Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a socket, in particular a pedestal of a walking stick.

State of the art

Walking sticks are aids for elderly and disabled people when moving or for mountaineers or hikers for mountaineering or hiking. A walking stick offers the user an additional support point when getting up or walking, in order to relieve the leg joints of the user.

Conventional canes are essentially subdivided into walking sticks for grasping by hand and walking sticks for clamping in the armpit. In a walking stick for grasping by hand, a handle is arranged on the top of the walking stick, wherein the user engages around the handle when standing or walking and presses the walking stick with force against the ground. In a walking stick for clamping in the armpit, an arcuate crossbar is arranged on the upper part of the walking stick, on which the armpit of the arm can be supported so that the user when raising or running the crossbar clamped under the arm and presses the walking stick with force against the ground , On the lower end of a conventional walking stick is often attached a rubber pad, which reduces by their elasticity caused by the contact of the walking stick with the ground counterforce and thus causes a damping. In addition, the rubber pad also causes an increase in the friction between the floor and the walking stick, which is an anti-skid for the walking stick guaranteed.

However, the conventional walking sticks still have some shortcomings. Due to the thickness and contour of the rubber pad, the walking stick can only be pivoted and damped to a limited extent, so that the handling of the cane is limited. Furthermore, the rubber pad is subject to fatigue of elasticity for a long time due to use, and thereby deteriorates, so that the rubber pad must be checked and replaced frequently. Further, the conventional walking stick is made invisible and can not adapt to the inclination angle of the ground, which easily leads to a shortage in the supporting stability of the walking stick. If the walking stick is tilted at a large angle, it slips slightly, endangering the safety of the user.
