주거용 소화기의 사용성 증대를 위한 디자인 제안

초록

This paper is on a new design of a household fire extinguisher with an increased initial responsiveness in case of fire. A publicsurvey was taken prior to the new design and 133 faithfully answered surveys among the respondents were used as the research material. Thesurvey was divided into the contents on the recognition of the fire extinguisher, the general requirements and improvement, and it was carriedout to be classified on the basis of the results. Design summaries based on the results of surveys conducted are: First, the distance of firedistinguishing material to reach was made to be controlled for more responsiveness in terms of functionality. Second, the head of the fireextinguisher is in red and the spray button is in luminous paint to glow in the dark in terms of visibility. Third, it is made smaller and added aseparate handle for bigger sized fire extinguishers in terms of mobility. Fourth, it is made in an aerosol type and has a friendly character on itin terms of approachability. Finally, colors of vivid tones, harmonious pastel tones or light greyish tones were used in terms of aesthetics. With the above study results applied to existing fire extinguisher design, it may contribute to reducing any fire damage
