DOWNSELECTION - PART 2
Does it improve portability?
Does it keep the helmet secure?
Is it easy to use and/or assemble?
Is this something commuters can use consistently and conveniently?
VIABILITY
Does the solution seem unique and novel?
Is the solution better than alternatives?
Does the solution obstruct a bike rider's free will to choose or not choose to wear a helmet?
Is the solution applicable across contexts, such as with different bike and helmet sizes?
FEASIBILITY
Is producing this concept feasible within the time and resource constraints that we have?
Will the cost of production be relatively low?
Are the mechanics behind our solution technically feasible?
WHAT IS IT?
DESCRIPTION OF SELECTED CONCEPT
The Dial Clam Helmet Lock operates via a torsional spring mechanism that allows a helmet to be attached to the bike's frame using D- Flaps and cycle clamp. The dial mechanical spring lock helps in locking the helmet in the position. How this would this would essentially work is that a biker would first need to install the lock on the middle frame of their bike for consistent use. We envision this installation being either manually done or completed by a bike shop providing these parts, since the device will need to be bolted onto the frame or use another form of semi-permanent, stabilized adherence.
