Description

Gehstock- bzw. KrückenständerWalking stick or crutch stand
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum aufrechten bzw. weitgehendst vertikalen Deponieren von längsausgedehnten, stockartigen Gebrauchsgegenständen, wie Gehhilfen bzw. Krücken, Schirmen, Wanderstöcken und dergleichen sowie einen Gehstock- bzw. Krückenständer mit einer Vorrichtung.The present invention relates to a device for the upright or largely vertical depositing of longitudinally extended, stick-like commodities, such as walking aids or crutches, umbrellas, walking sticks and the like, and a walking stick or crutch stand with a device.
Behinderte oder ältere Personen stehen oft vor dem Problem, wie und wo ihre Gehstδcke bzw. Krücken bei einem Arztbesuch, beim Besuch eines Restaurants usw. zu deponieren sind. In der Regel werden diese Gehhilfen auf dem Fussboden liegend deponiert und stellen so eine Gefahr für andere Personen dar.Disabled or elderly people are often faced with the problem of how and where to deposit their walking sticks or crutches when visiting a doctor, visiting a restaurant, etc. As a rule, these walking aids are deposited on the floor and pose a danger to other people.
Eben diese Situation war es dann auch, welche für den Erfinder der vorliegenden Erfindung, Herrn Hans Oetiker, den Anstoss gab, bezüglich dieser unakzeptablen Situation Abhilfe zu schaf- fen.It was precisely this situation that prompted the inventor of the present invention, Mr. Hans Oetiker, to remedy this unacceptable situation.
Herr Oetiker, infolge einer Hüftoperation selbst behindert, besuchte seinen Arzt und wurde im Wartezimmer desselben Zeuge eines Unfalls mit tragischer Folge. Ein anderer, ebenfalls wartender Patient legte seine Krücken mangels besserer Deponie- rungsmöglichkeit auf den Fussboden, über welche Krücken ein anderer Patient strauchelte und sich ernsthaft verletzte. Letzterer usste sich anschliessend infolge eben dieses Unfalls einer Operation unterziehen, welche er nicht überlebte. Aufgrund dieses Ereignisses versuchte Herr Oetiker, Vorrichtungen ausfindig zu machen, mittels welchen ein geeignetes Deponieren der Gehhilfen bzw. Krücken ermöglicht wird. Die aufgefundenen Ständer, beispielsweise der Firmen Binder Rehab, Heim- und Spitalbedarf, CH-5612 Villmergen AG und Achermann Hans, Schmiede und Metallbau, CH-5122 Menznau LU, waren aber zu schwer (ca. 3 bis 5 kg) , zu voluminös und zu umständlich in der Handhabung. Kein Wunder also, dass diese auf dem Markt erhältlichen Ständer beispiels- weise für Krücken kaum Verwendung finden in Arztpraxen, in Restaurants, in öffentlichen Gebäuden etc.Mr. Oetiker, himself disabled as a result of a hip operation, visited his doctor and witnessed an accident in the same waiting room with tragic consequences. Another patient, who was also waiting, put his crutches on the floor due to the lack of a better disposal option, over which crutches another patient stumbled and seriously injured himself. The latter then had to undergo an operation as a result of this accident, which he did not survive. Due to this event, Mr. Oetiker tried to locate devices by means of which the walking aids or crutches can be appropriately deposited. The found stands, for example from Binder Rehab, Heim- und Spitalbedarf, CH-5612 Villmergen AG and Achermann Hans, Schmiede und Metallbau, CH-5122 Menznau LU, were too heavy (approx. 3 to 5 kg), too voluminous and too cumbersome to use. No wonder that these stands available on the market, for example wise hardly used for crutches in medical practices, in restaurants, in public buildings etc.
Entsprechend war es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, beispielsweise für das Deponieren von Gehhilfen und Krücken, welche leicht in der Handhabung ist und die Nachteile der auf dem Markt erhältlichen Ständer nicht aufweist .Accordingly, it was an object of the present invention to provide a device, for example for depositing walking aids and crutches, which is easy to handle and does not have the disadvantages of the stands available on the market.

Fig. 8 in Perspektive von vorne, zwillingsartig ausgebildete Rohre, angehängt an Halterungen an einem Wandabschnitt. Fig. 1 zeigt in Perspektive von vorne eine erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung bzw. einen Gehstockständer 1, welcher geeignet ist für die Aufnahme von mindestens einem Krückenpaar. Der Gehstock- bzw. Krückenständer 1 umfasst zwillingsartig fest mit- einander verbundene Aufnahmerohre 3 und 5, welche fest auf einer Bodenplatte 7 gehalten sind. Damit diese beiden Rohre 3 und 5 positionsrichtig auf der Bodenplatte 7 gehalten sind, ist frontseitig im Verbindungsbereich der beiden Rohre ein Nocken 9 aus der Bodenplatte 7 ausgestanzt, welcher insbesondere in den Fig. 2a und b noch deutlicher erkennbar dargestellt ist. Rückseitig werden die beiden Rohre 3 und 5 mittels eines Haltestiftes 11 auf der Bodenplatte 7 gehalten.Fig. 8 in perspective from the front, twin tubes, attached to brackets on a wall section. 1 shows a perspective view from the front of a device according to the invention or a walking stick stand 1 which is suitable for holding at least one pair of crutches. The walking stick or crutch stand 1 comprises twin holding tubes 3 and 5 which are firmly connected to one another and are firmly held on a base plate 7. So that these two tubes 3 and 5 are held in the correct position on the base plate 7, a cam 9 is punched out of the base plate 7 in the connection area of the two tubes, which is shown even more clearly in particular in FIGS. 2a and b. On the back, the two tubes 3 and 5 are held on the base plate 7 by means of a retaining pin 11.
Die Fig. 2a und 2b zeigen eine AusfύhrungsVariante der Bodenplatte 7, aufweisend den erwähnten frontseitigen Nocken 9 sowie eine Gewindeaufnahme 13, welche im rückseitigen Verbindungsbereich der beiden aufzunehmenden Rohre 3 und 5 angeordnet ist, welche in Fig. 2a gestrichelt andeutungsweise eingezeichnet sind.2a and 2b show an embodiment variant of the base plate 7, having the cams 9 on the front as well as a thread receptacle 13 which is arranged in the rear connection area of the two pipes 3 and 5 to be received, which are indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2a.
Insbesondere in Fig. 2b deutlich erkennbar ist der ausgestanzte Nocken 9 sowie der Gewindeeinsatz 13, welcher beispielsweise in einer lochartigen Ausnehmung in der Bodenplatte 7 eingesteckt bzw. eingelassen werden kann.The punched-out cam 9 and the threaded insert 13, which can be inserted or recessed, for example, in a hole-like recess in the base plate 7, can be clearly seen in particular in FIG. 2b.
Die Fig. 3a und 3b zeigen eine weitere Ausführungsvariante der Bodenplatte 7, in welcher anstelle des frontseitigen Nockens 9 zwei Ausstanzungen 15 und 17 zusätzlich zur Gewindeaufnahme 13 angeordnet sind, welche in etwa dem inneren Durchmesser der beiden Rohre 3 und 5 entsprechen. Vorzugsweise ist der äussere Rand 14 dieser beiden Ausstanzungen konisch ausgebildet, wie insbesondere in Fig. 3b deutlich erkennbar. Da Fig. 3b eine Seitenansicht in Pfeilrichtung I-I darstellt, sind die beiden Ausstanzungen 15 und 17 genau hintereinander angeordnet, und somit ist jeweils nur eine Ausstanzung erkennbar. Fig. 4 zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht von hinten die beiden auf der Bodenplatte 7 aufgesteckten Rohre 3 und 5, jedoch ohne den Haltestift. In Fig. 4 nun deutlich erkennbar ist eine rohrformige Führung 19 für die Aufnahme bzw. das Hindurchführen des Haltestiftes, welcher in Fig. 5 im nicht montierten Zustand dargestellt ist. Der Haltestift 11 kann beispielsweise zweiteilig ausgebildet sein, wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Dabei weist beispielsweise ein erster unterer Haltestift bzw. Haltestab 21 frontseitig ein Gewinde 23 auf, um in der gewindeartigen Auf- nähme 13 der Bodenplatte aufgenommen zu werden. Der untere Haltestift 21 wird dabei durch die Führung 19 hindurch gesteckt, wobei eine Verdickung 25 am oberen Ende der Führung 19 ansteht, um die beiden Rohre 3 und 5 beim Einschrauben des Stiftes 21 in die Gewindeaufnahme 13 fest auf der Bodenplatte 7 zu halten. Endständig weist der untere Haltestift 21 eine weitere, vorzugsweise geriffelte Verdickung 27 auf, durch welche hindurch vorzugsweise eine Lochung 28 vorgesehen ist. Auf letztere wird später eingegangen.3a and 3b show a further embodiment of the base plate 7, in which instead of the front cam 9 two punchings 15 and 17 are arranged in addition to the thread receptacle 13, which correspond approximately to the inner diameter of the two tubes 3 and 5. The outer edge 14 of these two punched-outs is preferably conical, as can be clearly seen in particular in FIG. 3b. 3b shows a side view in the direction of arrow II, the two punched-outs 15 and 17 are arranged exactly one behind the other, and thus only one punched-out can be seen in each case. FIG. 4 shows a perspective view from behind of the two pipes 3 and 5 attached to the base plate 7, but without the retaining pin. A tubular guide 19 for receiving or passing the retaining pin, which is shown in FIG. 5 in the unassembled state, can now be clearly seen in FIG. 4. The holding pin 11 can be formed, for example, in two parts, as shown in FIG. 5. In this case, for example, a first lower holding pin or holding rod 21 has a thread 23 on the front in order to be received in the thread-like receptacle 13 of the base plate. The lower retaining pin 21 is inserted through the guide 19, with a thickening 25 at the upper end of the guide 19 to hold the two tubes 3 and 5 firmly when screwing the pin 21 into the threaded receptacle 13 on the base plate 7. At the end, the lower retaining pin 21 has a further, preferably corrugated thickening 27, through which a perforation 28 is preferably provided. The latter will be discussed later.
Im ersten Stift mit einem endständigen Gewinde 31 einschraubbar ist ein weiterer, zweiter Haltestift 29, welcher an seinem oberen Ende einen Hebegriff 33 aufweisen kann, damit im montierten Zustand die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung auf einfache Art und Weise von einem Fussboden abgehoben bzw. getragen werden kann.A further, second retaining pin 29 can be screwed into the first pin with a terminal thread 31, which can have a lifting handle 33 at its upper end so that the device according to the invention can be lifted or carried from a floor in a simple manner in the assembled state.
Fig. 6 zeigt die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung 1 in Perspektive von hinten, im montierten Zustand, d.h. mit eingestecktem und eingeschraubtem Haltestift 11. In Fig. 6 weiter erkennbar sind zwei vorzugsweise in den beiden Rohren 3 und 5 im oberen Endbereich angeordnete Ausstanzungen 35 und 37, auf deren Funktionsweise unter Bezug auf Fig. 8 eingegangen wird.Fig. 6 shows the device 1 according to the invention in perspective from behind, in the assembled state, i.e. with inserted and screwed-in retaining pin 11. Two further cut-outs 35 and 37, which are preferably arranged in the two tubes 3 and 5 in the upper end region, can be seen in FIG. 6, and their mode of operation will be discussed with reference to FIG. 8.
Falls nun die Vorrichtung gemäss Fig. 1 oder Fig. 6 demontiert werden soll, können die beiden Haltestiftteile 21 und 29 aus der gewindeartigen Aufnahme 13 ausgeschraubt werden. Dabei wird zunächst der obere Stift 29 entfernt und anschliessend der un- tere Stift, wobei in der Regel infolge des Gegendruckes, der sich durch Anstossen der Verdickung 25 am oberen Teil der Führung 19 ergibt, ein Ausdrehen des unteren Stiftes schwierig ist. Nun kann der ausgedrehte obere Stiftteil 29 durch die Lo- chung 28 hindurch gesteckt werden, und unter Ausnützung der Hebelwirkung kann der untere Stift 21 mit Leichtigkeit aus der Gewindeaufnahme 13 herausgedreht werden.If the device according to FIG. 1 or 6 is now to be dismantled, the two holding pin parts 21 and 29 can be unscrewed from the thread-like receptacle 13. First, the upper pin 29 is removed, and then the tere pin, which is usually difficult to unscrew the lower pin due to the back pressure, which results from knocking the thickening 25 on the upper part of the guide 19. Now the turned-out upper pin part 29 can be inserted through the hole 28, and, using the leverage effect, the lower pin 21 can be easily removed from the thread receptacle 13.
Nach Entfernen der Stifte können die beiden Rohre 3 und 5 mit Leichtigkeit von der Bodenplatte 7 abgehoben werden, und die ganze Vorrichtung lässt sich, wie in Fig. 7 eindrücklich dargestellt, auf kleinstem Raum deponieren. Im nicht montierten Zustand gemäss Fig. 7 lässt sich somit die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung leicht in einer Tasche, einer Mappe oder dergleichen transportieren. Insbesondere im Fall, dass die erfindungsgemä- sse Vorrichtung beispielsweise aus Aluminium hergestellt ist, lässt sich ihr Gewicht auf unter 1 kg reduzieren, womit der Transport bzw. das Mit-sich-Herumtragen der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung kein Problem darstellt. Selbstverständlich muss sie nicht zwingend aus Aluminium hergestellt sein, so ist es bei- spielsweise auch möglich, die Boden- bzw. Grundplatte aus Eisen zu fertigen und die aufzusteckenden Aufnahmerohre aus einem Kunststoff, wie beispielsweise aus einem faserverstärkten Kunststoff .After removing the pins, the two tubes 3 and 5 can be lifted off the base plate 7 with ease, and the entire device can be deposited in the smallest space, as is impressively shown in FIG. 7. In the unassembled state according to FIG. 7, the device according to the invention can thus be easily transported in a pocket, a folder or the like. In particular, in the event that the device according to the invention is made of aluminum, for example, its weight can be reduced to less than 1 kg, so that the device according to the invention is not a problem to carry around or carry around. Of course, it does not necessarily have to be made of aluminum, for example it is also possible to manufacture the base or base plate from iron and the receptacle tubes to be plugged on from a plastic, such as, for example, from a fiber-reinforced plastic.
Durch das Anordnen der beiden Ausstanzungen 35 und 37, wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt, ist es aber auch möglich, die beiden Rohre 3 und 5 an Wandhalterungen, wie beispielsweise Schrauben 41, einhängend anzuordnen, wie in Fig. 8 dargestellt. Anstelle der dargestellten Schrauben ist es aber auch möglich, Haken anzuordnen oder andere Halteorgane. Schrauben können bei Holzwänden 43 eingeschraubt angeordnet werden oder aber in Betonwänden durch die Verwendung von handelsüblichen Dübeln.By arranging the two punchings 35 and 37, as shown in FIG. 6, it is also possible to arrange the two tubes 3 and 5 to hang on wall brackets, such as screws 41, as shown in FIG. 8. Instead of the screws shown, it is also possible to arrange hooks or other holding members. Screws can be screwed in on wooden walls 43 or in concrete walls by using standard dowels.
Anstelle der zwillingsartig angeordneten Rohre 3 und 5 ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, nur ein einziges Rohr zu ver- wenden, oder zwei wieder lösbar miteinander verbindbare Rohre, welche beispielsweise aneinander gesteckt werden können oder mittels Einschnappvorrichtungen miteinander verbunden werden können.Instead of the twin tubes 3 and 5, it is of course also possible to use only one tube. turn, or two again releasably connectable tubes, which can be plugged together, for example, or can be connected to one another by means of snap-in devices.
Bei den in den Fig. 1 bis 8 dargestellten erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtungen handelt es sich selbstverständlich nur um Beispiele, welche zur näheren Erläuterung der vorliegenden Erfindung dienen. Selbstverständlich können diese Vorrichtungen auf x-beliebige Art und Weise abgeändert, modifiziert oder durch weitere Elemente ergänzt werden. So ist es selbstverständlich nicht zwingend notwendig, dass das stiftartige Halteorgan 11 zweiteilig ausgebildet ist, sondern es kann auch einteilig oder dreiteilig etc. ausgebildet sein. Das stiftartige Halteelement kann auch derart konstruiert sein, dass der obere Teil 29 di- rekt für die Befestigung der beiden Rohre 3 und 5 auf derThe devices according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 are of course only examples which serve to explain the present invention in more detail. Of course, these devices can be modified, modified or supplemented by further elements in any desired manner. So it is of course not absolutely necessary that the pin-like holding member 11 is formed in two parts, but it can also be formed in one part or three parts, etc. The pin-like holding element can also be constructed in such a way that the upper part 29 directly for fastening the two tubes 3 and 5 on the
Grundplatte 7 verwendet werden kann, indem beispielsweise die Verdickung 30 gegen das obere Ende der Führung 19 beim Einschrauben des frontseitigen Gewindes 31 in die Gewindeaufnahme 13 in der Bodenplatte 7 angreift. Auch kδnnen die Rohre oben abgeschrägt ausgebildet sein oder gerade, und auch können die Rohre einen unteren Boden aufweisen oder offen ausgebildet sein, wie im Ausführungsbeispiel in den Fig. 1 bis 8 dargestellt. Auch die Werkstoffwahl ist unwesentlich, wichtig bei der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung ist, dass ein standsicheres Deponieren von Gehhilfen, Krücken und dergleichen möglich ist, womit ein gewisses Eigengewicht der Vorrichtung notwendig ist. Base plate 7 can be used, for example, by the thickening 30 engaging against the upper end of the guide 19 when the front thread 31 is screwed into the thread receptacle 13 in the base plate 7. The tubes can also be designed to be beveled at the top or straight, and the tubes can also have a lower bottom or be open, as shown in the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1 to 8. The choice of material is also immaterial, it is important in the device according to the invention that a stable depositing of walking aids, crutches and the like is possible, which means that a certain weight of the device is necessary.
