Description

  This device is used by elderly people or people with physical disabilities as walking aids on flat ground, and when raising or lowering stairs, it is easy to operate with a simple operation to reduce the burden on the knees and to easily raise and lower stairs. The present invention relates to a cane with a step stair climbing assisting step.

  Conventionally, for elderly people and those with physical disabilities such as knees, raising and lowering on steps with steps is a heavy burden, and as a countermeasure, a method of raising and lowering an electric passenger step along the stairs slope (for example, (See Patent Document 1) and a method of installing an auxiliary staircase having an almost half height at the end of the staircase (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  However, since the electric elevator described above is expensive, it is unsuitable for ordinary households and lacks practicality. In addition, the installation of the auxiliary staircase at the end of the staircase reduces the space for the staircase, which is troublesome for a healthy person, and is not easy to carry because it is not portable.

  The purpose is to eliminate the burden of elderly people and those with disabilities in the body such as knees when going up and down stairs with steps, and it can be easily carried, handled safely, and has low cost. To provide a cane with a step up / down assisting platform that can be controlled by the elderly and those with physical disabilities such as knees.

  As a means to solve this problem, the height and height from the floor surface can be adjusted by connecting to the lowermost stone thrusting part of the walking aid cane body, and the width and length that can be placed on one foot. It has a stair lift assisting stepped wand that has a bottom end and a rear end that is detachably mounted with a stepped arc step so as to reduce the burden when moving up and down the stairs.

  The auxiliary stand of the present invention has a structure in which the height can be adjusted to about half the height of one step, the top surface has a non-slip structure, the bottom surface has a circular arc at the front and rear ends, and can swing And increase the stability and burden reduction effect when moving up and down stairs.

As mentioned above, if you use the cane with a stair lift assisting stepping foot of the present invention when going up and down a stair with a step, you can raise and lower the stair with a sense of security while reducing the burden on the knee etc. It becomes possible.
In addition, it is lightweight, easy to carry, and easy to handle, and the user can feel safe and reduce the burden with an anti-slip structure on the top surface of the stepping platform and a swingable structure with an arcuate structure on the bottom surface.

  It is a front view which shows one Example of the cane with a stair-climbing auxiliary stepping board of this invention.   It is a side view which shows one Example of the cane with a stair-climbing auxiliary stepping board of this invention.   It is a figure which shows one Example of the movement order of the leg using the cane with a stair-climbing auxiliary stepping board of this invention.

As an embodiment for carrying out this device, it is effective that there are two types, indoor use and outdoor use.
For example, when used indoors, it will be used with socks and slippers worn with bare feet, but it will not get dirty, but when used outdoors, it will be used with shoes etc. Since there is a possibility that the platform will become dirty, it is effective without cleaning each time it is used, preferably by using two types of indoor and outdoor types properly.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a cane with a stair-climbing auxiliary stepping-stand according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing an embodiment of a cane with a stair-climbing auxiliary stepping-stand according to the present invention. Shows an embodiment of a foot movement sequence using the cane with a step up / down assisting step of the present invention.

  Put the foot 5 on either the left or right side with bare feet or shoes on the upper surface of the stair-climbing assisting step 3 that is integrally connected to the walking aid cane body 2 and tilt the body forward. The other foot 6 is lifted and moved to be placed on the first step stair floor 7, and then the foot 5 placed on the stair lift assisting step 3 is moved to be put on the stair floor 7 to move up and down the stairs.

  When climbing up the stairs, place the cane 1 with a step up / down assisting pedestal next to one foot 5 to be placed on the stool on the floor just below the stairs surface 7 of the first step from the bottom, One of the left and right feet 5 is placed on the left and the body is tilted forward, the other foot 6 is lifted and the feet are moved to the first stepped floor 7 and then placed on the stepped floor 7 While supporting the foot 6, the foot 5 placed on the platform is moved to the first staircase floor surface 7 to ascend the stairs. This completes one cycle when going up one stairs. Next, the stairs 1 with a stair climbing assisting step is placed on the floor surface of the staircase on which both feet are placed, and these steps are repeated to ascend a plurality of steps.

  When stepping down the stairs, place the cane 1 with a step up / down assisting step on the floor of the staircase, one step down from the top, and place either the left or right foot on the top of the step. Place your foot forward and move your foot to the bottom of the staircase floor while raising the other leg, then move the foot one step down while supporting the foot on the staircase floor. Move to the staircase floor and go down the stairs. This completes one cycle when going down one step. Next, a stair with a stair lift support step is placed on the floor of the staircase on which both feet are placed, and the above steps are repeated to descend the plurality of stairs.

In addition, when the feet are dark when the stairs are raised or lowered, it is effective to attach a lighting device such as a light proposed in claim 5.
Furthermore, when going down the stairs, attach the cane part of the height of one stairs to the lower part of the step as proposed in claim 6, and then start going down the stairs in the same order from the stairs floor one step below. Is also possible.

Next, the dimensional size and material of the walking cane body and the stair-climbing auxiliary stepping board according to the present invention will be described.
The cane body has an easy-to-use size and no problem, and is made of lightweight materials such as wood, resin, and aluminum. The grip part 4 at the top of the cane is equipped with a rubber grip for preventing slipping. .
The material is not particularly limited as long as it is a lightweight material having a function as a walking aid cane.

  In addition, the size and size of the stair-climbing auxiliary stepping platform should be approximately half the height of one staircase, and should have a width and length that allow one foot to be safely and safely placed. As for the height, it may be possible that the height varies depending on the stairs to be raised and lowered, so the height can be adjusted with a push-in pin or a hinge pin.

The material is preferably a hard urethane rubber that is lightweight and has good wear resistance, but wood, resin, aluminum, etc. can be used depending on the usage environment and location.
It is also possible to utilize thinned wood, etc. that is currently unused and in excess, which is a problem. When using wood, the footrest has a grooved structure on the top surface or a non-slip member. It is effective to paste.

  Next, the method of using the cane with the stair lift assisting stepper according to the present invention will be described. The cane with the stair climbing assisting stepper according to the present invention is a left and right type, and can be used with either the left or right foot. Also, you can hold the handle 4 at the top of the cane with either the left or right hand and hold the handrail on the staircase with the other hand, or hold the handle 4 at the top of the cane with both hands. May be used.

  In addition, the direction of the cane of the cane with the stair lift support step of the present invention may be such that the longitudinal direction is parallel to the staircase floor surface and the position of the cane part is outside, but the width of the staircase floor surface is wide, etc. In order to make the foot more stable, it may be used such that the longitudinal direction of the step is perpendicular to the staircase floor surface and the wand portion is on the front side.
