Entry Description

A tool which helps a visually impaired person transfer liquids from one container to another. It releases the user from having to dip their finger in hot liquid or relying on the pouring sound to prevent an overflow in a cup.
As the level of the liquid increases in the cup; the wooden indicator begins to float, bringing the magnet closer to the stainless steel frame. The magnet almost immediately snaps to the metal creating a strong 'click' sound. The sound indicates the user to stop pouring as the liquid is close to the rim. The stick which crosses over the rim helps in tactile indication.
