The guide member for the tip of the stick (30,3) can also pass through the guide recess (21) and can be guided therein between an inserted (A) and a withdrawn (E) position.

Description

 Walking support stick or the like

The invention relates generally to a walking aid or walking support, a stick or the like having a stick end which can be switched from a resilient end stubble to a rigid end tip which is often referred to as an ice thorn and which can be in a wide variety of embodiments. In particular, it relates to this trained sticks for a wide variety of uses, in particular also stick support or lower parts that can be connected to a top part, furthermore stick or push-like walking aids or connecting pieces for the sick and handicapped or their supporting parts or lower parts to be placed on the floor

Such bifunctional or multifunctional walking stubs or their stubs or lower parts in any case have a cavity extending towards the tip of the stick, so they are hollow, or at least to a greater extent, preferably hollow and preferably approximately tubular, with the inputs and Extension mechanism for the tip of the stick is housed

These sticks, connecting pieces, crutches or the like or their supporting or lower parts to be fitted are preferably formed with metal tubes

It is essential with these walking sticks that they securely support a person, in particular a frail or movement or walking disabled person, with all occurring floor types and conditions, i.e. in the same way on a textile carpet flooring as on icy paths, steps, steps or the like in winter , thanks to the switchability from a rather flat stubble on the ground to a "sharp" stick end tip, whether this is a real conical or pyramidal tip as a cutting star or, for example, with a circumferential, crater-like cutting edge and center Recess or the like is formed

It is also essential that a high level of security against undesired bending or even hindering the retracting and extending mechanism, even in the event of a load exceeding the walking support load that occurs when used properly and under normal conditions, e.g. if the end of the stick gets stuck in a grating, in one Floor gap, between stones or the like, is given

Another important factor is the stability and safety of the tip retracting and extending mechanism itself, as well as the securing of its position in the two end positions. AT-393 216 B discloses an extendable walking support with a rubber stopper at the lower end of a tubular support leg which has an ice thorn which can be pulled out and pulled in by the rubber stopper and which is arranged at the lower end of a rod which is displaceably mounted in the support leg tubular support leg is a displaceably mounted piston which has an axial bore in which the rod with the ice mandrel can be displaced, as well as a threaded hole into which an adjusting screw for locking the rod engages with respect to the piston, which protrudes outwards through an elongated slot in the outer tube A locking device is also provided there, in which the above-mentioned displaceably mounted piston has an upper and lower locking recess for engaging a locking pin which is spring-loaded radially inwards from the outside of the stick

Although the solution described in the AT-B certainly represents a certain advance in walking sticks of this type, the stability of the positioning of the tip in extreme cases may not be sufficient in the case of greater loads, since the force of the spring which radially inwardly pushes the retaining pin may be overcome can be

From US 3 901 258 A a walking stick has become known, in which a stick tip ensemble connected to the stick is arranged in the region of the distal end of the stick, which has a retracting and extending as well as locking device for a recess in a stick - End stubble penetrating - includes end tip, by means of which the stick end tip can be moved and fixed in a mountain position hidden in the stick end stubble and in a rage position projecting beyond the stick end stubble, and furthermore the stick end tip can be released is connected to an axially and rotationally sliding sliding spring in the end sleeve with spring force in the direction of the stick handle, and the locking device has a guide recess radially outwardly projecting from the guide piece and into an approximately bayonet-like elongated guide recess of the end sleeve of the stick with an axially parallel longitudinal Section and a transverse Ab adjoining it on the distal side cut at least protruding guide pin

A major disadvantage of the solution that appears to be acceptable in concept and at first reading according to the aforementioned US-A is that no provision is made for a mechanically stable position and locking of the extended stick tip in its rage position, but this is particularly important If, for example, the subsurface is smooth, icy, soft-slippery or the like, there is an inevitable relative rotation between the cane tube and the cane tip held by a loamy-sticky subsurface and the one that supports it, for example, during trimming on the cane Guide piece, the same radially protruding guide and support pin slides without any hindrance by a locking element along the horizontal section of the L- or reverse-L-shaped guide recess until it reaches its vertical, axially parallel section. The tip of the stick or the guide piece then loaded by the spring slides in the direction to stick inside the Stockes back and is no longer available for anchoring the stick in the ground and thus for securely supporting a person

Last but not least, it should be noted that the type of mounting of the pole tip shaft provided in the tip guide piece according to the US-A is extremely deficient due to the screw clamping by means of the guide pin screw there

Another major disadvantage of the solution known from US-A1 for a retractable stick tip is then that the guide pin of the quite robust and therefore mechanically reasonably acceptable stable guide piece is guided in a backdrop-like guide recess in the thin material of the stick tube itself and therefore total load of the stick on the guide pin, which, see above, seems to be unsuitable for this, and concentrates on the stick tube forming the stick. This load may well be tolerable if the pipe material of the stick is not supported by the cow-like, L-shaped guide recess, mechanically significantly weakened in both the longitudinal and transverse directions For the technological background, reference should also be made to the CH 6032 A, which relates to a stick with a retractable and extendable tip, with an S anchored in the extremely robust and thick-walled stick tube near the handle Tift protrudes radially inwards and in an L-shaped guide recess of a thin-walled guide sleeve of the stick shaft connected to the handle carrying the end tip and with the handle knob protrudes and can be adjusted to a retracted or extended position. The disadvantage of this known type is the massive Embodiment of both the cane tube and the cane tip shaft, which leads to a high, practically a stick made of solid material corresponding weight This massive construction is in stark contrast to the above thin-walled guide sleeve of the handle, which is unable to withstand any heavy support load during use

The present invention has set itself the task of creating a walking support as defined in the introduction, which is characterized by ease of use, overall low weight, low maintenance, high strength and high security and stability of the construction in the two end positions of the, preferably rigid, end tip distinguished

The invention thus relates to a walking support, in particular a walking stick, hunting stick, mountain stick, tourist stick, a sick or handicapped support or stick, a crutch or a crutch support part, with end stubble made of flexible material and in a cavity the walking support slidably retractable and extendable pole tip made of rigid material, which is characterized in that it has an axially slow-sliding and rotatably mounted guide sleeve in the cylindrical hollow of at least one in the hollow of the walking support or of its hollow part, which is detachable or non-detachable, an interchangeable or permanently attached or material-integral floor End tip or the like, also supporting load-bearing stick tip guide piece with at least one radially projecting, supporting load-bearing guide projection or the like, which has an essentially L-shaped or mirror-image L-shaped, with axially parallel L-long bar and shorter L-shaped crossbar formed guide recess of the guide sleeve protrudes or protrudes through this recess and is slidably movable in the same between an extended position and a retracted position

It is particularly important and advantageous for the high mechanical strength of the new overall concept that the cow-like guide recess is arranged in a sleeve that easily absorbs the supporting load, but also any transverse forces that may arise, and reinforces the tube of the walking support from the inside, so that the sleeve is supported by the recess otherwise material monitoring in the pipe wall due to the presence of this sleeve which fits snugly on the inside of the stick hollow part or which may even be materially connected no longer plays a role. The bayonet lock-like embodiment of the basic form corresponding to an "L" is very important for the safety of use of the new walking supports Guide recess, whereby depending on the "handiness" of the user, the L-crossbar can be directed to the right or to the left

The mechanical stability is also further increased by the fact that the guide recess having the load-bearing receptacle is accommodated in the tube of the walking support, which is weakened by no other recess in the area there, and that the tube of the stick or lower part of the stick with adjustable sticks includes the reinforcement sleeve is connected via a large force-absorbing surface. According to claim 2, the

Guide projection of the guide piece is formed with at least one end of a guide pin arranged in the same, in the radially protruding guide pin. In this type of construction, simple manufacture and high stress resistance are ensured

The mechanics are particularly resilient when a doubling of the guide pin and guide recess according to A n s r u c h 3 is provided, which enables a more even distribution of the support load on the hollow part of the stick

High security of the position fixation of the pole tip in the extended position can be achieved by arranging a snap-in recess at the end of the crossbar of the guide recess in the guide sleeve in accordance with A n s p r u c h 4

In the sense of an exact position in both the retracted and extended positions, the force applied to the pole tip guide piece is appropriate

Claim 5 provided In the case of a particularly simple embodiment of the walking supports according to the invention or of their stick tip mechanism according to claim 6, the guide pin capable of receiving the load supports an actuating element for the tip guide mechanism and a force or force element by appropriate equipment with a knob, a grip screw or the like organ capable of supporting the load

Significantly fewer requirements with regard to the forces to be absorbed are imposed on a separate, separate manipulation mechanism for the pole tip guide piece, which is preferably provided within the scope of the present invention

A n s p r u c h 7 posed These forces are absorbed by the actual stick tip mechanics with guide piece, guide ledge and guide sleeve

A vanante version according to claim 8 is particularly user-friendly, since it allows the low-stress operating elements for the stick tip mechanism to be moved close to the handle or part of the handle and armrest part of a stick, support or crutch good securing of the position fixation can be achieved with a clamp fixation according to claim 9

Both in terms of production technology and, for example, in the case of a desired replacement, a detachable fixation of the stucco tip guide sleeves in the hollow cane part according to claim 10 is advantageous. However, a non-releasable, material-locking connection of this sleeve to the hollow part can also be provided, which is a particularly favorable distribution which brings mechanical forces to the lower part of the stick

The operating mechanism of the new walking supports can be designed to be pleasant to use and especially smooth-running if a plastic coating, e.g. with Teflon, is provided, or if the parts subject to sliding displacement are made of a mechanically heavy-duty plastic, such as nylon, ABS-Polymeπsate , or are made of, preferably lubricant-soaked, high-strength pore or sintered light metal, as disclosed in claim 11

A holder that is only slightly stressed and can be easily removed, for example by means of a worm screw, is necessary for a type of guide sleeve for the tip of the guide piece according to claim 12, because here the support load is mainly taken up by a protruding collar or the like, which is supported at the lower end of the hollow cane part. In particular with regard to the simple design, a recess in the cane end stub can be advantageous for accommodating the cane end with the dimensions specified in the cited claim

An embodiment according to can be favorable for the distribution and introduction of the forces and loads occurring when fitting the new walking supports into the end plug, which is made, for example, from abrasion-resistant, synthetic rubber Claim 13

When arranging a T-shaped guide set according to claim 14, no more consideration needs to be given to the user's left- or right-handedness, since it can be operated both right-handed and hand-held without any problems. The wrong T actually corresponds -Shape of a large "L", which has an L-crossbar on its long beam, mirror-symmetrical to the right and to the left. An additional increase in the security of the position fixing of the stick end tip can be achieved with final snap-in recesses on the crossbar of the wrongly T-shaped one Achieve leadership recess according to the preferred alternative embodiment

One advantage of having a separate guide set for the stick-tip guide piece and a manipulation guide chute spaced apart therefrom in the manner according to claim 15 is, inter alia, that their mutual positioning on

Stock or on the support can be arbitrary and can therefore be easily taken into account mechanical requirements and ease of manipulation

In the case of a personal union of pole tip guiding and its manipulation elements or organs with a guiding pin capable of receiving a load and such a guiding sleeve, an embodiment according to claim 16 is advantageous. As a precaution, the manipulation guiding recess can compensate for material monitoring of the cane tube part a reinforcement sleeve also arranged there may be provided with a recess which is approximately congruent with the supporting tip-guiding recess, as described in claim 17. High precision and stability of the guiding of the guiding part of the guiding tip.

Shift-turn mechanism can be achieved with an auxiliary sleeve according to claim 18

As far as the arrangement of a spring of the extension and extension mechanism of the new walking supports is concerned, an embodiment according to claim 19 is advantageous in terms of both production and repair

In line with today's trend towards multi-functionality, one is

Division of the support crutch or the like according to the invention into a handle and arm part and a load-bearing or support part according to Claim 20 is often particularly advantageous, both in terms of availability and strength, is a tubular-cylindrical design of the hollow cane part

Preferred materials for the new walking supports or their supporting parts in particular are mentioned in claim 21

Of course, it is possible and particularly advantageous to have at least two parts or multi-part, discreetly or continuously adjustable in length, telescope-shaped sticks to be equipped with the stick tip retraction and extension mechanism according to the invention. Such telescopic sticks are found not only on a large scale as medical and rehabilitation sticks, but especially for tourism in the broadest sense, in particular to relieve the support and walking apparatus, the joints of the legs, preferably the knee joints, use, with the lower end of the floor then individually according to these soil conditions, such as glacier ice, rock and e.g. the floor of an accommodation, are adjustable

As far as the stick end tips are concerned, they can be made in one piece with the guide piece, they can be soldered, glued, poured, clamped, shrunk, pressed or screwed into the same.You can have any geometric shape that is tailored to a specific or general purpose , from a simple tapered shape to a concave shape with a crater rim-like, peripheral ring edge, range. A crown shape is particularly preferred, for example in the type of contour of drill bits. The material of the end tips is preferably either hardened steel or sintered hard metal material, such as eg the material "Widia"

As far as the end stubble of the new walking support or its design, which can be made of any suitable or customary material, it is particularly preferred to equip it with a support disk or the like for support load distribution and force application according to A n s r u c h 22

In order to achieve an even better load and / or force distribution or introduction into the end stubble, this support ring disc can have its own extension. The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing

Fig. 10 shows a schematic section through a preferred end-stubble embodiment of a walking support according to the invention and Fig. 11 shows another embodiment of the same. The schematic sketch of Fig. 1 shows very generally one with a lower support or. Attachment part 55 and a crutch stick 5 formed by an upper arm support and grip part 56 connected to it by a connecting element 556 (not shown in more detail), it being advantageous if at least the lower part 55 is designed as a tubular hollow part 500. The upper part 56 carries the support handle 561 and the upper arm support 562, both of which, for. B. are made of plastic. An end stub 8 is arranged distally or at the end on the crutch stick shown.

It should be emphasized here that the invention is by no means limited to this type of divided crutch sticks, rather it concerns equally divided or undivided real crutches with strut brace and support handle, commonly designed walking sticks and sick sticks and also also hiking sticks. and mountain sticks, each with a corresponding handle. The new walking support 5 can be hollow on the inside or only partially, whereby it is essential that its cavity is located at least in the distal area facing or near the cane.

2 and 3 show only the distal region of the support part 55 of a walking support 5, that is to say the hollow walking support part 500, the end region of which is surrounded by an end stub 8 drawn onto it with its central recess 80.

At the lower end, a hollow cylindrical auxiliary guide sleeve 25 is arranged in the cavity 50 of the hollow part 500. You can be material-bonded to the inner wall of the tube or z. B. be held there by worm screw. In the central cavity 250 of the auxiliary guide sleeve 25, axially displaceable and rotatable about the main axis a, there is a bearing tip guide piece 30 capable of receiving a load, which has a piston-like reinforced region 300 on the handle side, which in turn ^"is also longitudinally slidable and slidable is rotatably arranged or mounted in a guide sleeve 20 which is arranged further upward in the cavity 200 and is connected to the wall of the hollow part 500, for example by means of a worm screw, for example by means of a worm screw.

This guide sleeve 20 here has an inverted L-shaped, link-like guide recess 21 with an L longitudinal baffle 210 aligned parallel to the main axis a, an L-crossbeam 211, which is essentially perpendicular to it, here relatively short, and one short in the direction of the stick end extending upward extending recess 212. A projection 31 formed by a guide pin 315 projects into this L-link recess 21, which here acts as the guide recess 21 and a correspondingly congruent recess 521 of the support Hollow part 500 protruding threaded shaft of a screw with an outside screw head designed as manipulation handle button 313 is designed

By means of a spiral spring 39 which is supported on the projection of the upper thickened, piston-like part 300 of the stick tip guide piece 30 and on the upper end face of the auxiliary guide sleeve 25 on the other hand, the guide piece 30 is subjected to permanent spring force in the direction away from the tip of the stick, both in the retracting E as well as in the extended position A of the guide piece 30 or its end tip 3, which may be attached to it in a material-uniform manner

By means of the clamping pin 505 passing through the cavity 50 of the hollow part 500, the displacement path of the guide piece 30 is limited upwards, that is to say to the handle side of the walking support 5 hm

It is important in the new type of entry and exit mechanism shown that the guide cowl 21 for the guide pin 315 or a corresponding guide projection 31 enables a highly secure locking of the stick-tip guide due to its L- or wrong L-shape it is essential that this link 21 is arranged in a support-load-bearing sleeve 20 in the interior of the stick, so that the L-opening 521 in the wall of the socket hollow part 500 has to absorb practically no support load, which is particularly demanding of the mechanical strength of the entire walking support In the variant of the new walking support 5 according to FIGS. 4 and 5 shown in the two end positions E and A of the tip 3 of the stick, a hollow connecting piece 500 with a cavity 50 is also provided on the base-mounting side, with the meanings of the reference symbols remaining otherwise

There, however, the guide-load-receiving guide sleeve 20, preferably made of metal, closes the hollow part 500 distally with an inner hollow (200). It also has a link-like, inverted L-shaped guide recess 21 with a snap-in recess 212 at the end from its L-crossbar 211 protrudes into this recess 21 the guide projection 31, which is also capable of receiving loads, which is formed, for example, by the end of a pin arranged transversely to the axis of the round rod-like guide piece 30, which has a uniform diameter here, with the screwed stick end tip 3

The guide projection 31 is so short, however, that it only protrudes to the outer contour of the sleeve 20 into the link-like L-shaped recess 21 from the outside

Projection 31 is not visible because it and the recess 21 through the opening there

Wall of the crutch part 500 detachably connected to the sleeve 20 by means of worm screw 201 is encased

At the distal end, the guide sleeve 20 has a ring-like extension 206, which is also capable of receiving a load, with its here integral integral extension 206, on which the open end of the hollow hollow part 500 is supported The guide piece 30 can be uniform in a first embodiment, as can be seen from the "undisturbed" Fig. 5.

At a distance b from the guide projection 31, it carries a manipulation projection 351, which here has an L-shaped manipulation recess 251, which is dimensioned analogously to the lower L-shaped recess 21, of a guide and at the same time reinforcement sleeve 25 inserted therein in the hollow part 500, and a corresponding, here congruent recess 521 of the wall of the hollow hollow part 500 passes through and has a handling button 353 on the outside.

In this type of construction, the support load is received and distributed with the aid of the lower sleeve 20 and its sliding rotary guide recess 21, which is hidden from view, for the guide projection 31 of the guide piece 30 capable of supporting the load. The upper manipulation guide 251, which is closer to the handle need only be so firm that it can withstand the force of the spring 39 or is able to overcome it. From Fig. 4 - indicated by dash-dotted lines - it can be seen how the support load-absorbing guide piece 30, possibly via joints 3250 shown here by means of guide and control rod 325, is connected to a separate manipulation guide piece 35 which is connected in an auxiliary Guide sleeve 25 is slidably and rotatably mounted. Both manipulation guide piece 35 and auxiliary guide sleeve 25 can be dimensioned differently, they can also be made of a less mechanically strong material, such as. B. made of plastic, since they are only used for manipulation and only the force of the compression spring 39 for the guide piece must be able to overcome and it does not have a large vertical load-receiving function. This auxiliary guide sleeve 25 is advantageous, inter alia. however, also because in any case it forms a mechanical reinforcement for the hollow tube 500 in the area where it is weakened due to its L-opening 521.

6 with analog reference symbolism merely shows the shapes of a “right-handed” and a “left-handed” manipulation recess 251, 521 of an auxiliary guide sleeve or hollow wall part of the wall, not shown, each of which is analogous to the guide recess is designed, dimensioned and aligned with a support load-bearing guide sleeve.

7 shows a (manipulation) guide recess 251, 521, 21 in a T-shape, which can be easily operated by both left-handers and right-handers and, analogously to the L-recess already explained, an axially parallel T longitudinal bar 210, has a T-cross beam 211 extending on both sides and at its ends snap-in recesses 212. A pin 315 with manipulation button 313 is also indicated.

8 shows a possible arrangement of the guide Projection 31 of the guide piece 30, which is formed here as a protruding end of a screw shaft, which projects into the guide recess 21 of the guide sleeve 20, which is covered by the wall of the hollow cane part 500 and is capable of receiving loads and can be guided along the recess 21 9 shows an otherwise completely analogous reference sign meaning

Guide sleeve 20 with two diametrically opposed, centrally symmetrically arranged L-guide recesses 21, along and in which the two pin ends 31, which separate the guide piece 30 shown here, can be guided

10 shows a section through the end of the cane end with the end of the hollow part 500 with all-round end collar 206 and distal extension 207, which is supported on the support plate 82 in the correspondingly enlarged central bore 80 of the end stubble, with the omission of the displacement mechanism this ensemble is centered by the pole tip guide piece 30 with its tip 3. FIG. 11 shows a slightly different pole end area

Support disc 82 of the stop ice 8 has a hollow cylindrical extension 83 which extends vicinally to the handle side, on the upper end face of which the collar 206 of the guide sleeve 20 is supported downward, while the hollow part 500 of the walking support 5 is supported on the projection of the collar 206
