Cane with auxiliary grip support

The present invention relates to the technical field of the structure of the cane, and particularly relates to a cane with an auxiliary holding support which can be easily and easily grasped by a user, has stable support and is not easy to be fatigued, and has a long-lasting grip and is not easy to loose.

Cane is a kind of auxiliary tool commonly used in daily life. It is mainly used as an auxiliary support for people when walking. It is widely used. It can be used as a mountain for people who are supported by the elderly or those with limited mobility. It is assisted by leisure sports, so the use of walking sticks covers almost all ages.

The deterioration of physiological functions and sensory functions caused by diseases and aging in the elderly leads to the need for assistive devices to provide tactile sensations on the ground, help support the weight of the lower limbs, maintain balance and stability, and use walking aids that suit individual needs and functions. It can increase the support base for the elderly, enhance the sense of balance, and maintain the function of life in order to improve the quality of life. The cane is the simplest and most common type of walking aid. Its function is to increase the supporting force during walking to slow down the load of the lower limbs or body bones, improve the balance function, and explore the surrounding environment.

The use of the general cane is generally used to assist the inconvenience of walking ability caused by congenital diseases, trauma, aging, etc., thereby reducing the burden on the user's body, and the support function provided by the cane to enhance the safety of walking.

It is particularly worth mentioning that, according to the CNS National Standards of the Republic of China Fan, the cane belongs to the first level of medical equipment, mainly for elderly people who only need one-handed assistance, mild unilateral lower limbs, good hand function or poor balance; and, in the CNS, the national standard of the Republic of China The method for measuring the length of the cane in the specification is to allow the user to stand up and relax naturally in a sagging posture, hold the handle of the cane, bend the elbow joint by about 20 to 30 degrees, and place the rubber head of the cane pole on the same side. The outer side of the small toe is about 15CM obliquely forward.

In general, when using a cane with a healthy side hand, it can reduce the weight of the lower limb of the affected side by about 20% to 25%. Because it can provide users with less stability and support than crutches or walkers; therefore, it is more suitable for single-handed assistance, mild unilateral lower limbs, good hand function or balanced Poor elderly.

Although the use of the cane covers almost all ages, the style of the cane is rarely changed. It consists mainly of a stick body and a cane head connected to one end of the rod body. If there is a change, it is the head of the cane. Material changes, such as the cane head made of plastic, rubber or wood. Among them, the cane head made of wood is very popular among middle and old people because of its good grip and touch.

As mentioned above, most of the sticks currently used in the market are improved in terms of material, length, and appearance. The common cane functions are generally limited to length adjustment, material change, and appearance change, and less practical for the functions required. In particular, there are even fewer ergonomic designers who can follow the CNS's specifications.

The support body is made of a material having high rigidity, and includes a body portion accommodated in the receiving groove, and a pair of joint portions disposed on the body portion to be engaged with the groove. By combining the structural characteristics of the covering body and the supporting body, the present invention has the necessary structure and supporting strength, and can provide a comfortable grip feeling.

However, the rod body of the cane structure as described above does not have any functional design for gripping the angle of the elbow joint when the human arm is naturally relaxed and sagging, and there is no structure that can be easily grasped by the user. The design will cause the user to use the inconvenience of the grip, which is one of the disadvantages of the use of the structure of the cane.

Moreover, the joint structure of the covering body and the support body is only formed into a simple vertical joint with the upper end of the rod body, and there is no supporting design structure for the auxiliary grip, and the aforementioned laborious grip may cause the user to easily fatigue. It can not be held for a long time and is easy to loose. It is the second disadvantage of the use of the structure of the walking stick.

Therefore, how to solve the structural design of the walking stick structure that the user can easily hold, and the inconvenience that the user must laboriously hold the grip, and the support design structure lacking the auxiliary grip can cause the user to easily The improvement of the creators, such as fatigue, inability to hold for a long time, and easy to loosen, is the difficult point to solve in this case.
