Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

Industrial application fields

The present invention relates to a strap attached to a walking stick, a folding umbrella, a mobile phone or the like for assisting walking.

A strap, which is a large ring-shaped string that passes the wrist, is attached to the gripping part of a gripping object such as a cane, umbrella, or mobile phone. For example, with a cane, the hand holding the cane can be used for other purposes. For this purpose, a method of gripping the cane through the wrist on this ring-like string is taken.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  However, in the conventional method, since the diameter of the ring is large in order to facilitate putting in and out of the wrist, the ring-shaped string may fall out of the wrist and drop the cane if the hand is lowered even through the wrist. It happened easily. For this reason, the user must always be careful from the wrist to the hand, for example, when picking up goods at a store or buying a ticket at a station, which is a mental burden and neglects attention to others. There was. In addition, there are many muscles connected to the fingertips, including the flexor muscles on the wrist, but tying the wrist to the strap restricts the movement of this muscle, creating a sense of restraint from the wrist to the fingertip, Was supposed to undermine the degree of freedom. In order to prevent the ring-shaped string from coming off from the wrist as described above, a method of squeezing the ring-shaped string with the wrist has also been proposed, but the muscle is tightened more strongly at the wrist part, and the degree of freedom of the fingertip is further increased. There was a problem of being damaged.

An object of this invention is to provide the strap for grasping objects which can solve the said subject of the conventional strap.

Means for solving the problem

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of conventional straps by providing an annular band to be attached to a finger and a connecting string portion connecting the annular band and a gripped object.

Action

According to the configuration of the first aspect, for example, by passing a small annular band through the finger of the hand holding the cane, the freedom of the other fingertips can be secured, and the cane strap can be provided without fear of falling off.
According to the configuration of the second aspect, it is possible to prevent the finger from being damaged due to an unexpectedly large force being applied to the finger while being able to be attached to the finger.
According to the configuration of claim 3, damage to the finger can be prevented regardless of the material of the strap.

Examples will be described below. FIG. 1 shows a conventional example of a strap. The strap body is formed in an annular shape. 2 is a connection body wound around the handle of the cane, 3 is a metal ring formed of a metal wire wound in a coiled shape and provided in the connection part of the strap, and in the hole provided in the connection body 2 Connect with the cane by passing it through. The metal ring 3 and the strap body 1 are connected by passing a string connected to the strap body 1 through the metal ring 3. When the user grasps the grasping portion of the cane, as shown in FIG. 2, the user can easily drop the cane even when the hand is released by grasping the grasping portion through the hand in the widely formed ring of the strap body 1. It prevents that. However, since the loop of the strap body 1 is made much larger than the hand so that the hand can be easily passed, the strap body 1 is likely to slide down when the hand is turned downward. Moreover, since the load of a cane is applied to a wrist, the movement of the flexor in the wrist for bending a finger is limited. For this reason, when the load of the cane is small, it becomes a sense of restraint and psychologically restricts the movement of the hand, and when the load is heavy, the finger is made difficult to move. For this reason, for example, when shopping with various vending machines, taking out a wallet from a pocket, etc., the wrist is worried, the finger feels restrained, the movement of the finger becomes awkward, In addition, the staff may be dropped. For these reasons, it is also possible to use a cane without using a strap, or to pull out a hand from the strap and rest the cane against a wall or the like at the occasion of shopping or the like. This means that when the hand holding the cane is used for other purposes, the original role of the strap, which is performed without removing the cane from the body, is not exhibited.
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which the strap body 1 has a ring-shaped band 6 having a natural circumferential length of 10 cm or less at the tip, and a connecting string portion 7 connected to the metal ring 3 at the other end. . As shown in FIG. 4, the strap is used by attaching the ring-shaped band 6 of the strap to the finger of the hand holding the cane. Even if there is a sense of restraint on the fingertip, it is possible to use the finger freely with very little sense of restraint as a whole, even if a sense of restraint occurs on the fingertip. The same effect can be obtained with any finger. Although the effect is obtained even if the annular band 6 is made of a non-stretchable material, it is more preferably made of a stretchable material such as a rubber string or made stretchable depending on the structure. Since the ring-shaped belt 6 extends even when fitted on the finger by being made to be extensible, it can be easily attached and can be attached to the finger without a gap, so that it cannot be easily removed. Further, when the finger inserted into the annular band 6 is strongly pulled by the cane, the annular band extends to prevent an impact on the finger, and a gap is formed between the inserted finger and the finger is easily removed. Become. For this reason, it can prevent damaging a finger.
Usually, the thickness of the thumb is considered to be 8 cm or less. In the case of a non-stretchable ring-shaped band, it is easy to insert the ring-shaped band if the circumference of the ring-shaped band is longer by 1 cm than the circumference of the finger to be fitted. However, if it is longer than 2 cm, it will be easy to come off. Therefore, the perimeter is 10 cm or less. In addition, the circumference of the ring finger is usually about 4 cm or more based on the size of the ring. Therefore, the circumference of the ring-shaped band fitted on the finger of the hand is 4 cm or more and 10 cm or less.
FIG. 5 shows means for releasing the connection between the wand and the finger when a force greater than a predetermined value is applied to the finger. FIG. 5A shows the metal ring 3 in a single ring shape.
As shown in FIG.5 (b), it passes through the hole of the coupling body 2, and connects a cane and a strap main body. With the strap body, the tip 4 of the connecting string is folded through the metal ring 3 to form a ring shape. Even if the ring-shaped band 6 is made of a material that hardly expands or contracts, the metal ring 3 can be seen in FIG. 5C even when a finger inserted into the ring-shaped band 6 is pulled strongly by a cane for some reason. As shown, since the ring is stretched, it can be prevented from coming off the hole of the connecting body 2 and damaging the finger. Instead of the metal ring 3, a thin string that can be cut when a force greater than a predetermined value is applied to the finger may be provided at the tip or in the middle of the strap.
FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The parts corresponding to the ring-shaped band 6, the connecting string 7, and the metal ring 3 are made of synthetic resin, and the parts of the ring-shaped band 6 and the connecting string 7 are formed in a coil shape. Although the elasticity of the synthetic resin itself, which is a material, is slight, it can have a great elasticity by forming it in a coil shape.
Although the above has mainly described the cane, there are exactly the same advantages when applied to hand tools such as umbrellas, mobile phones, and light tools as well as canes.
In addition to the above example, it is needless to say that a ring having a large diameter may be made and the finger is inserted and then squeezed so that the diameter matches the thickness of the finger to connect the finger and the grasped object.

The invention's effect

The present invention provides a gripping object strap that is free of fingertips and that does not have to worry about falling off by providing an annular band having a circumference of 10 cm or less and a connecting string portion that connects the annular band and a cane when worn on a finger. There is an effect that can be provided.
