Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to improving the grip of the handshake part of a cane.

[Conventional technology] Traditionally, canes have been fitted with plastic grips that are textured to match the shape of the fingers and back of the hand.
Manufactured for people with physical disabilities. This type of cane is extendable and can be adjusted to suit the user's height.

[Problems that the invention aims to solve] However, in the past, the shape of the handshake was fixed, so that all users with different hand sizes, shapes, habits, and grip strength could obtain an optimal handshake. I couldn't.

The purpose of this invention is to help users adjust their hand size and
To provide a cane with a moldable handshake, which can be set to an optimal shape for each person according to shape, habit, grip strength, etc., and allows all users to obtain the best grip feeling.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the moldable handshake cane of the present invention includes a cane main body, a handshake core fixed to the cane main body, and a handshake core fitted onto the outside of the handshake core. The handgrip has a structure consisting of a plastic cylindrical handshake outer body that is hard in a temperature range near the human body temperature and softens in temperatures higher than that temperature range.

[Function and Effects of the Invention] The moldable handshake cane of the present invention has a cylindrical handshake outer body that is warmed to around 60°C by soaking it in hot water for 2 to 3 minutes, and then firmly grasping the outer body in this state. The outer shape is made to match the shape of the user's hand. If this outer body is left to cool, it will harden and form a handshake that perfectly fits the shape of the user's hand. As a result, a handshake cane with an optimal shape for all users can be obtained.

[Example] Fig. 1 shows a moldable handshake cane according to the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a cane body, 2 a handshake whose one end is fixed to the middle upper part of the cane body, and 3 an arm brace pivotally attached to the upper end of the cane body. The cane body 1 has an outer pipe 11 with a bent part 1A of about 10 degrees at the middle and slightly upper part.
and the lower part 12 and upper part 13 of this outer pipe 11
It has inner pipes 4 and 5 slidably inserted therein. The outer pipe 11 includes the inner pipe 4
Positioning hole 1 for determining the fixing position of and 5
The inner pipes 4 and 5 are provided with pushable pins 41 and 51, which fit into the positioning holes 1B, respectively. A stone butt 42 is attached to the lower end of the inner pipe 4 to prevent slipping, and a cap 5 is attached to the upper end of the inner pipe 5 to serve as a pivoting means for the arm brace 3.
2 is fixed.

The handshake 2 includes a stopper 6 consisting of a band-like part 61 attached to the bent part 1A of the cane body, a cylindrical part 62 extending from both ends of the band-like part 61, and the stopper 6. It consists of a cylindrical handshake core body 7 which is fitted onto the outside of the cylindrical portion of the handshake core 7, and a cylindrical handshake outer body 8 which is fitted onto the outside of the handshake core body 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a plastic plug fitted to the end of the handshake core body 7, and also serves as a stopper for the handshake outer body 8.

This handshake outer body 8 melts at the temperature of hot water (82°C) and melts at 60°C.
It softens at the front and back, allowing it to be molded into various shapes with bare hands, and hardens at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius, around human body temperature, to form a plastic cylinder with great strength. This molded body is manufactured by soaking a pellet-shaped raw material in hot water, melting it, and casting it into a mold to form it into a cylindrical shape.

As shown in FIG. 3, the user first immerses the handshake 2 portion of the cane in hot water 10 at around 60° C. for 2 to 3 minutes to heat it. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the handshake outer body 8 is firmly grasped with a wet bare hand 14.
As a result, the handshake outer body 8 becomes as shown in FIG.
It deforms according to the shape of your hand. If this is cooled in the air, a strong handshake can be obtained in about 10 minutes.

Note that the handshake core body may be formed of a soft metal pipe such as copper or aluminum, and may be deformable by a person's physical strength.
