Abstract

The crutch comprises of a material with high friction coefficient e.g. made of rubber at front side (2) of the underarm support (1). The crutch in the area of underarm support is formed in such a manner, by which the danger of toppling down of the crutch while leaning against a component e.g. table can be noticeably reduced. An independent claim is also included for an add-on kit for the crutch.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Krücke, die im Bereich der Unterarmstütze (1) so ausgebildet ist, dass die Gefahr des Umfallens beim Anlehnen der Krücke an eine Unterlage (4) (z. B. einen Tisch) deutlich verringert wird.The invention relates to a crutch which in the region of the forearm support ( 1 ) is formed so that the risk of falling over when leaning the crutch on a pad ( 4 ) (eg a table) is significantly reduced.

Die Unterarmstützen (1) von Krücken bestehen üblicherweise aus glattem Material, um ein Hängenbleiben der Kleidung an der Oberfläche der Unterarmstütze und damit Verrutschen der Kleidung (Ärmel) am Arm beim Gebrauch der Krücke zu vermeiden.The forearm supports ( 1 ) of crutches are usually made of a smooth material to prevent the clothes from getting caught on the surface of the forearm support and thus causing the clothing (sleeves) to slip on the arm during use of the crutch.

Lehnt man die Krücke mit der Unterarmstütze (1) an eine Unterlage (4) (z. B. einen Tisch) an, so rutscht diese, bedingt durch die geringe Reibung zwischen Unterlage (4) und Unterarmstütze (1), bereits bei geringer Schieflage (Winkel α, Bild 2/4) seitlich weg und die Krücke fällt um.Leaning the crutch with the forearm support ( 1 ) to a support ( 4 ) (eg a table), it slides, due to the low friction between the base ( 4 ) and forearm support ( 1 ), even at a slight angle (angle α, Fig. 2/4) sideways and the crutch falls over.

Es sind bereits Krücken mit Vorrichtungen zum selbstständigen Halten bekannt. So ist eine Krücke mit einem separaten Halter an der Krückenstange beschrieben ( DE 199 55 246 C2 ), mit dessen Hilfe die Krücke an einen Tisch gelehnt werden kann. Bei dieser Ausführung besteht die Gefahr, dass sich bei Verwendung der Krücke weite Kleidung (Rock, Mantel, Hose mit weiten Beinen) an dem Halter verhängt und damit ein Sturz provoziert wird.Crutches with self-holding devices are already known. So a crutch is described with a separate holder on the crutch bar ( DE 199 55 246 C2 ), with the help of which the crutch can be leaned against a table. In this embodiment, there is a risk that when using the crutch wide clothes (skirt, coat, pants with wide legs) imposed on the holder and thus a fall is provoked.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe einer sehr einfachen Haltevorrichtung zugrunde, die die Gefahr des Umfallens der Krücke beim Anlehnen derselben an eine Unterlage (z. B. Tisch) weitgehend reduziert und bei Gebrauch keinen störenden Einfluss hat.Of the present invention has the object of a very simple holding device underlying the risk of falling over of the crutch when leaning against it to a base (eg table) largely reduced and in use no disturbing Has influence.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Ausführung der Unterarmstütze von Krücken mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.These Task is accomplished by the execution of forearm support of crutches solved with the features of claim 1.

Wie auf Bild 1 zu sehen, ist die Unterarmstütze (1) an der Frontseite (2) aus Material mit hohem Reibungskoeffizienten ausgeführt. Die bewährte ursprüngliche Form der Krücke bleibt unverändert. Hierdurch wird selbst bei großem Winkel α (Bild 2) ein Wegrutschen mit nachfolgendem Umfallen vermieden.As seen in picture 1, the forearm support ( 1 ) on the front ( 2 ) made of high coefficient of friction material. The proven original shape of the crutch remains unchanged. As a result, even with a large angle α (Figure 2) slipping and subsequent overturning avoided.

Sinnvollerweise wird nicht die komplette Unterarmstütze (1) aus Material mit hohem Reibungskoeffizienten gefertigt, da während des Gebrauchs der Krücke die Kleidung in der Unterarmstütze gleiten können soll.It makes sense not the complete forearm support ( 1 ) made of high friction material, since during use of the crutch the clothing should be able to slide in the forearm support.

Es sind unterschiedliche Ausführungen denkbar:

  • 1. (Bild 3) Zur Nachrüstung bestehender Krücken kann Material (z. B. in Form eines Profils (5))mit hohem Reibungskoeffizienten (z. B. aus Gummi) auf die Stirnseite (2) der Unterarmstütze (1) angebracht werden (z. B. durch Kleben)
  • 2. (Bild 4) Die Form der Unterarmstütze (1) ist an der Stirnseite (2) mit einer Nut versehen, in die ein entsprechendes Profil (5a) eingefügt wird. Dieses könnte in verschiedenen Farben (Design) oder mit reflektierender Oberfläche (Sicherheit) ausgeführt sein.
There are different designs conceivable:
  • 1. (Fig. 3) To retrofit existing crutches, material (eg in the form of a profile ( 5 )) with a high coefficient of friction (eg made of rubber) on the front side ( 2 ) of the forearm support ( 1 ) (eg by gluing)
  • 2. (Figure 4) The shape of the forearm support ( 1 ) is on the front side ( 2 ) provided with a groove into which a corresponding profile ( 5a ) is inserted. This could be done in different colors (design) or with reflective surface (security).
