Abstract

The walking aid has an attached stand which holds the walking aid in an upright position when not in use. The stand is constructed from an upper ring (4) which can slide vertically on the walking aid shaft (1) and a lower ring (5) which is fixed to the shaft (1) by a clamping screw (6). Three equally spaced struts (7) are pivoted to the upper ring. Each strut is attached near its lower end to a link (8) which has its other end pivoted to the lower ring. A spring ring (9) holds the struts in their retracted position. By pressing the upper ring downwards the struts are swung outwards until the links are swung past their dead centre position. The struts are then in contact with the ground and are held in this position by the spring ring. USE/ADVANTAGE - Stand for walking aid with struts automatically held is retracted or in extended positions.

Description

Einleitungintroduction

Bekannt sind Geh-Hilfen in diversen Ausführungen aus den ver­ schiedensten Materialien für allgemeine und spezielle An­ wendungen.Walking aids are known in various versions from the ver various materials for general and special applications turns.

Der Oberbegriff "Gehhilfe" erfaßt alle Geräte, vom Spazierstock bis zur komplizierten Krücke, welche zum Erleichtern, Unter­ stützen oder zum Ermöglichen der Gehbewegung, falls eine solche Behinderung vorliegt, die hierfür geeignet sind.The generic term "walking aid" covers all devices, from the walking stick up to the complicated crutch, which to facilitate, under support or to enable walking movement, if such Disability exists that are suitable for this.

Ein wesentliches Merkmal dieser Geräte ist die Eignung, zumindest Teile des Körpergewichtes in einer bestimmten Phase der Fortbewegung vorübergehend zu tragen, oder zu stützen.A key feature of these devices is their suitability, at least Parts of body weight in a certain phase of To temporarily carry or support locomotion.

Den weitaus größten Teil der Gehhilfen bilden die Gehstöcke und Krücken, die in der Regel nur über einen einzigen Bodenauf­ lagepunkt verfügen. Infolge dessen, sind diese Geräte nicht in der Lage, ohne die Zuhilfenahme eines Hakens oder einer seitlichen Gegenlage, in aufrechter Position vorübergehend abgestellt zu werden. Die tägliche Praxis zeigt jedoch, daß der Benutzer solcher Gehstützen sehr oft seine Gerätschaft für kurze Zeit beiseite legen möchte, um beidhändig eine Handlung, wie Unter­ schrift leisten, Fahrkarten aus einer Tasche holen, oder gekauftes hierin unterzubringen, zu bewerkstelligen.The walking sticks form the largest part of the walking aids and crutches that usually only have a single floor location. As a result, these devices are not in able without the aid of a hook or a side Counter position, temporarily parked in an upright position will. However, daily practice shows that the user such crutches very often use his equipment for a short time would like to set aside to act with both hands, like sub afford writing, get tickets out of a pocket, or to accommodate purchased things to accomplish.

Ein geeigneter Haken oder eine Ecke zum Stützen ist jedoch selten in Reichweite. Die Folge ist, daß der abgestellte Gehstock umständlich gehalten werden muß, hinfällt, oder andere darüber stolpern.A suitable hook or corner for support is, however rarely within reach. The result is that the parked walking stick must be kept awkward, falls, or others about it stumble.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, eine geeignete, leichte und einfach zu bedienende Vorrichtung vorzu­ schlagen, die an den meisten üblichen Gehstützen auch nachträglich angebracht werden kann und die Benutzung dieser wesentlich erleichtert.The present invention has for its object a suitable, light and easy-to-use device beat that on most of the usual crutches can be attached and the use of these essential facilitated.

FunktionsbeschreibungFunctional description

Die neuerungsgemäße Standvorrichtung für Gehhilfen wird zweck­ mäßig bereits werkseitig an der Gehhilfe befestigt geliefert. lm Falle einer nachträglichen Montage wird die Standvorrichtung für Gehhilfen als an sich fertige, funktionsfähige Einheit geliefert. Zwecks Montage entfernt man erst den Druckaufnehmer (16) wie auf Fig. 1 dargestellt und schiebt sodann die Standvorrichtung für Gehhilfen dermaßen auf die Rohrstange (1), daß der feste Ring (5) unmittelbar oberhalb des Druckaufnehmers (16) mit Spannschraube (6) befestigt werden kann.The new stand device for walking aids is conveniently delivered already attached to the walking aid at the factory. In the event of retrofitting, the standing device for walking aids is supplied as a functional unit that is ready to use. For the purpose of assembly, first remove the pressure sensor ( 16 ) as shown in Fig. 1 and then slide the stand device for walking aids onto the tubular rod ( 1 ) in such a way that the fixed ring ( 5 ) immediately above the pressure sensor ( 16 ) with clamping screw ( 6 ) can be attached.

Zwecks Ausfahren der Standvorrichtung für Gehhilfen in die Arbeitsposition (Fig. 2), übt man einen Druck in Richtung des Druckaufnehmers (16) auf den beweglichen Ring (4) mit der Hand aus. Behinderte Personen z. B. mit Rheuma-Beschwerden an den Händen, können sich des Rundkopfbolzens (13) bedienen. In order to extend the standing device for walking aids into the working position ( FIG. 2), pressure is exerted on the movable ring ( 4 ) by hand in the direction of the pressure sensor ( 16 ). Disabled people e.g. B. with rheumatism complaints on the hands, can use the round head bolt ( 13 ).

Zum Einfahren in die Ruheposition (Fig. 1) kann man entweder den beweglichen Ring (4) oder den Rundkopfbolzen (13) nach oben, Richtung Griffel (2) drücken, oder die Kugel (15), welche an der Schnur (14) befestigt ist, nach oben in Richtung des Griffels (2) ziehen.To move into the rest position ( Fig. 1) you can either press the movable ring ( 4 ) or the round head bolt ( 13 ) upwards, in the direction of the stylus ( 2 ), or the ball ( 15 ), which attaches to the cord ( 14 ) pull upwards in the direction of the stylus ( 2 ).

Das Vorhandensein dieser Schnur (14) ermöglicht es, gegebenenfalls, die komplette Unterarmgehstütze (1) an einer geeigneten Vorrichtung wie z. B. Garderobenhaken aufzunehmen.The presence of this cord ( 14 ) allows, if necessary, the complete forearm crutch ( 1 ) on a suitable device such. B. Cloakroom hooks.

In ausgefahrener Position, nach Fig. 2 berührt der Druckauf­ nehmer (16) den Boden nicht mehr, da der Federring (9) nach Überwindug des toten Punktes der Kinematik, die langen Stützhebel (7) wieder in Schließrichtung drückt.In the extended position, as shown in FIG. 2, the pressure sensor ( 16 ) no longer touches the floor, since the spring ring ( 9 ), after overcoming the dead point of the kinematics, presses the long support lever ( 7 ) again in the closing direction.

Die kurzen Stützhebel (8) mit den Gelenkachsen (11) und (12) ergeben die Kinematik der langen Stützhebel (7) über die Gelenkachse (10) .The short support levers ( 8 ) with the articulated axes ( 11 ) and ( 12 ) result in the kinematics of the long support levers ( 7 ) via the articulated axis ( 10 ).
