Definitions

  • the invention is related to a holding device for sticks or equivalent articles.
  • the invention is especially related to this kind of holding device which uses a magnet holder.
  • Magnetic holding devices for sticks or equivalent articles are known from publications GB 2238173 and GB 2363980 , for example. Solutions for suspending sticks or equivalent articles with magnetic holders to the clothing of a user or a plate counterpart carried by a user are known from publications FR 2765086 and FR 2655263 .
  • An object of the invention is to present a holding device for sticks or equivalent articles, which utilises a magnet holder and enhances especially the versatility of such holder device.
  • a holding device for sticks and equivalent articles according to the invention which holding device utilises a magnet holder, is characterised in that what is defined in the characterising part of claim 1.
  • Various embodiments of the holding device according to the invention are defined in dependent claims 2 to 6.
  • a stick or equivalent article such as a crutch, walking stick, ski stick or walking pole
  • a suitable target or another stick by means of the magnet holder.
  • the magnet holder and a clip holder attached to it it may also be suspended or supported mechanically on objects which have no counter surface for a magnet, such as clothes, pieces of furniture and other suitable objects.
  • the clip holder can also be combined with a reflector.
  • a frame 2 of a magnet holder 1 attachable to a stick is made of rubber or suitable durable and elastic plastic, for example.
  • the length of the frame viewed from above can be e.g. 60 mm and the width of the middle part about 20 mm.
  • Through the frame 2 extends a channel 3, in which an e.g. 50 mm long magnet is placed which has a cross section of e.g. 4 x 10 mm.
  • the bottom side of the frame 2 is equipped with a friction surface 4, which is a surface with e.g. serration or other suitable pattern.
  • Flanges 5 and 6 with recesses for attachment of corresponding sticker flaps 7 and 8 extend from the lower edges to both sides of the frame 2.
  • the attachment (not shown) can be done with e.g. glue or stitching or in some other suitable manner.
  • the sticker flaps 7 and 8 have corresponding sticker surfaces 9 and 10. With the friction surface 4 and the sticker flaps 7 and 8, the device can be fastened to a stick or other article that has a suitable pole-like part or extension around which the fastening can be done.
  • the sticker flaps are advantageously made of normal inexpensive mechanically operating velcro materials.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show the attaching of the magnet holder 1 to a stick 14.
  • the frame 2 and flanges 5 and 6 are shaped so that they bend easily for example along the surface of the stick.
  • the ridges of the friction surface 4 are pressed against the surface of the stick and the flaps 7 and 8 are strained tightly enough around the stick and fastened together with sticker surfaces 9 and 10.
  • the ends of the channel 3 are closed with plugs 12 and 13, which are attached to the frame 2 with hot glue, for example. Different colours of plugs 12 and 13, for example, or other differences may indicate the polarity of the magnet 11.
  • the magnet holder may, of course, be used independently. Therefore, suitable targets can be equipped with a suitable small steel plate, for example, on which a stick or equivalent article can be suspended with the magnet holder. It can also be used to suspend the stick or other equivalent article on readily available suitable surfaces or objects, for example steel lockers, radiators, steel edgings and different kinds of trimmings.
  • the clip holder 15 of Figs. 7 and 8 is as such a common clip bent of steel sheet and having two branches 15a and 15b, which are bent into a generally slim U-shape and to press at a certain point with suitable strength against each other.
  • the branch 15a includes a straight plate part, which is meant to act as a counter surface for the magnet 11 of the magnet holder 1.
  • the ends 16 and 17 of the branches 15a and 15b are bent suitably outwards, so that the clip holder is easier to attach to a suitable target.
  • the end 17 of the branch 15b that is bent away from the magnet holder 1 is bent further outwards and also coated with anti-sliding material 18, which can be for example suitable silicone rubber.
  • the clip holder is also equipped with reflecting film 19, for example a reflector sticker.
  • FIGs. 9 and 10 one use of the clip holder together with the magnet holder is illustrated.
  • the magnet holder 1 is attached to a crutch 30.
  • the clip holder 15 is attached to the edge of a sweater pocket 31 of a crutch-using person 28 so that the response surface for the magnet holder and the reflecting film attached to it face outwards.
  • the clip holder thus acts as a reflector while the person 28 is moving utilising the crutch.
  • the person 28 can attach the crutch 30 to the clip holder 15 with the magnet holder 1.
  • Fig. 11 illustrates another use of the clip holder together with the magnet holder.
  • the clip holder of Figs. 7 and 8 is attached to the magnet holder 1 attached to a stick 14.
  • the stick 14 is set to rest against the edge 27 of a table top 25 so that it's supported against the table top surface 26 by the outward bent end 17 of the branch 15b of the clip holder, which is coated with anti-slide material 18.
  • Figs. 12 to 14 present some possible alternative implementations of the clip holder, in which the corresponding parts are referred with the same reference signs as in Figs. 7 and 8 .
  • Fig. 12 there is shown a clip holder 15 bent from steel sheet, which clip holder is otherwise like the clip holder of Figs. 7 and 8 but has a different shape.
  • Clip holders 15 of Figs. 13 and 14 are made of plastic, for example, and thus have a thin steel plate 20 fastened with glue, for example, to the branch 15a for magnetic attachment.
  • the reflecting film 19 is attached to the steel plate.
  • the branches 15a and 15b have corrugated surfaces 23 and 24 fitted to each other.
  • the invention is not limited to aforementioned examples. Both the clip holder and the magnet holder can be implemented with many other structures and appearances.
