Nyutveckling av hopfällbar kvistsåg
Sammanfattning: This Master Thesis has been carried out as a new product development project in collaboration with G-Man Tools AB located in Edsbyn. The purpose of the project was to construct a new pruning saw there the blade is integrateble in the handle, thus a foldable pruning saw. The work has been performed on the occasion of G-Man Tools AB wanted to improve their product range by creating a saw that complement their range of quality saws. They have a similar product today, but they do not manufacture this product by them selves and it is not directly targeted against garden use, which is a disadvantage when it is one of their major markets. Even though almost the entire chain from the requirements of the users to drawings has been taken into consideration, emphasizes has been put on generating ideas. However the first thing that was carried out was to establish a productspecifikation from interviews with users and the company’s experience. Next an extensive generation of ideas started where studies of other products, workshops and different kreativitymetodes where carried out among other things. The most promising ideas where further developed, evaluated and sorted out until only one concept remained. This concept went under even further development and several different prototypes were manufactured to detect faults and areas of improvements but also to hear what the users thought of it. The result is a foldable pruning saw with a belt clip. The saw with a button catch on the side of the handle locks the blade folded as well as unfolded. The design follows G-Mans latest pruning saw and the blade is modified after there existing manufacturing process. The handle has been developed in consideration of both function and ergonomics. With the help of the belt clip one of today’s problems is solved with this concept, namely the opening of the saw with one hand. This ought to give the product an obvious advantage towards other products that don’t have this feature.
