Description

Crutch storage aid with magnets on the handles.

The majority of all pairs of crutches in use do not have any support for putting them down.

The few support aids that exist, e.g. the support aid with a lever that you put under the table and lever up until the individual crutch is firmly in place.

This parking aid is good but difficult to handle and not applicable everywhere.

The invention specified in claims 1 and 2 addresses the problem

based on:, .

- to create a support that allows a stable unit to be created with one or two hand movements.

To be able to lean this stable unit effortlessly without it slipping or falling over.

This problem is solved with the features set out in claims 1 and 2.

The invention ensures that the crutches, when folded together as a unit, hold each other in a stable manner and cannot fall over when leaning against each other. Access to use the two crutches again is easy and requires little effort.

An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to Figures 1 to 6. They show:

Fig. 1: the normal crutch

Fig. 2: an enlarged view of the front of the handle, seen from the front.

Fig. 3: an enlarged partial side view of the handle.

Fig. 4: an enlarged partial view of the handle seen from above.

Fig. 5: the crutch folded frontally.

Fig. 6: the crutches folded together handle over handle.

In the figures, the normal crutches are shown with handle (l) on the left crutch and handle 1' on the right crutch.

The three magnets were attached to the handle of the left crutch as follows:

Magnet 3 on the front side 2,

Magnet 5 in the middle 4 of the handle 1,

Magnet 7 on the attachment 6 of the handle 1.

All 3 magnets have a flat surface, are in the same plane as each other, have the pole of attraction facing forward and are opposite the three magnets on the right crutch.

The three magnets are in line with the surfaces of the handle so that the user cannot injure his hands.

The same arrangement of magnets was made on the handle 1' of the right crutch.

When putting down the crutches, the user can choose between two options.

The choice of variant depends on the available space.

Variant 1 Fig. 5: with sufficient parking space.

In this case, the crutches, front side 2 of the handle 1 are placed together with the front side 2' of the handle 1 '.

The magnets 3 with 3 'attract each other and hold the two crutches together.

You can lean on this stable unit.

Variant 2: Fig. 6: with little space.

In this case, the crutches are placed sideways on top of each other so that the magnets on handle 1 meet the magnets on handle 1'.

the magnets 3 with 3', 5 with 5' and 7 with 7'.

Both variants always result in a stable unit with two support points, whereby the necessary third support point is created by leaning.

The crutches can no longer fall over.

Access to use the two crutches again is easy and requires little effort, just overcoming the magnetic force.

Claims (2)

1. Support for pairs of crutches of normal design, each having a handle with base, body and front side, characterized in that the magnet 3 - with double effect - is attached to the front side 2 of the handle 1 , as well as the magnet ( 5 ) in the middle 4 of the handle ( 1 ) and the magnet ( 7 ) at the base ( 6 ) of the handle ( 1 ), with the surfaces all in one plane, 2. Magnets according to protection claim 1, characterized in that the attached magnets are in a plane with the surfaces of the handle, with opposite poles on the left and right crutch, and the attractive forces are large enough to hold the weight of the respective crutch.
