  • the guide device 65 has two threaded bores 127 in which those already described Set screws with ball studs can be screwed in. Through the ball studs in the spring pins, the run in the recesses 115, can be snapped into place, it is possible to use the rocker switch in two functional positions to latch.
  • the control surface takes 109 each an acute angle to the longitudinal direction the supports 13, 15 of the walking aid 1. Accordingly, the respective chamfers 111, 113 of the actuating rocker 105 depending on the functional position the upper contact areas 81, 81 'of the rods 67, 67' or against the lower investment areas 83, 83 'pressed. This causes the rods 67, 67 'with the recesses 79, 79' and 79 '', 79 '' 'can be brought into system contact and thus in the swung-out or folded-up state be locked.
  • the guiding device shows how to ensure an envelope 65 'recesses 129 and ramps 131 on.
  • the recesses 129 are cylindrical section here Cutouts. It would also be conceivable provide blind holes for this.
  • the depth of the recesses 79 increases, 79 ', 79' ', 79' '', what this to the center of the guide device 65 'extended so that the pivoting movement the rods 67, 67 'around the bearing pin 71' is not hindered.
  • Figure 20 shows a front view of the guide device 65 '.
  • the same parts have the same reference numbers provided so that in this respect to the description of the previous figures becomes.
  • the bores 99, 99 'of the guide device 65 ', the corresponding connecting element 85 record that the holding counterpart 73 and also the Recess 125 from two sides against the top Support 13 of walking aid 1 presses. So is a safe one Fixing the swivel mechanism to the walking aid 1 guaranteed.
  • Figure 21 shows the front view of another Embodiment of a guide device 65 ''.

  • On the fold or thickening opposite side of the metal strip this has a bore into which the connecting element 85 can be introduced. So can on that Holding counterpart 73 can be dispensed with.
  • the metal strip is placed around the upper support 13 and by means of the connecting element 85, which in the Threaded bore 99 is introduced on the upper Support 13 braced so that the swivel mechanism 61 'is securely fixed to the walking aid 1.
  • FIGS 22 to 24 show different views part of a cranked rod 67 '' one Swivel mechanism 61 ''.

  • the flattening 135 forms at an upper end 137 of the cranked Rod 67 '' two substantially parallel to each other standing surfaces, which in turn essentially are perpendicular to the initial swivel axis.
  • the initial pivot axis means the Swivel axis around which the cranked rod 67 '' when pivoting from the folded state of the Legs 3, 3 'in the folded state initially pivoted. If the legs 3, 3 'are in this initial swivel range, are those formed by the flattening 135 on both sides Surfaces substantially perpendicular to that Bearing pin 71, 71 'aligned.
  • Figure 25 shows a perspective on a different scale
  • a guide device 65 '' is also part of the swivel mechanism 61 ''. Same Parts are provided with the same reference symbols, so that in that respect to the description of the previous one Figures is referenced. Because the swivel mechanism 61 '' is essentially symmetrical, the functionality is only based on one page, the cooperates with the cranked rod 67 '' explained.
  • the contact surfaces 139 can be completely or partially extend over the recess 79. So it is possible, the previously described principle of action of Recess 79 with the additional anti-rotation device, through the contact surfaces 139 and the bilateral Flattening 135 is realized with each other to combine.
  • the contact surfaces 139 of the recess 79 of the guide device 65 '' are essentially vertical to the initial swivel axis and to the bearing pin 71.
  • the principle of a bilateral Flattening of the cranked rod 67 '' and corresponding contact surfaces of the guide device 65 '' can also be opened when the Legs 3, 3 'are applied. This would have to the lower contact area 83 of the cranked rod 67 'the bilateral flat 135 and the recess 79 ''' 'of the guide device 65' 'the contact surfaces 139 have.
  • the Recess 79 have only one contact surface 139.

So it is also conceivable with a two-part walking aid more than one Mainstay or with a one-piece To provide walking aid more than two pillars. If uses the walking aid for severe walking disabilities it is possible to use one or more Stand legs so stable that the stand legs the user in the issued state stabilize.
  • the pillars allow here not just a safe parking of the walking aid, but also user support during the use of the walking aid.
  • In the unexhibited Condition is a one-legged walking aid before, as used for mild walking difficulties becomes. It is essential that the mainstay can be brought into two functional positions, the one functional position for turning off the Walking aid and / or for use as multi-legged walking aid serves and the other functional position secure storage of the legs for use the walking aid enables.
  • the pillars are conceivable to exhibit in any way like for example through a plug connection, through a Swivel bearing or by any display device. There is also the option of Swivel mechanism just a rolling element or any To provide number of
