Abstract

1. ADDITION TO THE HANDLE OF CRUTCHES which allows the latter to be placed vertically, close by the user, in a balanced position and turned upside down, at the chosen spot. Without this addition, it is necessary to lean the crutches against a wall or a seat; but they often slip or get in the way. The invention (version A) is a plastic tube of 10 cm, cylinder (1). Slotted longitudinally, the latter forms a clip which is placed at the end of the handle of the crutch. The clip becomes a heel piece of 1.4 cm on which the crutch bears when turned upside down. Bevelled, it forms a third point of triangular support, so that the crutch remains balanced without any other support. Two recesses (3) and a shoulder (6) hold the clip fixed in its exact position. It does not get in the way at all and can remain permanently in place. 2. ADJUSTMENT B TO BE PROVIDED FOR NEW CRUTCHES: modify the shape of the half crown for an identical result. <IMAGE>

Description

Tout utilisateur de cannes anglaises,occasionnel ou pas,témoignerait du fait qu'il est particuliérement déplorable de ne pouvoir poser celles-ci, à la portée de la main,faute d'avoir un support qui les empêche de glisser et de tomber d'elles-mêmes.Any user of rods, occasional or not, would testify to the fact that it is particularly deplorable not being able to put them, within reach of the hand, for lack of a support which prevents them from slipping and falling from themselves.

Presque toujours,à l'hôpital,les malades récemment opérés et dont les premiers pas sont encore douloureux et incertains,n'ont d'autre possibilité que de placer les cannes en travers du lit,ou d'un siège,voire en appui d'un lavabo ou d'un radiateur de chauffage,lesquels ne sont pas forcément bien placée et à une hauteur convenable pour les empêcher de choir.Almost always, in the hospital, recently operated patients, whose first steps are still painful and uncertain, have no other option than to place the canes across the bed, or a seat, or even in support of '' a sink or a heating radiator, which are not necessarily well placed and at a suitable height to prevent them from falling.

Du fait de la forme des cannes et de la configuration du manche,il n'est pas possible d'utiliser la poignée ou le support d'avant-bras pour les suspendre:encore faudrait-il avoir prévu l'installation au mur de crochets çonvenablement placés.Due to the shape of the rods and the configuration of the handle, it is not possible to use the handle or the forearm support to suspend them: it would still be necessary to have the installation on the wall of hooks appropriately placed.

Il n'est pas davantage possible,à cause du poids du manche,de penser les maintenir droites,en équilibre contre un mur lisse,par exemple.(FIG: 1)It is no more possible, because of the weight of the handle, to think of keeping them straight, in balance against a smooth wall, for example. (FIG: 1)

La solution,pour qu'elles puissant tenir droites en équilibre,exige qu'on las tourna à l'envers.La canne repose alors sur 2 points: a et b, (FIG: 5),distants d'uns dizaine de cms,formés par les extrémités de la partie arrondie du repose avant-bras.Il suffisait alors de déterminer le point d'équilibre antéro-postérieur de la canne,et de concevoir à le bonne hauteur, le support arrière au point : c (FIG : 2),objet de l'invention.The solution, in order for them to be able to hold straight in balance, requires that they be turned upside down. The cane then rests on 2 points: a and b, (FIG: 5), spaced some ten cms apart, formed by the ends of the rounded part of the front arm rest. It was then enough to determine the anteroposterior balance point of the cane, and to design at the right height, the rear support at point: c (FIG: 2 ), subject of the invention.

Ce 3 ème point: c,se situe on prolongement de la nervure externe de renforcement du repose avant-bras,gràce à un débordement de 2,4 cm à l'arrière et 1,4 cm à l'intérieur.Les 3 POINTS forment alors un support de sustentation,en forme de triangle équilatéral (FIG : 2),de 10 cms de côté environ.This 3 rd point: c, is located on the extension of the external rib reinforcing the forearm rest, thanks to an overflow of 2.4 cm at the back and 1.4 cm inside. The 3 POINTS form then a support of levitation, in the shape of an equilateral triangle (FIG: 2), of 10 cms side approximately.

Pour assurer une meilleure assise,le point créé devait être conçu en forme de telon dont la section,taillée en biseau à cette extrémité,suivant l'angle le plué favorable,permettait le meilleur contact possible avec le sol,sur la totalité du biseau,c'est à dire,ici, sur une airs de 7 cm².To ensure a better seat, the point created should be designed in the form of a telon whose section, cut at a bevel at this end, at the most favorable angle, allowed the best possible contact with the ground, over the entire bevel, that is to say, here, on an air of 7 cm².

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEEDETAILED DESCRIPTION

  • * Le corps de la pince (FIG: 4) est un cylindre de plastique,mi-dur, mi-souple,de 0,05 cm d'épaisseur,de 2,2 cm de diamètre et de 10 cm de haut. Ce CYLINDRE (1) est fendu sur toute sa hauteur.On le place au dos de la partie renforcée du manche (FIG: 3).Il suffit, pour cela d'écarter la FENTE (2),et,avant de renverser la canne,de le ramener vers la haut en le laissant déborder de 1,4 cm au-dessus de la nervure supérieure de la demi-couronne qui,à l'extrémité du manche,sert d'appui d'avant-bras.La pince parvenue à la bonne position s'y fixe d'elle-même.En effet, à la hauteur de la nervure, DEUX EVIDEMENTS(3)de 1cm de long sur 0,5 cm de profondeur SONT CREUSES sur chaque bord de la fente longitudinale (2),de façon à recevoir ladite nervure et à maintenir la pince à sa place exacte.* The body of the clamp (FIG: 4) is a plastic cylinder, semi-hard, semi-flexible, 0.05 cm thick, 2.2 cm in diameter and 10 cm high. This CYLINDER (1) is split over its entire height. It is placed on the back of the reinforced part of the handle (FIG: 3). For this purpose, it is enough to spread the SLIT (2), and, before overturning the cane , bring it upwards, letting it extend 1.4 cm above the upper rib of the half-crown which, at the end of the handle, serves as a forearm support. in the right position it fixes itself. Indeed, at the height of the rib, TWO RECESSES (3) 1cm long by 0.5 cm deep ARE HOLLOW on each edge of the longitudinal slot ( 2), so as to receive said rib and to maintain the clamp in its exact place.
  • * Pour assurer l'appui convenable da la partie qui dépasse,le cylindre (1) qui mesure 10 cm ,à l'extérieur,et seulement 9 cm,côté fente,a été TAILLE en BISEAU (FIG: 3).* To ensure proper support for the protruding part, the cylinder (1) which measures 10 cm, on the outside, and only 9 cm, slit side, has been BEVEL-CUT (FIG: 3).
  • * Toute la partie qui dépasse et qui sert de TALON à la pince, est munie d'un BOUCHON CYLINDRIQUE (4),rigide et plein.Ca dernier est lui-même,taillé selon le biseau et collé à l'intérieur de la pince.La hauteur intérieure de ce talon mesure 1,4 cm.Le bord du bouchon (4),côté fente, affleure les deux évidements (3) qui enjambent la nervure supérieure, cités plus haut,(FIG: 2):il se trouve ainsi,EN APPUI (6) de quelques millimètres sur l'épaisseur de la demi-couronne.Cela renforce la mise en place de la pince,l'empêchant de glisser vers le bas.* The entire protruding part which serves as HEEL for the clamp, is provided with a CYLINDRICAL PLUG (4), rigid and full. The latter is itself, cut according to the bevel and glued inside the clamp .The inner height of this heel measures 1.4 cm. The edge of the plug (4), slit side, is flush with the two recesses (3) which span the upper rib, mentioned above, (FIG: 2): it is located thus, SUPPORT (6) a few millimeters on the thickness of the half-crown. This reinforces the positioning of the clamp, preventing it from sliding down.
  • * Le TALON-EMBOUT est d'un diamètre légèrement supérieur à celui du cylindre (1):il mesure 2,8 cm au lieu de 2,2 cm ce qui donne à l'ensemble une forme plus élégante.L'embout n'étant pas complètement recouvert sur la fente (2),une DECOUPE (5) d'épaisseur 0,05 cm remplit le vide.Cette découpe est collée et pourrait être,elle-même recouverte d'une bague de renforcement du talon,à l'extérieur de la pince.* The TALON-CAP is slightly larger than the diameter of the cylinder (1): it measures 2.8 cm instead of 2.2 cm which gives the whole a more elegant shape. not being completely covered on the slit (2), a CUT (5) of thickness 0.05 cm fills the void.This cut is glued and could be, itself covered with a reinforcement ring of the heel, at the outside of the clamp.
  • * La pince se place sans aucune difficulté et il n'est pas nécessaire de l'enlever car elle ne fait ,en aucun point,saillie à l'intérieur de la demi-couronne;elle ne gêne donc,en rien l'utilisation des cannes.* The pliers can be placed without any difficulty and it is not necessary to remove it because it does not, at any point, protrude inside the half-crown; it therefore does not hinder the use of canes.
  • * Version: B
       Pour un résultat identique à celui obtenu gràce à la pince,il serait sans doute préférable de prévoir,A LA FABRICATION DES CANNES,UNE MODIFICATION DE LA FORME de l'extrémité de la demi-couronne, par un RAJOUT de plastique ou de métal en forme de CROISSANT (7) sur la tranche duquel reposerait la canne an équilibre.La FIG:5 montre le RAJOUT à prévoir et sa place pour la modification de forme de la demi-couronne.    * V ersion: B
    For a result identical to that obtained thanks to the pliers, it would undoubtedly be preferable to envisage, AT THE MANUFACTURE OF THE RODS, A MODIFICATION OF THE SHAPE of the end of the half-crown, by a REJOUT of plastic or metal in form of CROISSANT (7) on the edge of which the balancing rod would rest. FIG: 5 shows the ADJUSTMENT to be provided and its place for the modification of the shape of the half-crown.
