Description
SECURING DEVICE FOR ELONGATED IMPLEMENT
This invention relates to a device for securing an elongated implement, such as a cane or walking stick, to a garment surface, such as a belt or other clothing item of a user.
Persons requiring the use of a cane for moving about frequently experience difficulties in retaining access to their cane before and after accomplishing tasks requiring the use of two hands.
Thus, for instance, in performing a task requiring both hands, the user needs to temporarily rest the cane against a wall, counter or other support surface which leaves the cane in an unstable condition and susceptible to slipping to the floor. This problem is, of course, well-known and long standing and a number of different solutions have been proposed.
For instance, United States Patent No. 4,958,758 (Tipple et al) describes a device comprising a wrist strap with a detached loop cord for retaining a cane. However, the use of a wrist strap does not provide a complete solution to the problem, since movement of one of the user's hands is constrained by virtue of the attachment of the cane to the user's wrist. Lifting the hand carrying the strap, for instance, could cause the cane to hit a nearby person or knock over an article. A two-handed function, e.g. reading a newspaper or eating a meal, would require prior removal of the strap and thereby incur the need to stow the cane.
United States Patent No. 6,000,414 (Crusor) describes a cane holding apparatus including a first strip of hook-pile fastening material, such as VelcroT"', secured to the cane and a flexible panel with a loop-pile fastening material outer surface with means for removably securing such panel to a belt of a user. When the cane is placed adjacent the panel with the hook-pile bearing surface facing the panel, the two can adhere together, enabling the user to let goof the cane and use both hands for any other task. However, this arrangement suffers from the disadvantage that the attachment of the cane to the panel by the hook and loop-pile arrangement is not particularly secure and can be disrupted by minor impact to the cane, for example by brushing against furniture.
Moreover, the cane is constrained in a fixed orientation with respect to the body of the user, such that bending by the user will either be not possible or will cause separation of the cane from the panel with the cane falling to the floor. Thus, while ascending stairs or sitting down on a chair, the cane tip tends to impinge on a stair or floor surface causing disengagement of the cane from the panel. The panel portion also tends to be large and conspicuous or unsightly, thereby highlighting the fact that the user is disabled.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for securing an elongated implement, such as a cane, walking stick or umbrella, so as to enable the user of such an implement free use of both hands for performing a task, while the elongated implement is securely retained in proximity to the user in a normally upright position preparatory to future use.
Accordingly, the invention provides a device for releasably securing an elongated implement to a garment surface of a user, comprising an attachment member having a rear portion adapted for releasable attachment to a garment surface of a user; securing means connected to a front portion of the attachment member and capable of swivelling with respect thereto; said securing means adapted to grip an upper area of said elongated implement for retention thereof free of the hands of the user when said attachment member is secured to said garment surface.
In a preferred embodiment, the device comprises an attachment member having a belt or garment cl ip, such as a broach clasp, fixed to the rear surface thereof. The front portion of the attachment member may be provided with a recess capable of receiving the securing means, which advantageously comprises a disc-like element adapted for insertion into the recess in a gripping relationship. The disc-like element is, in turn, attached to a flexible strip capable of encircling the circumference of a cane or the like and having means for securing together the distal ends of such strip, so that the cane or the like is gripped thereby. Such securing means may advantageously comprise a hook and loop-pile type material, such as Velcro. Alternatively, a press stud arrangement or a button and buttonhole arrangement may be employed or any other securing mechanism which permits ready and quick release, preferably utilizing one hand only.
Another preferred embodiment of the invention provides a belt or garment clip device that is essentially square and consists of an outer back plate with a clip securely fastened thereon, a middle spacer portion which is shaped and dimensioned to receive a male fastening member in clipping engagement. An outer front receptacle plate with a female slot portion is shaped to accommodate and cooperate with a male member to facilitate fastening contact. The device further comprises an adaptor strip with a male member secured thereon. The adaptor strip consists of two pieces of hook and loop fastening material, such as two corresponding pieces of Velcro~ located on opposite sides of the adaptor strip. One side of the adaptor strip is also provided with a strip of a non-slip material, such as rubber, such that the non-slip material overlays and surrounds the cane, or any other elongated implement, for suspension thereof. On the side opposing the non-slip material, a male member element, such as a button or a nut, or any other protruding element of an appropriate shape, for instance disc shaped, is secured thereon.
Therefore, in accordance with the preferred use of the present connector assembly, the present invention provides an adaptor strip that can be secured to a cane thereby providing the cane with a male member element required for cooperation with the female receptacle of the clip device of the present invention. The cooperation of the male member of the adaptor strip that has been fastened onto a cane, with the female receptacle of the clip device affixed to a user's belt allows the cane user to secure a cane in a quick and ready releasable manner, thereby allowing the cane user the freedom to use both hands while additionally maintaining control of the cane and inhibiting its inadvertent fall to the floor or becoming detached from a selected support surface when the cane is not in use.
The characterizing features of the invention in a preferred form thereof include: a belt, pocket or'garment device that is essentially square and consists of an outer back plate, a middle spacer portion and an outer front receptacle plate. The outer back plate portion includes a garment clip securely fastened thereon, which allows for the secure and releasable attachment of the device to a belt, pocket, shoulder bag strap, or any other garment article or surface.
The middle spacer portion embodies an essentially U-shaped element that allows for the separation of the outer back and front plates an appropriate distance. The middle spacer portion of the device may be of any shape or width appropriate for the housing of the corresponding male member element accommodated via the front receptacle slot portion.
The outer front receptacle plate of the present device allows for the quick and secure support of a male member therein.
The receptacle slot may be of any shape capable of securely accommodating a male member element, such as a button or stud or any other appropriately shaped article therein. For example, the slot may be a V-shaped slot, or an opening that is enlarged on top and is then constricted or reduced at its base. The device may be constructed from individual plate and spacer portions or may be integrally formed as a one-piece molded plastic article, to which the clip or clasp is attached.
In addition, the device also includes an adaptor strip that is capable of being easily and securely attached to an object, thereby providing the object, such as a cane, stick, umbrella or any other obj ect, with the appropriate male member element required for the secure cooperation with the female member of the clip device of the present invention.
The adaptor strip is preferably a 1" x 6" strip of material, for example, rubber, that does not slip or slide down the object it surrounds. The rubber, or non-slip material overlays and surrounds the cane thereby providing the cane a stable and secure disposition and preventing the cane sliding or slipping relative to the position of the device.
The adaptor strip may also consist of two pieces of corresponding hook and loop fastening materials fastened on opposing sides of the adaptor strip, for example two strips of corresponding Velcro , such that the hook and loop fastening material strips cooperate to securely attach the adaptor strip to the cane.
The tightness of such attachment of the adaptor strip can be varied according to the preference of the user and in light of the potential robustness of use thereof. Moreover, the adaptor strip can be made of a slightly elasticized material or formed with an elasticized section, so that it can be stretched round a cane to give an extremely snug secured orientation.

The characterizing features of the invention in a preferred form thereof include: a belt, pocket or'garment device that is essentially square and consists of an outer back plate, a middle spacer portion and an outer front receptacle plate. The outer back plate portion includes a garment clip securely fastened thereon, which allows for the secure and releasable attachment of the device to a belt, pocket, shoulder bag strap, or any other garment article or surface.
The middle spacer portion embodies an essentially U-shaped element that allows for the separation of the outer back and front plates an appropriate distance. The middle spacer portion of the device may be of any shape or width appropriate for the housing of the corresponding male member element accommodated via the front receptacle slot portion.
The outer front receptacle plate of the present device allows for the quick and secure support of a male member therein.
The receptacle slot may be of any shape capable of securely accommodating a male member element, such as a button or stud or any other appropriately shaped article therein. For example, the slot may be a V-shaped slot, or an opening that is enlarged on top and is then constricted or reduced at its base. The device may be constructed from individual plate and spacer portions or may be integrally formed as a one-piece molded plastic article, to which the clip or clasp is attached.
In addition, the device also includes an adaptor strip that is capable of being easily and securely attached to an object, thereby providing the object, such as a cane, stick, umbrella or any other obj ect, with the appropriate male member element required for the secure cooperation with the female member of the clip device of the present invention.
The adaptor strip is preferably a 1" x 6" strip of material, for example, rubber, that does not slip or slide down the object it surrounds. The rubber, or non-slip material overlays and surrounds the cane thereby providing the cane a stable and secure disposition and preventing the cane sliding or slipping relative to the position of the device.
The adaptor strip may also consist of two pieces of corresponding hook and loop fastening materials fastened on opposing sides of the adaptor strip, for example two strips of corresponding Velcro , such that the hook and loop fastening material strips cooperate to securely attach the adaptor strip to the cane.
The tightness of such attachment of the adaptor strip can be varied according to the preference of the user and in light of the potential robustness of use thereof. Moreover, the adaptor strip can be made of a slightly elasticized material or formed with an elasticized section, so that it can be stretched round a cane to give an extremely snug secured orientation.
This arrangement furthermore permits the device to be used with canes or other elongated implements of varying diameters belonging to different user's or for a range of different sized implements of a single user.
The attachment of the adaptor strip to the cane provides the cane with a male member element required for the cooperation with the female receptacle slot of the clip device of the present invention. The cooperation of the male member of the adaptor strip that has to be fastened onto a cane with the female receptacle of the clip device affixed onto a user's belt allows the cane user to secure a cane in a quick and releasable manner, thereby allowing the cane user the freedom to use both hands while additionally preventing the cane from inadvertently falling or slipping down a support surface when the cane is not in use.
Moreover, the preferred arrangement as described above facilitates rotation of the male member within the female receptacle, thereby permitting equivalent rotational movement of a cane secured in the device, while avoiding the possibility of the cane being dislodged during movement thereof. This is an important advantage which facilitates additional degrees of movement of the user. For instance, if the user's cane is stowed in the device while the user attends to a two-handed task, movement of the user across a room may cause the cane to impinge on a furniture item. With the present device, the lower end of the cane can simply move backwards due to the rotational facility as the user moves past the furniture item. Alternatively, the user may bend or _7_ stoop and cause the lower end of the cane to impinge on the floor. The rotational facility will then permit the cane to slide backwards across the floor, rather than becoming dislodged or stuck.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a front perspective view of an attachment member according to an embodiment of the invention;
