【考案の属する技術分野】
この考案は主に老人、病人、障害者などの人が使用する杖(松葉杖なども含
む)に関するものである。
しかし勿論、杖の機能としてそれら以外の一般使用の杖やスポーツなどに用い
られるストックといわれるものなどにおいても適用される。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来杖はほぼ真っ直ぐな形状であるが、安定した状態で使いやすいように軸
が湾曲したもの、先端の面積を大きくしたもの、先端の地面や床面との接触部分
を複数としたものなどが考案されている。特に殆どの杖では先端部にゴムなどで
出来た緩衝材を取り付けて滑りにくく、かつ地面や床面と十分接触するように工
夫されている。しかし何れも病人、老人、障害者など障害のある人では安定した
姿勢を取り難いため杖に力が十分掛かり難く、使用しにくいという問題があった
。

【考案が解決しようとする課題】
本案は、その欠点を克服して老人、病人、障害者などが使いやすい杖を開発
しようとするものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
杖を使う場合真っ直ぐに立てた状態では杖の先端と地面や床面との接触面積
が大きく,かつ杖の力が地面や床面に十分掛かり安定する。しかし地面や床面な
どに対して傾斜して立てた場合杖の力が地面や床面に十分掛かりにくく、また杖
の先端と地面や床面との接触面積が小さいため不安定となる。
そこで杖の一部を支点として杖の軸に対し垂直な方向一方向以上の方向に対し
て軸が屈折回転することによって杖の先端と地面や床面との接触面積が大きくな
ると共に杖に掛かる力が十分地面や床面に掛かるようにするのが本考案の趣旨で
ある。
なお、屈折回転する支点部分は杖の両端に近いほど、出来れば地面や床面との
接地面に近いほど好ましい。また、屈折回転する角度は使用状況によって範囲を
限定することが望ましい。

【考案の実施の形態】
次に本案の実施の形態について例を挙げて説明する。
図1は従来の杖で地面や床面に垂直に立てた状態を示す。杖の先端と地面や床
面の接触面積が大きくかつ杖に掛かる力が地面や床面に十分掛かっている。
図2は従来の杖で地面や床面に傾斜して立てた状態を示す。杖の先端と地面や
床面の接触面積が小さく、かつ杖に掛かる力が地面や床面に十分掛かっていない
。したがって滑ったりして安定性が悪い。
図3は本案の杖(2方向に屈折回転)で地面や床面に傾斜して立てた状態を示
す。杖の先端と地面や床面との接触面積が大きく、かつ杖に掛かる力が地面や床
面に十分掛かり安定している。
【0006】
なお、本案の実施に当っては軸に垂直な方向が360度全方向で軸がその全て
の方向に屈折回転できるのが理想的である。(図5、図6)
【0007】
【考案の効果】
したがって、杖を使う場合傾斜して地面や床面を突いても安定して使用でく
る杖である。[Detailed description of the invention]
[0001]
[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
This device is mainly used by the elderly, sick, and disabled, including crutches.
Mu).
However, of course, as a function of the stick, it is used for other general use sticks and sports etc.
This also applies to what is referred to as stock.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, the cane is almost straight, but the axis is designed to be stable and easy to use.
Curved, with a large tip area, and the tip contacting the ground or floor
Have been devised. In particular, most sticks have rubber at the tip
Attach the cushioning material so that it is not slippery and has sufficient contact with the ground or floor.
My husband has been. However, all are stable in people with disabilities, such as the sick, elderly, and disabled
There was a problem that it was difficult to apply enough force to the stick because it was difficult to take a posture, and it was difficult to use
.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
This model overcomes the disadvantages and develops a stick that is easy to use for the elderly, sick, and disabled
What you want to do.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
When using a cane When standing upright, the contact area between the tip of the cane and the ground or floor
Is large, and the force of the cane is sufficiently applied to the ground or floor to stabilize. But the ground and floor
When standing at an angle to the throat, the force of the cane is not sufficiently applied to the ground or floor, and
Is unstable due to the small contact area between the tip and the ground or floor.
Therefore, with the part of the cane as a fulcrum, the direction perpendicular to the axis of the cane
The contact area between the tip of the cane and the ground or floor increases due to the revolving rotation of the shaft.
The purpose of the present invention is to make sure that the force applied to the cane is sufficiently applied to the ground and floor.
is there.
In addition, the fulcrum that bends and rotates closer to both ends of the cane, and if possible,
The closer to the ground contact surface, the better. In addition, the angle of refraction rotation varies depending on the usage conditions.
It is desirable to limit.
[0005]
[Embodiment of the invention]
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with an example.
FIG. 1 shows a conventional stick standing upright on the ground or floor. Ground and floor with cane tip
The contact area of the surface is large, and the force applied to the cane is sufficiently applied to the ground or floor.
FIG. 2 shows a state in which the stick is erected on the ground or floor with a conventional stick. The tip of the cane and the ground
The contact area of the floor is small, and the force applied to the stick is not sufficiently applied to the ground or floor
. Therefore, it slips and the stability is poor.
Fig. 3 shows the cane of the present invention (bending and rotating in two directions) standing upright on the ground or floor.
You. The contact area between the tip of the cane and the ground or floor is large, and the force applied to the cane is on the ground or floor.
Sufficient on the surface and stable.
[0006]
In the implementation of the present invention, the direction perpendicular to the axis is 360 degrees and all axes are
Ideally can be refracted and rotated in the direction of. (FIGS. 5 and 6)
[0007]
[Effect of the invention]
Therefore, when using a cane, it can be used stably even if it leans on the ground or floor.
It is a walking stick.
