Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide crutches having little anxiety of causing neurological disorder by compressing nerves passing through the armpit because each armpit support is burdened with a body weight.SOLUTION: A seat 2 suspended from each armpit support by suspension belts 4 between two sticks of crutches is burdened with a body weight to disperse the body weight, and to thereby reduce a physical burden.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

Description

The present invention relates to a detachable seat that makes it possible to sit between two crutches.

Conventionally, in the double crutch used when walking with a person with a disability in the foot, the burden on the body was large.

Hereinafter, in the double crutch shown in FIG. 7, when too much weight is applied to the armpit 7, nerves passing through the armpits may be pressed to cause neuropathy.

The conventional crutches described above have a heavy physical burden on the user.

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of such a conventional configuration, and an object thereof is to provide a seat on a crutch to achieve weight distribution.

And in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention attaches a seat 1 for supporting the weight between the crutches and attaching / detaching the crutches .
The seat 1 to be attached to and detached from the crutch is made of a soft sheet-like synthetic rubber, synthetic leather, or synthetic resin having a thickness of several millimeters to 10 millimeters, and the seat portion 2 is 45 cm in length and 30 cm in length and has a foot therein. Two side-by-side openings 3 having a diameter of about 18 cm are provided, and a suspension belt portion 4 having a width of about 8 cm and a length of about 60 cm is extended outward from both ends of the seat portion 2, and a hook-and-loop fastener on the back surface As shown in FIG. 2, the person who uses the portion 5 is provided with a suspension belt portion 4 through the opening 3 through which the two feet are passed and pulls up to the crotch as shown in FIG. 3.
When the suspension belt portion 4 is folded back so that the apex of the side portion 7 is straddled from the inside to the outside, the surface fastener portions 5 facing each other are attached to each other and suspended, and the waist can be lowered to the seat portion 2. By sitting down, weight is distributed and the burden is greatly reduced. Furthermore, since the seat 2 is pulled up to the crotch, both feet are free and can walk while sitting.

In the second problem solving means, the seat 2 suspended from the armrest 7 performs a pendulum motion back and forth with the armrest 7 as a base point, so that the balance of the body is maintained.

The operation of the first problem solving means is as follows. That is, the conventional crutch also obtains the stability of walking and holds the weight. However, by providing the seat portion 2, the weight is dispersed. Reduce the burden on the user.

The action of the second problem solving means stabilizes the posture by the pendulum movement of the seat portion 2 and maintains the balance of the center of gravity.

As described above, the seat 1 that is attached to and detached from the crutch of the present invention can reduce the physical burden on the user.

If you feel fatigue while walking, you can rest on the seat 2 to rest.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a seat portion 2 having a length of 30 cm and a width of 45 cm, and there are two openings 3 through which a foot having a diameter of about 18 cm passes. Stretching to the
In FIG. 2, a hook-and-loop fastener portion 5 is provided on the back surface of the suspension belt 4.

FIG. 3 shows a case in which a leg is passed through two openings 3 of the seat portion 2 with a suspension belt portion 4.

Pull up to the inseam as shown in Figure 4

In FIG. 5, the seat belt 2 is suspended by attaching the hook-and-loop fastener portions facing each other by folding the suspension belt portion 4 across the apex of the side support portion 7 of the crutch.

In FIG. 6, the weight is distributed to the grip portion 8 side-to-side portion 7 seat portion 2 and the like.

In FIG. 7, the suspension belt portion 4 performs a pendulum motion back and forth with the side contact portion 7 as a base point.

FIG. 8 shows walking with a conventional crutch.

DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS 1 Seat to attach / detach to / from crutch 2 Seat part 3 Opening part 4 Suspension belt part 5 Surface fastener part 7 Side arm part of crutch 8 Grip of crutch

Hereinafter, in the double crutch shown in FIG. 8 , when too much weight is applied to the armpit 7, nerves passing through the armpits may be pressed to cause nerve damage.

Claims (1)

To set this seat between two crutches, with a suspension belt extending outwardly from both ends of the seat with an opening for two legs and a hook-and-loop fastener on the back of the suspension belt The seat can be hung between the cane and the cane, and the seat can be attached to and detached from the crutch. Although it supports the weight, the seat is raised to the crotch, so there is no hindrance to walking and movement of the lower body, and freedom of foot is secured, so you can walk while sitting.
