Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stabbing of a blind safety cane used by a visually impaired person for walking.
  • a butt for a blind safety cane a butt made of a hard plastic lump at the end of a buttock made of light metal or fiber reinforced plastic is often used.
  • Blind and other visually impaired users are walking while checking safety by repeatedly hitting the left and right feet with the blind safety cane on the road where the left and right feet are to land. It is important to lift quickly and walk slowly after hitting quickly to avoid striking the road surface. The main reason is that both the heel and the stone butt are rigid, and the axial force of the heel enters the unevenness of the road surface.
  • a conventional stabbing of a blind safety cane has a ball bearing that rotates in the axial direction of the buttocks, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-290433.

  • the road surface is known continuously, there is an IJ point.
  • Conventional blind safety canes include an example of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-153127 in which a shaft and a stone butt are connected by a panel and wheels are combined. Such a blind safety cane has the advantage of softening the impact from the road surface and the advantage of a stable hitting of the stone.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a stone thruster that realizes a blind safety cane that is easy to use, and can walk quickly without getting tired, because it is difficult to hit the road surface.

  • FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the stone bump 3 according to the present invention.
  • Blind safety cane 1 is used at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to road surface G. Since each part has a symmetric configuration with respect to the central axis of the collar 2 having a pipe shape, the description of the symmetric part is omitted.
  • the flange 2 is fitted to the socket-type mounting member 4.

That is, the elastic member 5 is formed so as to be attached to the attachment member 4 and project around. The attachment 4 can be removed from the elastic member 5 by the stop 4b.
  • the elastic member 5 is made of a soft and light material such as sponge-like chloroprene rubber.
  • the outer surface of the elastic member 5 is fixed to the inner surface of the shell member 7 with an adhesive 8.
  • the shell member 7 is made of a light plastic, such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, which is less likely to wear and has less friction. Shoulder 7a hitting road surface G at an angle of 45 degrees is expected to decrease due to wear. Out.
  • the tip force of the shell member 7 The center 7c on the central axis, which is half the length of the outermost diameter, substantially coincides with the position of the mounting member 4 to which the elastic member 5 is attached. Precisely, the elastic member 5 is configured to coincide when it is displaced by being pushed. In the unlikely event that water enters the inside of the shell member 7, a drain hole 7b is provided at the tip.
  • FIG. 2 is an explanatory view for explaining the operation of the stone bump 3 according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 (a) shows a case where the component of the force F is applied in the direction within the plate surface of the elastic member 5, that is, in the direction orthogonal to the central axis of the flange 2. Since the force F is the compression direction of the plate, the elastic member 5 is not easily deformed. For this reason, the position of the stone bump 3 with respect to the heel part 2 is unlikely to change, so the direction to know does not become inaccurate.
  • FIG. 2 (b) shows a case where a component of force F is applied in the direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the elastic member 5, that is, in the bending direction of the plate.
  • a plate protruding around the elastic member 5 or the like is easily deformed by a bending force.
  • the elastic member 5 can be bent and deformed, and the force in the axial direction of the flange 2 connected to the thrust force can be reduced.
  • the force F is lost, there is also an effect that the operation of raising the blind safety cane 1 can be facilitated by the recoil when the deformation returns.
  • wear of the shell member 7 is reduced, and the life of the heel part 2 is also increased.
  • the interior since the interior is hollow, it can be configured lightly, so there is also an effect that it can be operated easily and quickly.
  • FIG. 2 (c) shows that when the shell member 7 is pushed by a stronger force in the direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the elastic member 5, for example, in the case of a moment, the user puts weight on the road surface G. The operation is shown. Since the elastic member 5 is greatly deformed and the stop portion 4b hits the shell member 7, the weight can be supported firmly.
  • FIG. 2 (d) shows a case where the shell member 7 protrudes from the protrusion P of the road surface G.
  • a force that twists and deforms the elastic member 5 is applied through the shell member 7 around the center 7c, that is, the constricted portion 4a of the mounting member 4.
  • a plate protruding around the elastic member 5 or the like is easily deformed by a twisting and rotating force. For this reason, the shell member 7 is temporarily rotated, and the portion of the outer surface of the shell member 7 that extends the shaft of the flange 2 moves to a position higher than the protrusion P. Can be diverted.
  • FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining how to hold the blind safety cane 9 with the stone bump 3 according to the present invention.
  • a grip part 10 made of rubber that is strong against sliding is provided at the upper end of the heel part 2.
  • the length of the heel part 2 is set so that it hits the road surface G at approximately 45 degrees when the user U holds it.
  • the heel part 2 is provided with another grip part 11 made of soft and sponge rubber at a position where the user U can reach the hand with the blind safety cane 9 standing. Holding the grip 11 makes it easy to use the blind safety cane 9 as an upright, so it can be used even in crowded places.

Furthermore, the function or mechanism of the stone thruster according to the present invention can be directly integrated with the blind safety cane. In the embodiment, the configuration is symmetric with respect to the central axis of the eaves portion. However, if the eaves portion can be held in a fixed direction, a member can be formed only on the side in contact with the road surface to reduce the weight.

Abstract

Le problème à résoudre dans le cadre de cette invention concerne la création d’une virole de canne pour aveugle. La virole réduit les risques d’accrochage avec la surface du sol, ce qui permet à la personne de manipuler facilement la canne et de marcher plus vite sans se fatiguer. La solution proposée consiste à créer une virole (3) qui comprend un élément de montage (4) fixé à une partie tige (2) de la canne (1) pour aveugle, un élément élastique en forme de disque (5) possédant une partie de formation d’orifice central (5a) fixée sur une partie en forme de sablier (4a) de l’élément de montage, et un élément enveloppe (7) fixé sur la surface externe de l’élément élastique (5) avec un agent adhésif (8). Le fait que l’élément enveloppe (7) puisse être déplacé et tourné dans tous les sens permet à la virole de ne pas accrocher la surface du sol.
