It is designed to fold against the wall when not in use, making it suitable for bathrooms or toilets where space is limited and a permanently fixed rail would be impractical.\n\nThe handrail is constructed from steel pipes, welded into a rail frame with horizontal supports, and mounted using a steel plate wall bracket that allows the rail to fold up or down as needed. Fabrication requires a welding machine and associated welding equipment to join the steel pipe frame and attach the mounting bracket.\n\nBy using durable steel construction with a space-saving folding design, this handrail provides safe bathing and toileting support in small or shared bathroom spaces where a fixed rail is not feasible.\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n! colspan=\"2\" |More Product Information\n|-\n| Author Code\n| CP003\n|-\n| Documentation License\n| CC-BY-4.0\n|-\n| Open Hardware License\n| CERN\n|-\n| Start Date (Development)\n| April 1, 2018\n|-\n| End Date (Development)\n| October 4, 2018\n|-\n| Designer\n| Aziz Wadi\n|-\n| Maker\n| Aziz Wadi\n|-\n| Main Materials\n| Steel pipes & steel plates\n|}\n\n{{Device data|making-instructions=https://www.appropedia.org/File:DS006_Maker_Manual.zip|design-files=https://www.appropedia.org/File:DS006_Eng_Dwg.zip|risk-assessment=https://www.appropedia.org/File:DS006_Risk_Assessment.zip\nhttps://www.appropedia.org/File:DS006_Test_Plan.zip|schematics=https://www.appropedia.org/File:DS006_CAD.zip}}\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n!

A maker manual provides step-by-step instructions for replicating the design, including materials, tools, and assembly guidance, so that makers in different locations can build the product accurately and consistently. A user manual, where applicable, explains how to properly set up, use, and maintain the product once it is built, helping ensure it performs safely and as intended for the end user. Together, these manuals make the design accessible to both fabricators and the people who ultimately rely on the product.\n}}\n\n== Images ==\n\n<gallery>\nFile:DS007 Image CAD.jpg|CAD Image of the Foldable Handrail\nFile:DS007 Image Manufactured.jpg|The Foldable Handrail being manufactured\n</gallery>{{Page data\n| part-of = Global Field Ready Portfolio\n| sdg = SDG10 Reduced inequalities\n| authors = Charles Vincent Barrete\n| organizations = Field Ready\n| license = CC-BY-SA-4.0\n}}"}
