Definitions
- the invention relates to a walking aid or crutch according to the preamble of the claim 1.
- Such walking aids or crutches are temporarily or permanently disabled People used.
- Known walking aids consist of a rod-shaped tube, yours in a right one Angle a handle and the clasp of the forearm support are attached.
- the length the rod-shaped tube is adjustable.
- There is one at the bottom of the tube So-called capsule with a circular disc-shaped top surface.
- a tube is welded to the rod-shaped part, the core for a plastic handle is required.
- the solution is more widespread, a plastic part that includes both the forearm clasp, the forearm support part as well as the rectangularly projecting handle as to fix one-piece element on the mounting tube. Both the steep Inclination angle of the forearm support part as well as the angle of the handle itself are not ergonomic.
- the steep forearm support part pushes when the smooth handle is loaded the broad hand lever-like forward.
- the walking aid must be actively held on so that after a short time blisters form on the hands, apart from that older or weak patients often do not have the necessary strength and are dependent on regular walking devices ahead of time.
- two common walking aids cannot be held by the patient with one hand, as is required, for example, for many daily activities can be if a hand has to remain free for a short time; for example when climbing stairs, when washing or the like.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a walking aid or crutch that is simple and ergonomically adapted to the needs of the user. Furthermore, it should be possible to prevent it from falling over by appropriate construction and being able to stack the walking aid in the smallest of spaces.
- the walking aid When the handle is placed between the forearm support and the rod-shaped part is, the walking aid can be formed essentially from a continuous part.
- the rod-shaped part is in front of the handle when running, so that the The point of contact of the walking aid on the floor is further forward than with known walking aids.
- the walking aid continues to move in the running direction and thus into the field of vision of the User, which gives him a greater sense of security, and also the patient can safely put the crutches on uneven surfaces.
- the disabled person sees the surface on which the walking aid is placed. This reduces the danger of the walking aid slipping away due to uneven floors or holes.
- the advanced point of contact promotes a longer stride.
- An enlarged one Stride length on the one hand causes the handicapped people to move faster Person and on the other hand the psychological advantage that the patient is less lapses, and therefore acts more securely.
- the rod-shaped part is the Handle and forearm support connected by a continuous tube.
- the pipe instead of connecting several parts together, the pipe only has to be connected accordingly be bent to ergonomic requirements.
- the handle is open the rod-shaped part resiliently supported so that a shock-like load when touching down the walking aid can be largely avoided.
- a walking aid which consists essentially of a continuous part is formed, the lower rod-shaped part, a Hand and a forearm support includes.
- the handle is essentially formed perpendicular to the rod-shaped part and the forearm support is in the extension of the steel part, so that the user must use this walking aid close to the body.
- the handle essentially horizontally and the forearm support inclined slightly backwards to the vertical. Due to the approximately horizontal design of the handle, the user can easily apply a weight to the walking aid.
- a slightly inclined forearm support allows for better guidance of the forearm while running because of the pulled the cradle of the walking aid slightly behind the user's forearms are angled at the front. This attitude allows the user a larger angle of rotation the walking aid around the touchdown point than with a vertical forearm support is to be realized.
- the rod-shaped part is adjustable in length and the handle is made of a resilient material. If the compliant Material is interchangeable, it can be optimally adapted for the respective user.
- the part of the tube that forms the handle is covered with a coating Hard or foam rubber, or a correspondingly deformable blunt plastic provided with ergonomically shaped grip grooves. The use of a where appropriate individual solution remains open due to the design.
- An optimal ergonomic adaptation to the disabled person can also be by means of a length-adjustable forearm support, the angle of which to the handle is adjustable.
- hygienic aspects also speak for an interchangeability of those coming into contact with the user Parts.
- the walking aids For the transport of the walking aids, it is advantageous if they are stackable or if the forearm supports can be removed or folded down. After removing the Forearm support can also be used as a walking stick.
- This construction results in two angles, one of which is the approach of the forearm piece to the handle describes while the second angle is off the neck of the handle on the vertical support tube.
- Has been ergonomically advantageous it turned out when the angle between the handle and the rod-shaped part is in a range of 60 ° to 80 ° and the angle between the handle and the Forearm support is in a range from 95 ° to 115 °.
- This has the advantage that on the one hand does not detach the arm from the forearm while running and on the other hand the comprehensive hand can not slide on the handle, especially not forward is levered. Deviations from these angles are possible and possibly dependent the patient's clinical picture (e.g. rheumatism). In such cases an individual angle inclination is generally possible.
- the shape of the walking aid according to the invention also allows it to be used as a grappling hook. It can be hung on tables, chairs, cupboards or over the angled forearm be, as is required, for example, when climbing stairs to deal with to be able to hold the free hand on the railing.
- the invention Walking aids serve as absolute, especially on a conventional wardrobe with double doors secure mounting when attached to its ridge, so that the second walking aid can be hung on the key or the button of a cabinet door. Such a way a patient can safely lean into his closet and operate it himself.
- the Closing the cabinet there is a walking aid at hand on the cabinet key, respectively door knob so that, supported by it, the walking aid hung on the ridge can slide down to yourself.
- the blunt, material handle and the blunt crutch capsule at its lower end prevents the suspended from slipping Walking aid as well as damage to the furniture or objects on them it is detached.
- the fitting cap the so-called crutch capsule
- the fitting cap is preferably made of hard rubber or an equivalent plastic.
- Your large-area essay with a diameter of about 4.5 cm in the rest position increases under load depending on, Body weight. This offers the advantage over conventional crutch capsules To prevent slipping even on marble or parquet.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gehhilfe oder Krücke nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs
1. Solche Gehhilfen oder Krücken werden von vorübergehend oder dauerhaft gehbehinderten
Personen genutzt.The invention relates to a walking aid or crutch according to the preamble of the
Bekannte Gehhilfen bestehen aus einem stabförmigen Rohr, an dein in einem rechten Winkel ein Handgriff und die Spange der Unterarmstütze angebracht sind. Die Länge des stabförmigen Rohrs ist verstellbar. Am unteren Ende des Rohrs befindet sich eine sogenannte Kapsel mit einer kreisscheibenförmigen Aufsatzfläche. Für den Handgriff ist an dem stabförmigen Teil ein Rohr angeschweißt` das als Kern für einen Kunststoffgriff erforderlich ist. Verbreiteter ist die Lösung, ein Kunststoffteil, das sowohl die Unterarmspange, das Unterarmstützteil als auch den rechtwinklig auskragenden Handgriff als einteiliges Element auf dem Aufsetzrohr zu befestigen. Dabei sind sowohl der steile Neigungswinkel des Unterarmstützteils als auch der Winkel des Handgriffs selbst unergonomisch. Das steile Unterarmstützteil schiebt bei Belastung des glatten Handgriffs die umfassende Hand hebelartig nach vorn. Die Gehhilfe muß aktiv festgehalten werden, so daß sich schon nach kurzer Zeit Blasen an den Händen bilden, abgesehen davon, daß ältere oder schwache Patienten oft die erforderliche Kraft nicht aufbringen und vorzeitig auf regelrechte Gehgeräte angewiesen sind.Known walking aids consist of a rod-shaped tube, yours in a right one Angle a handle and the clasp of the forearm support are attached. The length the rod-shaped tube is adjustable. There is one at the bottom of the tube So-called capsule with a circular disc-shaped top surface. For the handle is a tube is welded to the rod-shaped part, the core for a plastic handle is required. The solution is more widespread, a plastic part that includes both the forearm clasp, the forearm support part as well as the rectangularly projecting handle as to fix one-piece element on the mounting tube. Both the steep Inclination angle of the forearm support part as well as the angle of the handle itself are not ergonomic. The steep forearm support part pushes when the smooth handle is loaded the broad hand lever-like forward. The walking aid must be actively held on so that after a short time blisters form on the hands, apart from that older or weak patients often do not have the necessary strength and are dependent on regular walking devices ahead of time.
Ein weiterer Nachteil ist, daß durch die übliche Konstruktion des Unterarmstützteils samt Handgriff ein Ablegen, Anlehnen oder Anhängen der Gehhilfen nicht möglich ist. Erforderlich hierfür sind marktgängige Halterungen` die sich jedoch nur in hierfür vorgesehenen Einrichtungen befinden wie Arztpraxen, Klinikambulanzen und ähnliches Durch die gewichtsbedingte Kopflastigkeit der Konstruktion fallen herkömmliche Krücken überdies im angelehnten Zustand leicht um. Es sind zahlreiche Bemühungen bekannt, herkömmlichen Krücken Standfestigkeit zu verleihen.Another disadvantage is that due to the usual construction of the forearm support part together with the handle it is not possible to put down, lean on or attach the walking aids. Standard brackets are required for this, however, they are only intended for this purpose There are facilities such as medical practices, clinics and the like Due to the weight-heavy top-heavyness of the construction, conventional ones fall In addition, crutches easily in the ajar condition. There are numerous efforts known to give stability to conventional crutches.
Darüber hinaus sind zwei übliche Gehhilfen vom Patienten nicht mit einer Hand zu halten, wie es beispielsweise bei vielen Verrichtungen des täglichen Bedarfs erforderlich sein kann, wenn eine Hand kurzfristig freibleiben muß; beispielsweise beim Treppen-steigen, beim Waschen oder ähnlichem.In addition, two common walking aids cannot be held by the patient with one hand, as is required, for example, for many daily activities can be if a hand has to remain free for a short time; for example when climbing stairs, when washing or the like.
Sie sind konstruktionsbedingt auch nicht stapelbar, um sie beispielsweise platzsparend und dennoch griffbereit im Auto unterbringen zu können. Herkömmliche Krücken müssen wegen ihrer Wegrutschneigung auf der Rückbank abgelegt werden, was ihren Zu-griff für eine behinderte Person erschwert.Due to their design, they are also not stackable, for example to save space and still be within reach in the car. Conventional crutches must because of their tendency to slip away are placed in the back seat, which their access difficult for a disabled person.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Gehhilfe oder Krücke zu schaffen, die einfach aufgebaut ist und ergonomisch an die Bedürfnisse des Verwenders angepaßt ist. Ferner soll durch entsprechende Konstruktion möglich sein, ein Umfallen zu verhindern und die Gehhilfe auf kleinstem Raum stapeln zu können.The object of the present invention is to provide a walking aid or crutch that is simple and ergonomically adapted to the needs of the user. Furthermore, it should be possible to prevent it from falling over by appropriate construction and being able to stack the walking aid in the smallest of spaces.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Gehhilfe nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a walking aid according to
Wenn der Handgriff zwischen der Unterarmstütze und dem stabförmigen Teil angeordnet ist, kann die Gehhilfe im wesentlichen aus einem durchgehenden Teil gebildet werden. Der stabförmige Teil befindet sich beim Laufen vor dem Handgriff, so daß der Aufsetzpunkt der Gehhilfe auf dem Boden weiter vorne ist als bei bekannten Gehhilfen. Dadurch gelangt die Gehhilfe weiter in Laufrichtung und damit in das Blickfeld des Verwenders, was ihm ein größeres Sicherheitsgefühl gibt, wobei ferner der Patient auch bei unebenen Untergründen die Krücken sicher aufsetzen kann. Die gehbehinderte Person sieht den Untergrund, auf den die Gehhilfe aufgesetzt wird. Damit verringert sich die Gefahr des Weggleitens der Gehhilfe infolge von Bodenunebenheiten oder Löchern. Der vorgezogene Aufsetzpunkt fördert dabei eine größere Schrittlänge. Eine vergrößerte Schrittlänge bewirkt einerseits ein schnelleres Vorwärtskommen der gehbehinderten Person und andererseits den psychologischen Vorteil, daß sich der Patient weniger hinfällig vorkommt, sowie bedingt dadurch sicherer agiert.When the handle is placed between the forearm support and the rod-shaped part is, the walking aid can be formed essentially from a continuous part. The rod-shaped part is in front of the handle when running, so that the The point of contact of the walking aid on the floor is further forward than with known walking aids. As a result, the walking aid continues to move in the running direction and thus into the field of vision of the User, which gives him a greater sense of security, and also the patient can safely put the crutches on uneven surfaces. The disabled person sees the surface on which the walking aid is placed. This reduces the danger of the walking aid slipping away due to uneven floors or holes. The advanced point of contact promotes a longer stride. An enlarged one Stride length on the one hand causes the handicapped people to move faster Person and on the other hand the psychological advantage that the patient is less lapses, and therefore acts more securely.
In einer konstruktiv einfachen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der stabförmige Teil, der Handgriff und die Unterarmstütze durch ein durchgehendes Rohr miteinander verbunden. Anstelle mehrerer Teile miteinander zu verbinden, muß das Rohr lediglich entsprechend den ergonomischen Anforderungen gebogen werden. Dabei ist der Handgriff auf dem stabförmigen Teil federnd abgestützt so daß eine stoßartige Belastung beim Aufsetzen der Gehhilfe weitgehend vermieden werden kann. In a structurally simple embodiment of the invention, the rod-shaped part is the Handle and forearm support connected by a continuous tube. Instead of connecting several parts together, the pipe only has to be connected accordingly be bent to ergonomic requirements. The handle is open the rod-shaped part resiliently supported so that a shock-like load when touching down the walking aid can be largely avoided.
In der US 5 193 567 ist eine Gehhilfe gezeigt, die im wesentlichen aus einem durchgehenden Teil gebildet ist, das einen unteren stabförmigen Teil, einen Hand- und eine Unterarmstütze umfaßt. Der Handgriff ist dabei im wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem stabförmigen Teil ausgebildet und die Unterarmstütze befindet sich in der Verlängerung des stahförmigen Teils, so daß der Verwender diese Gehhilfe nahe am Körper einsetzen muß. In US 5 193 567 a walking aid is shown, which consists essentially of a continuous part is formed, the lower rod-shaped part, a Hand and a forearm support includes. The handle is essentially formed perpendicular to the rod-shaped part and the forearm support is in the extension of the steel part, so that the user must use this walking aid close to the body.
Unter ergonomischen Gesichtspunkten ist es vorteilhaft, den Handgriff im wesentlichen horizontal und die Unterarmstütze zur Vertikalen leicht nach hinten geneigt auszubilden. Durch die annähernd horizontale Ausbildung des Handgriffs kann der Verwender problemlos eine Gewichtskraft auf die Gehhilfe aufbringen. Eine leicht geneigte Unterarmstütze ermöglicht eine bessere Führung des Unterarms beim Laufen, da durch den vorgezogenen Aufsetzpunkt der Gehhilfe die Unterarme des Verwenders leicht nach vorne gewinkelt sind. Diese Haltung ermöglicht dem Verwender einen größeren Drehwinkel der Gehhilfe um den Aufsetzpunkt als dies bei einer vertikal verlaufenden Unterarmstütze zu realisieren ist.From an ergonomic point of view, it is advantageous to use the handle essentially horizontally and the forearm support inclined slightly backwards to the vertical. Due to the approximately horizontal design of the handle, the user can easily apply a weight to the walking aid. A slightly inclined forearm support allows for better guidance of the forearm while running because of the pulled the cradle of the walking aid slightly behind the user's forearms are angled at the front. This attitude allows the user a larger angle of rotation the walking aid around the touchdown point than with a vertical forearm support is to be realized.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der stabförmige Teil längenverstellbar und der Handgriff weist ein nachgiebiges Material auf. Wenn das nachgiebige Material austauschbar ist, kann es für den jeweiligen Verwender optimal angepaßt werden. Der Teil des Rohrs, der den Handgriff bildet, wird dabei mit einem Überzug aus Hart- oder Moosgummi, respektive einem entsprechend verformbaren stumpfen Kunststoff mit ergonomisch ausgeformten Griffrillen versehen. Der Einsatz einer gegebenenfalls individuellen Lösung bleibt konstruktionsbedingt offen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the rod-shaped part is adjustable in length and the handle is made of a resilient material. If the compliant Material is interchangeable, it can be optimally adapted for the respective user. The part of the tube that forms the handle is covered with a coating Hard or foam rubber, or a correspondingly deformable blunt plastic provided with ergonomically shaped grip grooves. The use of a where appropriate individual solution remains open due to the design.
Eine optimale ergonomische Anpassung an die gehbehinderte Person läßt sich ferner durch eine längenverstellbare Unterarmstütze herstellen, deren Winkel zum Handgriff einstellbar ist. Neben ergonomischen Gesichtpunkten sprechen auch hygienische Gesichtspunkte für eine Austauschbarkeit der mit dem Verwender in Kontakt kommenden Teile.An optimal ergonomic adaptation to the disabled person can also be by means of a length-adjustable forearm support, the angle of which to the handle is adjustable. In addition to ergonomic aspects, hygienic aspects also speak for an interchangeability of those coming into contact with the user Parts.
Für den Transport der Gehhilfen ist es von Vorteil, wenn diese stapelbar sind oder wenn die Unterarmstützen entfernbar oder abklappbar sind. Nach der Entfernung der Unterarmstütze kann die Gehhilfe auch als Spazierstock eingesetzt werden.For the transport of the walking aids, it is advantageous if they are stackable or if the forearm supports can be removed or folded down. After removing the Forearm support can also be used as a walking stick.
Ferner ist eine Konstruktion aus zwei Teilen vorteilhaft, wobei der Unterarmbereich sowie der Handgriff aus Kunststoff, einteilig geformt ist. Diese Vorrichtung wird auf das höhenverstellbare Aufsetzrohr montiert.Furthermore, a construction of two parts is advantageous, with the forearm area and the handle made of plastic, is molded in one piece. This device is on the height-adjustable mounting tube is installed.
Es ergeben sich aus dieser Konstruktion zwei Winkel, deren einer den Ansatz des Unterarmstücks zum Handgriff beschreibt, während der zweite Winkel sich aus dem Ansatz des Handgriffs auf das lotrechte Stützrohr ergibt. Als ergonomisch vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn der Winkel zwischen dem Handgriff und dem stabförmigen Teil in einem Bereich von 60° bis 80° liegt und der Winkel zwischen dem Handgriff und der Unterarmstütze in einem Bereich von 95° bis 115° liegt. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß sich zum einen die Armspange beim Laufen nicht vom Unterarm löst und zum anderen die umfassende Hand nicht auf dem Griff rutschen kann, sie insbesondere nicht nach vorn gehebelt wird. Abweichungen von diesen Winkeln sind möglich und gegebenenfalls abhängig vom Krankheitsbild des Patienten (z.B. Rheumatismus). In derartigen Fällen ist eine individuelle Winkelneigung generell möglich.This construction results in two angles, one of which is the approach of the forearm piece to the handle describes while the second angle is off the neck of the handle on the vertical support tube. Has been ergonomically advantageous it turned out when the angle between the handle and the rod-shaped part is in a range of 60 ° to 80 ° and the angle between the handle and the Forearm support is in a range from 95 ° to 115 °. This has the advantage that on the one hand does not detach the arm from the forearm while running and on the other hand the comprehensive hand can not slide on the handle, especially not forward is levered. Deviations from these angles are possible and possibly dependent the patient's clinical picture (e.g. rheumatism). In such cases an individual angle inclination is generally possible.
Die erfindungsgemäße Form der Gehhilfe gestattet ihren Einsatz auch als Enterhaken. Sie kann an Tische, Stühle, Schränke oder auch über den angewinkelten Unterarm gehängt werden, wie es beispielsweise beim Treppensteigen erforderlich ist, um sich mit der nun freibleibenden Hand am Geländer festhalten zu können. Die erfindungsgemäße Gehhilfe dient insbesondere an einem üblichen Kleiderschrank mit Flügeltüren als absolut sichere Halterung beim ihrem Anhängen an dessen First, so daß die zweite Gehhilfe an den Schlüssel oder den Knopf einer Schranktür gehängt werden kann. Solcherart gesichert kann sich ein Patient in seinen Schrank neigen und selbst bedienen. Beim Schließen des Schrankes befindet sich die eine Gehhilfe griffbereit am Schrankschlüssel, respektive Türknopf so daß er, mit dieser gestützt, die an den First gehängte Gehhilfe zu sich heruntergleiten lassen kann. Insbesondere Hüft-, Rücken- und Rheumapatienten benötigen andernfalls eine Pflegeperson für die Verrichtung des Ankleidens, da insbesondere geöffnete Schranktüren bei Verwendung üblicher Gehhilfen weder ein Sichern des eigenen Körpers noch die griffbereite Ablage der Gehhilfen ermöglichen. Das gleiche gilt für die Verrichtungen im Bad und in der Küche, wobei die Gehhilfe an das Waschbecken, an die Heizung oder an ein Fenster etc. gehängt wird.The shape of the walking aid according to the invention also allows it to be used as a grappling hook. It can be hung on tables, chairs, cupboards or over the angled forearm be, as is required, for example, when climbing stairs to deal with to be able to hold the free hand on the railing. The invention Walking aids serve as absolute, especially on a conventional wardrobe with double doors secure mounting when attached to its ridge, so that the second walking aid can be hung on the key or the button of a cabinet door. Such a way a patient can safely lean into his closet and operate it himself. At the Closing the cabinet, there is a walking aid at hand on the cabinet key, respectively door knob so that, supported by it, the walking aid hung on the ridge can slide down to yourself. Especially hip, back and rheumatism patients otherwise need a caregiver to do the dressing, because in particular Open cabinet doors do not secure when using conventional walking aids of your own body still allow easy access to the walking aids. The same applies to the tasks in the bathroom and in the kitchen, the walking aid to the Wash basin, on the heater or on a window etc. is hung.
Der aus stumpfen, Material bestehende Handgriff sowie die gleichfalls stumpfe Krückenkapsel an ihrem unteren Ende verhindert sowohl ein Verrutschen der abgehängten Gehhilfe als auch Beschädigungen an den Möbeln, respektive Gegenständen an denen sie abgehängt wird.The blunt, material handle and the blunt crutch capsule at its lower end prevents the suspended from slipping Walking aid as well as damage to the furniture or objects on them it is detached.
Die Aufsetzkappe, die sogenannte Krückenkapsel besteht vorzugsweise aus Hartgummi oder einem äquivalenten Kunststoff. Ihr großflächiger Aufsatz mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 4,5 cm in Ruhestellung vergrößert sich bei Belastung in Abhängigkeit von, Körpergewicht. Das bietet den Vorteil gegenüber herkömmlichen Krückenkapseln, ein Abrutschen auch auf Marmor oder Parkett sicher zu verhindern. Der Patient bewegt sich überdies mit seiner Gehhilfe erschütterungsfrei und damit in postoperativer Situation oder bei Rheumatismus schmerzfrei im Sinne eines abrollenden Fußes fort The fitting cap, the so-called crutch capsule, is preferably made of hard rubber or an equivalent plastic. Your large-area essay with a diameter of about 4.5 cm in the rest position increases under load depending on, Body weight. This offers the advantage over conventional crutch capsules To prevent slipping even on marble or parquet. The patient moves is also vibration-free with his walking aid and thus in a postoperative situation or with rheumatism pain-free in the sense of a rolling foot
Die erfindungsgemäße Form der Gehhilfe macht diese stapelbar. Während herkömmliche Gehhilfen konstruktionsbedingt verrutschen, sie sich insbesondere nicht schlank zusammenfügen lassen, ist die erfindungsgemäße Form der Gehhilfe prädestiniert für ihre Stapelbarkeit. Das ermöglicht, ein Paar Gehhilfen beispielsweise auch im Auto griffbereit auf dem Getriebetunnel ablegen zu können. Für einen längeren Verbleib lassen sich die Gehhilfen mit einem kleinen Gurt, einer Spange oder einem Clip miteinander verbinden, so daß ein Verlegen einer einzelnen Gehhilfe verhindert wird. Diese Stapelbarkeit birgt des weiteren Vorteile für ihren Transport, beispielsweise auch im Flugzeug sowie gegebenenfalls als platzsparende Massensendung in Krisengebiete.The shape of the walking aid according to the invention makes it stackable. While conventional Due to the construction, walking aids slip, in particular they do not become slim Let put together, the form of walking aid according to the invention is predestined for their stackability. This enables a pair of walking aids, for example, in the car to be ready to hand on the transmission tunnel. Leave for a longer stay the walking aids with a small belt, a clip or a clip connect so that the laying of a single walking aid is prevented. This stackability also has advantages for your transportation, for example on an airplane and, if necessary, as a space-saving mass mailing to crisis areas.
