Abstract
Description
La presente invention concerne des cannes orthopédiques aménagées de façon à permettre à un handicapé de les solidariser entre elles. The present invention relates to orthopedic canes arranged to allow a disabled to join them together.
Le secteur technique auquel se rattache l'invention est celui des objets d'usage personnel dans le secteur médical et plus particulièrement celui des cannes orthopediques destinées aux personnes souffrant d'un handicap de la marche. The technical sector to which the invention relates is that of personal use objects in the medical sector and more particularly that of orthopedic canes for persons with a disability of walking.
I1 existe actuellement differents types de cannes dans le domaine médical, à titre d'exemple nous pouvons citer: Canne en"T" dite "Maginaux", Canne dite "Mailloche" , canne à poignée dite "Anatomique", Canne dite "Anglaise". There are currently different types of rods in the medical field, for example we can cite: "T" rod called "Maginaux", "Mailloche" rod, "Anatomique" handle rod, "English" rod .
Elles ont comme particularités communes une partie tubulaire dont la première extrémité est destinée à prendre appui au sol et la deuxieme sert, directement ou non au soutien de l'handicapé. Une poignée de prehension est montée sur le corps tubulaire à une hauteur variable selon le type de canne utilisé. They have as a common feature a tubular part whose first end is intended to support the ground and the second serves, directly or not to support the disabled. A handle is mounted on the tubular body at a variable height depending on the type of rod used.
Si les cannes pour un utilisateur nécessitant un appui bilatéral, offrent actuellement des qualités de soutien satisfaisantes il n'en est pas de même de leur encombrement pour réaliser des actes toujours nécessaires de la vie courante. En effet l'utilisateur de cannes au même titre que n importe quel individu doit pouvoir à tout moment et quelquesoit l'endroit se libérer une ou les mains sans risquer de les faire choir. If the rods for a user requiring bilateral support, currently offer satisfactory support qualities it is not the same for their size to perform actions still necessary in everyday life. Indeed the user cannes in the same way that any individual must be able at any time and someoit the place to release one or the hands without risking them to fall.
Car les cannes de par leur configuration actuelle ne peuvent rester en équilibre.Because the canes by their current configuration can not remain in balance.
Toutes les inventions proposées à ce jour pour remédier à ces difficultés ont apporté des réponses peu efficaces et incomplètes (voir Brevets français n 2.290.886 et 2.655.263)
Le but poursuivit dans cette invention est de permettre à l'utilisateur de cannes de libérer sans aide exterieure l'une de ses mains en conservant un appui unilatéral éfficace ou les deux mains en améliorant la stabiliter des cannes placées sur un support vertical. Le principe remarquable de cette invention réside dans un système permettant de solidariser ou de désolidariser deux cannes, à la demande de son utilisateur, tout en conservant leur fonction initiale.All the inventions proposed to date to remedy these difficulties have provided inefficient and incomplete answers (see French Patent Nos. 2,290,886 and 2,655,263).
The purpose pursued in this invention is to allow the user of rods to release without external help one of his hands by maintaining effective unilateral support or both hands by improving the stability of canes placed on a vertical support. The remarkable principle of this invention lies in a system for securing or detaching two rods, at the request of its user, while retaining their original function.
Les figures annexes illustrent l'invention:
La figure 1 représente une canne du type dit "Canne
Anglaise" de profil.The accompanying figures illustrate the invention:
FIG. 1 represents a cane of the type called "cane
English "in profile.
La figure 2 représente deux cannes vues de face solidarisées entre elles.FIG. 2 represents two canes seen from the front and joined together.
En se réferant aux figures, la canne objet de l'invention, de préférence du type dit "Canne anglaise" se compose d'une partie tubulaire(l), d'une poignée de prehension(2) fixée sur un support de poignée(3) qui enserre la partie tubulaire au niveau de son premier tiers superieur. Un tampon d'appui(4) est emboité sur l'extrémité inferieure de la partie tubulaire. Un guide de bras(5) en forme de U est emboité horizontalement sur l'extrémité supérieure de la partie tubulaire. Deux aimants(6a) et(6b) situés de préférence sur chaque face extérieure du guide bras permettent comme le montre la figure 2 de solidariser les deux cannes entre elles. Referring to the figures, the rod object of the invention, preferably of the type called "English cane" consists of a tubular portion (1), a handle (2) fixed on a handle support ( 3) which encloses the tubular part at its first upper third. A support pad (4) is fitted on the lower end of the tubular portion. A U-shaped arm guide (5) is fitted horizontally on the upper end of the tubular portion. Two magnets (6a) and (6b) preferably located on each outer face of the guide arm allow as shown in Figure 2 to secure the two rods together.
Selon des modes de fabrication préférentiels, les zones aimantées constituées par des aimants en ferrite (Ferram > ou en alliage de type Alnico (Ticonam) sont disposées dans la moitié superieure de la canne sur ses faces extérieures. Dans le cas d'une canne anglaise les zones aimantées sont prévues sur chaque face extérieure du guide de bras. According to preferred methods of manufacture, the magnetized zones constituted by ferrite magnets (Ferram or Alnico alloy (Ticonam)) are arranged in the upper half of the cane on its outer faces. the magnetized zones are provided on each outer face of the arm guide.
Les cannes pour une utilisation satifaisante, doivent être identiques et interchangeables. On remarque cependant, sur la canne illustrée figure 2, que l'on peut grâce à la poignée de préhension définir une partie avant et par opposition une partie arrière, et par consequent un coté gauche et un coté droit d'où un aimant gauche(6a) et un aimant droit(6b). The rods for a satifying use, must be identical and interchangeable. However, it can be seen on the cane illustrated in FIG. 2 that, thanks to the gripping handle, it is possible to define a front part and a rear part, and consequently a left side and a right side from which a left magnet ( 6a) and a right magnet (6b).
I1 est important pour obtenir un champ magnétique optimal que les aimants(6a) et (6b) aient une pôlarisation de sens opposés et toujours sur le même degré d'axe. La forme des aimants est de préference du type cylindre rond ou polygonal, ou tronc de pyramide, ou tronc de cône. Les aimants disposés sur la canne sont collés, ou encliquetés, ou surmoulés, ou vissés, ou soudés et leur champ magnétique est déterminé pour permettre de solidariser les cannes et les maintenir l'une contre 1 l'autre. Les aimants sont placés soit au moment de la fabrication, soit sur des cannes déjà existantes et ils peuvent être totalement ou partiellement recouverts par une matière protectrice. It is important to obtain an optimal magnetic field that the magnets (6a) and (6b) have a polarization in opposite directions and always on the same degree of axis. The shape of the magnets is preferably of the round or polygonal cylinder type, or truncated pyramid, or truncated cone. The magnets disposed on the rod are glued, or snapped, or overmoulded, or screwed or welded and their magnetic field is determined to allow the rods to be secured and held against each other. The magnets are placed either at the time of manufacture or on already existing canes and they can be totally or partially covered by a protective material.
Ainsi leur utilisateur pourra comme sur la figure 2 solidariser ses deux cannes l'une contre l'autre en gardant un appui unilateral éfficace et ainsi se libérer une main. De même on observe, figure 2, que les deux cannes ainsi solidarisées sont plus stables puisqu'elles reposent au sol par deux points d'appui. Thus their user can as in Figure 2 secure his two rods against each other by keeping an effective unilateral support and thus free a hand. Similarly, FIG. 2 shows that the two rods thus secured are more stable since they rest on the ground by two points of support.
On s'aperçoit à l'utilisation que les aimants ainsi positionnés sont situés approximativement à la hauteur moyenne d'un certain nombre d'éléments métalliques, nous citerons pour exemple: les refrigérateurs et les serrures de portes, qui offriront eux aussi des nouveaux types de supports verticaux stables pour les cannes. It can be seen from the use that the magnets thus positioned are situated approximately at the average height of a certain number of metallic elements, we will cite for example: the refrigerators and the door locks, which will also offer new types stable vertical supports for rods.
