Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of umbrella stand fixers, in particular to an umbrella stand fixer used for a walker. Background Art

[0002] As an important walking aid, walkers are widely used by people with limited mobility and patients in rehabilitation, playing a key role in improving their self-care ability and convenience in life. However, in certain environments such as rainy days or scorching sun, users often face the problem of difficulty holding an umbrella while using a walker. This not only increases the difficulty of walking, requiring users to expend more physical strength and attention to maintain balance, but may also reduce the safety of walking and increase the risk of accidents such as falls.

[0003] Although there are some umbrella holders on the market, most of them are designed for equipment with a tubular frame, such as bicycles, and are not suitable for walkers. The armrests of walkers are often flat, which requires the umbrella holder to have a matching fixing method and structural design. In addition, existing umbrella holders are often complex in structure, with cumbersome installation processes, and are not easy for users to operate. They are also difficult to store, making it difficult for users to properly store their umbrellas when they are not in use. Utility Model Content

[0034] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] The utility model provides an umbrella stand fixing device for a walker, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the umbrella frame fixture are connected to the walker frame 6 and the umbrella handle 7 respectively. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the umbrella stand fixture includes a fixing seat 1, a first support rod 2, a second support rod 3 and an umbrella clamp 5. The head end of the first support rod 2 is connected to the fixing seat 1, the tail end of the first support rod 2 is hinged to the head end of the second support rod 3, and the second support rod 3 rotates relative to the first support rod 2 to adjust the angle between the two; the tail end of the second support rod 3 is hinged to the head end of the umbrella clamp 5, and the umbrella clamp 5 rotates relative to the second support rod 3 to adjust the angle between the two; the tail end of the umbrella clamp 5 is used to clamp the umbrella handle 7.

[0036] Key References Figure 1 and Figure 5 The cross section of the fixing seat 1 is inverted L-shaped, and includes a fixing portion 11 and a connecting portion 12 which are perpendicular to each other. The fixing portion 11 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped opening faces the frame below the handrail of the walker, and fits with the outer surface of the walker frame 6. The two are fixed by a detachable component 8, and the connecting portion 12 is fixed to the head end of the first support rod 2 by the detachable component 8. Specifically, as Figure 4 As shown, both sides of the walker frame 6 are provided with outwardly protruding fixing protrusions 61, and the middle of the fixing protrusions 61 is provided with a through first fixing hole 62, and the fixing portion 11 of the fixing seat 1 is provided with a fixing groove 13 at a position corresponding to the fixing protrusion 61, and the middle of the fixing groove 13 is also provided with a second fixing hole 14. In this embodiment, the detachable component 8 between the fixing seat 1 and the walker frame 6 includes bolts and screws. The installation process of the fixing seat 1 is as follows: first, the bolts are passed through the fixing holes of the fixing protrusion 61 and the fixing groove 13 (the two are not in order) in sequence, and passed out from the fixing hole on the other side, and then the screws are tightened on the part through which the bolts pass, so as to fix the fixing seat 1 on the walker frame 6. The connecting portion 12 and the head end of the first strut 2 can also be connected and fixed by bolts and nuts. By designing the inverted L-shaped fixing seat 1, especially the fit between the arc-shaped fixing portion 11 and the outer surface of the walker frame 6, the bracket can be firmly fixed on the walker. This design not only takes into account the flat shape of the armrest frame of the walker, but also realizes quick installation and disassembly through the detachable component 8, thereby improving the adaptability and practicality of the bracket.

[0037] Key References Figure 2 and Figure 3, the first support rod 2 is a telescopic structure, and the first support rod 2 includes a sleeve 21, an inner tube 22 and a locking device 23. Among them, the inner tube 22 is movably sleeved in the sleeve 21, and is telescopic in the sleeve 21 by sliding, so as to adjust the length. When the length of the first support rod 2 needs to be shortened, the inner tube 22 can be retracted into the sleeve 21; when the length of the first support rod 2 needs to be extended, the inner tube 22 can be extended out of the sleeve 21. The locking device 23 is located at the connection between the two, which plays a fixing and adjusting role. By loosening the locking device 23, the user can easily make the sleeve 21 and the inner tube 22 relatively movable, which is convenient for adjusting the length. When the length of the first support rod 2 needs to be fixed, it is only necessary to tighten the locking device 23 to make the sleeve 21 and the inner tube 22 fit closely, ensuring the stability and safety of the bracket. The first support rod 2 described in this case can also adopt other telescopic structures, such as a pneumatic rod telescopic structure, which realizes the change of length by air pressure regulation or an electric telescopic structure, which realizes the automatic adjustment of length by motor drive.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the hinge of the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 adopts a toothed disc structure 4, including a first toothed disc 41 at the tail end of the first support rod 2 and a second toothed disc 42 at the head end of the second support rod 3. The first toothed disc 41 and the second toothed disc 42 are coaxially arranged, and the tooth surfaces of the two are meshed with each other. Through the toothed disc structure 4, the hinge between the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 realizes a more accurate and reliable angle adjustment function. The user can easily adjust the angle between the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 according to actual needs, thereby changing the direction and tilt angle of the umbrella. A positioning mechanism is also provided at the hinge between the two. When the user adjusts the angle between the first support rod 2 and the second support rod 3 according to actual needs, the toothed disc will rotate accordingly. Once the toothed disc rotates to the desired angle, the positioning mechanism will immediately take effect, and through its internal mechanism, ensure that the toothed disc remains in the current position and no longer moves or rotates unintentionally.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tail end of the second support rod 3 is hinged to the head end of the umbrella clamp 5, so that the umbrella clamp 5 can be flexibly rotated relative to the second support rod 3, so as to adjust the angle between the two. Specifically, the tail end of the second support rod 3 has a U-shaped hinge seat with an upward opening, and the head end of the umbrella clamp 5 has a hinge shaft, which matches the hinge seat at the tail end of the second support rod 3, and the two can smoothly rotate relative to each other. Through this hinge design, the user can easily adjust the angle of the umbrella clamp 5, so that the umbrella can better adapt to the changes in wind direction and sunlight angle, ensuring that the user can enjoy the best sunshade and rain shelter effect while walking.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the tail end of the umbrella clamp 5 is U-shaped, and the two sides of the U opening are relatively contracted inward, forming a natural clamping force, which can effectively clamp the umbrella handle 7 to prevent it from sliding or falling off during walking.

[0041] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention.
