Conventionally, as this kind of walking stick, for example, there are the following. That is, this conventional one is called a so-called L-shaped or T-shaped cane, and includes a pipe-shaped shaft portion and a small-diameter portion that is formed with a smaller diameter than the shaft portion and is attached to the upper end thereof. And a grip attached to the small diameter portion of the shaft. The small diameter portion is inserted into the upper end portion of the shaft portion and fixed by an adhesive. Further, the small diameter portion and the grip are firmly fixed by screwing the screw portion and bonding with an adhesive.
JP 2005-124982 A

しかしながら、上記従来の杖に於いては、シャフトとグリップとが固着されて交換不能な一体物として構成されているために、次のような不都合を有していた。即ち、シャフト又はグリップの何れか一方のみが破損して使用不能となった場合、たとえ他方の部材が十分に使用できる状態にあっても、新しく杖を買い換える必要があり、大変不経済であった。また、杖を購入するに際しては、通常シャフトの柄や色調等のデザイン、グリップの握り易さや形状、全体のバランス等が選定の基準となる。しかるに、好みに合うような杖が必ずしも存在するとは限らず、例えばシャフト又はグリップの何れか一方が好みに合わないような場合もある。このような場合、妥協してその儘その杖を購入するか、或いは購入を諦めざるを得なかったのである。   However, the conventional cane has the following inconvenience because the shaft and the grip are fixed to each other and configured as an integral unit that cannot be replaced. That is, when only one of the shaft or the grip is damaged and becomes unusable, it is very uneconomical that it is necessary to purchase a new cane even if the other member is sufficiently usable. . In addition, when purchasing a cane, the design of the shaft pattern and color tone, ease of grip and shape of the grip, overall balance, etc. are usually the criteria for selection. However, there is not always a cane that suits the taste, and for example, either the shaft or the grip may not suit the taste. In such a case, he had to compromise and buy the cane or give up.

それ故に、本発明はかかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、杖を構成するシャフトとグリップとを個々に交換できるようにすると共に、使用者の好みに合った最適な杖を容易に得られるようにすることにある。   Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to individually exchange the shaft and the grip constituting the cane and to suit the user's preference. It is to make it easy to obtain a cane.

本発明に係る杖は、棒状のシャフトと、該シャフトの上端部に設けられるグリップとを備えた杖であって、該グリップ又は前記シャフトを交換できるように、該両部材が着脱自在に取付けられてなるものである。   The cane according to the present invention is a cane provided with a rod-shaped shaft and a grip provided at the upper end of the shaft, and the both members are detachably attached so that the grip or the shaft can be exchanged. It will be.

このような杖にあっては、シャフトとグリップとが着脱自在に取付けられてなるために、これら両部材の何れか一方を交換することが可能になる。従って、例えばこれら両部材のうち何れか一方が破損した場合は、その一方のみを交換すればよいために、大変経済的である。また、杖の販売形態として、シャフトとグリップとを夫々単品で販売することが可能となるために、購入者はシャフト及びグリップを個々に選定し、この両部材を取付けることにより、好みに合った最適な杖を容易に得ることができる。更に、このようなシャフトやグリップを複数所有していれば、例えばその時の自らの気分やTPO等に応じて杖を使い分けることが可能になる。   In such a cane, since the shaft and the grip are detachably attached, either one of these members can be exchanged. Therefore, for example, when one of these members is damaged, only one of them needs to be replaced, which is very economical. Moreover, since it becomes possible to sell a shaft and a grip separately as a selling form of the cane, the purchaser selects the shaft and the grip individually, and attaches both of these members to suit the preference. An optimal cane can be easily obtained. Furthermore, if a plurality of such shafts and grips are owned, for example, it becomes possible to use different canes according to their own mood or TPO at that time.

また、前記シャフトが、パイプ状のシャフト部と、雌ネジ部を有する連結孔が上端中央部に形成されて前記シャフト部の上端部に挿着される第1連結部とを備え、前記グリップが、人が把持するグリップ部と、前記連結孔の雌ネジ部に螺合される雄ネジ部を有して前記グリップ部に設けられる第2連結部とを備えているFurther, the shaft includes a pipe-shaped shaft portion, and a first connection portion in which a connection hole having a female screw portion is formed at an upper end central portion and is inserted into the upper end portion of the shaft portion, and the grip includes a grip portion which a person grasps, and a second connecting portion provided in the grip portion has a male screw portion screwed into the female threaded portion of the coupling hole.

この場合は、第2連結部の雄ネジ部を第1連結部の雌ネジ部に螺合することにより、これらの両連結部を介してシャフトとグリップとが着脱自在に取付けられることになる。   In this case, the shaft and the grip are detachably attached via both the connecting portions by screwing the male screw portion of the second connecting portion with the female screw portion of the first connecting portion.

更に、周方向に形成される係合溝を有する棒状体を前記第2連結部の雄ネジ部に延設すると共に、前記シャフト部の上端部に切欠を形成して、該切欠に前記第1連結部の前面部を配し、しかも該第1連結部の前面部に雌ネジ部を有する取付孔を径方向に形成する共に、該雌ネジ部に螺合される止ネジの先端部が前記係合溝に係合するように構成されているFurther, a rod-like body having an engagement groove formed in the circumferential direction is extended to the male thread portion of the second connecting portion, and a notch is formed in the upper end portion of the shaft portion, and the first notch is formed in the notch. arranged front portion of the connecting portion, moreover together to form a mounting hole having a female threaded portion on the front portion of the first connecting portion in the radial direction, the leading end portion of the fastening screw to be screwed into said female screw portion The engagement groove is configured to be engaged .

このように、第1連結部と第2連結部との固定手段として、これら各部材に夫々設けたネジ部の螺合と、係合溝への止ネジの係合という2種類の手段を採用することにより、両連結部を着脱自在に取付けることができる一方で、接着剤を使用することなく両者を確実且つ強固に固定することが可能になる。また、止ネジと係合溝との係合により、第2連結部の雄ネジ部の緩み防止も図れることになって、大変有用である。   As described above, two types of means are employed as the means for fixing the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, namely screwing of the screw portions provided in each of these members and engagement of a set screw with the engaging groove. By doing so, both connecting portions can be detachably attached, while both can be securely and firmly fixed without using an adhesive. Further, the engagement between the set screw and the engagement groove can prevent the loosening of the male screw portion of the second connecting portion, which is very useful.

更に、前記第1連結部の前面部にカバー体をスライド自在に設けて、前記止ネジを隠蔽し得るように構成してもよい。   Further, a cover body may be slidably provided on the front surface portion of the first connecting portion so that the set screw can be concealed.

これによると、通常の使用時には止ネジが隠蔽されるように、カバー体をスライドさせる。カバー体により止ネジは隠蔽されて、外観体裁を損なうようなことはない。一方、止ネジを取付孔に螺合及び螺脱する場合は、カバー体を逆方向にスライドさせた状態で行う。   According to this, the cover body is slid so that the set screw is hidden during normal use. The set screw is concealed by the cover body, and the appearance appearance is not impaired. On the other hand, when the set screw is screwed into and removed from the mounting hole, the cover body is slid in the reverse direction.

また、本発明に係る杖は非常に簡易な構成からなるために、その製作も容易に且つ安価に行える。   In addition, since the cane according to the present invention has a very simple configuration, it can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

以上のように、本発明によれば、シャフトとグリップとを個々に交換することができると共に、使用者の好みに合った最適な杖を容易に得ることができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, the shaft and the grip can be individually exchanged, and an optimal cane that suits the user's preference can be easily obtained.

以下、本発明に係る杖の一実施形態について、図面を参照しつつ説明する。図1は本実施形態に於ける杖の正面図で、図2は側面図を示す。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of a cane according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a cane in the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a side view.

図1に示すように、杖Aは所謂T字型杖と称されるものであり、棒状のシャフト1と、該シャフト1の上端部に設けられるグリップ2とを備えている。シャフト1は、パイプ状のシャフト部3と、該シャフト部3の上端部に挿着される第1連結部4と、前記シャフト部3の下端部に設けられる滑り止め用のゴム先5とからなっている。グリップ2は、使用者が把持するためのグリップ部6と、該グリップ部6を前記第1連結部4を介してシャフト部3に着脱自在に取付けるための第2連結部7とからなっている。例えば、前記シャフト1及びグリップ2の第2連結部7はアルミニウム等の軽金属で構成され、グリップ部は木材や合成樹脂等から構成される。しかるに、これら各部材の具体的な材質は、これに限定されるものではない。 As shown in FIG. 1, the cane A is a so-called T-shaped cane, and includes a rod-shaped shaft 1 and a grip 2 provided at the upper end of the shaft 1. The shaft 1 includes a pipe-shaped shaft portion 3, a first connecting portion 4 that is inserted into the upper end portion of the shaft portion 3, and a non-slip rubber tip 5 that is provided at the lower end portion of the shaft portion 3. It has become. The grip 2 includes a grip portion 6 for a user to hold, and a second connecting portion 7 for detachably attaching the grip portion 6 to the shaft portion 3 via the first connecting portion 4. . For example, the shaft 1 and the second connecting portion 7 of the grip 2 are made of a light metal such as aluminum, and the grip portion 6 is made of wood, synthetic resin, or the like. However, the specific material of each of these members is not limited to this.

シャフト部3の上端部には、所定幅を有する切欠3aが軸方向に形成されている。第1連結部4は、図3及び図4に示すように略円柱状に形成されており、その上端中央部には上部側に雌ネジ部10を有する連結孔11が軸方向に設けられている。また、図5(a)に示すように、第1連結部4の前面部には凹溝12を中央に有する凸状部13が軸方向に形成されており、凹溝12の両内側面にはガイド溝14、14が設けられている。凹溝12の下部には、雌ネジ部15を有する取付孔16が、前記連結孔11の下部側と連通するように径方向に設けられている。また、凹溝12には、上部及び取付孔16の上方位置に夫々嵌合凹部17、18が幅方向に設けられている。第1連結部4の上端部外周縁には、前記凸状部13と連なるようにして鍔部19が形成されている。尚、第1連結部4とシャフト部3とは接着剤により固着されている。本実施形態に係るシャフト1は、以上のように構成されている。 A cutout 3 a having a predetermined width is formed in the upper end portion of the shaft portion 3 in the axial direction. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first connecting portion 4 is formed in a substantially columnar shape, and a connecting hole 11 having a female screw portion 10 on the upper side is provided in the central portion of the upper end in the axial direction. Yes. Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, a convex portion 13 having a concave groove 12 in the center is formed in the front surface portion of the first connecting portion 4 in the axial direction, and both inner side surfaces of the concave groove 12 are formed. Are provided with guide grooves 14, 14. An attachment hole 16 having a female screw portion 15 is provided in the lower portion of the concave groove 12 in the radial direction so as to communicate with the lower side of the connection hole 11. The concave groove 12 is provided with fitting concave portions 17 and 18 in the width direction at the upper portion and the upper position of the mounting hole 16 , respectively. On the outer peripheral edge of the upper end portion of the first connecting portion 4, a flange portion 19 is formed so as to be continuous with the convex portion 13. The first connecting portion 4 and the shaft portion 3 are fixed by an adhesive. The shaft 1 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above.

第2連結部7の上端部には、前記グリップ部6の下面に形成された雌ネジ部6aに螺合する雄ネジ部20が設けられている。これら各ネジ部6a、20は、接着剤により二重に固着されている。また、第2連結部7の下部側には、図3に示すように第1連結部4の雌ネジ部10に螺合可能な雄ネジ部21が形成され、更に該雄ネジ部21の下端部には棒状部22が延設されている。また、棒状部22の外周面には、前記取付孔16の雌ネジ部15に止ネジ23を締着した際に、その先端部が係合する係合溝24が周方向に形成されている。   A male screw portion 20 that is screwed into a female screw portion 6 a formed on the lower surface of the grip portion 6 is provided at the upper end portion of the second connecting portion 7. Each of these screw portions 6a and 20 is double-fixed by an adhesive. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a male screw portion 21 that can be screwed into the female screw portion 10 of the first connecting portion 4 is formed on the lower side of the second connecting portion 7, and the lower end of the male screw portion 21 is further formed. A bar-like portion 22 is extended in the portion. Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the rod-like portion 22, an engaging groove 24 is formed in the circumferential direction to engage the tip portion when the set screw 23 is fastened to the female screw portion 15 of the mounting hole 16. .

このように両連結部4、7の固定手段として、各ネジ部10、21の螺合、及び係合溝24への止ネジ23の係合という2種類の手段を採用しているために、両連結部4、7を着脱自在に固定できる一方で、接着剤を使用することなく両者を確実且つ強固に固定することができる。また、止ネジ23と係合溝24との係合により、第2連結部7の雄ネジ部21の緩み防止も図ることができて、大変有用である。   As described above, as the fixing means for the connecting portions 4 and 7, two types of means of screwing the screw portions 10 and 21 and engaging the set screw 23 to the engaging groove 24 are employed. While both the connection parts 4 and 7 can be fixed detachably, both can be fixed reliably and firmly, without using an adhesive agent. In addition, the engagement between the set screw 23 and the engagement groove 24 can prevent loosening of the male screw portion 21 of the second connecting portion 7, which is very useful.

尚、第2連結部7には、各連結部4、7のネジ部10、21を締着させた際に、第1連結部4の鍔部19の上面に当接する鍔部25が設けられている。また、この状態で第1連結部4の凹溝12の上部開口部分は、図2及び図3に示すように鍔部25により閉鎖されることになる。本実施形態に係るグリップ2は、以上のように構成されている。   The second connecting portion 7 is provided with a flange portion 25 that comes into contact with the upper surface of the flange portion 19 of the first connecting portion 4 when the screw portions 10 and 21 of the connecting portions 4 and 7 are fastened. ing. In this state, the upper opening portion of the groove 12 of the first connecting portion 4 is closed by the flange portion 25 as shown in FIGS. The grip 2 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above.

第1連結部4の凹溝12には、図5(b)に示すような合成樹脂製のカバー体30が上下方向にスライド自在に設けられている。即ち、カバー体30の両側部には、第1連結部4のガイド溝14にスライド自在に嵌合するレール31、31が設けられている。また、カバー体30の裏面上部側には、前記第1連結部4の嵌合凹部17、18に嵌合可能な嵌合凸部32が設けられている。この嵌合凸部32を上側の嵌合凹部17に嵌合させた開放状態では、図4に示すように、第1連結部4の取付孔16に螺合させた止ネジ23の頭部が露出し、カバー体30から手を離してもこの開放状態は維持される。これにより、止ネジ23の螺合及び螺脱作業を容易に行うことができる。   A synthetic resin cover body 30 as shown in FIG. 5B is provided in the concave groove 12 of the first connecting portion 4 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. That is, rails 31, 31 that are slidably fitted in the guide grooves 14 of the first connecting portion 4 are provided on both sides of the cover body 30. Further, a fitting convex portion 32 that can be fitted into the fitting concave portions 17 and 18 of the first connecting portion 4 is provided on the upper surface side of the back surface of the cover body 30. In the open state in which the fitting convex portion 32 is fitted to the upper fitting concave portion 17, as shown in FIG. 4, the head of the set screw 23 screwed into the mounting hole 16 of the first connecting portion 4 is located. Even when the cover body 30 is exposed and released, this open state is maintained. Thereby, the set screw 23 can be easily screwed and unscrewed.

一方、カバー体30を下方にスライドさせて、その嵌合凸部32を下側の嵌合凹部18に嵌合させた閉鎖状態では、図1乃至図3に示すように、前記止ネジ23がカバー体30により隠蔽されるために、外観体裁を損なうようなことはない。通常、杖Aはこの状態で使用される。また、この閉鎖状態でカバー体30の裏面は、止ネジ23の頭部に当接するように構成されている。これにより、振動等による止ネジ23の緩みを好適に防止することができる。更に、カバー体30は、その嵌合凸部32と嵌合する各嵌合凹部17、18の存在、及び第2連結部7の鍔部25による凹溝12の上部開口部分の閉鎖により、不用意に第1連結部4から離脱するようなことはない。   On the other hand, in the closed state in which the cover body 30 is slid downward and the fitting convex portion 32 is fitted into the lower fitting concave portion 18, as shown in FIGS. Since it is concealed by the cover body 30, the appearance appearance is not impaired. Usually, the cane A is used in this state. Further, in this closed state, the back surface of the cover body 30 is configured to contact the head of the set screw 23. Thereby, loosening of the set screw 23 by vibration etc. can be prevented suitably. Furthermore, the cover body 30 is not effective due to the presence of the respective fitting recesses 17 and 18 fitted to the fitting projection 32 and the closure of the upper opening portion of the groove 12 by the flange 25 of the second connecting portion 7. There is no possibility of leaving the first connecting portion 4 in preparation.

また、カバー体30の下端中央には切欠33が形成されており、カバー体30が閉鎖状態にある場合は、図1及び図3に示すように、第1連結部4の凹溝12の下面間には隙間34が形成される。この隙間34にはマイナスドライバーの先端が挿入可能であり、ドライバーの先端でカバー体30を上向きに押圧すれば、該カバー体30の嵌合凸部32と第1連結部4の嵌合凹部18との嵌合状態を容易に解除できる。これにより、カバー体30を閉鎖状態から開放状態となるように上向きにスライドさせることが可能になる。   Moreover, the notch 33 is formed in the lower end center of the cover body 30, and when the cover body 30 is in a closed state, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.3, the lower surface of the concave groove 12 of the 1st connection part 4 is shown. A gap 34 is formed between them. A tip of a flat-blade screwdriver can be inserted into the gap 34, and when the cover body 30 is pressed upward with the tip of the driver, the fitting convex portion 32 of the cover body 30 and the fitting concave portion 18 of the first connecting portion 4. Can be easily released. Thereby, it becomes possible to slide the cover body 30 upward so that it may be in an open state from a closed state.

尚、カバー体30を合成樹脂で構成すると、第1連結部4が金属等で構成されて両者間に若干の寸法誤差があっても、かかる誤差はカバー体30の変形により適切に吸収される。但し、カバー体30は金属等で構成しても構わない。   When the cover body 30 is made of synthetic resin, even if the first connecting portion 4 is made of metal or the like and there is a slight dimensional error between them, the error is appropriately absorbed by the deformation of the cover body 30. . However, the cover body 30 may be made of metal or the like.

本実施形態に係る杖Aは、以上のように構成されている。かかる杖Aは従来の杖と同様に歩行の際に携帯して使用されるが、これにより使用者の歩行を良好に補助することができる。しかるに、このような使用等によって、シャフト1又はグリップ2の何れか一方が破損する場合がある。この場合は、次のようにして破損した部材を交換することができる。以下、その一例としてシャフト1が破損した場合について説明する。   The cane A according to the present embodiment is configured as described above. The cane A is carried and used during walking in the same manner as a conventional cane, and this can assist the user in walking well. However, such use or the like may cause damage to either the shaft 1 or the grip 2. In this case, the damaged member can be replaced as follows. Hereinafter, a case where the shaft 1 is broken will be described as an example.

シャフト1を新しいものと交換するために、先ず破損したシャフト1をグリップ2から取外す必要がある。即ち、上述したようにマイナスドライバーの先端をカバー体30の切欠33と凹溝12間に形成された隙間34に挿入する。閉鎖状態にあるカバー体30を上向きに押圧して、その嵌合凸部32と下側の嵌合凹部18との嵌合状態を解除する。そして、嵌合凸部32が上側の嵌合凹部17に嵌合するように、カバー体30を上向きにスライドさせて開放する。   In order to replace the shaft 1 with a new one, it is first necessary to remove the damaged shaft 1 from the grip 2. That is, as described above, the tip of the flathead screwdriver is inserted into the gap 34 formed between the notch 33 and the concave groove 12 of the cover body 30. The cover body 30 in the closed state is pressed upward to release the fitting state between the fitting convex portion 32 and the lower fitting concave portion 18. Then, the cover body 30 is slid upward to open so that the fitting convex portion 32 fits into the upper fitting concave portion 17.

次に、止ネジ23を取付孔16の雌ネジ部15から螺脱して取外す。その後、シャフト1を手で固定した状態でグリップ2を回転させて、第2連結部7の雄ネジ部21を第1連結部4の雌ネジ部10から螺脱する。これにより、シャフト1をグリップ2から取外すことができる。   Next, the set screw 23 is unscrewed from the female screw portion 15 of the mounting hole 16 and removed. Thereafter, the grip 2 is rotated with the shaft 1 fixed by hand, and the male screw portion 21 of the second connecting portion 7 is unscrewed from the female screw portion 10 of the first connecting portion 4. Thereby, the shaft 1 can be removed from the grip 2.

次に、このグリップ2に新しく用意したシャフト1を取付けるのであるが、かかる取付作業は上述した取外作業とは全く逆の作業となる。即ち、第2連結部7の雄ネジ部21と第1連結部4の雌ネジ部10とを螺合した後、止ネジ23を取付孔16の雌ネジ部15に螺合して、その先端部を第2連結部7の係合溝24に係合させる。更に、カバー体30を下向きにスライドさせて、その嵌合凸部32を第1連結部4の嵌合凹部18に嵌合すれば、取付作業は完了する。 Next, the newly prepared shaft 1 is attached to the grip 2. This attachment operation is completely opposite to the above-described removal operation. That is, after the male screw portion 21 of the second connecting portion 7 and the female screw portion 10 of the first connecting portion 4 are screwed together, the set screw 23 is screwed into the female screw portion 15 of the mounting hole 16 and the tip thereof The portion is engaged with the engaging groove 24 of the second connecting portion 7. Furthermore, if the cover body 30 is slid downward and the fitting convex part 32 is fitted in the fitting concave part 18 of the 1st connection part 4, attachment work will be completed.

以上説明したように、シャフト1とグリップ2とを着脱するという一連の交換作業は極めて簡易な作業であるために、高齢者等であっても容易に行うことができる。尚、グリップ2が破損した場合も同様にして、その交換を行えばよい。   As described above, a series of exchanging operations for attaching and detaching the shaft 1 and the grip 2 are extremely simple operations, and therefore can be easily performed even by an elderly person or the like. If the grip 2 is damaged, the replacement may be performed in the same manner.

また、このようにしてシャフト1又はグリップ2の何れか一方のみを交換することができるために、従来のもののように杖を新たに買い換えるという必要はなくなり、よって大変経済的である。   In addition, since only one of the shaft 1 and the grip 2 can be exchanged in this way, it is not necessary to newly purchase a cane as in the conventional one, which is very economical.

更に、杖Aの販売形態として、シャフト1とグリップ2とを夫々単品で販売することが可能となるために、購入者はシャフト1及びグリップ2を個々に選定し、この両部材1、2を取付けることによって、好みに合った最適な杖Aを容易に得ることができる。また、このようなシャフト1やグリップ2を複数所有していれば、例えばその時の自らの気分やTPO等に応じて杖Aを使い分けることが可能になる。   Furthermore, since the shaft 1 and the grip 2 can be sold separately as a sales form of the cane A, the purchaser selects the shaft 1 and the grip 2 individually, and both the members 1 and 2 are selected. By attaching it, it is possible to easily obtain an optimal cane A that suits the taste. Further, if a plurality of such shafts 1 and grips 2 are owned, the cane A can be used properly depending on, for example, its own mood or TPO at that time.
