were set out as follows to: design beds invention is used as a place to sleep and as a primary place for relaxation, and design and fabricate a foldable camp bed that will be developed foldable, with lots of other purpose not just as a bed, light, comfort, and more safe and foldable. The merits and demerits of each of the alternative with respect to the considered group were also discusses and the solutions of the alternatives that best satisfied the limitations were selected for production. The material selected design and cost analysis, production processes and operation maintenance and problems encountered during the design were also included. This study will be of immense benefit to mechanical engineers, and researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Camp bed is used universally for relaxation, emergency eases such as war and in other several ways, and it is the acknowledgement of these resources that led to the design of the foldable camp bed. All the existing foldable camp bed, have almost the same dimension but differ in design. Some use rope and ailets while the modern design makes use of wood and spring. Some other are constructed using straight bars, pipes of angle iron.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
1.2 Background of Study
Since the Ancient World, beds become the common facilities for human. BTdS were little more than piles of straw or some other natural material. An important change was raising them off the ground, to avoid draughts, dirt, and pests. For example, Egyptians had high bedsteads which were ascended by steps, with bolsters or pillows, and curtains to hang round. Nowadays, there are many type of beds in the world wide market like air bed, box-bed, bunk bed, state bed, Murphy bed, iron bed and others.
As the result for the needed in community there are various type of foldable or multi use beds had been invented. Multifunction bed can be used and to use as a place to sleep. It is a luxury to have our own bed with lots of other purpose not just as a bed. It also comes in much type of beds and design. From the advantages and disadvantages of the beds in the current market, one new product will be developed to follow the specific and customer need.
Therefore, in Nigeria where the research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to know the Design and Fabrication of a Foldable Camp Bed.
1.3 Statement of Problems
The design process enables us to follow a systematic approach to design. The most important step of the design process is identifying the customer need. Nowadays, the current type of beds in the market does not fulfill the customer needs in overall. Clearly, all of us know how to sleep on a bed, so in that perspective, we know how a bed works. A bed is used for sleep. Unfortunately, the description does not state how the bed is made. There are some questions that try to be answers though this project which are:
- What material is used?
- Is the bed flexible or rigid?
- Does the bed rotates or fixed?
- What does it mean that the bed is to be used for adult?
- Is safety a biggest concern?
- How much the cost of bed?
There are many types and design of beds in the market. Every bed has different design, types and size but how far the variety of these common designs may help the customer or users effectively. There are some common problem can be detect at the beds nowadays such as big, heavy, only suitable for bedroom, not suitable for small area, hard to manufacturer, not luxury and not flexible, but rigid. To reduce this problem, one foldable camp bed will be development that has multi function, with lots of other purpose not just as a bed, light, comfort, and more safe and foldable.
1.4 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The main aim of the study is to design and fabricate a foldable bed that not only as a bed but more than that. One foldable camp bed will be develop as multifunctional bed complete with the variety of purpose which is light, comfort, more safe and foldable. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were set out as follows:
- To design beds invention is used as a place to sleep and as a primary place for relaxation.
- To design and fabricate a foldable camp bed that will be developed foldable, with lots of other purpose not just as a bed, light, comfort, and more safe and foldable.
1.5 Significance of Study
This study will be of immense benefit to mechanical engineers, and researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.
1.6 Scope of Study
The study focuses on the design and fabrication of a Foldable Camp Bed. The bed must be foldable, light, safe, multi use and friendly user. This new design may reduce the weaknesses of the bed in the current market.
1.7 Limitations of the Study
During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are:
- Time Constraint: The time frame given to accomplish this project was very short due to school academic calendar and it was carried out under pressure which made the researcher not to implement some necessary features.
- Research material: availability of research material is a major setback to the scope of the study.
- Frequent power failure: This made the researcher append more money on fuel to ensure sustainable power.
- Financial Constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet).
