Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a holder for assistants according to the preamble of claim 1. State of the art

[0002] The only known devices in the prior art to date are holders for walking aids in the form of clamping profiles for forearm crutches, which include a bracket that can be attached, for example, to a bed or piece of furniture to securely hold the forearm crutches. Holders such as table / wall clips for walking sticks / crutches (e.g., "stick holders," "crutch holders") are also known.

[0003] Commonly used brackets, such as bed, table, or wall mounts for forearm crutches, are structurally unsuitable for attachment to the body or clothing. They require a rigid surface and generate high clamping forces that can damage flexible fabrics or straps. Furthermore, they are too heavy and bulky, and do not offer sufficient freedom of movement or ergonomic adjustment. Due to the lack of damping and safety mechanisms, they can slip during body movements, causing pressure points or injuries. Therefore, such stationary brackets are not designed for the short-term, secure, and comfortable attachment of a forearm crutch to the body. Description of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and to create a holder with which an assistive device can be quickly, securely, and comfortably attached to the user's body or clothing without significantly restricting their freedom of movement or damaging the clothing. The device should allow for quick, one-handed attachment and detachment of the walking aid, prevent unintentional release, and be lightweight, ergonomic, and suitable for everyday use, so that it allows for secure temporary fixation of the walking aid, particularly when the hands need to be free for short periods, such as when opening doors or carrying objects.

[0005] According to the invention, the aforementioned problem is solved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the holder according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

[0006] The holder for assistants according to the invention initially consists of a first holding part that can be attached to an assistant and a second holding part that can be reversibly connected to the first holding part, wherein the first holding part comprises at least one holding, clamping and / or fastening means for arranging the first holding part on an assistant.

[0007] According to the invention, the aid is characterized in that the second holding part also comprises at least one (additional) holding, clamping and / or fastening means, wherein the first holding part and the second holding part can be reversibly connected to each other by means of at least one magnetically formed connecting means.

[0008] Such a holding, clamping, and / or fastening device could, for example, be designed as a form-fit or force-fit connection that allows for a detachable yet stable attachment of the first holding element to a shaft or tube section of the walking aid. For this purpose, the device can include a clamping ring, a clamp, a spring clip, a tension band, a snap or latch fastener, or a holding element that can be fixed with screws or quick-release fasteners. Alternatively, an elastic, rubberized inner lining or a conical contact surface can be provided to accommodate different tube diameters and prevent twisting or slippage. The fastening can be designed so that it can be assembled and disassembled without tools and ensures a stable, vibration-resistant connection between the first holding element and the walking aid. Brief description of the drawings

[0009] Further objectives, features, advantages and application possibilities of the holder according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing.

[0010] The drawing shows Fig. 1 the invention in an advantageous embodiment in perspective view. Implementation of the invention

[0011] As from Fig. As can be seen in Figure 1, the holder 1 comprises a holding, clamping and fastening means 100, which preferably has a lockable, closable and / or size-adjustable receptacle 1000 by means of which the first holding part 10 can be attached to a walking aid 2. This allows the fastening to be adapted to different tube diameters, thus enabling a secure and at the same time damage-free fixation of the holding part.

[0012] Advantageously, the mounting 1000 is at least temporarily curved, circular, or partially circular in shape, so that it fits snugly against a tubular section of the walking aid 2. This results in a central, rotationally secure, and stable attachment that reliably prevents unintentional loosening or slippage.

[0013] In a further advantageous embodiment, an opening 1001 is provided on the receptacle 1000, which forms access to the receptacle. This opening facilitates the insertion or placement of the walking aid into the receptacle and at the same time enables quick assembly and disassembly of the retaining part without the need for tools.

[0014] The holding, clamping, and fastening element 100 is preferably elastic or flexible, so that the opening 1001 for receiving the 1000 can be temporarily enlarged or reduced by means of an elastic change in shape. In this way, the holding element can be easily adapted to different pipe diameters, which significantly improves ease of use and handling.

[0015] In a further preferred embodiment, the second retaining part 11 has a retaining, clamping, or fastening element 110, which is designed as a clamp or clip and comprises at least two spaced-apart legs 1100 to form a receptacle 1100. This design allows for the quick clamping or insertion of an object, for example, a garment or a strap, thereby enabling simple and temporary fixation of the walking aid to the user's body.

[0016] Advantageously, the two legs of the 1100 are flat, creating a large contact area that distributes pressure evenly. This prevents pressure points, avoids material deformation, and increases wearing comfort.

[0017] The angle between the two legs 1100 is preferably adjustable, allowing the clamping force to be individually set or automatically adapted to different material thicknesses. This results in improved holding power while ensuring comfortable operation.

[0018] In a further advantageous embodiment, the two legs 1100 are aligned or can be aligned parallel to each other, so that a uniform contact pressure is generated and the hold against tensile or shear forces is improved.

[0019] For the reversible connection of the two retaining parts 10 and 11, a magnetically formed connecting element 101 is preferably provided, which is arranged on the first retaining part 10, while the second retaining part 11 consists at least partially of a magnetically attracted material. This magnetic coupling allows the user to quickly and precisely connect or disconnect the two retaining parts with just one hand. This particularly facilitates short-term use, such as when opening doors or carrying objects.

[0020] Advantageously, at least one leg 1100 of the second holding part 11 consists of a magnetically attractive material, which increases the holding force and supports automatic alignment when approaching the first holding part.

[0021] The magnetically formed connecting element 101 preferably has a planar wall 1010 on which a leg 1100 of the second retaining part 11 can be arranged planarly. The planar contact increases the effective adhesive area and improves both the stability of the magnetic connection and the lateral load-bearing capacity during use.
