Description

  This device is intended to make it easier for people with disabilities and elderly people with weak fingers to grab straps and grips such as trains and buses, and to carry heavy baggage such as bags and shopping bags. The present invention relates to a grip aid that is used by being worn on the wrist.

  We grab various things in our daily life. For example, in order to maintain the balance of the body while a person standing on a train or bus is moving, straps that are grabbed by hand are suspended on the upper side of the car, or a stick-shaped grip bar is attached. For example, a standing person is holding a strap or a gripping rod so that it will not fall. Similarly, for example, baggage such as a bag or a shopping bag such as a supermarket shopping bag is provided with a handle for holding it with a palm and carrying the baggage by holding the handle with a palm.

  However, it is difficult for a handicapped person to grasp a strap or a gripping rod such as a train or a bus. It is difficult to grab straps and grip bars such as elderly people with weakened fingers, and it is difficult to keep gripping for a long time. Also, if you hold baggage such as bags or shopping bags for a long time, the palm part will bite in, and not only elderly people whose finger strength has weakened, but also those who have not weakened their finger strength It is difficult to keep weak.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been devised to solve the problems. The purpose of the present invention is to attach a band to which the hook pieces are connected to the wrist and attach the hook pieces. For example, by hooking on a strap or gripping rod in the car, it becomes easier to grip the strap or gripping rod such as a handicapped person or an elderly person whose finger strength has weakened, and it becomes hard to get tired even if it is gripped for a long time. Provided is a gripping aid that makes it easy to hold and holds for a long time by hooking a gripping part of heavy baggage such as a bag or shopping bag on the hook piece to prevent a part of the gripping part from being held by a palm. There is.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention of claim 1 comprises means of a band attached to the wrist and a hook piece having a base end side connected to the band and a tip end side having a hook shape.
Here, as a preferable aspect of the first aspect, the hook piece may be of a size that can enter the inside of the palm. Moreover, the base end side of the hook piece may be rotatably connected to the band. Further, the band may be provided with a shaft stopper that pivotally supports the base end side of the hook piece so as to be rotatable, and a band hole that is locked to the shaft stopper may be formed on one end side of the band. . Further, the hook piece may be wide and easy to grip. Further, an anti-slip material may be attached to the inside of the hook-shaped tip side of the hook piece. Furthermore, the hook piece may be formed with an appropriate bulge on its thickness side.

As is clear from the above description, according to the grasping aid according to the present invention, a band to which the hook piece is connected is attached to the wrist, and the hook piece is hooked on, for example, a strap in the car, By hooking on a stick-shaped gripping rod, it becomes easier to grip straps and gripping rods such as people with disabilities and elderly people with weakened fingers. However, it becomes hard to get tired even if you grab leather or a gripping bar for a long time. As a result, it is possible to avoid accidents such as a fall in a moving car that is likely to occur due to the inability to hold the straps or gripping bars firmly by persons with disabilities or elderly people with weakened fingers. It becomes possible.
In addition, by attaching a band with hook pieces to the wrist and hooking the hook pieces with heavy baggage holding parts such as bags and everyday shopping bags, it is possible to prevent a part of the holding part from being held in the palm of your hand. Can be easily held. Moreover, it is possible to hold a heavy baggage holding portion for a long time. As a result, even a handicapped person or an elderly person whose finger strength has weakened can easily hold a grip portion of a hand baggage that is difficult to hold on the palm of the hand for a long time. In particular, the lives of elderly people alone are increasing, and in daily life, the effects of the life of elderly people with weak hand power held in the palm of their hands and carrying them to their homes are extremely effective. It has extremely practical and beneficial effects.

  Further, when the hook piece is sized to enter the inside of the palm as in claim 2, for example, the hook piece in the palm is attached to the holding portion of the strap, the grip bar or the baggage, for example, because it is difficult to see from the outside. Even if you hook it, people around you will not notice it. Therefore, there is no embarrassment that another person will perceive that the finger is inconvenient or that the power of the finger has declined.

  Further, when the base end side of the hook piece is rotatably connected to the band as in claim 3, the base end side is removed without removing the band when the hook piece of the palm interferes. By simply turning the hook piece to the center, it is possible to easily rotate and move the hook piece from the palm to the wrist side that does not get in the way.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the band is provided with a shaft stopper that pivotally supports the base end side of the hook piece in a rotatable manner, and a band hole that is locked to the shaft stopper on one end side of the band. In the case where the hook is formed, it is possible to attach the grip assisting tool to the wrist by stopping the one end side of the band by using the shaft stopper for rotating the hook piece.

  Further, when the hook piece has a wide and easy-to-grip shape as in claim 5, the wide hook piece 3 can be easily grasped with fingers and can be seen from the outside. Can be used in Further, in this case, the gripping force and the pulling force are stronger when grasping than with fingers.

  Further, when the anti-slip material is attached to the inside of the hook-shaped tip side of the hook piece as in claim 6, it does not slip when hooked. It can be hooked with confidence on a stick.

  Further, when a moderate bulge is formed on the thickness side of the hook piece as in the seventh aspect, stability when grasping a strap, a grip bar, or a grip portion of baggage is increased, and a slight “push” is performed. "Force" can also be supported.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically based on the best mode for carrying out the invention described in the drawings.
Here, FIG. 1 (A) is a developed plan view of the grasping aid, FIG. 1 (B) is a cross-sectional view of the grasping aid, and FIG. 1 (C) is a grasping aid showing the best mode for carrying out the invention. 2 is a cross-sectional view of another example of the tool, FIG. 2 is a front view when the strap is gripped by using the grip assisting tool, and FIG. 3 is another when the strap is gripped by using the grip assisting tool. FIG. 4 is a front view of the example when the gripping part of the shopping bag is held using the grip assisting tool.

  In the figure, the grasping assisting tool 1 is such that a handicapped person or an elderly person whose finger power has weakened, for example, grabs a strap a or a gripping rod (not shown) such as a train or bus, It is an instrument used when carrying heavy baggage and is mainly composed of a band 2 attached to the wrist and a hook piece 3 having a base end side 31 connected to the band 2 and a tip end 32 having a hook shape. .

  The band 2 is attached to the wrist of the arm on the side holding the baggage, for example, holding the strap a or a gripping rod (not shown). The band 2 has, for example, an arc-shaped band shape in a flat state. The band 2 is made of a material that does not put a burden on the wrist when worn, for example, leather, but is not limited thereto. In particular, the inner surface of the band 2 that comes into contact with the skin of the wrist when worn on the wrist is covered with a material that does not irritate the skin, such as cloth, rubber, urethane, plastic, synthetic material, metal, resin, synthetic fiber and the like. In addition, since the inside of the band 2 sweats, it can be covered (or lined) with towel cloth or cloth, and can be washed. Furthermore, the band 2 uses a color that is not so noticeable when the band 2 is worn on the wrist, such as skin color, but is made of various colors, shapes, designs, etc., like a bracelet or a wristwatch. May be.

  For example, the arc-shaped band-like band 2 in a flat state is formed with a plurality of band holes 22 at one end side 21 at regular intervals in the length direction. A shaft stopper 24 is attached to the other end 23 of the band 2 on the opposite side. A base end side 31 of the hook piece 3 is rotatably supported on the shaft stopper 24.

  Further, on one side of the shaft stopper 24, that is, the surface opposite to the side on which the hook piece 3 is attached, a locking shaft that is inserted into the band hole 22 to lock the one end side 21 of the band 2 to the other end side 23. 25 is integrally formed. The distal end side of the locking shaft 25 is larger in diameter than the proximal end side, and has, for example, a circular button shape. This is to prevent the locking shaft 25 from being easily removed from the band hole 22. That is, the bulging portion of the tip of the locking shaft 25 is prevented from being easily detached by protruding partly toward the inner peripheral side of the band hole 22.

  By the way, the band 2 has an arc-shaped band shape because the band 2 is rotated around the wrist and the one end side 21 is overlapped with the other end side 23, and the band hole 22 on the one end side 21 is placed on the other end side. This is because the portion where the one end side 21 and the other end side 23 are coupled to each other easily engages in a V-shape on the palm side when they are coupled to the latching shaft 25 of 23.

  That is, when the strap a or a gripping rod (not shown) is hooked on the front end side 32 of the hook piece 3 or the baggage gripping portion b is suspended on the front end side 32 of the hook piece 3, the hook piece 3 is relatively moved to the front end side 32. As a result, the shaft stopper 24 and the locking shaft 25 on which the base end side 31 of the hook piece 3 is pivotally supported are also pulled to the distal end side 32, and the one end side 21 and the other end side 23 are connected to each other. This is because the joined portion also becomes V-shaped toward the palm side. This is to reduce the burden on the wrist by facilitating the connection portion to be smoothly V-shaped toward the palm.

  The hook piece 3 connected to the band 2 attached to the wrist is used on the inner side of the palm, and the tip side 32 is hooked on the strap a or a gripping rod (not shown), and the baggage holding portion on the tip side 32 is used. hangs b, avoids holding the strap a or gripping pin (not shown) directly with your fingers, or holding the baggage gripping part b. It fulfills the function of avoiding the burden.

  As described above, the base end side 31 of the hook piece 3 is rotatably connected to the other end side 23 of the band 2 by the shaft stopper 24. For this reason, the hook piece 3 is used inside the palm. However, when the palm hook piece 3 gets in the way, the hook piece 3 is simply turned around the base end side 31 without removing the band 2. The hook piece 3 can be easily rotated and moved from the palm to the wrist side that does not get in the way.

  The front end side 32 of the hook piece 3 has a hook shape, that is, the front end side 32 has a U-shape, and can be hooked on a strap a or a gripping rod (not shown), or can hang a baggage gripping portion b. ing. The front end side 32 of the hook piece 3 is narrower than the base end side 31 so that it can be easily hooked and hung.

  When a non-slip material 33 such as rubber or resin is attached to the U-shaped inner side of the tip 32 of the hook piece 3 or the outer side as necessary, as shown in FIG. The device is designed to prevent slipping. Further, as shown in FIG. 1C, in the case where the curvature of the hook piece 3 is enhanced near the base end side 31 of the hook piece 3 and an appropriate bulge 34 is provided on the thickness side, the strap a or Stability when grasping a gripping rod (not shown) and a gripping part b of baggage is increased, and it is possible to cope with a slight “pushing force”.

  The width of the hook piece 3 used inside the palm is wide as shown in FIG. 1 (A) and FIG. 3, so that it can be grasped more easily, or as narrow as shown in FIGS. It may be a hidden shape. When the width of the hook piece 3 is wide as shown in FIG. 1 (A) or FIG. 3, the intermediate portion of the wide hook piece 3 can be easily grasped with fingers and visible from the outside. Made in a variety of designs for use in.

  On the other hand, when the width of the hook piece 3 is narrow and hidden in the palm as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, it is a size that can be hidden inside the palm, that is, a size that can be hidden by the palm. Yes. By wrapping the outer peripheral side of the hook piece 3 with the palm, the hook piece 3 is completely stored inside the palm, and it is possible to prevent the surrounding people from knowing that the hook piece 3 is being used. . In this case, the color of the hook piece 3 is a color that is not so noticeable when the hook piece 3 is wrapped with a palm, such as a skin color. The hook piece 3 is made of, for example, plastic.

Next, the usage method based on the configuration of the best mode for carrying out the above-described device will be described below.
In order to attach the grip assisting tool 1 to the wrist, the outer peripheral side of the hook piece 3 is grasped with the palm, and the one end side 21 of the band 2 is turned around the wrist. A plurality of band holes 22 are formed in one end side 21 of the band 2 that goes around the wrist. Further, when the outer peripheral side of the hook piece 3 is gripped by a palm, a locking shaft 25 formed integrally with a shaft stopper 24 that connects the base end side 31 of the hook piece 3 to the other end side 23 of the band 2 is a wrist. Therefore, the band 2 can be easily wound around the wrist by fitting the corresponding holes 22 of the plurality of band holes 22 formed on the one end side 21 of the band 2 around the engagement shaft 25. Thus, the grasping aid 1 can be attached to the wrist.

  After the grip assisting tool 1 is attached to the wrist, when the grip assisting tool 1 is used to grip a strap a or a grip bar (not shown), the outer peripheral side of the hook piece 3 of the grip assisting tool 1 is attached. Attach the tip 32 to the strap a or a gripping rod (not shown). As a result, even a handicapped person or an elderly person whose finger power has weakened can indirectly grip the strap a or a gripping rod (not shown) through the hook piece 3 of the gripping assisting tool 1. Moreover, even if the hook piece 3 is hooked on the strap a or a gripping rod (not shown), there is no burden on the fingers, so that it is possible to continue to grip the strap a or the gripping rod (not shown) through the hook piece 3 for a long time. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, once the tip side 32 of the hook piece 3 is hooked on the strap a or a gripping rod (not shown), the finger can grasp the intermediate portion of the hook piece 3. The gripping force and pulling force are stronger when gripping than one.

  After attaching the grip assisting tool 1 to the wrist, if the grip assisting tool 1 is used to hold, for example, a heavy bag or a supermarket plastic bag, the outer peripheral side of the hook piece 3 of the grip assisting tool 1 is attached to be wrapped with a palm. The tip side 32 of the lever is hooked and hung on the grip b of the bag or shopping bag. As a result, even a handicapped person or an elderly person whose finger strength has weakened can indirectly hold the gripping part b of the bag or supermarket shopping bag via the hook piece 3 of the gripping assisting tool 1. Moreover, even if the hooks 3 hold the bag or the gripping portion b of the shopping bag, there is no burden on the fingers, so that it is possible to hold a heavy bag or supermarket shopping bag through the hook piece 3 for a long time.

  In this case, the hook piece 3 is pulled downward as a whole by the weight of the baggage through the baggage gripping portion b suspended from the front end side 32 of the hook piece 3, and at this time, the base end side 31 of the hook piece 3 is As the entire band 2 slides down from the wrist through the shaft stopper 24 to be connected, a burden is applied to the wrist. At this time, the burden applied to the wrist through the band 2 can be reduced by wrapping the palm piece so as to support the outer peripheral side of the hook piece 3. The same applies to the case where the strap a or a gripping rod (not shown) is hooked with the hook piece 3 and gripped so that the outer peripheral side of the hook piece 3 is wrapped from above with a palm, thereby reducing the burden on the wrist through the band 2. it can.

  The present invention is not limited to the best mode for carrying out the above-described invention, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described best mode, the case where the band hole 22 is formed on the one end side 21 of the band 2 has been described. However, instead of the band hole 22 and the locking shaft 25, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, a belt, a wristwatch, etc. The one end side 21 of the band 2 that has been turned around the wrist can be stopped at the other end side 23 by using a clasp button, a magnet, or the like. In the case of a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener that engages with the hook-and-loop fastener on the one end 21 is also attached to the other end 23.
