Senkrecht abstellbare Gehetutze in Ein-Punkt-Gebrauchs« form als mechanische Gehhilfe mit Unterarmanlage.Vertically adjustable walking aid in one-point use form as a mechanical walking aid with forearm support.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gehetutz&bgr; nach den Oberbe» griff dem Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a hunting device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Unterarmgehstützen dienen als mechanische Gehhilfen Tor allem bei Erkrankungen der Genfunktion z.B. durch Bruch· oder Lähmungen« Sie werden meist in Ein-Punkt-A<^2führung verwendet, d.h., deua unter· Ende liegt der Gehflache Bit nur einer geometrisch zusammenhängenden Fläche auf. Dies hat den Vorteil einer guten ManLvxierbarkeit. Nur bei be» sonders schwerer Gehstörung wird eine Drei-Punkt-Gehstütz· verwendet, die mit drei geometrisch voneinander getrennten Flächen der Gehflache aufliegt. Die Manövrierbarkelt der Drei-Punkt-Gehstütze ist wesentlich schwerfälliger als bei der Ein-Punkt-Gehstütze.Forearm crutches are used as mechanical walking aids, especially in cases of disorders of the limb function, e.g. due to fractures or paralysis. They are usually used in a one-point configuration, ie the walking surface rests on only one geometrically connected surface at the bottom. This has the advantage of good maneuverability. Only in cases of particularly severe walking difficulties is a three-point crutch used, which rests on three geometrically separate surfaces of the walking surface. The maneuverability of the three-point crutch is considerably more cumbersome than with the one-point crutch.

Nicht bekannt sind Gehstützen, die wahlweise alt eines· und mit mehreren Auflagepunkten benutzt werden können· Deshalb müssen die meist verwendeten Sin-Punkt-GehstUtzen bei Nichtgebrauch waagerecht auf den Boden gelegt oder schräg an einen Gegenstand angelehnt werden, wo sie oft abgleiten und dann doch auf dem Boden liegen. Der oder die Sehbehinderte muß sie von dort wieder aufheben, was wegen der bestehenden Bewegung»einsehränkung meist sehr mühsam und auch schmerzhaft ist. Nicht selten kommt es zu weiteren Verletzungen durch Stürze oder zu Kreislaufstörungen der oft alten Menschen, die erhebliche Folgekosten verursachen·Crutches that can be used with either one or several support points are not known. Therefore, the most commonly used single-point crutches must be placed horizontally on the floor when not in use or leaned against an object at an angle, where they often slip and end up on the floor. The visually impaired person has to pick them up again from there, which is usually very difficult and painful due to the existing mobility restriction. It is not uncommon for further injuries to occur due to falls or circulatory problems in the often elderly, which cause considerable subsequent costs.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die meist zweck« mäßige Ein-Punkt-Gehstütze senkrecht zur Gehfläch· absteil* bar zu machen, sodaß sie ohne Bücken weiter benutzt werden kann.The invention is based on the object of making the usually practical one-point crutch vertically adjustable to the walking surface so that it can continue to be used without bending over.
