Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Haltevorrichtung zur paarweisen Befestigung von Gehhilfen, insbesondere von Krücken.The invention relates to a holding device for pairwise attachment of walking aids, in particular crutches.
Unfallbedingt werden oftmals über einen begrenzten Zeitraum Gehhilfen in Form von Krücken eingesetzt, für die jedoch im gewohnten Umfeld keinerlei Befestigungsmöglichkeiten zur sicheren Ablage bestehen. Es wird daher als störend empfunden, dass das Abstellen von Gehhilfen häufig mühsam ist, da diese auf die Seite rutschen können und anschließend umfallen. Dieses Problem ist schon seit langem bekannt und es werden zahlreiche Lösungsmöglichkeiten angeboten.Accidentally, walkers in the form of crutches are often used for a limited period of time, but for the usual environment there are no mounting options for safe storage. It is therefore considered annoying that the parking of walking aids is often troublesome because they can slip on the page and then fall over. This problem has long been known and numerous solutions are offered.

Derartige Hilfsvorrichtungen weisen jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass diese bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch der Gehhilfe keine Verwendung finden und daher zum Abstellen von Gehhilfen nicht zwingend zur Verfügung stehen.However, such auxiliary devices have the disadvantage that they do not find use under normal use of the walker and therefore are not necessarily available for stopping walking aids.
Aus der
Zwar benötigt eine derartige Gehhilfe keine zusätzliche Fixiervorrichtung, die Anordnung mit der Griffseite nach unten ist jedoch nicht in allen Anwendungsfällen möglich.Although such a walker requires no additional fixing device, the arrangement with the handle side down is not possible in all applications.
Desweiteren ist es bereits bekannt, insbesondere Krücken paarweise zu fixieren, so dass diese ohne Umzufallen beispielsweise an eine Wand gelehnt werden können.Furthermore, it is already known, in particular to fix crutches in pairs, so that they can be leaned without falling, for example, against a wall.

Derartige Fixierungen sind jedoch häufig beim bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch der Gehhilfe störend oder müssen als separate Bauteile mitgeführt werden.However, such fixations are often disturbing in the intended use of the walker or must be carried as separate components.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik hat sich der Erfinder nun die Aufgabe gestellt, eine paarweise Befestigung für Gehhilfen zu schaffen, die sowohl eine stabile Halterung beim Abstellen der Gehhilfen als auch ein komfortables Mitführen ermöglichen.Based on this prior art, the inventor has now taken on the task of creating a pair of attachment for walking aids that allow both a stable support when parking the walking aids as well as a comfortable ride.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind jeweils Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. Diese können in technologisch sinnvoller Weise miteinander kombiniert werden. Die Beschreibung, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung, charakterisiert und spezifiziert die Erfindung zusätzlich.This object is solved by the features of
Gemäß der Erfindung wird eine Haltevorrichtung zur paarweisen Befestigung von Gehhilfen, insbesondere Krücken, angegeben, die eine erste Halteklemme und eine zweite Halteklemme aufweist, die jeweils zur Aufnahme einer Gehhilfe ausgeführt sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die erste Halteklemme und die zweite Halteklemme auf einem Verbindungselement mittels einer gegensinnigen Drehbewegung von einer ersten Position in eine zweite Position überführbar sind, wobei die erste Halteklemme und die zweite Halteklemme in der ersten Position jeweils parallel entlang von Längsachsen der Gehhilfen und in der zweiten Position entlang einer Längsachse einer Gehhilfe angeordnet sind.According to the invention, a holding device for pairwise attachment of walking aids, in particular crutches, specified, which has a first holding clamp and a second holding clamp, which are each designed to receive a walker, characterized in that the first holding clamp and the second holding clamp on a connecting element be transferred from a first position to a second position by means of an opposite rotational movement, wherein the first holding clamp and the second holding clamp are arranged in the first position respectively parallel along longitudinal axes of the walking aids and in the second position along a longitudinal axis of a walker.
Demnach kann die erfindungsgemäße Haltevorrichtung so betrieben werden, dass die beiden Halteklemmen in zwei unterschiedlichen Positionen angeordnet sind, wobei durch eine gegensinnige Drehbewegung ein Überführen von der ersten in die zweite Position stattfinden kann. In der ersten Position nimmt jede Halteklemme jeweils eine Gehhilfe auf, so dass diese parallel zueinander entlang ihrer Längsachse angeordnet sind. Die beiden Gehhilfen können somit beispielsweise an eine Wand gelehnt werden, so dass diese in einer stabilen Position abgelegt werden können. In der zweiten Position werden die Halteklemmen durch eine Drehbewegung so verändert, dass diese nun entlang lediglich einer Gehhilfe entlang deren Längsachse angeordnet sind. Die Haltevorrichtung kann dann an die eine Gehhilfe angeklemmt sein, so dass die Gehhilfen bestimmungsgemäß verwendet werden können. Durch Überführen von der ersten Position in die zweite Position und wieder zurück ist somit eine einfache aber dennoch zuverlässige Möglichkeit zur paarweisen Befestigung von Gehhilfen geschaffen worden, wobei die Benutzung der Gehhilfe zum bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch nicht eingeschränkt ist. Durch die Befestigung an einer Gehhilfe kann darüber hinaus vermieden werden, ein separates Bauteil mitführen zu müssen. Somit wird ein erhöhter Benutzerkomfort geschaffen, wobei darüber hinaus das nachteilhafte Umfallen von Gehhilfen vermieden werden kann.Accordingly, the holding device according to the invention can be operated so that the two holding clamps are arranged in two different positions, which can take place by an opposite rotational movement, a transfer from the first to the second position. In the first position, each holding clamp takes on a walker, so that they are arranged parallel to each other along its longitudinal axis. The two walkers can thus be leaned against a wall, for example, so that they can be stored in a stable position. In the second position, the holding clamps are changed by a rotational movement so that they are now arranged along only one walking aid along its longitudinal axis. The holding device can then be clamped to the one walker, so that the walking aids can be used as intended. By convicting from the first position to the second position and back again thus a simple but reliable way for pairwise attachment of walking aids has been created, the use of the walker for the intended use is not limited. By attaching to a walker can also be avoided to have to carry a separate component. Thus, an increased user comfort is created, moreover, the disadvantageous falling over of walking aids can be avoided.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Verbindungselement mit zwei Anschlägen versehen, die jeweils der ersten Halteklemme und der zweiten Halteklemme zugeordnet sind.According to one embodiment of the invention, the connecting element is provided with two stops which are respectively associated with the first holding clamp and the second holding clamp.
Die Anschläge können die Halteklemmen bezüglich der ersten Position und bezüglich der zweiten Position festlegen, wobei dies auf einfache Weise dadurch geschieht, dass die Halteklemmen mit einem rechteckförmigen Querschnitt ausgestattet sind, so dass sie nach dem Überführen mittels der gegensinnigen Drehbewegungen an einer Außenfläche an dem ihnen zugeordneten Anschlag zu liegen kommen.The stops can fix the holding clamps with respect to the first position and with respect to the second position, this being done simply by providing the holding clamps with a rectangular cross-section so that, after being transferred by means of the counter-rotational movements on an outer surface, they are at their ends assigned stop come to rest.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die Anschläge als längliche Vorsprünge an einer Außenkante des Verbindungselements angeordnet.According to a further embodiment, the stops are arranged as elongated projections on an outer edge of the connecting element.
Eine derartige Vorgehensweise ermöglicht eine einfache Ausgestaltung der Anschläge, wobei durch die Position der Anschläge für einen Benutzer sofort erkennbar ist, in welche Richtung die jeweilige Halteklemme gedreht werden muss, um diese von der einen Position in die andere Position zu überführen. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die länglichen Vorsprünge einander zuweisend im Bereich zwischen Drehachsen zur gegensinnigen Drehbewegung der ersten Halteklemme und der zweiten Halteklemme angeordnet.Such a procedure allows a simple design of the attacks, wherein the position of the stops for a user immediately recognizable in which direction the respective holding clamp has to be rotated in order to transfer them from one position to the other position. According to a further embodiment, the elongate projections are arranged facing each other in the region between axes of rotation for the opposite rotational movement of the first holding clamp and the second holding clamp.
Die länglichen Vorsprünge im Bereich zwischen den Drehachsen der Halteklemmen anzuordnen ermöglicht einen kompakten Aufbau der Haltevorrichtung. Da an dieser Stelle keine Einschränkungen bezüglich der räumlichen Ausgestaltung der länglichen Vorsprünge besteht, können diese bezüglich ihrer Abmessungen so gewählt werden, dass genügend mechanische Stabilität beim Festlegen der Halteklemmen vorliegt.To arrange the elongated projections in the region between the axes of rotation of the holding clamps allows a compact construction of the holding device. Since there are no restrictions with respect to the spatial configuration of the elongated projections at this point, they can be chosen with respect to their dimensions so that there is sufficient mechanical stability when fixing the retaining clips.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung weisen die erste und die zweite Halteklemme sowie das Verbindungselement korrespondierende Rastmittel auf, die ein Einrasten in der ersten Position oder in der zweiten Position festlegen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the first and the second holding clamp and the connecting element have corresponding latching means which fix a latching in the first position or in the second position.
Da die Überführung von der ersten Position in die zweite Position um einen Winkel von 90° erfolgen muss, werden bei der Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Haltevorrichtung keine Zwischenwerte bei der gegensinnigen Drehbewegung eingestellt. Beispielsweise mittels erhabener Strukturelemente auf dem Verbindungselement sowie entsprechenden korrespondierenden Einsenkungen können Rastmittel geschaffen werden, die ein Einrasten der Halteklemmen jeweils in der ersten Position oder der zweiten Position bewirken. Aufgrund der Rastmittel wird sichergestellt, dass ein Benutzer oder eine Benutzerin die Halteklemmen nur in den tatsächlich zu verwendenden Positionen einstellt.Since the transfer must take place from the first position to the second position by an angle of 90 °, when using the holding device according to the invention no intermediate values are set in the opposite direction of rotation. For example, by means of raised structural elements on the connecting element and corresponding corresponding depressions latching means can be provided which cause a latching of the retaining clips respectively in the first position or the second position. Due to the locking means, it is ensured that a user adjusts the retaining clips only in the positions actually to be used.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die erste Halteklemme und die zweite Halteklemme diagonal verbunden, um die gegensinnige Drehbewegung gemeinsam auszuführen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the first holding clamp and the second holding clamp are connected diagonally to carry out the opposite rotational movement together.
Unter dem Begriff diagonal verbunden wird hier verstanden, dass auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Verbindungselements eine entsprechende Verbindung zwischen der ersten Halteklemme und der zweiten Halteklemme geschaffen wird. Somit kann beim Überführen einer Halteklemme beispielsweise von der ersten Position in die zweite Position gleichzeitig die andere Halteklemme mit bewegt werden, ohne dass eine Benutzerin oder ein Benutzer eine zweite Drehbewegung ausführen muss. Dies führt zu einer einfachen Bedienung der erfindungsgemäßen Haltevorrichtung.The term diagonally connected is understood here to mean that a corresponding connection between the first holding clamp and the second holding clamp is provided on opposite sides of the connecting element. Thus, when transferring a holding clamp, for example from the first position to the second position, the other holding clamp can be moved simultaneously, without a user having to carry out a second rotary movement. This leads to a simple operation of the holding device according to the invention.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die erste Halteklemme und/oder die zweite Halteklemme austauschbar oder mittels wechselbaren Einsätzen an unterschiedliche Dimensionen von Gehhilfen anpassbar.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the first holding clamp and / or the second holding clamp are replaceable or adaptable by means of interchangeable inserts to different dimensions of walking aids.
Demnach ist es möglich, die erfindungsgemäße Haltevorrichtung bei Gehhilfen beispielsweise unterschiedlicher Hersteller an die individuelle Dimensionierung anzupassen. Dies ermöglicht die häufige Verwendung der Haltevorrichtung auch bei einem Wechsel der Gehhilfen. In wiederum anderen Ausführungsformen könnte unter Austauschen der Halteklemmen bereits die nachträgliche Verbindung zwischen Verbindungselement und Halteklemmen verstanden werden, so dass nicht mehr eine komplette Haltevorrichtung hergestellt wird, sondern nach Auswählen zur Gehilfe passender Halteklemmen eine Verbindung mit dem Verbindungselement geschaffen wird.Accordingly, it is possible to adapt the holding device according to the invention in walking aids, for example, different manufacturers to the individual dimensions. This allows the frequent use of the holding device even with a change of walking aids. In yet other embodiments could be understood by replacing the retaining clamps already the subsequent connection between the connecting element and retaining clamps, so that no longer a complete holding device is made, but after selecting the mate suitable retaining clamps a connection with the connecting element is created.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Verbindungselement mit einem Griff oder einer Grifflasche auf der den Halteklemmen abgewandten Seite versehen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the connecting element is provided with a handle or a grip tab on the side facing away from the retaining clips.
Ein Griff oder eine Grifflasche erleichtert das Entfernen der Halteklemmen bzw. das Aufstecken der Halteklemmen auf eine Gehhilfe. Insbesondere in der zweiten Position, in der beide Halteklemmen auf eine Gehhilfe gesteckt sind, erweist sich dies als vorteilhaft.A handle or a gripping bottle facilitates the removal of the retaining clips or attaching the retaining clips on a walker. Especially in the second position, in which both retaining clamps are placed on a walking aid, this proves to be advantageous.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Verbindungselement biegbar, so dass in der zweiten Position eine der beiden Halteklemmen unter Beibehaltung der Fixierung der jeweils anderen Halteklemme abziehbar ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the connecting element is bendable, so that in the second position, one of the two retaining clips while retaining the fixation of the respective other retaining clip is removable.
Demnach kann zum Entfernen einer Halteklemme das Verbindungselement kurzzeitig gebogen werden, so dass eine der beiden Halteklemmen abgezogen werden kann, wobei nach Überführen in die erste Position aufgrund der federelastischen Ausgestaltung das Verbindungselement wieder in eine plane oder nahezu plane Form zurückschwingt. Somit muss beim Überführen von der zweiten Position in die erste Position lediglich eine Halteklemme entfernt werden, was die Benutzung deutlich vereinfacht.Accordingly, the connecting element can be bent for a short time to remove a retaining clip, so that one of the two retaining clips can be removed, wherein after transferring to the first position due to the resilient configuration, the connecting element swings back into a plane or nearly planar shape. Thus, when transferring from the second position to the first position, only one retaining clip needs to be removed, which greatly simplifies the use.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist eine der beiden Halteklemmen an der Gehhilfe fixierbar.According to a further embodiment of the invention, one of the two retaining clamps can be fixed to the walking aid.
Dies ist insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit dem soeben beschriebenen federelastisch biegbaren Verbindungselement vorteilhaft, da dort lediglich eine Halteklemme entfernt werden muss, so dass die andere Halteklemme permanent fixiert sein kann. In anderen Ausführungsformen kann die Fixierung auch in Form einer Verliersicherung ausgestaltet sein.This is particularly advantageous in connection with the resiliently bendable connecting element just described, since there only one retaining clip has to be removed, so that the other retaining clip can be permanently fixed. In other embodiments, the fixation can also be designed in the form of a captive safety device.

HK2 über einen Rohrabschnitt einer Gehhilfe zu führen. Die erste Halteklemme HK1 und die zweite Halteklemme HK2 sind dabei an gegenüberliegenden Enden eines Verbindungselements VE angeordnet, das beispielsweise als längliches flächenhaftes Element ausgebildet sein kann. Die beiden Halteklemmen HK1 und HK2 sowie das Verbindungselement VE können aus dem gleichen Material, vorzugsweise Kunststoff gefertigt sein.The first holding clamp HK1 and the second holding clamp HK2 can be identical, wherein preferably the material of the holding clamps HK1 and HK2 is selected so that a temporary widening of the receptacle AU is possible to the holding clamps HK1 and HK2 a pipe section of a To guide walker. The first retaining clip HK1 and the second retaining clip HK2 are arranged at opposite ends of a connecting element VE, which may be formed, for example, as an elongated planar element. The two retaining clips HK1 and HK2 and the connecting element VE can be made of the same material, preferably plastic.
An einer Außenkante weist das Verbindungselement VE im Bereich der Halteklemmen HK1 und HK2 jeweils einen Anschlag AN auf, der in Form eines länglichen Vorsprungs ausgeführt ist, dessen schmale Seite in Richtung der Halteklemmen HK1 und HK2 ausgerichtet ist. Wie

Um das Abziehen beispielsweise der zweiten Halteklemme HK2 zu vereinfachen, kann im Bereich des Verbindungselements VE ein Griff oder eine Grifflasche (nicht in den Figuren gezeigt) angebracht sein. Desweiteren wäre es denkbar, über eine diagonale Verbindung der beiden Halteklemmen HK1 und HK2 automatisch eine gegenläufige Drehbewegung bei Verstellung nur einer einzigen Halteklemme zu erreichen.In order to simplify the removal of, for example, the second holding clamp HK2, a handle or a gripping tab (not shown in the figures) may be provided in the region of the connecting element VE. Furthermore, it would be conceivable to automatically achieve an opposite rotational movement when adjusting only a single holding clamp via a diagonal connection of the two holding clamps HK1 and HK2.
Die vorstehend und die in den Ansprüchen angegebenen sowie die den Abbildungen entnehmbaren Merkmale sind sowohl einzeln als auch in verschiedener Kombination vorteilhaft realisierbar. Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt, sondern im Rahmen fachmännischen Könnens in mancherlei Weise abwandelbar.The features indicated above and in the claims, as well as the features which can be seen in the figures, can be implemented advantageously both individually and in various combinations. The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described, but can be modified in many ways within the scope of expert knowledge.
