Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of canes, and in particular to a stair cane. Background Technology

[0002] A walking stick is an aid to walking, typically made of wood, metal, plastic, or composite materials, used to support body weight, maintain balance, or reduce the burden on the lower limbs. Primary users include the elderly, those recovering from injuries, people with disabilities, and hikers.

[0003] With the increasing aging of the population, the elderly and those with lower limb dysfunction face many mobility difficulties in daily life, especially when going up and down stairs. Due to weakened leg strength, limited joint mobility, or decreased balance, they often cannot lift their legs high enough to safely and smoothly complete the movement, and in severe cases, they are prone to tripping on the stairs. Traditional walking aids (such as ordinary canes, four-corner canes, etc.) can provide some support, but they cannot effectively solve the special needs in stairwell scenarios. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the stair cane of this application is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a convenient stair turn to assist users in going up and down stairs.

[0025] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a stair turn 10 includes a turn body 100 and a tread 200. One end of the tread 200 is rotatably disposed on one side of the turn body 100. The tread 200 is used to be flipped under force to unfold or fold.

[0027] It should be noted that one end of the treadle 200 is rotatably mounted on one side of the bottom of the crutch body 100. For example, by using a pin to pass through one end of the treadle 200 and the crutch body 100 in sequence, the treadle 200 can rotate relative to the crutch body 100. Thus, when the treadle 200 is folded upwards relative to the crutch body 100, the stair crutch 10 in this state can be used as a regular walking stick in non-staircase situations. When the treadle 200 is folded downwards relative to the crutch body 100 and unfolded, the treadle 200 is equivalent to extending outwards from the bottom of the crutch body 100. In this state, the stair crutch 10 can be used on staircases, providing users with a special function. Specifically, when a user stands between two stair steps, they first place the unfolded stair turn 10 beside their legs. Then, the user places the leg closest to the stair turn 10 onto the step 200. Utilizing the height provided by the step 200, the user can briefly stand on it before the other leg can smoothly step onto the next stair step. This process is repeated. For users with mobility impairments, the step 200 serves as a transition platform, ensuring they can easily ascend and descend stairs. The foldable or unfoldable structure of the step 200 relative to the turn body 100 makes it suitable not only for special scenarios like climbing stairs but also for ordinary terrain such as flat ground and slopes, thus allowing for convenient use at any time.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the main body 100 of the rudder includes a base frame 110 and a support rod 120. The support rod 120 is disposed on the base frame 110, and the pedal 200 is rotatably disposed on the base frame 110.

[0029] It should be noted that, to facilitate the installation of the pedal 200 and to allow for easy gripping by the user, the main body 100 is designed as a mounting structure for the support rod 120 and the base frame 110. The support rod 120 and the base frame 110 can be fastened together with screws or welded together. The pedal 200 is rotatably mounted on the base frame 110, and the support rod 120 is vertically mounted on the base frame 110 for easy gripping by the user. Furthermore, it should be noted that the base frame 110 can be formed by bending and welding a circular tube. The shape and structure of the base frame 110 can be customized according to actual needs, as long as the pedal 200 is rotatably mounted relative to the base frame 110.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a magnetic block 300 is provided on the pedal 200. When the pedal 200 is subjected to force to flip and unfold or fold, the magnetic block 300 magnetically attracts the base frame 110 or the support rod 120.

[0031] It should be noted that when the treadle 200 is folded upwards, the stair rail 10 can function as a regular walking stick, suitable for any terrain, such as flat ground or slopes. To ensure the treadle 200 remains stably folded and does not accidentally tip over, a magnetic block 300 is installed on the treadle 200. For example, the magnetic block 300 can be installed on the lower side of the treadle 200. Thus, when the treadle 200 is folded upwards, the magnetic block 300 is magnetically attracted to the support rod 120. When the treadle 200 is unfolded downwards, the magnetic block 300 is magnetically attracted to the base frame 110. In one embodiment, the magnetic block 300 is a magnet. Thus, the magnetic block 300 ensures that the pedal 200 remains stably in the unfolded or folded state as needed, without changing its usage state due to accidents, resulting in better safety and stability.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a ferromagnetic block 130 is respectively provided on the base frame 110 and the support rod 120, and the magnetic block 300 is used to magnetically attract the ferromagnetic block 130.

[0033] It should be noted that the ferromagnetic block 130 is made of iron, cobalt, nickel, or their alloys, and is mounted on the base frame 110 or support rod 120 by screws or by welding. Thus, when the pedal 200 is flipped up or down, the magnetic block 300 can magnetically attract the corresponding ferromagnetic block 130 for fixation, preventing the pedal 200 from accidentally changing its state during use.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom side of the base frame 110 is provided with a plurality of spaced first legs 140.

[0035] Thus, each first leg 140 is used to support the ground, so that the base frame 110 is suspended relative to the ground, making the base frame 110 more stable during use.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom side of the pedal 200 is provided with a plurality of spaced second legs 400.

[0037] Thus, when the step 200 is flipped down to unfold, each second leg 400 supports the ground, giving the step 200 a certain height. The user steps on the step 200 as a transfer platform, thereby ensuring that the user can smoothly pass through the step 200 to go up and down the stairs.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a handrail 500 is adjustablely provided on the support rod 120.

[0039] It should be noted that, since users have different heights and require different legs to assist in going up and down stairs, a handrail 500 is adjustablely installed on the top of the support rod 120 to make the stair rail 10 suitable for users of different heights and for users with difficulty using their left or right leg. Specifically, the handrail 500 can slide relative to the support rod 120 to adjust its height and rotate to adjust its horizontal direction. This ensures that the step 200 is always positioned on the side of the leg that requires assistance during use.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the surface of the tread 200 is provided with an anti-slip layer 600. For example, the anti-slip layer 600 is a rough plastic layer, which can effectively enhance the friction of the surface of the tread 200, prevent the user from slipping when stepping on it, and further improve the safety of the stair turn 10 of this application.

[0041] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. Unless otherwise specifically defined, the installation / fixing / setting mentioned in this utility model can be understood as including, but not limited to, locking and fixing with screws / bolts, welding, or bonding with adhesives, wherein the adhesives used can be commercially available finished products. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
