Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable people whose ability to walk is impaired or people who climb mountains to walk in a dark place illuminated with light by attaching a battery, solar array panel, or the like to their a cane, walker, or wheelchair. <P>SOLUTION: The battery, solar array panel, electric wire, light bulb, etc., are incorporated in the cane, walker, wheelchair, or the like, which has a conventional shape, without decreasing their strength, to illuminate an area near a hand or foot with light in a dark place so as to enable smooth walking. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

この発明は、従来使用されている杖、歩行器、車椅子等の一部分に、乾電池や電線、電球等々をとりつけて暗い場所で点灯させることを目的としたものである。又、杖、歩行器、車椅子等に太陽光発電システムを設置すると暗くなると自然点灯するのでそれを利用したものである。 An object of the present invention is to attach a dry battery, an electric wire, a light bulb, or the like to a part of a conventionally used cane, walker, wheelchair or the like and light it in a dark place. In addition, when a solar power generation system is installed on a cane, walker, wheelchair, etc., it will light up naturally when it gets dark, so it is used.

Problems to be solved by the invention

足が不自由な方々や山登りをされる方々が、暗い場を歩く時少しでも不自由なことがないように、手元や足元を照らす光を杖、歩行器、車椅子等に組み込こませたものである。 Lights that illuminate the hands and feet are incorporated into walking sticks, walker, wheelchairs, etc. so that people with reduced mobility and people climbing mountains are not inconvenienced even when walking in a dark place. Is.

Means to solve the problem

従来使用されている形と同じ形の杖、歩行器、車椅子等の強度をそこなわない一部分に空洞（７）を作り、そこに乾電池（１）又は太陽電池パネル（６）電線（２）電球（３）飛散防止フィルム（８）等々を組み込み、暗い場所においてスイッチで点灯、もしくは太陽光発電で自然点灯し、杖、歩行器、車椅子等で歩行する場合に手元や足元に光があたり歩行がスムーズに行なわれるようにする。 A hollow (7) is made in a part of the same shape as a conventionally used cane, walker, wheelchair, etc. that does not impair strength, and a dry battery (1) or solar panel (6) electric wire (2) light bulb there (3) Built-in anti-scattering film (8), etc., is lit with a switch in a dark place, or is naturally lit with solar power generation, and when walking with a cane, walker, wheelchair, etc. Try to be smooth.

Embodiment of the Invention

以下、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
（イ）乾電池を使用した場合
従来使用されていると同様の形の杖、歩行器、車椅子等の強度をそこなわない一部分に、必要最少限の空洞（７）を作り、そこに高性能の乾電池（１）や電線（２）電球（３）等々を組み込み、飛散防止フィルムを貼った強化アクリル板（５）をすき間のない様ぴったりと貼りつけ、スイッチ（４）で暗い時等に点灯できるようにしたものである。
（ロ）太陽電池パネルを使用した場合
従来使用されていると同様の形の杖、歩行器、車椅子等の強度をそこなわない一部分に、必要最少限の空洞（７）を作り、そこに高性能の太陽電池パネル（６）と電球（３）電線（２）等々を組み込み、表面を飛散防止フィルム（８）でおおい太陽電池パネル（６）を十分に太陽光にあてて、暗くなった時に自然点灯させ、杖、歩行器、車椅子等を暗い場所で使用する時に、手元や足元が光で明るく照らせるようにしたものである。本発明は以上の構成からなるので、乾電池を使用した場合にスイッチを入れる等の必要性はあるものの特別むずかしい使用方法はないという利点がある。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(I) When using dry batteries Make the minimum required cavity (7) in a part that does not impair the strength of a cane, walker, wheelchair, etc. in the same shape as used in the past, and there is a high performance in it. Built-in dry battery (1), electric wire (2), light bulb (3), etc., reinforced acrylic plate (5) with anti-scattering film attached, without any gaps, and can be lit in the dark with switch (4) It is what I did.
(B) When using a solar cell panel Make the minimum required cavity (7) in a part that does not impair the strength of a cane, walker, wheelchair, etc. in the same shape as used in the past. When the solar panel (6) and the light bulb (3), the electric wire (2), etc. of the performance are incorporated, the surface is covered with the anti-scattering film (8), and the solar panel (6) is sufficiently exposed to the sunlight. Naturally lit so that hands and feet can be brightly illuminated with light when using a cane, walker, wheelchair, etc. in a dark place. Since the present invention is constituted as described above, there is an advantage that there is no special difficult usage method although there is a need to turn on the switch when a dry battery is used.

The invention's effect

足の不自由な方々や登山される方々が使用する杖、歩行器、車椅子等が暗い場所で使用する時に、手元や足元が光で照らされ明るくなると転倒などの危険も少なくなり歩行に大変便利になると思われる。また特別むずかしい操作をする必要もないので、体の不自由な方にも使用していただけると思う。When the cane, walker, wheelchair, etc. used by people with reduced mobility or climbing are used in a dark place, if the hands and feet are illuminated with light, the risk of falling etc. is reduced and it is very convenient for walking It seems to become. There is no need for special difficult operations, so it can be used by people with reduced mobility.
