FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates in particular to a cane with antebrachial support otherwise known as an English cane.

A preferred application relates to the cane industry enabling the movement of people with reduced mobility.

TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

In the latter field, there are many known antebrachial support rods. This type of cane includes an antebrachial portion to support a user's forearm, a handle allowing the user to hold the cane and a rod extending from the antebrachial portion to the ground. The antebrachial portion has a concave shape on its receiving side of the forearm and a convex shape on its opposite side, that is to say on its outer side. Usually these rods are used in pairs so that the user does not have to put one of his feet on the ground. These rods are very practical for moving on flat surfaces. However, the passage of obstacles, such as for example a staircase, remains a difficult test for a user. Indeed, the latter can hardly use the canes to climb stairs, and if he uses the ramp, then he must hold the two canes with his other hand. In doing so, he refrains from any use of the other rod.

In addition, when a user does not need his canes, keeping the canes upright is complex. Indeed, due to the convex shape of the outer face of the antebrachial portion, the contact surface of the rod with another vertical surface (a wall or a table edge for example) is reduced. The cane therefore tends to roll and then fall to the ground. If the user needs two canes, this is even more difficult, because one cane usually leads the other to fall. It is important to remember here that the user has reduced mobility. Thus, stooping down to pick up the rod (s) can be a delicate and risky operation.

The publication DE3530387 is part of this technology by forming a system of two rods which can be fixed to each other by a magnet and / or strips of Velcro® type fabric (a strip with loops and a second with hooks). In this publication, canes can be held together to facilitate vertical point storage by pressing against a vertical surface. On the other hand, during this fixing, each of the rods remains accessible for use.

It is necessary to find an alternative system to the prior art and allowing the attachment of a first cane relative to a second cane while allowing the use of the first cane after the attachment of the second cane relative to the first.

The invention makes it possible to solve all or part of the drawbacks of current techniques.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One aspect of the invention relates in particular to a system comprising first and second rods in which one, said carrying rod, of the first or second rods is configured to carry the other, known as carried rod, among the first or second rod and in which each of the rods comprises at least:

- an antebrachial portion comprising:

a support portion comprising an internal surface configured to receive the forearm of a user and extending between a summit portion comprising an upper point and a distal portion,

- a rod configured to extend from the distal portion to a distal end,

- a handle, configured to accommodate the user's hand and in which a proximal part is linked with the support portion and / or the distal portion.

Advantageously, this system is such that at least the carried rod comprises a hooking element, chosen from a hook or a bar, configured to cooperate with a complementary hooking element, respectively a bar or a hook, carried by the carrying rod, the hooking element and the complementary hooking element being configured to cooperate so that the bar of one of the first or second rods is inserted into the hook of the other of the first or second canes.

This arrangement allows a first cane to carry a second cane while allowing the user to use the first cane. Thus, when crossing an obstacle for example, the user can on the one hand help himself with a cane, and on the other hand help himself with his environment. The second cane is carried by the first cane so as not to hinder the movement of the user.

The invention also relates to a cane intended to carry a second cane comprising at least:

an antebrachial portion comprising:

a support portion comprising an internal surface configured to receive the forearm of a user and extending between a summit portion comprising an upper point and a distal portion, a rod configured to extend from the distal portion at a distal end, a handle, configured to receive the hand of the user and in which a proximal part is linked with the support portion and / or the distal portion.

Advantageously, said rod comprises at least one hooking element chosen from a bar and a hook intended to cooperate with a complementary hooking element respectively in the form of a hook or of a bar and carried by the second rod.

This advantageous configuration of a cane allows in particular the carrying of a second cane according to the system of the present invention.

The invention also advantageously relates to a carried rod intended for carrying a carrying rod comprising at least:

- an antebrachial portion comprising:

a support portion comprising an internal surface configured to receive the forearm of a user and extending between a summit portion comprising an upper point and a distal portion,

- a rod configured to extend from the distal portion to a distal end,

- a handle, configured to accommodate the user's hand and in which a proximal part is linked with the support portion and / or the distal portion,

Advantageously, said rod comprises at least one additional hooking element chosen from a hook and a bar intended to cooperate with a hooking element in the form of respectively a bar or a hook carried by the carried rod.

This advantageous configuration of a cane allows in particular the carrying of the cane carried thanks to cooperation between a hook and a bar.

A separable aspect of the invention also relates to a first rod, known as a carrying rod, intended to carry a second rod known as a carried rod, in which the carrying rod comprises at least two and preferably at least three guide sections of the carried rod.

This advantageous configuration allows in particular better maintenance of the rod carried on the carrying rod.

The present invention relates to a cane 1 with antebrachial support or in other words to an English cane 1. This type of cane 1 is usually used by a user with reduced mobility.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a system comprising two rods 1 with antebrachial support. In this system, one of the two rods 1 is configured to be able to attach to the other rod 1 so as to facilitate the passage of an obstacle for the user and preferably the passage of a staircase. Advantageously, the present invention relates to a system comprising a first and a second rod 1 and in which, at least one of the first and second rods 1 is configured to carry the other of the first and second rods 1. Thus the system comprises a 1 carrying rod and 1 carrying rod.

Advantageously, a cane 1 having an antebrachial support according to the present invention and used in the system of said invention comprises at least: an antebrachial portion 100, a rod 200 and a handle 300. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the two rods 1 are identical. In this embodiment, each of the rods 1 can be alternately both carried and carrying. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the two rods 1 are not identical.

In one embodiment of the invention, the antebrachial portion 100 is connected at one of its ends to the rod 200. The rod 200 has two ends.

Said rod 200 is thus connected at one of its ends to the antebrachial portion. The other end of the rod 200 is advantageously in contact with the ground when the rod 1 is used by the user. It can be tubular.

Thus, when using the rod 1, the antebrachial portion 100 is above the rod 200.

The handle 300 is advantageously connected to the antebrachial portion 100. In one embodiment of the invention, the handle 300 is attached and fixed to the antebrachial portion 100. In another embodiment of the invention, the handle 300 and the antebrachial portion 100 are formed of a single monolithic body. Preferably, the handle is configured to accommodate the hand of a user.

The antebrachial portion 100

Advantageously, the antebrachial portion 100 comprises a top portion 110, a support portion 120 and a distal portion 130. Preferably, the antebrachial portion 100 is configured in particular to accommodate the user's forearm. The antebrachial portion 100 is advantageously made of polymer and preferably of plastic. Preferably the antebrachial portion is molded. It can be molded into a monolithic piece. In this embodiment, the top portion 110, the support portion 120 and the distal portion 130 are formed in a single body. In another embodiment of the invention, the different elements constituting the antebrachial portion 100 are assembled together.

Advantageously, the support portion 120 extends between its two ends between the top portion 110 and the distal portion 130. When using a rod 1, the top portion 110 is above the portion of support 120 which itself is above the distal portion 130.

The top part 110

The top portion 110 is located above the support portion. Advantageously, when the rod 1 is used by a user, the top portion 110 is the portion of the antebrachial portion 100 closest to the user's elbow. Advantageously, the top part 110 comprises a slice 111, a notch 112, a fastener 113 and an upper point 117. Advantageously, the slice 111 is the part of the top part 110 most opposite to the rod 200. The slice 111 can be right. In another embodiment of the invention, it is bent in the direction of the rod 200. In another embodiment of the invention, the edge 111 has the shape of a rod.

Advantageously, the top part 110 comprises an internal surface 114 of concave shape and an external surface 115 of convex shape as well as a top 116. Advantageously, the top 116 corresponds to the meeting point of the inner 114 and outer 115 surfaces in a median plane, advantageously of symmetry of the cane, cutting it into two portions. This vertex 116 is notably visible in FIG. 4.

Advantageously, the distance between two ends of the top portion 110, that is to say the two ends furthest from the top 116 are spaced by a distance of between 7 centimeters (cm or 10 ′ ² meters) and 20 cm , and preferably between 9 cm and 15 cm, preferably between 10 cm and 12 cm.

Preferably, a notch 112 is present on the edge 111. Advantageously, two notches are present on the edge 111. Still preferably, the two notches 112 are disposed respectively on either side of the top 116. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the notches 112 are each at an equal distance from the apex 116. Advantageously, the distance between a notch 112 and the apex 116 is between 3 cm and 10 cm, and preferably between 6 cm and 7 cm. Preferably, the carried rod 1 comprises at least one section 111 and the carrying rod at least one notch 112. However these elements can be reversed and the carrying rod 1 can comprise the section 111 and the carried rod the notch 112. In the Preferential embodiment of the invention, the two rods 1 respectively carry at least one notch 112 and a slice 111. Advantageously, near the top 116, a clip 113 is present. By proximity is meant a spacing between the top 116 and the fastener a distance notably less than 10 cm (cm or 10 ′ ² meter) and preferably less than 5 cm and preferably less than 2 cm and preferably on the Mountain peak. The set of measures previously described is advantageously calculated by following a rectilinear trajectory between two points, without taking into consideration the curvature of the section 111 and of the top part 110.

The upper point 117 is the end of the top portion 110 furthest from the rod 200 along an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of said rod 200.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the fastener 113 comprises at least one hook and preferably two inverted hooks. By inverted hook is meant a hook whose free end is oriented in a direction opposite to the other hook. For example, a first hook can have its free end oriented towards the rod 200 and the second hook, that is to say the inverted hook can have its free end oriented in a reverse direction.

Advantageously, the hook of a first cane 1 cooperates with the inverted hook of a second cane 1 by fixing one inside the other. Thus, the two rods 1 are attached to each other. Advantageously, when the two rods 1 are attached to each other by their respective clips 113, the rods 200 of the two rods 1 form an angle a of between 0 ° and 45 ° and preferably between 0 ° and 30 °. When the two rods 1 are thus connected together, they can then be pressed against a vertical surface. In this case, they then form a tripod and are perfectly stable.

The support portion 120

The support portion 120 preferably extends between the top portion 110 and the distal portion 130. Advantageously, the support portion 120 of a rod 1 comprises at least one internal surface 120a, an external surface 120b and a wing 121 comprising a light 122 and a bar 125 comprising a front surface ίο

125a and a rear surface 125b comprising a recess 127. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the support portions 120 of the two rods 1 are identical.

Preferably, the internal surface 120a is configured to accommodate the forearm of a user. As for the external surface 120b, it is oriented in a direction opposite to the internal surface. The support portion 120 comprises at least one wing 121 and preferably two wings 121. Advantageously, the wing or wings 121 are in the extension of the two ends of the top part 110. Advantageously, in the embodiment comprising two wings 121, the two wings 121 are positioned on each side of the support portion 120. Thus, the two wings 121 are opposite one another.

Preferably, the wing 121 comprises at least the light 122 and the bar 125 and a lip 128. In one embodiment of the invention, the wing 121 comprises two lights 122 and a bar 125. In this embodiment, the lights of the wing 121 are arranged respectively above and below the bar 125. This arrangement is particularly visible in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 5.

The light 122 is advantageously configured to pass a hook 133 carried by the rod 1 carried. Thus, the dimensions of the lumen 122 are preferably greater than the dimensions of the hook 133. In the embodiment comprising only one lumen 122, the latter is preferably positioned above the bar 125. An alternative is to have a single lumen 122 divided by the bar 125 into two sub-lights.

The bar 125 may include a front surface 125a and a rear surface 125b comprising a recess 127.

Advantageously, the front surface 125a is oriented in the same direction as the internal surface 120a. Thus, the rear surface 125b is oriented in the direction opposite to the external surface 125b. In other words, the rear surface 125b is oriented in the same direction as the external surface 120b.

Preferably, the bar 125 is not straight. In other words, the bar 125 is configured to form a recess in a direction opposite to the internal surface 120a of the support portion 120 of the forearm. This withdrawal is particularly visible in Figures 4, 6 and 10. The shape of this withdrawal can be a half-loop for example (not shown in the figures). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the bar 125 is formed of three rectangular portions joined to each other to form a recess. This embodiment is particularly visible in the figures. This preferred embodiment makes it possible in particular to have a central surface of the flat bar 125. This flat surface allows easier incorporation of the bar 125 into the hook 133. In addition, this flat surface allows the presence of the recess 127. The recess 127 is hollowed out in the front surface 125a of the bar. Advantageously, the recess 127 has a shape complementary to a bead 134 carried by the hook 133. The recess 127 is notably visible in FIG. 8.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the withdrawal made by the bar 125 to a dimension at least equal to the thickness of the hook 133. The dimension of the withdrawal is understood to mean the dimension between the top of the bar 125, that is to say that is to say the part of the bar 125 most distant from the wing 121 and said wing 121. The thickness of the hook 133 corresponds to the dimension separating a rear face 133c and a front face 133d of said hook 133. Advantageously, the dimension of the removal of the bar 125 at least equal to the thickness of the hook 133 allows, when the bar 125 is inserted into the hook 133, that said hook 133 does not protrude on the internal surface 120b. Thus, the hook 133 does not interfere with the user's forearm. Thus, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the wing 121 does not include a light 122. In this hypothesis, the removal of the bar 125 is sufficient for the insertion of said bar 125 in the hook 133.

The lip 128 extends either over the entire length of the wing 121, or over a portion less than the entire length of the wing 121. The lip 128 forms a relief on the wing 121. Preferably, the lip 128 is positioned on one end of the wing 121. Advantageously, the width and depth dimensions of the lip 128 are less than the dimensions of the notch 111. It is in particular specified that the dimension in depth of the lip 128 extends in a direction opposite to the internal surface 120a of the support portion 120 of the forearm.

The lip 128 is configured to cooperate with the notch 112 of the top part 112. This makes it possible to improve the holding in position of the rod carried on the carrying rod.

Of course, a reverse realization is also possible. In this case, the lip 128 includes a notch which cooperates with the edge 111 of the top part 110. This embodiment is not shown in the figures.

The distal portion 130

As we said earlier, the antebrachial portion 100 advantageously comprises a distal portion 130.

Advantageously, the distal portion 130 comprises at least one guide portion 131, a flat 132, the bead 134 and the hook 133 comprising a first end 133a, a second end 133b, the rear face 133c, the front face 133d, a slope 133e and a lug 133f. Preferably, the distal portion comprises two hooks 133 as well as two guide portions 131 and two beads 134. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the bead 134 is carried by the hook 133.

However, in an alternative embodiment, the bead 134 is carried by the bar 125, and the recess 127 is carried by the hook 133. In another embodiment, comprising two bars 125 and two hooks 133 per rod 1, one of the bars 125 can carry a bead 134 and the other a recess 127. In this embodiment, the hooks 133 respectively also carry either a bead 134 or a recess 127. In other embodiments, the bar 125 and the hook 133 carry the bead 134 and the recess 127.

Advantageously, the bead 134 cooperates with the recess 127. Thus, they have complementary shapes. This cooperation allows better retention of the bar 125 inside the hook 133.

The distal portion also comprises a dish 132. The dish is advantageously formed between the end of the distal portion 130 closest to the rod 200 (with the exception of course of the hook 133) and the rod 200. The angle between this end and the rod 200 is advantageously 90 °. This forms the dish 132. This dish 132 is particularly advantageous because it allows the positioning of the rod 1 on a horizontal surface. This is for example the case of a table or a desk. In this case, the user can place his cane 1 on the horizontal surface through the dish. Thus, the rod 1 is positioned stably on this surface. The dish is particularly visible in Figure 9.

The hook 133 comprises, as we have said, the first end 133a (visible in all of the figures with the exception of Figures 4 and 6), the second end 133b (visible in all of the figures except for the Figures 4), the rear face 133c (visible in Figures 7 and 11), the front face 133d (visible in Figures 1 to 3, 5 and 8 to 11), the slope 133e (visible in Figure 6) and l 'pin 133f (visible in all of the figures except Figures 4, 6 and 7).

Preferably, the first end 133a is connected to the distal portion 130 and the second end 133b is free. A reverse configuration is possible in an alternative embodiment. Advantageously, the first end 133a is fixed to the distal portion 130 while retaining a certain elasticity. Indeed, the connection between the distal portion 130 and the first end must allow the hook 133 to have a clearance in order to allow the bar 125 to pass. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the second end 133b has a shape of slope

133rd. Preferably, this slope 113 is configured to spread the second end 133b outward when the bar 125 is inserted into the hook 133.

The rear face 133c is preferably opposite the rod 200. Thus, the front face 133d is oriented in a direction opposite to the rear face 133c. The lug 133f is preferably carried by the front face 133d at the second end 133b. This lug 133f advantageously makes it possible to keep a minimum thickness at the level of the slope 133e. In addition, this allows better grip of the hook 133 by the user when the latter wants to separate it from the bar 125. This grip is in particular necessary to disengage the bead 134 from the recess 127 in order to be able to disengage the bar 125 from the hook 133 .

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the rods 1 comprises two hooks 133. Still in this embodiment, the two hooks 133 are positioned on the distal portion in a diametrically opposite manner and preferably on an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle 300. Preferably, the hooks 133 have their second ends pointing towards the rod 200. Thus, the orientation of the hooks 133 is downwards. Finally, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the dimension separating the bar 125 and the upper point 117 is less than the dimension separating the hook 133 and the upper point 117. Thus, the bar 125 is located above the hook 133 Preferably, the dimension separating the bar 125 and the first end 133a of the hook 133 is between 50 cm and 10 cm and preferably between 40 cm and 15 cm and preferably between 18 cm and 20 cm.

However, all of these characteristics are only preferred and other embodiments are possible and can be combined with one another. For example, the hooks 133 can have their free ends, that is to say their second ends pointing towards the top part 110. Likewise, the positions of the hooks 133 and of the bars 125 can be reversed. In one embodiment, a rod 1 may have only one bar 125 or more bars 125 and the other rod 1 may have only one or more hooks 133. In the case where only a bar 125 is present, it can for example be positioned on the external surface 120b.

Finally, the guide portion 131 makes it possible to orient the rod 200 of the rod 1 carried in a divergent direction from the rod 200 of the carrying rod 1. Preferably, the guide portion 131 comprises a flaring close to the first end 133a of the hook 133. This guide portion 131 advantageously has a shape complementary to the shape of the rod 200. As a result, the cooperation between the guide portion 131 and the rod 200 is optimal.

Rod 200

Preferably, the rod 200 comprises a proximal end 210, a distal end advantageously comprising a foot and / or a suction cup. The rod 200 preferably has a longitudinal axis extending between its proximal end 210 and its distal end.

Thus, the rod 200 is configured to extend from the distal portion 130 at its proximal end 210 to a distal end.

The distal end carries a foot configured to be in contact with the ground when the rod 1 is used by a user. The foot can in particular be covered with a non-slip material such as for example a polymer such as rubber. The foot can also include a suction cup, allowing not to slip. The rod 200 is preferably straight. It can, in alternative embodiments, carry the bar 125 and / or the hook 133.

The handle 300

The handle 300 advantageously comprises a distal stop 301, a proximal part 302, a hand support element 303 and a holding element 304 of the hand support element 303.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the handle 300 is connected to the distal portion 130 by its proximal portion 302. In other embodiments of the invention, the handle 300 and the antebrachial portion 100 or at least the distal portion 130 form a single monolithic piece. The handle 300 has a longitudinal axis extending between its distal stop 301 and the proximal part 302. Advantageously, the longitudinal axis of the handle 300 is perpendicular to the rod 200 and more precisely to the longitudinal axis of the rod 200.

The hand support element 303 is an element positioned on the handle 300 allowing the user a better grip of the handle 300. Preferably, the hand support element 303 is in direct contact with the palm of a user's hand. The hand support element 303 can for example be made of flexible polymer. The attachment of the hand support element 303 to the handle can be done by gluing, or as is the case in the preferred embodiment of the invention thanks to a holding element 304.

Finally, the distal stop 301 is mainly used to prevent slipping of the user's hand when using the rod 1.

In use, when the person wishes to release one of his hands, he inserts the desired hook (by having two hooks and two bars, it is preferably ensured that any combination of insertion to the right or to the left is possible) around the bar corresponding. One of the rods is carried, without hampering the user in his movement. During insertion, preferably, a portion of the rod of the carried rod is guided by the guide portion 131 of the carrying rod. Alternatively, or in a stack, a notch in the carrying rod receives the edge of a wing 121 of the carried rod. These optional elements participate in the complete immobilization, in a predefined position, of the carried rod.

The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but extends to all embodiments in accordance with its spirit.
