Description

本考案は、老人や身体障害者にとって好都合な杖と傘の結合具に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a cane / umbrella combination that is convenient for the elderly and disabled.

人間誰しも加齢とともに足腰が弱ってくることは避けられない。もちろん個人差はあるものの、老人にとって杖は歩行補助具として有益なものである。したがって、屋外の歩行に際して杖を必要とする老人は少なくない。また、老人でなくても身体に障害を持つ人にとっても杖は有益なものである。 It is inevitable that all humans will become weaker with age. Of course, although there are individual differences, the cane is useful as a walking aid for the elderly. Therefore, there are many elderly people who need a cane for walking outdoors. A cane is also useful for people who are not elderly but have physical disabilities.

ところで、晴天の日であれば片手で杖を持って歩行することに困難性はない。たとえ片手に障害を持つ人や、片手に買い物袋を持っている場合であっても、自由の利く他方の手で杖を把持して使用することができるからである。しかし、雨天の日に屋外を歩行するとなると事情はまったく異なる。すなわち、歩行には杖と傘を必要とする。しかし、片手に障害を有する人にとって自由になるのは他の片手だけであり、片手だけで杖と傘を把持して使用することは極めて困難であった。また、両手が自由である老人であっても、片手で杖を把持し、他の片手で傘を把持して歩行することは、万一の場合の歩行安全性に欠けることになる。すなわち、雨天の日は一般的に足場が悪くなり、スリップ等により転倒しそうになることも少なくない。その際、片手で杖を把持し、他の片手で傘を把持していると、転倒しそうになったときにバランスをとって体制を立て直すことができない。その結果、転倒してしまって大きな怪我をすることもある。 By the way, on a sunny day, there is no difficulty in walking with a cane with one hand. This is because even if a person has a disability in one hand or has a shopping bag in one hand, it can be used while holding the cane with the other hand. However, the situation is completely different when walking outdoors on rainy days. That is, walking requires a walking stick and an umbrella. However, only one other hand is free for a person with a disability in one hand, and it is extremely difficult to hold and use a cane and an umbrella with only one hand. Moreover, even if it is an elderly person with both hands free, walking with holding a cane with one hand and holding an umbrella with the other hand is not sufficient for walking safety. In other words, on a rainy day, the scaffolding is generally poor, and it is not uncommon for a person to fall over due to slip or the like. At that time, if the hand is held with one hand and the umbrella is held with the other hand, the system cannot be reestablished in a balanced manner when it is about to fall. As a result, they may fall and be seriously injured.

上記した事情から、従来技術においても杖と傘を結合して、片手だけで使用することができる杖が提案されている。しかし、それらは市販されている汎用の杖を使用するものではなく、専用に製作された特殊の杖を用いるものであって、高価にならざるを得なかった。 Under the circumstances described above, a cane that can be used with only one hand by combining a cane and an umbrella has been proposed in the prior art. However, they do not use a general-purpose cane that is commercially available, but use a special cane that is produced exclusively, and must be expensive.

そこで、本考案は、杖と傘を結合して片手だけで使用できるとともに、市販されている汎用の杖を用いることで簡単な構成で、安価な杖と傘の結合具を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an inexpensive cane-umbrella coupler that can be used with only one hand by combining a cane and an umbrella and has a simple configuration by using a commercially available general-purpose cane.

Therefore, when the rain stops and the use of the umbrella becomes unnecessary, the umbrella can be folded and bound to the shaft portion of the cane, and the cane and the umbrella can be carried with only one hand.

以下、本法案の実施形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。図１は、本考案による杖と傘の結合具１を用いて、杖２と傘３を片手で使用している状態を示す略図である。この杖と傘の結合具１は、連結部材４と棹体５を主要部材としている。具体的には、連結部材４に設けた第１の穴６に杖の軸部2aを固定し、前記連結部材４の前記第１の穴６と異なる位置に設けた第２の穴７に棹体５の一端を取付け、前記棹体５の他端に傘の柄3aを係止するものである。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present bill will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a cane 2 and an umbrella 3 are used with one hand using a cane-umbrella coupler 1 according to the present invention. The cane-umbrella coupler 1 includes a connecting member 4 and a housing 5 as main members. Specifically, the shaft portion 2a of the cane is fixed to the first hole 6 provided in the connecting member 4, and the second hole 7 provided at a position different from the first hole 6 of the connecting member 4 is hooked. One end of the body 5 is attached, and the umbrella handle 3a is locked to the other end of the housing 5.

図２は、本考案による杖と傘の結合具１の構造を説明するためのものであり、連結部材４に設けた第１の穴６と第２の穴７の中心を結ぶ線を含む断面を示す。連結部材４は平板からなり、離間した位置に第１の穴６と第２の穴７が設けられている。連結部材４は合板等の木材を用いて製作すると、軽くて剛性の高いものを実現できるが、アルミニウム等の金属材料や、アクリル等の合成樹脂材料を用いて製作することもできる。第１の穴６には杖の軸部2aが挿通され、前記軸部2aの適所においてエポキシ樹脂等を用いて固定される。また、第２の穴７には棹体５の一端5aが取り付けられる。 FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view including a line connecting the centers of the first hole 6 and the second hole 7 provided in the connecting member 4 for explaining the structure of the wand / umbrella coupler 1 according to the present invention. Indicates. The connecting member 4 is formed of a flat plate, and a first hole 6 and a second hole 7 are provided at spaced positions. When the connecting member 4 is manufactured using wood such as plywood, a light and highly rigid material can be realized, but it can also be manufactured using a metal material such as aluminum or a synthetic resin material such as acrylic. The shaft portion 2a of the cane is inserted into the first hole 6, and is fixed using an epoxy resin or the like at an appropriate position of the shaft portion 2a. Further, one end 5 a of the housing 5 is attached to the second hole 7.

棹体５は、中空のパイプ材からなり、通常はアルミニウム材のパイプが用いられる。アルミニウム材のパイプは軽くて丈夫であるし、種々の内外径を有する標準パイプが市販されていることから、容易に入手できるという利点もある。棹体５の一端5aには軸直角方向に２つの横穴８,９が設けられており、２つの横穴８,９は相互に９０度の位相差を有している。２つの横穴８,９のうち、一方の横穴８には止め棒11が固定されており、端部寄りの他の横穴９には他の止め棒12が着脱自在にして装着される。すなわち、杖２と傘３を結合具１により結合して使用する際に、棹体５の一端5aを連結部材４に設けた第２の穴７に通した後、端部寄りの他の横穴９に他の止め棒12が装着される。その結果、棹体５は連結部材４へ確実に取り付けられ、棹体５に外力が作用しても棹体５が連結部材４から脱落するのを防止できる。棹体５の他端5b、すなわち棹体５の上端には傘の柄3aが取り付けられる。一般に傘の柄3aはＪの字形状をしたものが多いが、Ｊの字形状をした柄のうち、予め曲がった部分を切断して直線部だけを残すように加工しておく。また、パイプである棹体５の内径寸法を傘の柄3aの外径寸法と適合するように調整しておく。このようにすると、傘の柄3aを棹体５の上端の内径部に挿入するだけで傘３を棹体５に係止することができる。なお、傘の柄3aには傘３を開くための操作突起3bが標準的に備わっているため、該操作突起3bが棹体５の上端に当接することにより、傘の柄3aが過分にパイプ５内に入り込むのを防止できる。 The casing 5 is made of a hollow pipe material, and an aluminum pipe is usually used. Aluminum pipes are light and strong, and standard pipes having various inner and outer diameters are commercially available, and thus have the advantage of being readily available. Two lateral holes 8 and 9 are provided at one end 5a of the casing 5 in a direction perpendicular to the axis, and the two lateral holes 8 and 9 have a phase difference of 90 degrees from each other. Of the two horizontal holes 8, 9, a stopper bar 11 is fixed to one side hole 8, and another stopper bar 12 is detachably attached to the other side hole 9 near the end. That is, when the cane 2 and the umbrella 3 are combined and used by the coupler 1, after passing the one end 5 a of the housing 5 through the second hole 7 provided in the connecting member 4, another side hole near the end is provided. The other stop rod 12 is attached to 9. As a result, the housing 5 is securely attached to the connecting member 4, and the housing 5 can be prevented from falling off the connecting member 4 even if an external force is applied to the housing 5. An umbrella handle 3 a is attached to the other end 5 b of the casing 5, that is, the upper end of the casing 5. In general, the umbrella handle 3a has many J-shapes, but the J-shaped handle is processed so that a bent portion is cut in advance to leave only a straight portion. Further, the inner diameter of the casing 5 which is a pipe is adjusted so as to match the outer diameter of the umbrella handle 3a. In this way, the umbrella 3 can be locked to the casing 5 simply by inserting the umbrella handle 3 a into the inner diameter portion of the upper end of the casing 5. Since the umbrella handle 3a is normally provided with an operation projection 3b for opening the umbrella 3, when the operation projection 3b abuts on the upper end of the housing 5, the umbrella handle 3a is excessively piped. 5 can be prevented from entering.

図３は、連結部材４と杖２の固定状態および連結部材４と棹体５の係止状態を示すものであり、図２におけるＡ−Ａ矢視図である。杖２は連結部材４に設けられた第１の穴６に接着剤を用いて固定されている。また、棹体５の一端は連結部材４に設けた第２の穴７に係止され、９０度の位相差を有して配置された２つの横穴８,９にそれぞれ止め棒11,12が装着されている。ここで、２本の止め棒11,12のうち、棹体５の端部に近い横穴９に装着される止め棒12は着脱する必要があることから、着脱時や不使用時に紛失する可能性がある。そこで、止め棒12の紛失を防止するため、止め棒12を紐体13により連結部材４に結合している。なお、連結部材４に設けた保持穴14は、棹体５を連結部材４に係止しない場合に止め棒12を係止しておくためのものである。 FIG. 3 shows a fixed state of the connecting member 4 and the cane 2 and a locked state of the connecting member 4 and the housing 5, and is an AA arrow view in FIG. 2. The cane 2 is fixed to the first hole 6 provided in the connecting member 4 using an adhesive. Further, one end of the housing 5 is locked in a second hole 7 provided in the connecting member 4, and stopper rods 11 and 12 are respectively placed in two lateral holes 8 and 9 arranged with a phase difference of 90 degrees. It is installed. Here, of the two stopper rods 11 and 12, the stopper rod 12 attached to the side hole 9 near the end of the housing 5 needs to be attached / detached, so it may be lost when attaching / detaching or when not in use. There is. Therefore, in order to prevent the stopper rod 12 from being lost, the stopper rod 12 is coupled to the connecting member 4 by the string body 13. Note that the holding hole 14 provided in the connecting member 4 is for holding the stopper bar 12 when the housing 5 is not locked to the connecting member 4.

上記に説明したようにして、本考案による杖と傘の結合具１を用いて杖２と傘３を結合できる。そして、図１に示したようにして片手だけで杖２と傘３を使用することができる。片手だけで杖２と傘３を使用できるので、片手に障害があって両手を使えない身体障害者であっても、雨天の日において安心して外出することができる。また、健常者であっても、片手に買い物袋等を持って雨天の日に歩行する際にも、杖２と傘３を片手で取扱うことができるので便利である。 As described above, the cane 2 and the umbrella 3 can be coupled using the cane-umbrella coupling tool 1 according to the present invention. The cane 2 and the umbrella 3 can be used with only one hand as shown in FIG. Since the cane 2 and the umbrella 3 can be used with only one hand, even a handicapped person who has a disability in one hand and cannot use both hands can safely go out on a rainy day. Moreover, even if it is a healthy person, when walking on a rainy day with a shopping bag or the like in one hand, the cane 2 and the umbrella 3 can be handled with one hand, which is convenient.

次に、本考案による杖と傘の結合具１を用いて杖２と傘３を結合し、雨天の日に外出した後、雨が上がって晴天になった場合について説明する。日傘ならともかく、雨が上がっても雨傘を使用しなければならないというのでは不便であるし、見た目にも格好が悪い。そこで、雨が上がって晴天になったら傘３を畳んで杖２と傘３を一体化できれば便利である。本考案による杖と傘の結合具１は傘３を開いた状態のみならず、傘３を畳んだ状態においても杖２と傘３を結合して一体化できる利点がある。 Next, the case where the cane 2 and the umbrella 3 are combined using the cane-umbrella coupling tool 1 according to the present invention, and after going out on a rainy day, it rains and becomes clear will be described. Regardless of the parasol, it is inconvenient to use an umbrella even if it rains, and it looks bad. Therefore, it is convenient if the cane 2 and the umbrella 3 can be integrated by folding the umbrella 3 when it rains and it is fine. The cane-umbrella coupler 1 according to the present invention has an advantage that the cane 2 and the umbrella 3 can be combined and integrated not only when the umbrella 3 is opened but also when the umbrella 3 is folded.

杖２には、図２に詳細を示すように、杖２の軸部2aの途上に結束具15が設けられている。具体的には布またはビニール製の帯状をした結束具15の一端15aが杖２の軸部2aの途上に固定されている。そして、帯状をした結束具15の両端にはマジックテープ（登録商標）16が取り付けられている。図４は結束具15を用いて棹体５と傘３を杖の軸部2aに結束して一体化した状態を示している。このように杖２と傘３を杖の軸部2aに一体化すると、杖２はそのまま杖２本来の機能である歩行補助具として使用できる。したがって、雨天の日に外出した後、雨があがって晴天になったら、棹体５と傘３を杖の軸部2aに結束して一体化すれば、そのまま杖２を歩行補助具として使用することができる。 As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the wand 2 is provided with a binding tool 15 in the middle of the shaft portion 2 a of the wand 2. Specifically, one end 15a of a binding tool 15 in the form of a cloth or vinyl band is fixed in the middle of the shaft portion 2a of the cane 2. Then, Velcro (registered trademark) 16 is attached to both ends of the band-like binding tool 15. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the housing 5 and the umbrella 3 are bound to the shaft portion 2a of the cane by using the binding tool 15 and integrated. Thus, when the cane 2 and the umbrella 3 are integrated with the shaft portion 2a of the cane, the cane 2 can be used as it is as a walking aid that is the original function of the cane 2. Therefore, after going out on a rainy day, when it rains and becomes clear, if the housing 5 and the umbrella 3 are bound and integrated with the shaft portion 2a of the cane, the cane 2 is used as it is as a walking aid. be able to.

なお、棹体５と傘３を杖の軸部2aに結束するには、図に示す状態において、先ず傘の柄3aを棹体５から抜いて取り外し、傘３を折り畳む。次に、棹体５の下端部に近い止め棒12を横穴９から抜いて連結部材４に設けられた保持穴14に係止する。それから棹体５を上方に持ち上げれば、棹体５は連結部材４から取り外すことができる。その後、折り畳んだ傘３と棹体５を結束具15により杖の軸部3aに結束すれば作業は完了する。すなわち、図４に示す状態になる。 In order to bind the housing 5 and the umbrella 3 to the shaft portion 2a of the cane, in the state shown in the figure, the umbrella handle 3a is first removed from the housing 5 and removed, and the umbrella 3 is folded. Next, the stopper rod 12 close to the lower end portion of the housing 5 is pulled out from the lateral hole 9 and locked in the holding hole 14 provided in the connecting member 4. Then, the casing 5 can be detached from the connecting member 4 by lifting the casing 5 upward. Thereafter, when the folded umbrella 3 and the housing 5 are bound to the shaft portion 3a of the cane by the binding tool 15, the operation is completed. That is, the state shown in FIG. 4 is obtained.

以上、本考案を実施例に基づいて説明をしたが、本考案は種々の変形実施をすることができる。たとえば、上記実施例においては、棹体５の一端5aを連結部材４に取り付け、棹体５の抜け止めとして２本の止め棒11,12を用いたが、棹体５の外周部にねじを設け、２つのナットを用いて連結部材４を挟み込むことにより固定することもできる。 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the Example, this invention can carry out various deformation | transformation implementation. For example, in the above embodiment, one end 5a of the housing 5 is attached to the connecting member 4 and the two retaining rods 11 and 12 are used to prevent the housing 5 from coming off. It can also be fixed by sandwiching the connecting member 4 using two nuts.
