Abstract
Description
[0001] DESCRIPTION
[0002] Walking stick with propulsion mechanism
[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The invention, as the title of this specification indicates, is a cane with a propulsion mechanism. This is an innovation that, within current techniques, offers previously unknown advantages.
[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR
[0006] The present invention falls within the sector of personal use objects or travel items, especially walking sticks.
[0007] STATE OF THE ART
[0008] The present invention arises from the effort involved in using a personal mobility vehicle such as a skateboard.
[0009] This is because many people find that using a skateboard requires considerable physical effort. Having to repeatedly push off with your foot to propel yourself forward and maintain balance can be exhausting, especially over long distances or on difficult terrain.
[0010] Additionally, the effort required may limit some people's ability to fully enjoy skateboarding as a means of transportation or recreation.
[0011] As a result, this innovative invention offers a walking stick with a propulsion mechanism that allows you to travel more places with less effort, enjoy more fun, and reduce the physical strain when using a skateboard as a means of transportation.
[0012] Additionally, it seeks to provide a solution to facilitate skateboarding, making it more comfortable and accessible for a greater number of people.
[0013] Currently, the existence of any walking stick with a propulsion mechanism is unknown, which has structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] The object of the present invention is the creation of a cane with a propulsion mechanism, which provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.
[0015] The present invention relates to a walking stick with a propulsion mechanism, which comprises a telescopic walking stick that houses a cushioning mechanism associated with a propulsion mechanism that provides support and driving force to the user's movement.
[0016] This solves the problem of fatigue and physical effort that comes with using a skateboard as a means of transportation or entertainment.
[0017] This innovation is very beneficial, as it allows users to enjoy a more comfortable and less tiring ride on a skateboard.
[0018] This telescopic cane consists of an outer tube with an internal channel through which an inner tube slides, allowing the cane to be extended, retracted, and adjusted to suit the user's needs. It also features an ergonomic handle for added comfort.
[0019] One of the most notable features of this invention is the damping mechanism, which incorporates springs that soften the impact and reduce vibration when hitting the ground.
[0020] The telescopic pole's propulsion mechanism features a pressure sensor at the bottom of the inner tube. This sensor detects the impact of the pole's ferrule hitting the ground, generating a propulsive force that vertically displaces the upper end of the outer tube, allowing the user to move comfortably and effortlessly.
[0021] To use the propulsion cane, the user simply places the cane's tip in contact with the ground and applies downward force. The pressure sensor detects this impact and activates the propulsion mechanism, providing the user with the momentum needed to move comfortably. This innovation solves the problem of fatigue and physical exertion associated with using a skateboard, offering users a more comfortable and less tiring commuting experience.
[0022] EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES
[0023] To complete the description being made and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is attached, as an integral part thereof, with a figure in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented.
[0024] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the cane with propulsion mechanism.
[0025] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.
[0026] The cane with propulsion mechanism comprises a telescopic cane (1) that houses inside it a damping mechanism (2) associated with a propulsion mechanism (3) that provides support and impulse force to the movement of a user, temporarily extending the length of the cane to push the user.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic cane (1) comprises an outer tube (1.1) with an internal channel through which an inner tube (1.2) slides, allowing the length of the telescopic cane (1) to be extended and shortened.
[0028] In the preferred embodiment, the telescopic pole (1 ) uses a locking pin (1 .3), associated with the inner tube (1 .2), which is inserted into one of the holes (1 .4) present in the outer tube (1.1 ), allowing the length of the telescopic pole (1 ) to be fixed and secured.
[0029] Preferably, the telescopic cane (1) has a handle (4) at the upper end of the outer tube (1.1), made of a non-slip and ergonomic material that provides comfort and a secure grip to the user.
[0030] Generally, the telescopic pole (1 ) has a ferrule (5) at the lower end of the inner tube (1.2), which protects the tip of the telescopic pole (1 ) and cushions the impact when it comes into contact with the ground.
[0031] Alternatively, the telescopic pole (1 ) has a tip responsible for making contact with the ground that is present at the lower end of the inner tube (1 .2). Preferably, the damping mechanism (2) includes springs that help soften the impact and reduce vibration when hitting the ground.
[0032] Preferably, the propulsion mechanism (3) includes a pressure sensor located at the bottom of the inner tube (1.2). This propulsion mechanism (3), upon detecting a strong impact by vigorously hitting the end piece (5) against the ground, generates a driving force that moves the upper end of the outer tube (1.1) vertically, providing the necessary momentum for a user to move comfortably.
[0033] The driving force can be generated by an electric motor or a pneumatic system.
[0034] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to explain it further so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essence, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
