Armon Support!
« on: May 03, 2010, 10:45:54 am »
Guys,

I need your help!
Currently I am doing a research for a company about introducing a new product for MG that is ready to enter the UK market. First let me tell you something about the company:

Microgravity Products B.V are an industrial design engineering company focused on weight compensation products and is located in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Currently MG is busy with finalizing a new product focused on the window cleaners which specialization lies in the weight compensation of the pole. Especially for the window cleaners who are facing back, shoulder and neck problems this is the perfect solution! The product is still in the prototype phase but should be finalized within a few months.

Also the efficiency the new Armon offers is that in the same amount of time, the window cleaner is able to clean more windows with less effort. The window cleaner will therefore be able to clean more windows on 1 day and not feeling tired at all.

Of course there are new poles made of Carbon etc. But with this support product the comfort and functionality kicks in! The same movements will be made with the greater muscle. decrease and prevention of complaints!
With the medical expertise MG already has, they developed it!

Fill in the survey and you will receive 10% discount on your purchase!!!

By means of the survey we want to gain more market knowledge. For people who are interested in this product can fill in the survey and you will receive 10% discount on the product. Guaranteed!
It will take 2 minutes of your times and its like 10 MC questions.
Also i got the permission from my supervisor to give away 10% discount on every interested company.

Please see below for the survey link:

For questions or remarks you can always give your opinion.

Your effort will be appreciated so i can complete my graduation thesis!

Thanks guys!

Forgot to mention but

The raw draft is available. Just wanted you guys to be updated.
Please note that you have to wear this as an armour Like a bulletproof vest.
The bindings are not attached yet. The belts should be placed over your shoulders.
the middle pillow is where your back will be located.

I am still looking for those who can fill in my survey in order to finalize my thesis!
Your effort is appreciated!

Over here there is another invention called a "boy".
What you do is go down the job centre and hire one for about £5 an hour.  You don't have to strap anything onto yourself - indeed you would probably get arrested if you did.  There are plenty of them on the market at the moment and there is 0% strain on any window cleaner's joints who uses them.  The only stipulation is that they must be at least 16 years old.

I saw something similar in the toll both museum in Aberdeen.


I think that was used for medieval torture though............ ;)

Does it collapse down to a storeable size?

How long does it take to put on take off?

How will I clean downstairs windows/windows between a conservatory and fence?

Can see its application for large commercial jobs, but looks limited for domestic.

Isn't this product very similar to what mobile Film cameramen use, I know theirs is dampened so they can run and still shoot a steady film but it looks a very similar product.

He started this post on the general cleaning side and I thought it looked like a spliff holder designed in a coffee shop - I did do my best to help

Ive just filled in the online survey and looked at the pictures again. I mentioned about the elbow being a ball joint but I see that the pivot point is off the shoulder. I want to add that I do a great deal of stretching from cherry pickers to reach far onto supermarket roofs.

I do this but would not expect an employee to practise unsafe practises but with this on and the forearm section having either a sliding clip on extension or fitted telescope extension it would take the need to overstretch on my works.


If you want to call me (from tomorrow) I will be happy to talk 07919 425664

guys come on! haha
we are serious and MG has the (medical) expertise of weight compensation systems. Look up the armon office or armon wheelchair.
We are still looking for the new Armon .... name, anybody has some ideas? haha and serious ones this time!

also i am getting an global idea of the vision of the window cleaners. Everybody please fill in the survey.
it is also meant for my graduation report and the realibility and credibility increases with more applications.

Also people who entered their company info etc. you will be updated with the latest developments.
do not worry, and if people leave questions in the last box, please make sure your email is written in order for me to reply haha!
