Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gehstock.The invention relates to a walking stick.

Für behinderte Menschen mit z. B. Rückenleiden ist es oft schwer, einen heruntergefallenen Gegenstand, z. B. Geldbeutel, Schlüssel etc. aufzuheben.For disabled people with e.g. B. It is back pain often difficult to find a fallen object, e.g. B. Keep your wallet, keys, etc.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, die das Aufheben von Gegenständen erleichtert.The object of the present invention is now a Device to indicate the picking up of objects facilitated.

Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezug auf Zeichnungen erläutert.The invention is illustrated below using two exemplary embodiments explained with reference to drawings.

In Fig. 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Gehstock 5 in einer Seitenansicht dargestellt.In Fig. 1, a walking stick 5 according to the invention is shown in a side view.

Der Gehstock 5 weist im Bereich des Griffes 7 einen Hebel 4 auf, der über eine Halterung 6 mit dem Schaft 9 des Gehstocks 5 verbunden ist. Die Halterung 6 ist U-förmig ausgebildet. Am unteren Ende des Hebels 4 ist eine als Betätigungsvorrichtung 3 dienende Schnur befestigt. Die Schnur wird durch ein Loch ins Innere des Schaftes 9 hinein- und im unteren Teil des Schaftes 9 wieder herausgeführt. Das Schnurende ist an einem Greifer 1 befestigt. Der Greifer 1 wiederum ist über eine Halterung 6 am Schaft 9 so angeordnet, daß sein freies Ende am unteren Teil der Gummikappe 8 anliegt. Eine im Schaftinneren befestigte und über eine Aussparung herausgeführte Rückholfeder 2 bewirkt, daß der Greifer 1 in Ruhestellung mit seinem freien Ende an der Gummikappe 8 anliegt.The walking stick 5 has a lever 4 in the region of the handle 7 , which is connected to the shaft 9 of the walking stick 5 via a holder 6 . The bracket 6 is U-shaped. At the lower end of the lever 4 serving as an actuator 3 cord is attached. The cord is inserted through a hole into the interior of the shaft 9 and out again in the lower part of the shaft 9 . The end of the cord is attached to a gripper 1 . The gripper 1 is in turn arranged via a holder 6 on the shaft 9 so that its free end rests on the lower part of the rubber cap 8 . A return spring 2 fastened in the interior of the shaft and led out via a recess causes the gripper 1 to rest with its free end on the rubber cap 8 in the rest position.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Variante der Betätigungsvorrichtung 3 gezeigt. Diese besteht hier aus einer dünnen Verbindungsstange, die am Hebel 4 einerseits und am Greifer 1 andererseits befestigt ist. Die Verbindungsstange ist im gezeigten Beispiel an der Außenseite des Gehstocks 5 angeordnet. A variant of the actuating device 3 is shown in FIG. 2. This consists of a thin connecting rod which is attached to the lever 4 on the one hand and on the gripper 1 on the other. The connecting rod is arranged on the outside of the walking stick 5 in the example shown.

Es ist jedoch auch möglich, Hebel 4, Halterung 6 und Greifer 1 so zu gestalten, daß die als Betätigungsvorrichtung 3 vorgesehene Verbindungsstange im Inneren des Gehstockes 5 angeordnet ist.However, it is also possible to design the lever 4 , holder 6 and gripper 1 so that the connecting rod provided as the actuating device 3 is arranged in the interior of the walking stick 5 .

Der erfindungsgemäße Gehstock funktioniert wie folgt: Um einen Gegenstand mit dem Gehstock 5 aufnehmen zu können, wird der Hebel 4 zum Griff 7 gezogen. Dabei schwenkt der Greifer 1 nach hinten. Beim Loslassen des Hebels 4 wird der Greifer 1 von der Rückholfeder 2 wieder in Richtung Schaft 9 gezogen, wobei der aufzunehmende Gegenstand eingeklemmt wird. Beim erneuten Betätigen des Hebels 4 wird der Gegenstand wieder losgelassen.The walking stick according to the invention works as follows: In order to be able to pick up an object with the walking stick 5 , the lever 4 is pulled to the handle 7 . The gripper 1 swings backwards. When the lever 4 is released, the gripper 1 is pulled back by the return spring 2 in the direction of the shaft 9 , the object to be picked up being pinched. When the lever 4 is actuated again, the object is released again.
