Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a walker for assisting walking and training for a person with a disorder in the legs, waist, and spinal cord so that the affected area does not have a burden on the affected area.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the conventional walker, a method of holding a handrail and supporting the body with arms or elbows is generally used. Currently, there are walkers that have the function of supporting the armpits in Japanese Utility Model Sho 58-80227 or Real Kaihei 03-60930, and those that support the armpits with walking sticks and walk on wheels are: Real Kai Sho 62-104821 and Real Kaihei. 04-13117 and actual Kaihei 04-51939.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the existing walker has to support the body with its own arm or the elbow, if the arm is weakened, it loses balance and cannot support the body, or if the elbow supports the body. The waist may bend and the posture may deteriorate. In addition, holding a walker can block both hands. As the walker that supports the armpits, there are currently the inventions of Shokai Sho 58-80227 and Shokaihei 03-60930, and since the Shokai Sho 58-80227 has a large rear wheel structure, it has a bed and chair. It is difficult to use it directly from the etc., and since the left and right support frames are only joined at the front contact point, the support frame must be put under both sides and fixed so that it cannot be opened by both arms. It is difficult. Since there is no wheel at the lower part in the actual Kaihei 03-60930, to use it as a walker, you have to put it forward with your hand each time you walk. Therefore, if you have a person with unpleasant legs, lift the walker. I can't do things and am hard to walk. In addition, there are inventions of supporting the side with a cane and walking with wheels, such as the actual open sho 62-104821, the actual open 04-131 17 and the actual open 04-51939, both of which are used as walkers and are caught by hand. Since the method is a cane, it is not stable and difficult. Therefore, the existing walker has the above-mentioned problems.

An object of the present invention is to use a function of supporting the armpit of a crutch with a walker having a trolley that can be oriented in the lower part of an aerial tube frame formed in a horseshoe shape.

[0005]

[Means for solving the problem]

 Below the aerial tube frame formed in a horseshoe shape, a plurality of directional carts are provided. Above the aerial tube frame, a horseshoe-shaped handrail that can be divided and fixed is provided, and further, each rod at the bottom of the handrail is provided. It can be inserted into the aerial tube frame and slid up and down in it, and the dividable horseshoe-shaped handrail can be telescopically fixed and adjusted to any position infinitely by each rod and each fixing screw. Furthermore, in order to use the parallel central part of the handrail as the armpit support part of the crutch, the rod and the moving aerial tube frame under the handrail are formed into a horseshoe shape through the rotary tube frame. It can be separated from the tube frame, and the handrail can be attached to and removed from the left and right by the rotating tube frame and fixed at any position by the fixing screw. Therefore, the parallel central part of the horseshoe-shaped handrail that can be divided can be used by moving it up and down and further to the left and right according to the physique of the person using it, so the walker also has the function of supporting the armpit of the crutch. It will be a thing.

[0006]

[Action]

 When used as a conventional walker, the dividable horseshoe-shaped handrails are fixed to the arbitrary positions of the person using the rods under the handrails with fixing screws. Furthermore, to support the armpit like a crutch, the central part of the handrail is used as the armpit support, and the rod and the moving aerial tube frame at the lower part of the handrail are formed from the horseshoe-shaped aerial tube frame through the rotary tube frame. The handrail can be fixed to any position by fixing screws by contacting and separating from each other by the rotating tube frame and by the rotating tube frame, and can be fixed at any height by using the rod under the handrail. Therefore, by providing the walker with a portion that supports the armpit of the crutch, the function of the conventional walker and the function of supporting the armpit of the crutch can be used together. Therefore, when using a walker, not only the body is supported by the strength of the arm, but also by supporting the armpit, the back muscles can be further extended without requiring the strength of the arm of the person who is using it. Supporting the armpits of a free person does not put a strain on the waist or spinal cord. Also, for those who use crutches and have poor balance, stability of the walker can be obtained.

【Example】

 To ensure a stable and safe shape for use as a walking aid or rehabilitation, a horseshoe-shaped handrail (1) (2) ( Have and use 3). The horseshoe-shaped handrail is formed by three parts: the front part (1), the central part (2), and the rear part (3), and the lower part is a horseshoe-shaped hollow part similar to the handrail as shown in Figs. The lower part of the aerial tube frame (4) with the tube frame (4) as a pedestal is equipped with a plurality of directional carts (5). The horseshoe-shaped hollow tube frame (4) is designed to be stable by changing the size of the horseshoe-shaped frame (4) at the top and bottom to make the bottom larger than the top as shown in Figs. To

The horseshoe-shaped handrails (1), (2) and (3) are adapted to the height of the person using the handrail so that they can be expanded and contracted as shown in FIGS. The rod (8) extending from the upper part can be slid up and down in the hollow tube frame (4), and the rod (9) extending from the lower part of the handrail central part (2) can be moved up and down in the operating aerial tube frame (10). The respective rods (8) and (9) can be slid onto and the height of each rod (8) (9) is fixed steplessly by the fixing screw (6).

In order to support the body under the armpit like the crutch shown in the embodiment diagram of FIG. 8, the parallel central part (2) of the horseshoe-shaped handrail supports the armpit, and as shown in FIGS. The parallel central part (2) of the handrail of the mold is stretched by using the rod (9) and fixed at an arbitrary position by the fixing screw (6) according to the height of the side of the user. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in order to fit the handrail central portion (2) to the width of the side, the rotary tube (11) is rotated inward and fixed at an arbitrary position with the fixing screw (7). The rotary tube (11) is made by inserting the hollow tube frame (4) into the rotary tube (11) from the front and back to the vicinity of the center so as not to come off. Further, the rod (9) extending from the lower part of the handrail central part (2) is made longer than the other rods (8) as shown in FIG. 3 so that it can be used by a tall person.

When used as a conventional walker, the front part (1) and the rear part (3) of the horseshoe-shaped handrail do not move left and right, but the parallel central part (2) of the horseshoe-shaped handrail is under the armpit. Since it has a function of supporting the body, it moves to the left and right, so to prevent it from moving, it is fixed with a fixing screw (7) so that it does not rotate, and as shown in Fig. 7, the front part (1) and the rear part (3) of the horseshoe-shaped handrail. A fixing part is provided at a position where the handrail central part (2) contacts. The fixing part is located on one side of the horseshoe-shaped handrail front part (1) and the rear part (3) that is in contact with the central part (2) of the handrail from inside the aerial tube frame of the front part (1) and the rear part (3) of the handrail core. The protruding short bar (12) is used as the convex part (12), and the convex part (12) of the short bar protruding from one part is provided on the other part of the surface of the handrail central part (2) that contacts the front part (1) and the rear part (3). In order to fit it, both ends of the air pipe frame at the center of the handrail (2) are deleted by making the convex part (12) of the short rod fit and the lower part is deleted to form the concave part (13). Therefore, the central part (2) of the handrail can be fixed to the left and right without moving because the convex part (12) and the concave part (13) are fitted together.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 When using it as a walker, adjust the height using the rods (8) and (9) to the height of the person who uses the handrail (1) (2) (3) and fix it using the fixing screw (6). To do. Also, the handrail can be divided into the front part (1), the central part (2) and the rear part (3). (2) Since (3) is low, there is an advantage that it is easy to hold and stand. Further, as with the crutch shown in the embodiment diagram of FIG. 8, the central handrail (2) can be applied to the armpit using the rod (9), so that not only the strength of the arm but also the center of the armpit like a walker. The handrail (2) is applied to support the body, and the trolley (5) at the lower part of the aerial tube frame (4) is directional so that the legs, waist, and spinal cord are damaged. It has the effect of allowing a person to walk easily and perform rehabilitation, and also has the effect of extending the spinal cord without requiring the force of the arms to support the body under the armpits. For those who use crutches and are not stable, they enter the center of the horseshoe-shaped frame (4) and use it, so stability is good and there is no risk of falling.
