Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a handle arrangement, in particular a handle arrangement of a walking stick, in which an angular adjustment of the handle is possible.

State of the art

A walking stick provides the user with assistance in standing and walking and acts like a third (even a fourth) human foot. As you exercise your hand, your body weight will be transferred to the cane to reduce the weight and pressure on both legs. When walking on uneven ground, the cane provides additional support, allowing the user to better maintain body balance using the cane.

The commercially available walking sticks are designed in such a way that the walking stick is composed of a straight, hard stick body and a head part connected to the stick body for gripping. Because one end of the cane body is supported on the ground, some of the body weight falls onto the cane, so that the cane relieves the pressure of the body weight on the legs and knees to a certain extent. Walking aids also include hiking sticks, which help mountaineers and hikers walk. The walking sticks and hiking poles differ in that the rubber feet at the bottom of the walking sticks and hiking poles are different and the way of gripping the handle and the gripping angle on the walking sticks and hiking poles are also different. The handle of the walking stick is usually L- or T-shaped and runs parallel to the ground, while the handle of the walking stick is vertical and runs parallel to the ground. Since walking sticks and hiking sticks are designed for different operating environments and support effects, they can only be used for certain purposes, so their applicability remains limited. This may result in higher purchase costs if the user requires both walking sticks and hiking poles.
