Abstract

The invention relates to a device which makes it possible to grip or to pick up objects without having to bend down. The device is in the form of a traditional walking stick, the removed protective case 14 revealing two tongs which are open at the end of the stick. The user squeezes the lever 8 against the grip, using his index finger and middle finger, and this lifts a return rod 2 which controls a transmission shaft 13, this shaft causes the end of two articulated tongs 3 to close on the desired object; having thus gripped it the user transfers the object to his other hand which has remained free and releases the lever 8 which reassumes its initial position, as do the tongs 3 which release the object by virtue of the force of the spring 4. The case 14 is equipped with a magnet for picking up small ferrous objects. The device according to the invention is intended particularly for persons who are handicapped and unable to bend down.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui permet de saisir où de ramasser toute une multitude d'objets, sans avoir à se baisser, celle-ci peut apporter une certaine aide à toute personne (en particulier handicapée). The present invention relates to a device which makes it possible to grasp where to pick up a whole multitude of objects, without having to stoop down, this can bring some help to any person (in particular disabled).

L'invention se présente sous la forme d'une canne de marche tra ditionnelie réalisé en alliage léger munie à son extrémité inférieur d'une pince de retenue articulée, permettant de saisir l'objet selon l'écartement de celle-ci. Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaitront de la description suivante aux dessins annéxés. The invention is in the form of a traditional walking stick made of light alloy provided at its lower end with an articulated retaining clip, making it possible to grasp the object according to the spacing thereof. The characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description in the appended drawings.

Pour rendre le dispositif opérationnel, l'utilisateur enlève d'abord l'étui de protection (14) par simple traction ensuite, il agit en serrant le levier (8) contre la crosse à l'aide de son index et de son majeur, le levier (8) qui prend appui sur la bague (9) et démultiple l'effort et le transmet grâce à une liaison articulée à la tige de rappel (2) qui elle même agit sur l'axe de transmission (131. L'axe tel3) éxécutant une translation de bas en haut entrainant de ce fait les talons des pinces (3) qui pivotent autour de leur axe (17). L'extrémité inférieur des pinces (3J se referme et saisissent l'objet, l'utilisateur ramène cet objet au niveau de son autre main restée libre, il relâche le levier (8) qui reprend sa position initiale, ainsi que les pinces et l'objet est libéré de son étreinte grâce à l'effort du ressort(4).  To make the device operational, the user first removes the protective case (14) by simple pull, then he acts by tightening the lever (8) against the butt using his index and middle fingers, the lever (8) which bears on the ring (9) and multiplies the effort and transmits it by means of an articulated connection to the return rod (2) which itself acts on the transmission axis (131. The axis tel3) performing a translation from bottom to top thereby causing the heels of the clamps (3) which pivot around their axis (17). The lower end of the pliers (3J closes and grips the object, the user brings this object back to the level of his other hand, which remains free, he releases the lever (8) which returns to its initial position, as well as the pliers and the he object is released from its grip thanks to the force of the spring (4).
