Base structure for a walking stick

Abstract

A base structure for a walking stick comprises a body including a connecting support and a plurality of extending legs, the connecting support including a retaining chamber formed around an inner wall thereof to receive a post, and the extending legs extending radially from a bottom end of the connecting support, each of the extending legs including an arcuate arm and a block, and one end of the arcuate arm connected on the bottom end of the connecting support so as to obtain flexibility, the block being located on another end of the arcuate arm and including a plane to abut against the ground; and a washer secured in a bottom surface of the retaining chamber to bias against a bottom end of the post.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1.

Problems solved by technology

Nos. 212935 and 370873 includes a base formed in a cylinder shape and having pyramid side surfaces around an outer rim thereof, however a shock absorbing effect is limited.

Besides, a bottom area of the base is too small to support user securely.

Nos. 386378, 477184, and M345514 includes a base having a spring disposed in a buffer member or annular grooves formed around a side wall of the buffer member to return the original shape after the swinging of the buffer member, however such buffer member has poor shock absorbing ability and complicated structure.

No. 338069 includes three extending legs to abut against the ground, but it can not stand on the ground upright, supporting user insecurely.
