WALKING-STICK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 23, 1917.
Application filed May 5, 1916. Serial No. 95,607.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EMILE SOI-ILICK, of 16 line dc Toul, Nancy, Meurthe 8: Moselle in the Republic of France, mechanical engineer, have invented Improvements in lValking-Sticks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a walking-stick useful as an aid to a wounded or invalid person, and affording relief to the wrist by transferring a partof the weight of the body to the fore-arm.
F or this purpose, the walking-stick is provided at the upper end with an oblique support, fixed or with compensatory movement, on which the fore-arm rests, being held on the said support by engaging in a holding arrangement of semi-circular form.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 shows a walking-stick arranged acgording to this invention.
Fig. 2 shows a modified form thereof.
Fig. 3 shows the walking-stick in use.
Fig. 1': is an end view of the arm support.
As shown in. the drawing, the improved walking-stick comprises an ordinary stick a f wood or metal, having a suitably inclined handle Z) at its upper part. Opposite to this handle Z1 and obliquely arranged with re spect to the stick, a metal blade 0 is fixed at one of its ends and-forms a yielding or compensatory support. Behind the blade 0, a second blade (5 is fixed at its lower end to the stick a and is in contact at its upper end with the said. blade 0. The latter carries at its outer or free end, a semicircular fork e intended to support and guide the fore-arm, as shown in Fig. 3.
In the form illustrated in Fig. l, the blades 0 and (Z are fixed to the upper part of the said stick a at two diametrically opposite points.
In the form illustrated in Fig. 2, the two blades are secured to the handle 7).
In order to use the improved walkingstick, the invalid or wounded person takes hold of the handle 6 in the ordinary manner and rests the fore-arm in the fork c.
It will be readily understood that the forearm being guided and resting on a support, the whole weight of the body will not be thrown upon the wrist which, in View of this, is much less fatigued than would be thelcase when using an ordinary walkingstic c.
Moreover, on the application of pressure, the two blades 0 and d bend slightly and act as shock absorbers, thereby avoiding the transmission of jars to the invalid or wounded user. I
This walking-stick can inmany cases be advantageously used in place of a crutch.
The'fore-arm support instead of comprising, as shown in the drawing, two slightly flexible metal blades, can also be formed by a rigid rod carrying the fork 6.
Claims:
1. A walking stick for a wounded or invalid person, comprising a stick having a handle and provided with two resilient members extending obliquely from the stick in. the opposite direction to the handle, and in engagement with one another, one of the said members being provided with an arm rest.
2. A walking stick for a wounded or invalid person, comprising a stick having a handle, a resilient member extending obliquely from the stick and having an arm support at its free end, and a second resilient member extending from the opposite side of the stick and engaging the under face of the first member.
The foregoing specification of my im movements in walking-sticks, signed by me this 15th day of April, 1916.
EMILE SCHLICK.
