# One-Hand Operation Extinguishers The 'Aim' Unit Makes Fire Extinguishing Easier in Tighter Spaces By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-09-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-extinguishing References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/09/19/fight-fire-from-afar/) The 'Aim' fire extinguishing unit enables users to utilize the device with [one hand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onehanded-controller) to ensure that safety and ease of use are top priorities. The [compact design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fl1-flashlight) of the fire extinguisher unit allows it to be stored just about anywhere without having to worry about space constraints. The [extendable hose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nube) on the unit allows it to be used from a further distance to keep the user safe from harm when a fire breaks out. The 'Aim' fire extinguishing device is the design work of Lin Zhang, Furong Zhang, Jingchen Zhang, Ziao Lin and Kun Xu. The unit could be utilized as an effective piece of equipment for homes or as a complimentary device for larger spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **One-hand Operation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for designing products that can be operated with one hand for increased safety and ease of use. - **Compact Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for developing products with compact designs that can be stored in tight spaces. - **Extendable Hose:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for creating products with extendable hoses to enable safer and more effective firefighting from a distance. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fire Safety:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the fire safety industry to develop more efficient and user-friendly extinguishing devices. - **Home Safety:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses in the home safety industry to create innovative and easy-to-use fire extinguishing solutions for residential settings. - **Industrial Safety:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for industries working in large spaces to integrate one-hand operation fire extinguishing units to enhance safety measures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shield-Style Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hussechuck-and-shield.md) - [Sustainable Fire Extinguishers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkfire-ltd.md) - [In-House Fire Prevention Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-fighter.md) - [Fire Suppression Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-detection-and-suppression.md) - [Assistive One-Handed Hairdryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-hairdryer.md) - [Levitating Firefighting Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefighting-robot.md) - [Compact Portable Campfire Device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firecan.md) - [Breath-Activated Flameless Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-torch.md) - [Air-Optimizing Humidifiers Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ph-air-manager.md)
