Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem of a walk training crutch that, because a generally used convenient crutch for walk training is a one pole type, a user is apt to fall down by only small stumbling in walk training on the street, causing injury, also a rest is required in the training, and in some cases, use of public transport (bus or tram etc.) is inevitable for going to a distant place. <P>SOLUTION: The fall-proof type crutch with stool has a structure that a fall-proof stick 2 is attached to prevent falling down by only small stumbling during walk training on the street and a three point grounding is adopted for standing firmly. A safety belt 3 is attached to a pair of crutches, and frame beams 4, 5 attached to one crutch are set on the other crutch to make the crutches usable as a stool on site. Because the pair of crutches has a structure to be piled up and carried, the crutches can be used anywhere. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a crutch used for walking training and the like, and relates to a fall-proof crutch with a seat that can be used as a stool for a break and has a structure that does not fall even if a slight stumbling on the road.

A typical crutch is almost a single pillar type, so it can easily fall over even with a slight stumbling. In the case of a break during training, it is necessary to prepare a seat. A frame with a built-in stool is large and inconvenient to bring in when using transportation (bus, train, etc.).

Although a crutch is used for walking training, etc., since a general crutch is a single support, training on the road is easy to fall over and easily get hurt. Breaks during training are also required, and in some cases, transportation (buses, trains, etc.) is used for long trips. The present invention has been made to solve this problem.

In order to prevent the fall, the fall prevention cane 2 is incorporated into three grounded crutches, and the safety belt 3 is not attached to the pair of crutches so as not to be separated. In order to set as a seat, frame beams 4 and 5 are attached to one crutch, and a set latch 9 for assembling it is attached to the other.
A pair of crutches can be stacked and carried, and it has a structure that does not take up space, so it is easy to carry.

Since the fall prevention cane 2 is incorporated into the crutch, the ground prevention effect is great because it is a three-point ground. The safety belt 3 and the frame beams 4 and 5 are assembled to a pair of crutches, and since it can be easily set as a seat, a break during walking training can be easily taken. Both crutches are connected by a safety belt and can be stacked, making it convenient to carry.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
(I). Attach the anti-falling cane 2 to the crutch and make a 3-point ground.
A safety belt 3 and frame beams 4 and 5 can be attached to a pair of crutches and set as a seat.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of a crutch, a side view and a plan view of a pair of crutches in a seated state. FIG. 2 shows a front view, a side view, and a plan view of a pair of crutches in use during running training. FIG. 3 shows a front view, a side view, and a plan view of a use state as a seat for a break during running training.

In FIG. 1, the components of a pair of crutches are shown. A fall prevention cane 2 is attached to the crutch main body 1 with beams 2a, 2b and 2c. Both ends of the safety belt 3 are coupled to both crutches 2a. The frame beams 4 and 5 of the stool set are fixed to a crutch on one side with a mounting pin 8 and a storage latch 10. In the crutch grounding portion, a sliding pad 6 is screwed to the seat plate 7.

In the side view and plan view of FIG. 1, the set state is shown as a seat. The frame beams 4 and 5 can be used as a seat by setting the crutches on one side crutch and setting the safety belt 3 wide.

In FIG. 2, at the time of running training, both ends of the safety belt 3 are connected to each crutch and are not separated. Frame beams 4 and 5 are housed in crutches on one side and do not interfere with running training. The anti-falling cane 2 can be grounded and stood against the tilting of the body from side to side due to tripping on the road.

In FIG. 3, the use state is shown as a seat for a break during running training. The frame beams 4 and 5 housed in one crutch can be fitted into the set latch 9 of the other crutch and formed as a seat. The safety belt 3 is set to be widened to receive the buttocks by shifting the positions of the latches at both ends. The crutch 1 is stable because it is grounded at three locations.

It is the front view of the fall prevention crutch with a seat of the Example of this invention, the side view of a set state as a seat, and a top view.
