Description
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'aide à la marche , de type béquille ou canne anglaise, et plus particulièrement sa partie supérieure servant à la préhension et au maintien de l'avant-bras de l'utilisateur.The present invention relates to a device walking aid, crutch or cane type, and more particularly its upper part used for gripping and maintaining the user's forearm.
En général un dispositif d'aide à la marche,de type béquille ou canne anglaise, comporte un tube métallique réglable en longueur à l'extrémité inférieure duquel est assujetti un embout anti-dérapant, et à l'autre extrémité duquel est solidarisée une poignée sensiblement perpendiculaire audit tube, lequel est prolongé obliquement vers le haut, ce prolongement comportant à son extrémité une pièce en arc de cercle servant d'appui à l'avant-bras.In general, a walking aid, crutch or cane type, has a metal tube adjustable in length at the bottom end of which is attached a non-slip tip, and at the other end of which a handle is substantially joined perpendicular to said tube, which is extended obliquely upwards, this extension comprising at its end a piece in an arc serving as a support for the forearm.
La partie supérieure d'un tel dispositif, c'est-à-dire la partie comportant la poignée, le prolongement oblique et la pièce en arc de cercle, est en général réalisée en une seule pièce, et le plus souvent en matière plastique moulée.The upper part of such a device, i.e. the part comprising the handle, the extension oblique and the part in an arc, is generally made in one piece, and most often in material molded plastic.
La solidarisation de la partie supérieure et du tube métallique est généralement réalisée par emboítage de ce dernier dans un prolongement tubulaire de ladite partie supérieure, disposé sous la poignée.The joining of the upper part and the metal tube is generally made by fitting the latter in a tubular extension of said part upper, arranged under the handle.
Cette solidarisation présente des inconvénients, notamment de résistance à l'effort, cette résistance étant étroitement liée à la résistance de la matière plastique employée et à l'épaisseur de la partie tubulaire réalisée dans cette matière, en sorte que de tels dispositifs d'aide à la marche comportent une indication de poids limite, qui est généralement de l'ordre de 90 kg.This joining has drawbacks, in particular resistance to effort, this resistance being closely related to the strength of the plastic used and the thickness of the tubular part produced in this matter, so that such assistive devices when walking have an indication of weight limit, which is generally around 90 kg.
En effet, les efforts auxquels sont soumis ces dispositifs d'aide à la marche ne se situent pas toujours dans l'axe du tube, et il peut s'ensuivre un effet de cisaillement au niveau du raccordement de ce dernier et de la partie supérieure en matière plastique ; d'autre part un effort violent peut entraíner la séparation de la partie en arc de cercle servant d'appui à l'avant-bras. Indeed, the efforts to which these walking aids are not always located in the axis of the tube, and there may be an effect of shear at the connection of the latter and the upper plastic part; on the other hand a violent effort can cause the separation of the part into arc of a circle serving to support the forearm.
Pour pallier cet inconvénient, on a propose de renforcer la liaison entre la partie supérieure et la partie en arc de cercle par un apport de matière, toutefois cette façon de procéder présente l'inconvénient d'augmenter le poids et le coût du dispositif. On a également proposé de réaliser la pièce supérieure entièrement en acier, ce qui lui confère une grande résistance mais augmente considérablement le poids du dispositif ainsi réalisé.To overcome this drawback, we have proposed strengthen the connection between the upper part and the in an arc by a contribution of material, however this this has the disadvantage of increasing the weight and cost of the device. We have also proposed make the upper part entirely of steel, which gives it great resistance but increases considerably the weight of the device thus produced.
La présente invention permet de remédier à ces divers inconvénients des dispositifs connus en proposant un dispositif d'aide à la marche qui présente une résistance à l'effort supérieure à celle des dispositifs existants tout en offrant un aspect esthétique amélioré.The present invention makes it possible to remedy these various drawbacks of known devices by proposing a walking aid which has resistance to the effort greater than that of existing devices all offering an improved aesthetic appearance.
Le dispositif d'aide à la marche objet de la présente invention comporte, selon une première caractéristique, un tube métallique supérieur coudé dans la partie inférieure duquel coulisse un tube inférieur, en vue du réglage en longueur dudit dispositif, ledit tube supérieur se prolongeant jusqu'à l'extrémité supérieure du dispositif, c'est-à-dire jusqu'à la partie servant à l'appui brachial.The walking aid object of the present invention comprises, according to a first characteristic, an upper metal tube bent in the lower part of which slides a lower tube, in view length adjustment of said device, said tube upper extending to the upper end of the device, i.e. up to the supporting part brachial.
Selon une seconde caractéristique de l'invention, la partie servant à l'appui brachial, ainsi que la poignée, sont réalisées en une seule pièce en matière plastique rigide moulée qui est rapportée sur la partie supérieure du tube coudé.According to a second characteristic of the invention, the part used for brachial support, as well as the handle, are made in one piece of material rigid molded plastic which is attached to the part top of the bent tube.
Le positionnement de la poignée peut être variable,soit au niveau du coude du tube, soit au dessus, sur sa partie oblique, soit encore au-dessous, sur sa partie droite.The positioning of the handle can be variable, either at the elbow of the tube, or above, on its oblique part, or still below, on its part right.
La pièce en matière plastique moulée du dispositif selon l'invention comporte une poignée et une partie en arc de cercle reliées par un corps allongé dont la face interne, en contact avec le tube coudé, épouse le contour de celui-ci sur environ une demi-circonférence.The molded plastic part of the device according to the invention comprises a handle and a part in an arc linked by an elongated body whose internal face, in contact with the bent tube, marries the outline of it over about half a circumference.
Ladite pièce en matière plastique moulée est solidarisée au tube coudé par tout moyen approprié, tel qu'un système vis-écrou, étant à cet effet associée à une contre-pièce incurvée disposée sur l'autre demi-circonférence du tube, les trois pièces en cause étant percées d'orifices disposés en regard les uns des autres.Said molded plastic part is secured to the bent tube by any appropriate means, such as than a screw-nut system, being for this purpose associated with a curved counter-piece arranged on the other half-circumference of the tube, the three parts in question being pierced with orifices arranged opposite one another.
L'emplacement de la contre-pièce peut être variable, mais il est avantageux de la placer au plus près de la poignée et même en regard de celle-ci, et d'utiliser une vis qui peut être introduite profondément dans la poignée, qui comporte à cet effet une réserve pleine de matière permettant un bon ancrage de la vis et augmentant la résistance au cisaillement de la poignée.The location of the counterpiece can be variable, but it is advantageous to place it as close as possible of the handle and even next to it, and use a screw that can be inserted deep into the handle, which has for this purpose a reserve full of material allowing good anchoring of the screw and increasing the shear strength of the handle.
L'extrémité supérieure de la pièce en matière plastique comprend un élément d'obturation qui est introduit dans le tube coudé et participe ainsi au maintien de la partie supérieure de ladite pièce sur ledit tube, tandis que la partie en arc de cercle servant d'appui brachial peut prendre différentes formes et dimensions.The upper end of the material plastic includes a sealing element which is introduced in the bent tube and thus participates in maintaining the upper part of said piece on said tube, while the part in an arc serving as a brachial support can take different shapes and sizes.
Le dispositif d'aide à la marche objet de la présente invention présente une résistance à l'effort supérieure à celle des dispositifs existants, en raison du mode d'assemblage du tube et de la partie de préhension, et il permet d'autre part la réalisation de formes dont l'esthétique est nouvelle.The walking aid object of the present invention has resistance to stress higher than existing devices, due to the method of assembling the tube and the gripping part, and on the other hand, it allows the realization of shapes including the aesthetics are new.
Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente divers modes de réalisation non limitatifs.The advantages and features of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing, which represents various embodiments not limiting.
