Depending on the fixing manner, the length, shape and elastic modulus of the sleeve 10 can be adjusted correspondingly so that The sleeve 10 can be securely sleeved on the bottom of the cane 200. Preferably, the sleeve 10 can be elastic (for example, made of rubber), and thus has functions such as cushioning and shock absorption.

The sleeve seat 20 is for fixing the sleeve 10 and has a joint portion 21 that is coupled to the sleeve 10. The joint portion 21 accommodates the sleeve 10 and the bottom of the crutches 200 by a groove or a groove surrounded by the inner wall for inserting and fixing the bottom of the crutches 200.

Further, the joint portion 21 of the sleeve 10 and the sleeve seat 20 respectively have a corresponding inner tooth portion 11 and an outer tooth portion 22, so that the sleeve 10 and the sleeve seat 20 can be engaged with each other, thereby fixing The crutches 200 (but the sleeve 10 and the sleeve holder 20 of the present invention are not limited to this combination). Further, the sleeve and the inner tooth portion 11 thereof may be made of an elastic material, and the sleeve seat and the outer tooth portion 22 may be made of a relatively hard material, whereby the creation can be matched by a soft and hard material. The best fixing effect between the sleeve 10 and the sleeve seat 20 is achieved.

The base 30 is combined with the bottom of the sleeve holder 20 to form a space therebetween for accommodating other components. In this embodiment, the bottom of the sleeve seat 20 has a top cover shape, and the hollow portion enclosed by the sleeve seat 20 is combined with the top of the base 30 to form the accommodating space. However, the sleeve seat 20 and the base 30 of the present invention are not limited to this combination. In addition, the base may have elasticity (for example, made of rubber) to increase the frictional force of the illuminating foot pad 100 (ie, the function of increasing the slip resistance).

The light emitting element 40 can be disposed in the accommodating space. The illuminating element can continue to emit light or can be flashed and illuminated by a circuit board (not shown). The bottom of the sleeve holder 20 is made of a light transmissive material for transmitting the light emitted by the light emitting element 40.

In this embodiment, the control element can be a touch switch 50 coupled to the light-emitting element 40 for determining whether the light-emitting element 40 is turned on or off. For example, the touch switch 50 can use a push-type switch (such as a single-button alternate trigger switch) or a touch-sensitive switch.

Accordingly, when the user wants to use the illuminating foot pad 100 of the embodiment, the bottom of the crutches 200 can be fixed to the ferrule holder 20 through the sleeve 10 (the length, shape and elastic modulus of the sleeve 10). It can be designed for design, for example, with the type of crutches 200, to achieve buffering, shock absorption and other functions. The light-emitting element 40, which is placed in the space formed by the sleeve holder 20 and the base 30, can be continuously illuminated or flashed to achieve an alert or illumination function, thereby avoiding danger to the user due to poor ambient light. In addition, the user can determine whether the light-emitting element 40 is turned on or off by contacting the touch switch 50.

Referring to FIG. 2, an exploded perspective view of the illuminated footpad 100 in the second embodiment of the present invention is shown.

In this embodiment, the light-emitting floor mat 100 includes a sleeve 10, a sleeve holder 20, a base 30, a light-emitting element 40, and a control element for controlling the light-emitting element 40.

Although the sleeve 10 and the sleeve holder 20 are different in structure from the first embodiment, they are all designed to fix the bottom of the cane 200. In other words, the sleeve 10 and the sleeve seat 20 of the second embodiment are used to illustrate that there are other possible combinations between the two, for example, the upper end and the lower end of the sleeve 10 are respectively sleeved on the bottom of the cane 200. And the casing seat 20, and the casing seat 20 has a joint portion 21 for directly inserting and fixing the bottom of the crutches 200.

The combination of the sleeve holder 20 and the base 30 of the second embodiment is also different from that of the first embodiment.
