PADEP, Fall 2019

 INTRODUCTION
The Pfreimer Adaptive Equipment Project (PADEP) is a collaboration between
occupational therapy and mechanical engineering students at Penn State Berks. It provides an
opportunity for students to experience how engineers interact with a client during the design
phase for a device that helps people with a disability that today's market currently lacks. More
specifically, the device our team designed called Magna-Card targets consumers with hand
tremors or fine motor control issues and hopes to improve their quality of life by assisting them
while playing card games. The design consists of a playing card holder that uses magnets to
secure playing cards to a card holding base in order to decrease the difficulty a person with hand
tremors may have holding their hand of cards.

OBJECTIVES
This report exists to document the engineering design process that was implemented to
create Magna-Card from conception through its first round of synthesis and analysis. Information
describing why the device is important along with relevant background information on the
disabilities its target consumer may have will be included. In order to ensure a similar device
was not currently available on the consumer market, research in this area had to be completed
and documented. Descriptions of similar devices along with the results of a patent search will be
included to provide evidence for the need of Magna-Card to be created. Several design options
were considered which warranted a detailed section on these options and ultimately why magnets
were chosen. Creating a proof of concept prototype was both necessary and a separate section
related to its design, fabrication, and costs is included. A section specific to the production
model, available options, along with related expenses has been detailed followed by other
relevant business information such as target market and the devices marketability. The success of
the project relies on each team members contribution, and a section with feedback from all
project members has been added in order to examine the pros and cons of our design.
Everyone has the right to participate in leisure activities no matter what disability or
condition they may have. This device will assist an individual in being able to play card games
with their loved ones. It is a stable device that eliminates the need to hold playing cards as well
as any other type of card in the individual's hands. Individuals with fine motor control difficulties
as well as tremors would benefit from this device due to the elimination of the need for fine
motor skills. Magna-card will allow individuals to connect with their loved ones and improve
their social participation. Playing card games helps individuals cognitively by socializing and
using processing skills to follow the games rules. All of these contributes to a greater well-being
and more significant occupational performance in individual's lives.

LITERATURE REVIEW & BACKGROUND

Our device would help older individuals who have disabilities which cause issues playing
card games. Our target population includes people who have Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple
Sclerosis, Huntington’s Disease, Multiple System Atrophy and other individuals with irregular
hand movements such as tremors and chorea. Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis affect
approximately 1 million Americans each, while Huntington’s Disease and Multiple System
Atrophy approximately affect 30-50 thousand Americans. Some of the existing card holders that
are already on the market are shown below.

 DESIGN CONCEPTION

Identifying the problems with the card holders currently available to consumers helped
define the criteria needed for design conception. Current card holders all seemed to have small
narrow slots for cards to be inserted by the user, which for someone with hand tremors is very
difficult to perform. Also, none of these designs had a method for holding the cards in place.
These were the two major design issues we wanted to address.
Our first thought was to have a mechanical means of clamping the cards in place using a
series of levers in conjunction with a toggle switch. When this idea was researched further, we
concluded that using a switch still required the user to have some level of fine motor skills and it
quickly became a complex and expensive machine that would be used to solve a seemingly
simple task. So, we looked for a more passive way of holding the cards in place. That is when we
began looking into using magnets and metal cards.
For the design, magnets that produce lower magnetic field values were researched and
two options were chosen for comparison. The first option was permanent magnetic strips with
adhesive on one side that have a magnetic field at lower end of permanent magnet field strength.
These magnets can be seen on the top tier of the prototype that was made to demonstrate the
functionality of our design in Appendix E Figure E1. Using magnetic strips has several benefits
including easy assembly, they required very little fine motor skills from the user and do an
excellent job of holding metal playing cards or cards with a metal foil in place. Because the
magnetic design solved all the design issues that we wanted to address we continued forward
with the idea. There were a couple concerns that we came across such as the playing cards
needed to have magnetic properties, and that the magnetic strips might be too strong for the
application which led us to explore a second option, electromagnets. The electromagnet brought
with it an increased cost and level of difficulty in both design and building of a prototype, but
with a little searching we found a single 12 V solenoid rated a max pulling force of 100 N. We
decided to implement this along with a 25 Ohm variable resistor which allowed for the
adjustment of the magnetic field and holding power. See Appendix E Figures E4 & E5 for
images of the solenoid and potentiometer. To power the electromagnet, a 2 A DC power supply
was initially selected, but we decided a 1 A supply was safer and met the design requirements
better.

PROOF OF CONCEPT PROTOTYPE

In order to demonstrate how Magna-Card functions a proof of concept prototype was

designed and fabricated. See Figures A5 found in Appendix A for CAD images and Figures E1,
E2, E3 found in Appendix E for build images. To limit the build costs, 3D printing was
implemented for a small section of the final design which contained two rows, one
electromagnet, and permanent strip magnets. In addition to the base, 0.006” thick 430 stainless
sheeting was cut to the size of a playing card and adhered to the backs of several cards using
Loctite ULTRA gel super glue. While the cards were not designed for production, they allowed
proper demonstration of the magnetic features of the design. Future development of playing
cards with ferrous metal laminated inside the card material was suggested. A 25 Ohm
potentiometer configured like a rheostat was wired in series from a 10 V DC power supply to the
electromagnet. The circuit layout can be seen in Figure D1 found in Appendix D. The
electromagnet selected was rated at a max of 12 V with 100 N pulling force which is more than

3
enough for required application. Integrating the wiring, power supply, and potentiometer into the
3D printed base so that no wiring was visible externally required two holes be drilled through the
rear of the base. See Appendix E Figures E6 & E7 for images of power supply and potentiometer
installed. Once the prototype was assembled and powered up, the pulling force of the
electromagnet was compared to the permanent strip magnets. It was discovered that the
electromagnet on the lowest setting was strong enough to secure a playing card and offered a
significantly lower pulling force than the strip magnet. Pulling force of the electromagnet on full
power was slightly lower than the strip magnet. Ultimately the strip magnet proved to be the
cheaper more viable option moving forward to the final design.

FINAL DESIGN

The final design for the Magna-Card is shown in Appendix A image 4. When the Magna-
Card is compared to other competitor’s designs on the market there are several key features that
make the Magna-Card stand out from the rest. The large 0.5-inch slots allow individuals with
limited fine motor skills to easily insert and remove the card without worrying about having to
get the card into a little opening that is slightly wider than the width of the card. Also,
amphitheater design helps the player keep their cards a secret from other players as well as
allows for many different card games to be played. The magnetic strips hold the cards in place
even when the stand is bumped. This is a feature that is not present in any of the competitor’s
designs. The other cardholder cards are held in by either gravity or by being wedged between
two surfaces, so if the stand is bumped the cards will fall out.

Finite Element Analysis

A Finite Element Analysis was done on the prototype design that was produced. Even though
there will not be a significant downward force applied to the stand when it is used properly, a
force of several Newtons was applied on each of the top surfaces and the resulting displacement,
Von Mises Stress, and Strain are shown in Appendix C.

BUSINESS ASPECTS

There is a significant list of diseases and reason that a person may develop trembling
hands. Anything from Parkinson’s Disease to arthritis can make it difficult for a person to play
cards. So, there is a significant portion of our population that could potentially use this device.
We believe that we could market mainly to nursing homes. They would want to use this product
for their residents so that they would be able to participate in more activities and have a more
enjoyable life.
The cost to produce a full-size Magna-Card card holder that includes a 3D printed stand
along with magnetic strips to hold the cards would cost about $18.00 This doesn’t include any
electromagnets. We would then look to sell one unit for around $25 to $30 dollars. But if this
design went into production 3D printing most likely wouldn’t be used. Instead injection molding
would be a better way to produce more units faster and cheaper. This would help lower our costs
and increase profit margins. Even though $25 to $30 is priced well above our competitors’ card
holders which are usually in the $8 - $15 range none of these designs serve the same niche

4
market we are targeting. Because of this we will still be able to sell our products and be
competitive even though we will be charging more for our stands.

PROJECT ASSESSMENT

Ryan Bingaman:
After reflecting on the progress that we as a group has made, I believe that we all came
together to create a great product that we see helping thousands in the future. The team was
always there for each other to ensure that everything was going smoothly, and things were
always completed on time. Even through issues and problems that arose, we as a team came
together and solved them efficiently without hesitation. My largest contributions to this project
were finding, ordering and organizing the parts for our project. I also created the PowerPoint
template that we used in our final presentation and then presented it to our audience. I would
work on the next project with this group anytime because I have faith in the fact that we have
formed an efficient team with the motivation to succeed.

Layne Weber:
Looking back on our project I believe that it was a success. We created a product that
solved the needs of a portion of our population that couldn’t play card games due to trembling
hands. We faced some limitations when it came to our printing capabilities, but what we were
able to produce was sufficient to prove the concept we came up with. The main limitation of our
production design would be that the user would need to buy special cards from us or another
supplier. My main contribution was to come up with the initial design for the stand, then do the
SolidWorks modeling and FEA analysis, along with some other aspects of the project, and
portion of the presentation.

Scott Dolan:
Overall, PADEP was very successful for our team, and I am very happy with our team's
design and commitment shown throughout the course of the project. Early on we were faced with
several challenges including determining which option we should pursue, design, and build.
Once we were sure our idea was indeed novel and not available on the current market, our group
was able to implement the engineering design process from conception through a working
prototype and presented our project in a professional format to our peers, faculty, and other
attendees. My main contribution to the project consisted mainly of how we were going to
demonstrate the effectiveness of permanent magnets opposed to more complex design
alternatives such as the electromagnet found in the concept prototype. In addition to this, I
selected some of the components for the prototype, helped my team members with its
construction including the wiring of the circuit, and organized the development of the
presentation skit. While the prototype demonstrated the effectiveness of our design and use of
electromagnetic force to secure playing cards, it revealed at least one limitation which needs to
be addressed. In order to have the magnetic properties required for use with magnets, the playing
cards must have ferrous material either embedded within them or secured to the back of each
card. While there are metal card decks available on the market, having our own deck
manufactured, or supplying a kit to modify an existing desk should be further considered.

Tianna Arkey:
Overall, I believe our project was a success. We had a limitation of not being able to
create the full-sized model, but our prototype was very effective and showed proof of concept.
We were able to create a product that is not only easy but safe for our targeted population to use.
This device would allow individuals to have fun and enjoy playing card games with their
families or friends even with tremors that they experience. I am very happy overall of how
everyone collaborated. We all communicated effectively with one another and I am thankful to
have worked with motivated and hardworking engineers. My main contribution to the project
consisted of giving feedback on the design to make sure we would be creating a safe but easy to
use device for individuals. I assisted in the proposals and final report. I was also a part of the
intro skit in our presentation.

Lisa Martin:
From an OT point of view, I am very pleased with the product we created. As mentioned,
we only made a segment of it, but that segment is fully functional and easy to use, and I perceive
that it would meet the needs of the population it was designed for. Improvements could be made
to make it look more attractive, such as a plate to close the bottom so the wires don’t fall out, and
possibly embedding the magnetic strips into the device so that they aren’t visible, but those are
only cosmetic things. I especially like the concept of the electromagnet which allows users to
customize the magnetic force, and I think this would be a big selling point if the device ever
went on the market. My role in the project (aside from providing the original idea for the device)
was mainly giving feedback on the design and asking clarifying questions to ensure that we were
all on the same page with our goals for the device. I also contributed somewhat to the reports,
specifically in researching the population we were targeting, and helped to create and deliver the
presentation.

Eric He:
This PADEP project went very well. The team pulled together at the end and got what
needed to be done. The skit was very good as well as the presentation. I think our team had good
communication, as everyone responded within 24 hours and I would say even faster, as the group
chat was quite a success. The hardest part was getting started as we weren’t sure what to expect
for this project. Once I got a foothold of it, it became more and more natural. Getting to know the
other team members was also a great as I found out how lucky I was to have such dedicated team
members. While bringing the prototype to fruition, the team had chosen to go with a 3D printed
prototype for ease using my Flashforge 3D printer. My main contribution to this project was
figuring implementing the Solidworks CAD file created by Layne and 3D printing the product.
While doing so, I encountered issues with the cooling of the 3D structure which lead to slight
warping. I tested different settings with no success. Also, the 3D printer had a limit to the size
that it could print, which lead to considering redesign or scaling. We all managed to figure out
the size restriction and came to a decision to redesign the stand to most accurately match what
we wanted to convey to the audience. The next time around, I would factor in the possibility of a
limit within a technology and be better prepared before choosing a method to build a prototype.
With regards to the project, I think it is a very viable product. There were very few on the market
and we just need to whittle down our targeted market as well as brainstorm a better production
technique since 3D printing was too costly as well as time consuming.

Hannah Sell:
Our project and presentation went well. I was very pleased and satisfied with our final
project. The only limitation present was being unable to create the full dimensional prototype,
but I believe it was still effective. Being in OT and knowing the importance of individual’s
participation in everyday activities, the Magna-card would make such a positive impact on
individual’s independence and make them realize their disability does not define them. In my
opinion, I believe the reason our project is so unique is because of the ability to increase and
decrease the strength of the electromagnet. From an OT standpoint, the ability of the device to
function that way is crucial considering everyone’s strengths and needs are not the same. I was
extremely thankful to have been grouped with such motivated engineering students and believed
we worked very effectively as a team. Overall, I think we accomplished our goal of creating a
device that would benefit people with tremors and/or fine motor difficulties. My main
contributions were assisting in documents such as the proposal and the final report. I was
involved in the presentation in the intro skit. Also, I worked well with my team offering
suggestions and ideas for our device.

CONCLUSIONS

The Magna-Card has a lot of potential. It is one of its kind in its market for a card holder
for patients with tremors such as Parkinson’s, Huntington's, Multiple Sclerosis, patients with
brain injury, and other patients. This product would allow those patients to continue their love
for their game of cards for a low price. Each location could have multiple of these bases without
spending too much money. Even now, our current base price is $25-30 which could be
drastically reduced by buying in bulk as well as by a cheaper and faster production process. It is
possible that electromagnetic option costs could be decreased by designing our own
electromagnet solenoid that meets design requirements, but it would add a level of complexity to
the product that could be avoided by using the magnetic strips without sacrificing any of the
functionality of the stand. So, moving forward electromagnets seem like a less cost-effective way
to solve the same problem, but they could be offered as a custom option, which would lead to
alternate pricing.
Currently our design has 3D printing as its primary method of production. 3D printing is
too costly as well as time-consuming and is a technology that doesn’t have much capability in
mass production. In order to move forward with the production, we need to investigate further
production methods that are faster and cheaper such as injection molding. Also, design currently
has sharp corners which in the future we would fillet for a safer design.
To summarize, future work includes optimizing the design, finding and applying new
production methods, possibly creating our own electromagnet, and refining our target market.
When continuing with this project, another more official patent search should be conducted to
ensure no similar designs have entered the market.
