Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve an antislipping hardware by constituting the antislipping hardware, which is disposed at a lower part in contact with the road surface of a leg part fixed to a stick, a ladder, etc., of porous metal easily absorbing water so as to absorb water remaining on the road surface from fine holes to make it difficult to form the film of water in gap with the road surface. SOLUTION: The antislipping hardware 1 is fixed to a friction member 3 mounted to the lower part of the leg part 2 of a stick in a partially buried state. This hardware 1 consists of porousness (metal) with a lower part in the form of a curved surface which is formed by sintering through the use of stainless steel material and gives not only the antislipping effect but each effect of rust prevention and wear resistance. Thereby, even when water, etc., remains on the road surface, the water is absorbed and elevated from the fine holes of the hardware 1 by capillarity to prevent the formation of water film between the road surface and the lower tip of the hardware 1 to obtain an excellent antislipping effect.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a non-slip fitting attached to the lower end of a leg such as a cane or a ladder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a leg or a leg of a cane or a ladder,
It is well known that a rubber or an appropriate resin is attached to a portion which comes into contact with a road surface to prevent slippage or reinforcement.

[0003]

However, in the case of such rubber or resin, it is convenient to prevent slippage by frictional force, but there is a problem in abrasion resistance. Further, for example, when the road surface is wetted by rain or the like, and the film is easily slipped by the moisture film, the frictional force of the material alone is not sufficient, and the development of an effective anti-slip means is desired.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a non-slip fitting which is hard to slip even in rain or the like and is preferable in terms of abrasion resistance (durability).

[0005]

That is, the present invention is a non-slip metal fitting provided at a lower end portion of a leg portion of a cane, a ladder or the like in contact with a road surface, and is formed of a porous metal which easily absorbs moisture. Is what it is.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a non-slip metal 1 according to the present invention. The non-slip metal 1 is fixed to a friction member 3 attached to a lower portion of a leg portion 2 of a cane in a partially buried state. . In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to the leg of the walking stick. Alternatively, the present invention may be applied to a leg such as a ladder.

The anti-slip fitting 1 of this embodiment is made of a porous material (metal) formed by sintering a stainless steel material (the lower part has a curved surface shape).
It is partially buried and fixed at the lower part of the housing, and provides not only a slip prevention effect but also rust prevention and abrasion resistance. The method of attaching the non-slip metal fitting 1 to the friction member 3 is as follows.
For example, insert molding in which the friction member 3 is set in a predetermined mold before molding is used. The friction member 3 of this embodiment is formed of rubber (or an appropriate resin), and an SPC washer (substantially disk-shaped member made of stainless steel or the like) 4 is provided on the upper side. Leg 1
Is fixed at its lower end.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, even if moisture or the like remains on the road surface, the moisture is absorbed and raised from the fine holes of the anti-slip fitting 1 by capillary action, and the road surface and the lower end of the anti-slip fitting 1 are connected to each other. It is possible to prevent the formation of a water film during the process, and the anti-slip effect is large.

[0009]

According to the present invention, since the porous metal is provided, water remaining on the road surface is absorbed from the fine pores.
A film of water is hardly formed on the road surface, and as a result, the anti-slip effect when used as a cane or a ladder is large. Further, according to the present invention, since the metal comes into contact with the road surface, it is also advantageous in terms of durability (abrasion resistance).
