RICHARD JOHNSON

TRACTOR DESIGN

RENDERING

Interior concept was based on a retro throw back style, taking cues from old metal tractor seat pans. The colors would be earth tones to help with the cleanliness and wear and tear. All modern equipment would beused with a bottom rotational steering wheel for optimum driver visibility.

HOW IT WORKS

The front piece and the rear of the tractor rotate separatley than the cab.

This allows the cab to stay level when needed.

The hubless wheels allow the tractor to

adjust its ride height.

This is benefi cial for spraying andcultivating corn.

HOW IT WORKS

Testing was done with differenttypes of people both male and female. They were asked to pull from a regular gun holster and then used the works like model to test the quick release action of the design. The motion as well as the speed proved to be superior to typical holsters.

By instantly locking your arm, you are at your most stable position immediately after drawing your weapon.

RENDERINGS

The holster is a similiar size to most competitor’s. Although some hand guns may need specifi c alterations to fi t into a holster almost any fi rearm would fi t into this design. The sleeve squeezes the gun to maintain a fi rm grip on the weapon and al-lows room for various sizes and models.
