Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gehhilfe-Anordnung (1) umfassend zwei Gehhilfen (2, 3), jeweils umfassend einen stabförmigen Stützkörper (4) mit einer Längserstreckung (5) und zwei gegenüberliegenden Endabschnitten (6, 7). An einem ersten Endabschnitt (6) ist ein Griffelement (8) mit einer quer zur Längserstreckung (5) des Stützkörpers (4) verlaufenden Quererstreckung (9) und an einem zweiten Endabschnitt (7) ein Bodenauflageelement (10) angeordnet. Damit die Gehhilfe-Anordnung (1) bei Bedarf selbstständig stehen kann, wird vorgeschlagen, dass an dem ersten Endabschnitt (6) einer ersten Gehhilfe (2) Befestigungsmittel (12) zum lösbaren Befestigen des zweiten Endabschnitts (7) einer zweiten Gehhilfe (3) angeordnet sind, und dass an dem zweiten Endabschnitt (7) der ersten Gehhilfe (2) Befestigungsmittel (15) zum lösbaren Befestigen des ersten Endabschnitts (6) der zweiten Gehhilfe (3) angeordnet sind, so dass nach einem auf den Kopf stellen einer der Gehhilfen (2; 3) und einem lösbaren Befestigen der ersten Gehhilfe (2) an der anderen Gehhilfe (3) durch das Griffelement (8) der gedrehten Gehhilfe (2; 3) und das Bodenauflageelement (10) der anderen Gehhilfe (3; 2) mindestens drei Auflagepunkte (17, 18) zur Verfügung stehen, über welche die Gehhilfe-Anordnung (1) auf dem Boden steht.

The invention relates to a walking aid arrangement (1) comprising two walking aids (2, 3), each comprising a rod-shaped supporting body (4) with a longitudinal extent (5) and two opposite end portions (6, 7). At a first end portion (6) there is arranged a grip element (8) with a transverse extension (9) extending transversely to the longitudinal extent (5) of the support body (4) and a bottom support element (10) at a second end portion (7). So that the walking aid arrangement (1) can stand on its own when required, it is proposed that fastening means (12) for releasably securing the second end section (7) of a second walking aid (3) be attached to the first end section (6) of a first walking aid (2). are arranged, and that at the second end portion (7) of the first walker (2) fastening means (15) for releasably securing the first end portion (6) of the second walker (3) are arranged so that after an upside down one of Walking aids (2; 3) and releasably securing the first walker (2) to the other walker (3) by the handle element (8) of the rotated walker (2; 3) and the floor support element (10) of the other walker (3; ) at least three support points (17, 18) are available over which the walking aid arrangement (1) is on the ground.
