Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a walking stick.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A common walking stick has a structure in which a handle is provided at the upper end of one shaft and a ram is provided at the lower end.

[0003] Since the shaft of the conventional walking stick is long, there is an inconvenience that it cannot be carried in a bag or the like. Therefore, various sticks have been devised in which one shaft can be divided into a plurality of shafts, and the sticks can be extended and contracted. However, there is a dissatisfaction that assembly is troublesome when used.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a walking stick that can be folded and compactly stored in a bag or the like so as to be portable, and the shaft can be assembled quickly and easily.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problem, the stick of the present invention is configured such that a plurality of hollow pipe-shaped partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 are linearly connected to form a single shaft 1. The upper end of the shaft 1 is detachably attached to a connection pipe 8 attached to a grip 7, and the plurality of partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also detachable at their ends. When the individual shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 have elasticity and elasticity inside each of the shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 when they are separated from each other, The structure is characterized in that a connecting cord 10 is inserted through which the ends of the partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, 5 are drawn together by their elasticity and are automatically fitted together. is there.

[0006] In the stick of the present invention, a male portion 13 having a reduced outer diameter is provided at one end of two partial shaft members connected to each other, and the male portion 13 is inserted into the other end. It is also possible to provide a possible female portion 14 and to provide a tapered portion 15 for increasing the inner diameter at the opening edge of the female portion 14.

Further, in the stick of the present invention, locking holes 17 are provided at a plurality of positions in the axial direction of the connecting pipe 8 attached to the grip 7, and the upper end of the shaft 1 is provided inside the connecting pipe 8. It is also possible to insert a locking button 19 that can be inserted into and removed from an arbitrary locking hole 17 at the side surface of the upper end of the shaft 1 so that it can be inserted and retracted.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the shaft 1 is configured by connecting a plurality of hollow pipe-shaped partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 in a straight line. The upper end of the shaft 1 is detachable from a connection pipe 8 attached to a grip 7. The plurality of partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, 5 and the connection pipe 8 can be formed of metal or the like.

Each of the partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 constituting the shaft 1 also have their ends detachable from each other. As shown in FIG. 3, a male portion 13 having a smaller outer diameter can be provided at one end of two partial shaft members connected to each other, that is, two partial shaft members lined up and down. At the other end, a female portion 14 into which the male portion 13 can be inserted can be provided. A tapered portion 15 for enlarging the inner diameter can be provided at the opening edge of the female portion 14. A base 16 made of plastic or the like can be attached to the opening edge of the male portion 13. In addition, a stone foot 6 formed of synthetic rubber or the like can be attached to the lower end of the shaft 1.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a plurality of elastic and elastic connecting strings made of rubber or the like are provided inside the plurality of partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 constituting the shaft 1. 10 are inserted in series. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the connecting cord 10 has its upper end hooked to a lock pin 11 provided on the shaft member 2 located at the uppermost position, and as shown in FIG. It can be mounted by hooking the part on a lock pin 12 provided on the shaft member 5 located at the bottom. The connecting cord 10 can be doubled as shown in the figure.

When the partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, 5 through which the connecting cord 10 is inserted are separated from each other, the ends of each other are separated by the elasticity of the connecting string 10 in a natural state where no external force acts. Can be automatically fitted together. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the male portion 13 of each of the partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 is pulled out from the female portion 14, and the respective partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 are separated from each other and are substantially parallel to each other. The connecting string 10 is in a state of being stretched and bent while being stretched, and the shaft 1 is in a folded state when viewed as a whole. In this folded state, the elasticity, that is, the restoring force of the connecting string 10 is reduced. Since it is strong, external force is required to maintain its folded state. In other words, it is necessary to hold it by hand or store it in the case or bag 24, but if the external force is removed, that is, if you let go of the hand or take it out of the case or bag 24, the elasticity of the connecting cord 10 The partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 are attracted to each other, and the ends thereof, that is, the male portion 13 is automatically fitted to the female portion 14 to be connected in a straight line.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connection pipe 8 integrated with the grip 7 has locking holes 17 at a plurality of positions in the axial direction. The upper end of the shaft 1 that is integrated with the grip 7 and inserted into the connection pipe 8, that is, the side surface of the partial shaft member 2 located at the top, is biased outward by a spring 18. A stop button 19 is provided so as to be able to protrude and retract in and out. This locking button 19 can be inserted into and removed from any locking hole 17.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connection pipe 8 has a male screw 20 formed on the outer peripheral surface at the lower end. On the other hand, a connection fixing screw 21 is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the uppermost partial shaft member 2 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction and rotatable in the circumferential direction. The connection fixing screw 21 has a female screw 22 which can be screwed to the male screw 20 provided on the connection pipe 8 on an inner surface thereof, and the male screw 20 and the female screw 22 are screwed therein. It has a tightening ring 23 that presses against the outer peripheral surface of the partial shaft member 2 when worn. Note that a strap 9 can be attached to the uppermost partial shaft member 2 as shown in FIG.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the stick of the present invention described in claims 1 to 3, the plurality of partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, and 5 constituting the shaft 1 can be separated from each other and folded, so that they can be stored in a bag or the like. It is convenient to carry, and the plurality of folded partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, 5 are automatically straightened by the action of the connecting cord 10 when you release your hand or take it out of the case or bag 24. There is a merit that there is no trouble in assembling because it is connected to a single shaft 1.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned effects, the female part 14 at one end of the partial shaft members 2, 3, 4, 5 is provided with a tapered part 15 so that The male portion 13 provided at the end of the other partial shaft member can be easily inserted into the portion 14, and there is an advantage that the partial shaft members can be smoothly connected to each other.

The stick of the present invention according to claim 3 has an advantage that, in addition to the above effects, the height of the grip 7 can be adjusted by changing the height up and down.
