Description

Description

Technical features

1) - Handle with “Ergonomic” grip, that is, it offers an easy positioning of the hand. Inside there is an electrical system complete with power supply battery, while the illuminating part extends, respectively, into the first part of the Rod or Stick body whose characteristic is to be, objectively, transparent and therefore capable of emitting the characteristic radiated brightness of the internal electrical system.

At the top of the handle there is a P light control switch with a tilting lever which gives us the possibility of knowing when the luminous part is active. This occurs when an edge of the rocker lever signals its roughness to the touch of the finger. Its position is not protruding outwards.

2) - STICK and ARM directional and orientation.

They differ in their different structure of their neck and related characteristics of specific use to which they, likewise, identify themselves. Furthermore, for both their stick structure can be reducible in its relative structural height.

3) - Basically the cylindrical body of the Stick and Rod are coated with a reflective luminous film which, according to the law, diversifies the category to which the disabled user belongs, called * Weak road user *. a) „“ Visually impaired ”- b)„ “Blind” - c) „“ Deaf-blind ”The International Code of the Road establishes that: the disabled a) and the disabled b) are identified with the White colored stick.

The disabled person c) identifies himself with the colored stick with stripes: white and red.

4) - The same structural characteristics are the corresponding light switch and the wrist attachment of the disabled person. The latter easily ensures the position of the arm, even if it requires the hand for an unexpected need.

5) - The support tip, both of the stick and of the shaft, safely performs two phases of high functionality and importance. During the use of the cane it is a valid and safe point of support and support; in the internal and external environment surrounding the disabled, he is essentially also required to have to scan the space in front of him for an exact knowledge of the road surface conditions and obstacles to be avoided. During its use as such a tool, move the stick in a fan-like rotation, and in this maneuver the support tip turns into a real rotating head without any increase in strain or dislocation on the wrist of the arm operating the Stick.

If the use of the Auction is not the same as the use of the Stick, it is absolutely similar for the purpose for which both are intended.

Both are configured in a long channel in which the information needed by the "disabled" to walk the street is chased. They are the extension of the blind person's arm as he walks and uses them to know the way and focuses on a basic existential need, step by step because it is not the disabled person who has to intuit the impending danger and above all make himself noticed. His arm performs operations that depend on the cause of using the Stick or Rod. It is a prosthesis that filters the available information and he only makes certain experiences accessible and, as mentioned above, appears again as the extension of the hand that he uses as a very sensitive sounder in signaling everything that presents itself in front of him, in every moment.

The brightness radiated by the staff and the luminous AUCTION is the existential testimony of the disabled person on the road and completely unaware of the danger that hangs over him without his knowledge. The aforementioned brightness is also and above all also a great gift addressed to the one specifically defined as a “strong user of the road”. It clarifies and confirms and, moreover, it is clear that: either in the particular conditions of low ambient or atmospheric light, the current type of Stick and Rod, only painted, do not offer, in the least, the objective safety that the blind needs.

The solution offered by the invention, referred to in the title, not only integrates the expectation brought by the new law but also amplifies its objective and subjective usefulness due to the high degree of security it offers in reporting, in real time, the presence of the disabled person and of everything else for which it is intended for use, both for the characteristic reflective light of the respective colored bands 9) for the white and red cane, reserved for the disabled deafblind. For the visually impaired and blind disabled, the characteristic white reflective light single band 20) is required for the white cane. They are the essential normative point of the law to which the present invention is inspired and identified.

The drawing referred to in the single table in the annex illustrates its primary characteristics and reference will be made to it for the parts described below; moreover, it shows the stick as a whole both in its structure and in the class it belongs to on the basis of the relative light bands mentioned above, as well as in its specific components.

The above drawing, in figure A) highlights its tubular structure 9), of light material, be it Aluminum, Fiberglass, carbon fiber, or the usual wood for high quality sticks, or of another type of material (bamboo) considering, specifically, its type of intended use. The terminal part covered by the transparent polycarbonate tube 11), band 10), duly supported, while the Led 12) with the same light intensity completes the luminous line of the stick. Furthermore, figure A) indicates the inside of the handle 1) which container of the electrical system group, i.e. a battery 7) connected to the light switch 4) and to the coaxial connection 8) for recharging the said battery?) . They include high-brightness electronic LEDs with intermittent red light. Of the handle 1), the orgonometric structure grip is substantially formed by two opposing half shells: right shell D), left shell S) aligned and joined by self-tapping screw 2) and by the locking screw 3) suitable for a solid locking of the handle 1) to the stick body 9). Figure B) indicates as a whole the extreme support tip whose peculiar characteristic is to transform itself, instantaneously into a rotating head, bringing the great advantage, to the disabled, in the imperative need to use the stick in the manner of A S T A projected forward and moved fan-shaped, from right to left and vice versa, for the necessary sounding of the space in front. The safety lace 17), enslaved by the slider 18) ensures a valid and comfortable hold on the wearer's wrist. The component parts can be replaced with a new technical evolution, without any alteration of the fundamental characteristic that distinguishes the present invention.
