Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holder according to the preamble of claim 1, meant for fastening a pair of underarm or forearm crutches together.
  • crutches When a person using forearm or underarm crutches for one reason or another wishes to put the crutches temporarily aside, for instance when standing at a bank counter, he likes to put the crutches in a location from where they can easily be taken to use again.
  • holders designed for temporarily connecting pairs of forearm and underarm crutches, by which holders the crutches are fastened together when they are put aside, in which case they do not fall as easily as otherwise, and they are fairly easily taken to use again.
  • crutches are fastened either at their handgrips or at their bodies. When joining the crutches at the handgrips, the bodies of the crutches remain in parallel, which means that they fall down easily.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art. Hence, it is an object of the invention to realize a holder for fastening pairs of crutches, particularly forearm crutches, together so that the fastening of the crutches by means of a holder requires less strength of the user than the prior art solutions.
  • a second object of the invention is to realize a method for fastening pairs of forearm and underarm crutches together, in which method the holder meant for fastening the crutches is remarkably resistant to strengths directed vertically to the holder plane.
  • a third object of the invention is to realize a holder by which it would be possible to fasten crutches having different diameters in the cross-sectional profile of the body.
  • a holder according to claim 1 for fastening underarm or forearm crutches together including a functional element provided with a fastening canal, in which the body of the first crutch can be detachably fastened, as well as a fastening element, to which the body of the second crutch can be fastened by intermediation of the fastening canal provided in the fastening element, so that the second crutch body is placed at an angle with respect to the first crutch body.
  • the fastening canal of the functional element is formed of a bottom groove and of two fastening members, attached to the edges of the bottom groove, which fastening members open towards mutually different directions.
  • the fastening canal there is formed a discontinuity point between the first fastening member and the second fastening member, and the body of the crutch can be set in said discontinuity point.
  • the fastening members of the functional element are elastic, and the fastening elements are opened, with respect to each other, at an angle of about 180 degrees.
  • the fastening canal of the functional element is formed of an elongate, roughly U-shaped groove, where to both sides of the lengthwise edges of the groove, there is attached a blade-like fastening member.
  • the fastening members are roughly half of the length of the fastening canal, and they are located at opposite ends of the fastening groove, in which case in between them, roughly at halfway of the groove, there is left a discontinuity point. At the discontinuity point, neither edge of the groove is provided with a fastening member.
  • both fastening members having a certain radius of curvature are turned either clockwise in a spiraling way, or counterclockwise in a spiraling way around the longitudinal axis of the bottom groove.
  • the fastening element is provided with a bottom groove, and both lengthwise edges of said bottom groove are provided with a blade-like fastening member.
  • the lengths of the fastening members are, however, roughly equal to the whole bottom groove, and they are turned to opposite directions around the lengthwise axis of the bottom groove. In between the fastening members turning to opposite directions, there is left a narrow slot, through which the body of the crutch can be pressed down to the bottom of the groove.
  • the fastening element is formed of a pipe, in which the body of the second crutch can be permanently fitted.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the crutches are joined at their bodies by a holder provided with a functional element and a fastening element.
  • the first crutch is attached more or less permanently to the fastening element, and the second crutch is attached detachably to the functional element, at an angle with the crutch set in the fastening element.
  • the functional element is provided with a fastening canal formed of a bottom groove and blades attached to the lengthwise edges of the bottom groove, the length of said blades being roughly half of the length of the bottom groove.
  • the fastening members are located on different sides of the bottom groove.
  • the fastening members start at opposite ends of the fastening element, where their width is largest, and become narrower while proceeding towards the discontinuity point located in the middle part of the bottom groove. At the discontinuity point, blades are not connected to the bottom groove.
  • the fastening members are turned to opposite directions around the lengthwise axis of the bottom groove, but not quite as far as the edge of the opposite groove, so that a narrow orifice is left between each fastening member edge and the opposite bottom groove edge.
  • the orifices of the fastening members are directed, i.e. opened, to different directions, at about 180 degrees with respect to each other.
  • the radius of curvature of the fastening members is roughly the same as that of the bottom groove.
  • a crutch is easily attached in the fastening canal of a functional element provided with this kind of fastening members: the crutch body is supported against the bottom groove, so that it is first placed in the discontinuity point left in between the fastening members, whereafter the crutch is turned, so that the lengthwise axis of the crutch is in parallel with the center line of the fastening canal, and now the crutch is in place in the fastening canal, formed by the fastening members and the bottom groove.
  • the turning of the crutch to fit in the fastening canal requires remarkably less strength than with holders of the prior art, where the crutch must be pressed down in a groove-like fastening canal.
  • the fastening members are also somewhat elastic, in which case their radius of curvature can change. At the same time the radius of curvature of the fastening canal also changes, and there is achieved the remarkable advantage that crutches with different body diameters can be fitted in the same fastening canal.
  • the fastening members of the fastening element are turned to opposite directions around the lengthwise axis of the bottom groove, in which case their orifices are directed at 180 degrees with respect to each other, and there is in turn achieved the advantage that the holder is well resistant to vertical impacts in the direction of the holder plane, in which case the fastening between the crutches does not come apart as easily as with known holders.
  • Figure 1 is a top-view illustration of a holder according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the holder of figure 1, viewed from direction II.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the holder of figure 1, viewed from direction III.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the holder of figure 1, viewed from direction IV.
  • Figure 5A illustrates the holder fastening member of the functional element, viewed directly from the center line of the fastening canal towards the fastening member.
  • Figure 5B illustrates the holder fastening member of the functional element, viewed diagonally from the top towards the fastening member.
  • Figures 6A - 6C illustrate the holder as well as a forearm crutch body in different positions with respect to the holder functional element.
  • Figure 1 is a top-view illustration of a holder 1 according to the invention, i.e. the holder is viewed from an angle where the structural details of the functional element 3; 3' located at the front of the holder are best observed.
  • the holder 1 includes a functional element 3' and a fastening element 3".
  • the fastening element 3; 3" of the holder is visible behind the functional element.
  • the functional element 3' and the fastening element 3" are mutually attached at the rear of the U-shaped bottom grooves 34 thereof.
  • the functional element 3' and the fastening element 3" are both provided with two blades used as fastening members 31 and 32, which are connected to the U-shaped bottom groove 34. Together with the bottom groove, the fastening members 31 and 32 form a fastening canal 5.
  • the center lines P; P1 and P; P2 of the fastening canals 5; 5' and 5; 5" of the functional element 3' and the fastening element 3" are placed at an angle ⁇ with respect to each other.
  • the length of the blades of the functional element 3' is roughly half of the length of the bottom groove 34 of the functional element, whereas the length of the blades of the fastening element 3" is equal to that of the bottom groove 34 of the fastening element.
  • Figure 3 shows the spiraling shape of the blade 31 and 32 of the fastening element 3; 3", when they turn around the bottom groove 34.
  • the blades 31 and 32 extend along the whole length of the groove, and in between the blade edges 31 b and 32b, there is left a narrow orifice 6; 6'.
  • the shape of the blades of the functional element 3; 3' it is illustrated in more detail in figures 5A and 5B.
  • Figure 4 illustrates how the functional element 3; 3' and the fastening element 3; 3" of the holder 1 are fastened together by means of a connector 2.
  • the drawing also clearly shows the curved shape of the fastening canal 5; 5' of the functional element, and the fastening member orifice 6; 6' and 6; 6'b, left between each blade tip 32b and 31 b located at the end of the bottom groove and the opposite edge of the bottom groove.
  • the functional element and the fastening element can also be joined together in some other ways that are described below.
  • Figure 5A shows in more detail the front edge 31 a of the blade 31 of the functional element 3'. I n between the tip 31 b of the front edge 31 a and the end 34b of the bottom groove 34, there is left an orifice 6.
  • the radius of curvature R; R2 of the blade, and the radius of curvature R; R1 of the bottom groove, are roughly equal.
  • the employed center point of the radius of curvature is the imaginary center line P; P1 of the fastening canal 5.
  • Figure 5B shows that the shape of the blade 31 is spiraling and widens towards the end of the groove 34.
  • the tip 31 b of the blade is placed at the end of the groove.
  • the front edge 31a of the blade seems to turn in a spiraling way with respect to the observation point B located around the middle of the center line P; P1.
  • FIGS 6A , 6B and 6C show a holder 1 where a forearm crutch S is placed in different positions with respect to the functional element 3' and fastening element 3" of the holder.
  • This series of drawings illustrates how a forearm crutch is turned in relation to the fastening elements of the holder, when it should be fastened to the holder 1.
  • the holder 1 comprises two elements 3 to be attached to the crutches, a functional element 3' seen at the front in figure 1, and a fastening element 3" seen further in the background.
  • the functional element is meant to be detachably attached to the first crutch of a pair of forearm crutches, whereas the fastening element 3" is meant to be fastened more or less permanently to the second crutch of the pair of forearm crutches.
  • the respective center lines P; P1 and P; P2 of the fastening canals 5; 5' and 5; 5" of the functional element 3' and the fastening element 3" are marked by dotted lines, and in between said center lines P1 and P2, there is left an angle ⁇ , i.e. the fastening elements 3' and 3" are located at a given angle ⁇ with respect to each other, thus forming a roughly X-shaped holder 1 (figure 6c).
  • the size of the angle ⁇ depends on at which point of the body of a forearm or underarm crutch the holder is positioned by the stationary fastening element 3". In case the holder is attached higher in the body of the second crutch, said angle must be wide, so that the setting of the first crutch in the functional element 3; 3' of the holder is carried out without difficulty.
  • the fastening members 31 and 32 of said fastening element 3' are formed of two identical blades that are attached to the lengthwise edges of the bottom groove 34 of the fastening element 3'.
  • the blades 31 and 32 together with the bottom groove 34 form a fastening canal 5; 5' , in which the body of a forearm or underarm crutch shall be set in parallel with the bottom groove.
  • the blades 31 and 32 are narrowed when proceeding from the ends of the bottom groove towards the center part 34a. Blades are not attached to the lengthwise edges of the bottom groove at just the center part 34a, i.e. here the fastening canal 5' has a bladeless discontinuity point.
  • the center line P; P1 of the fastening canal 5; 5' passes through the nominal center point (cf. figure 5A) of the radius of curvature of the bottom groove and the radius of curvature of the fastening members.
  • the respective rear edges 31 d and 32d of the blades 31 and 32, located at the ends of the groove, are roughly perpendicular to the center line P; P1 of the fastening canal 5; 5', whereas the front edges 31 a and 32a of the blades 31 and 32 are inclined, i.e. placed at an angle ⁇ with respect to the same center line P; P1.
  • a bladeless discontinuity point 7 In between the front edges 31 a and 32a of the blades, there is left a bladeless discontinuity point 7, the center line P; P3 of which also is placed at an angle ⁇ with respect to the center line P; P1 of said fastening canal 5; 5'. At the discontinuity point, a blade is not connected to either of the bottom groove edges.
  • Both the front edges 31 a, 32a and the rear edges 31 d, 32d of the blades begin at the blade bases 31 c and 32c and meet at the blade tips 31 b and 32b located at the ends of the groove 34.
  • Said blade bases 31 c and 32c are attached to the lengthwise edges 34b and 34c of the bottom groove 34.
  • the blades 31 and 32 are widened while proceeding from the center part 34a of the groove towards the bases 31 c and 32c, and the front edges 31 a and 32a of the blades are placed at an angle deviant from a right angle with respect to the lengthwise axis P; P1 of the groove 34, so that the blades 31 and 32 seem to turn clockwise in a spiraling way when viewing them from the center part 34a.
  • Figure 5B shows how the edge 31 a of the blade 31 turns in a spiraling way around the point B of the fastening canal 5; 51' located in the middle of the blade length, when viewing the blade somewhat diagonally with respect to the direction of the center line.
  • the blade 31 is curved, so that the front and rear edges of its casing form a circle with a radius R; R2; figure 5A illustrates the curvature of the blade 31, but because the structure of the blade 32 is identical, it curves in the same way with a radius R2.
  • the front edge 31a of the blade 31 seems to make a circle clockwise, when said blade is observed at right angles from the center line P; P1.
  • the base 31 c of the first blade 31 is connected to the first lengthwise edge 34c of the bottom groove, and said blade curves clockwise while its radius of curvature is R; R2. Now the nominal center point of the radius of curvature is placed on the center line P; P1 located in the fastening canal 5 of the fastening element 3.
  • the blades 31, 32 are turned clockwise when viewing them from the discontinuity point 7.
  • the blades 31, 32 could as well be turned counterclockwise when viewing them from the discontinuity point, in case this would be functional for instance from the point of view of the left or right handedness of the holder.
  • the first blade 31 of the fastening canal 5; 5' of the functional element 3' opens towards the viewer, in which case the orifice 6; 6'a left between the blade tip 31 b and the lengthwise edge 34c of the bottom groove 34 of the fastening canal is directed towards the viewer.
  • the second blade 32 of the fastening canal i.e. its orifice 6; 6'b, opens away from the viewer, and its opening direction is 180 degrees in relation to the opening direction of said first blade.
  • the radius of curvature of the concave side of the bottom groove 34 of the fastening canal, facing the viewer, is R; R1, cf. figure 5A.
  • the radius of curvature R; R1 of the bottom groove 34 of the fastening canal 5; 5' is roughly equal to the radius of curvature R; R2 of the cross-sectional profile of the fastening canal blade 31 (and 32) (figure 5A).
  • Said radii of curvature R; R1 and R; R2 are arranged to be such that a crutch with a given round diameter fits in the cylindrical fastening canal 5' that is formed of the bottom groove 34 and of the blades 31, 32 turned around it.
  • the cylindrical fastening canal 5' has a bladeless discontinuity point 7 between the front edges 31 a and 32a of the blades, in order to set the crutch in the bottom groove (figures 1 and 2).
  • the blades 31 and 32 are made of an elastic material, such as plastic, in which case the radius R; R2 of their cross-sectional profile changes, when necessary, along with the changes of the radius of the fastening canal 5.
  • the functional element 3' and the fastening element 3" could also be joined by some other means; among exemplary fastening methods, let us point out the fastening of the functional element and the fastening element detachably by a friction joint, such as a screw joint, or locking basing on a design, such as a pin-and-sleeve joint, or permanently by an adhesion joint, such as a glue joint or sound welding.
  • a friction joint such as a screw joint
  • locking basing on a design such as a pin-and-sleeve joint
  • an adhesion joint such as a glue joint or sound welding.
  • the crutch S is detachably attached to the holder 1 in the way illustrated in figure 6 (the crutch to be set permanently in the fastening element 3" is not illustrated).
  • the crutch S is placed in the discontinuity point 7 of the fastening canal 5 of the functional element 3; 3', in between the slanted front edges 31 a, 32a of the blades 31 and 32, so that the center line L; L1 of the crutch is roughly parallel with the center line P; P3 of the discontinuity point of the blades, in which case the crutch S is positioned at an angle ⁇ with respect to the center line P; P1 of the fastening canal.
  • the placing of the crutch in the way described above in the fastening canal 5 of the functional element 3' requires remarkably less strength than with known holders, where the fastening canal is a mere groove; in case the canal is a mere groove or corresponding formation, the shape and radius of curvature of the groove must be made to precisely conform to the shape of the crutch, which means that the fit must be tight, and setting the crutch in a groove with a tight fit in turn requires remarkably strength. From this kind of groove, the crutch is easily detached owing to impacts that are vertical in relation to the plane of the groove.
  • the crutch is placed in the discontinuity point of the fastening canal, at an angle ⁇ with respect to the center line of the fastening canal, whereafter it is turned so that the crutch slides, through the orifices 6; 6' and 6; 6" of the curved fastening members 31 and 32 opening to opposite directions, to the fastening canal 5 formed by the fastening members 31 and 32 and the bottom groove 34.
  • the crutch is at the top held by the curved bottom groove 34, and on the other hand by the curved fastening members 31 and 32 opening to different directions, which means that it is not easily detached owing to vertical impacts directed to the holder plane.
  • the fastening members 31 and 32 are elastic, so that they allow a certain degree of expansion in the radius R; R2, which means that forearm or underarm crutches S of different thicknesses can be fitted in the fastening canal 5.
  • the shape and detailed structure of the blades can differ from what is set forth above.
  • the fastening canals provided in the functional elements and fastening elements can also be different.
  • the fastening canal of the fastening element 3" can be an elongate groove, the concave shape of which corresponds to the convex shape of the body of the forearm or underarm crutch to be placed in said groove.
  • the fastening canal of the fastening element 3" may also be formed of a pipe, in which the second crutch body can be fitted.
  • the fastening element is in practice formed of said tubular fastening canal only.
  • the crutch body is inserted in this kind of pipe employed as the fastening canal before the forearm or underarm supports are connected to the crutch part of the forearm or underarm crutches.
  • the fastening element with a tubular fastening canal may also be connected to a forearm or underarm crutch obtained after compiling the forearm or underarm supports and the crutch body.
  • the insertion is carried out either at the bottom end of the crutch part, or by dismantling the structures of the forearm or underarm support.
  • the ratio of the inner diameter of the pipe used as the second fastening element to the outer diameter of the crutch body is such that said fastening element cannot move by itself up and down in the lengthwise direction of the crutch body.
  • the friction between the crutch body and the fastening element 3" must still be such that the holder can be moved up and down on said crutch body by using only a little strength, or that the holder can be turned round the crutch body.
  • the crimp joint of the fastening members of the functional element with the crutch body fitted therein is more easily opened than the crimp joint of the fastening members of the fastening element with the crutch body fitted in said fastening element.
  • the reason for this is that the compression strength of the fastening members of the fastening element with the crutch body is arranged to be higher, and that the fastening element and the functional element are removed from the crutch body in different ways.
  • the described different compression strength is realized for instance like in the drawings, where the fastening members pass from one end of the fastening groove 54 to the other, and the discontinuity point arranged in between the fastening members is remarkably narrower than in the first fastening element.
  • This arrangement can, however, be realized in many other ways, too, for example by selecting different plastic materials for the fastening elements, or different material strengths for one and the same plastic type, etc.
  • the functional element is removed from the crutch body by turning the crutch counterclockwise on the plane of the mutually crosswise attached crutches, until the crutch body is placed at the discontinuity point, and thereafter simply by removing the crutch that was released from the crimp joint of the blades from the functional element.
  • the setting of the crutch body is carried out on the contrary order, as was already specified in connection with the description of figure 6.
  • the crutch when removing a crutch from the fastening element, or when setting a crutch body in the fastening element, the crutch must be pulled or pushed at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the plane of the mutually attached crutches, and in this direction the moving of the crutches requires remarkably more strength than when turning the crutch body along the plane of the crutches.
