Literature study used to identify the problems and solutions of the existing design and to collect specification data and patent of an existing device before the development process of conceptual design is implemented. The conceptual designs have been developed based on product design criteria. The final design has been selected by using suitable methods which are screening and scoring methods. By using software Solidwork, the model of the final design has been successfully developed and used to analyze the critical component of the device. Result from the analysis of critical part indicates that the proposed design is possible to use safely.
