DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cold protector for a walking stick.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A walking stick 10 shown in FIG. 5 has conventionally been used as a walking aid for the elderly, the disabled, and the blind.
0 is used. The walking stick is provided with a grip 102 for holding with a hand 101. In the cold winter season, your hands may freeze, so you may wear the cold protection and then hold the grip, but it is slippery and dangerous compared to directly touching the grip. When the physical condition is monitored by a sensor provided on the grip, it is difficult to detect the physical condition.

[0003] Examples of winter gloves with gripped hands are grip covers for bicycles, motorcycles and manually propelled vehicles. Technical information of a grip cover of a manually propelled vehicle is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-38957. The idea is that the cover can be easily put on the U-shaped handle.
Bicycles and motorcycle grips are equipped with additional functions such as brakes and clutches, so they are fixed so that the grip cover does not come off even if the hand holding the grip is moved violently. The grip of the bicycle or the like has a structure in which the grip end is downward in the horizontal direction or slightly, and the grip is thicker than the arm to the grip, so the cold gloves have a structure to prevent falling by catching on the thick grip. Have been. If a bicycle or motorcycle falls over, hands are trapped in the grip cover, which may cause an unexpected injury. Therefore, the hand insertion opening of the grip cover is widely opened so that it can be easily pulled out.

[0004]

The conventional walking stick is not provided with a cover for preventing the cold, so that when walking out in a cold winter, the hands freeze and suffer. The stick is always held with the handle of the grip facing downward except in a special situation, so mounting a cover having the same shape as the grip cover of a bicycle or motorcycle causes a problem. The problems are specifically described below.

Since the walking stick is a walking aid, it must be assumed that the walking is slow, and it is necessary to cope with the blowing of cold wind from right to left in FIG. On the other hand, the cover of a bicycle or the like has a problem that the opening of the hand insertion opening is wide and the spray from the opening direction reaches the hand directly. The countermeasures described in JP-A-7-310209 and JP-A-7-315273 have been invented for the wind from the traveling direction, but do not deal with the wind from the direction where the hand is inserted. In addition, the wide opening increases the outer shape of the cover, which increases the possibility that the cover touches the body when using the walking stick. Cover contact is uncomfortable.

[0006] When going out using a walking stick, one hand is occupied to grip the walking stick, so it is troublesome to take in and out a ticket at a ticket gate. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-30 describes how to watch a wristwatch with the cold protection equipment on.
No. 0709, and an example in which the telephone is fixed to the back of a glove is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-79278, but there was no plan for actually putting in and taking out the above-mentioned ticket, regular period, etc., and it was difficult. Further, when the stick portion of the walking stick is used in a vertical direction for use during walking, the winterization equipment may fall on the handle due to vibration or impact during walking. There is a danger of unexpected accidents due to the attention of falling winter clothing.

[0007]

In the cold-protection device for a walking stick according to the present invention, when a material for preventing the cold-protection device from being displaced is provided, the material for preventing the cold-protection device from falling along the handle directed in the vertical direction is used as the stick. When the cold protection gear shifts and falls due to contact, the shift prevention material generates a large frictional resistance to the movement and prevents the movement. In the case where the winterization tool of the walking stick has a cylindrical shape and a mechanism is provided in which a part of the side surface of the cylindrical shape is released with a force of 1 kg weight or more and 10 kg weight or less from the inside, When using the walking stick as a walking aid in a normal state, the winterization device covers the walking stick and the holding hand without being opened. In more detail about the normal state, the act of distributing the weight load on the disabled foot to the walking stick at the moment when the elderly, injured or sick with difficulty walking and holding the walking stick and landing on the disabled foot. The state in which it is performed is a normal state. For example, the maximum weight of a person weighing 50 kilograms on a walking stick is 5
It weighs 0 kilograms. When jumping and applying weight to the walking stick, a force greater than the weight is applied to the grip of the walking stick, but in a normal state, little force is applied to the cylindrical side surface of the cold weather protection equipment. The pushing force is only about pushing the cold protection from the inside when spreading the hand when re-grip the grip, and it does not weigh 1 kilogram. It does not exceed 1 kilogram weight when attaching the cold protection to the walking stick or inserting the hand into the cold protection. For this reason, the cold protection does not normally open. On the other hand, if he is about to fall, he will release his hand holding the walking stick and try to be passive. In this case, a force is applied to open the side of the cold protection tool from the inside. In the cold protection device of the present invention, when a force of 1 kg or more is applied, the side surface is opened and the passive body is not hindered. In addition to unconscious actions, even when you push open the winter protective gear consciously to free your hands at the ticket gate etc., you can open quickly by applying force in the direction to push the side from the inside to open. Considering that there is a difference in the weight and physical strength of the user, the threshold value to be pushed open can be adjusted within a range of 1 kg weight to 10 kg weight. Specifically, the joining strength of the joining surface closing the side surface is adjusted. In addition to the fact that the winterization tool of the walking stick has a cylindrical shape and a mechanism in which a part of the side surface of the cylindrical shape is opened with a force of 1 kg weight or more and 10 kg weight or less from the inside, In the case where the opened mechanism is restored to the original cylindrical shape after opening, if the opened cylinder is subjected to a certain work procedure by joining its joint surfaces to each other, the original state of the cold protection gear can be achieved. There is a mechanism for restoring. The winterization tool of the walking stick has a cylindrical shape, and a part of the side surface of the cylindrical shape is provided with a mechanism that is opened with a force of 1 kg weight to 10 kg weight from the inside, or The opening mechanism is restored to its original cylindrical shape after opening, or in addition, if the opening mechanism to be repaired is also provided in the cylinder opening, the hermeticity of the cylinder opening is To improve the cold protection and the like. On the other hand, in the case of suddenness, it is easily released by applying a force exceeding the threshold value adjusted in a range of 1 kg weight to 10 kg weight, and after opening, it is restored by performing a certain work procedure. The winterization tool of the walking stick has a cylindrical shape, and a part of the side surface of the cylindrical shape is provided with a mechanism that is opened with a force of 1 kg weight to 10 kg weight from the inside, or The opened mechanism is restored to its original cylindrical shape after being opened, or in addition to the restored opening mechanism being provided in the cylindrical opening, a storage pocket is provided inside. When equipped, the storage pocket is arranged at a position where it can be easily taken out when opened, and the storage pocket is arranged inside the cold protection which is hard to drop during normal use and is hard to see from the outside. The winterization tool of the walking stick has a cylindrical shape, and a part of the side surface of the cylindrical shape is provided with a mechanism that is opened with a force of 1 kg weight to 10 kg weight from the inside, or The opening mechanism is restored to its original cylindrical shape after opening, or in addition, the opening mechanism to be restored is also provided in the cylinder opening, and / or additionally housed inside In addition to having a pocket, if the inside of the cylinder is light-reflected, it can be easily noticed by a headlight of a nearby car when it falls down at night. If the cold weather protection is open against your will, you will notice early because the light reflection processing on the inside shines. If the outside of the cold protection of the walking stick is also subjected to light reflection processing, the light is reflected from any angle and stands out. With this cold protection equipment, you can find it immediately even if you drop the walking stick on a dark night road, and if you are walking using it, you will be pulled out by the car because the presence of the user is noticeable Can be prevented.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment corresponding to claim 1 of the present invention. When opened, light-reflection processing and waterproof processing are applied to the surface of a soft cloth, and a cold protection tool 1 that is a substantially trapezoidal cloth is joined in a tubular shape. A hand is inserted through the tube opening 2. A multi-layered cloth is provided to close the gap between the hand and the inserted hand so that cold air does not enter the cold protection part. The mouth opposite to the cylindrical opening has a structure for fixing a walking stick. The cane mounting hole 4 is provided with a cane fixing string 5 for fixing a cane (not shown) and a cold protection device. By connecting with a stick fixing string, it is possible to fix sticks of various shapes and cold protection. For example, in the case of the walking stick having an L-shaped grip shown in FIG. 5, the back edge of the grip, that is, the outer edge of the L-shaped bent portion contacts the upper end of the stick mounting opening in FIG. Figure 1
Can be easily fixed by tightening the tightening sphere so that the tightening sphere of the stick fixing string is in contact with the stick. FIG.
With the use of the cold protection device described above, the hand holding the grip shown in FIG. 5 is completely wrapped up to the wrist. When the stick of FIG. 5 directs the handle in the vertical direction, that is, when the lower side of the paper surface of FIG. 5 is in the direction of gravity, it is assumed that the cold protection tool falls on the handle. If the vibration or shock during walking is continuously applied to the cold protection equipment, there is a danger that the cold protection equipment will gradually shift from the grip position and fall in the vertical direction without wrapping the handle. In the cold weather protector of the present invention, the displacement prevention material 20 suppresses the fall by increasing the friction with the handle. The displacement prevention material uses a rubber plate. The contact between the surface of the rubber plate and the handle generates resistance to the displacement. As another material for preventing displacement, artificial fur having uniform fur on one side may be used. If the fur is moved downward slightly by arranging the tip of the fur downward, a large friction is generated by the tip of the fur being inverted by contact with the handle. On the other hand, when the warmer moves upward, the friction is reduced by being stroked in the forward direction. Due to the resistance characteristic in the one direction, it is possible to suppress only the downward movement while keeping the upward movement of the winterization gear due to vibration or impact during walking. The stick fixing string 5 is tightened with an appropriate force in order to further enhance the effect of preventing the displacement by contact with the handle. Further, a material such as rubber or felt may be wrapped around the handle portion of the walking stick to improve the friction characteristics with the material for preventing displacement. The hook 6 is used as a starting point for hanging the winterization gear on clothes.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment corresponding to claim 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, when opened, light-reflection processing and waterproof processing are applied to the surface of a soft cloth, and a cold protection device 1 that is a substantially trapezoidal cloth is joined in a tubular shape. A hand is inserted through the tube opening 2. A multi-layered cloth is provided to close the gap between the hand and the inserted hand so that cold air does not enter the cold protection part. The joint part 3 has a magic tape attached and the joint strength is from 1 kilogram weight to 1
It can be adjusted to 0 kilogram weight. The adjustment is performed by the number of contacts of the magic tape. In FIG. 2, the state of the magic tape at the joint is drawn by a total of 17 black lines. A fixing surface for fixing each of the 17 magic tapes is arranged at the joint on the opposite side which is not seen from here. The black lines are arranged in a double pattern, and when all of the double layers are fixed to the opposing fixing surfaces, a fixing force of 10 kg weight is exhibited. That is, it has a fixing force at which the joint is opened when it is spread out from the inside of the cold protection tool with a force of 10 kg or more. If only a part of the magic tape is fixed, for example, only one line, the bonding strength becomes weak. The mouth opposite to the cylindrical opening has a structure for fixing a walking stick.

An example of a method of using the cold protection tool as the cold protection tool for the walking stick shown in FIG. 5 will be described. After fixing the cane of FIG. 2 and the cane, only one row of Velcro is adhered to produce a canteen of 4 kg weight. Then, in order to perform the grip shown in FIG. 5, a hand is inserted through the opening of the cylinder shown in FIG. When walking normally, the stick is squeezed by hand.
And, for example, when the stick is about to fall and the stick is released in a hurry, the weight is applied to the side of the glove, and the joint is opened by the force, and the hand becomes free.

The third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Seventeen magic tapes at the joint 3 replace the magnets in claim 2. An N-pole magnet is arranged on the surface seen from here, and an S-pole magnet is arranged on the joint of the surface not seen from here. The magnets facing each other are joined in the same manner as in claim 2. The joining strength is adjusted according to the number and position of the magnets to be joined. When the joint is a magnet, the magnets that are opposed to each other are attracted and fixed to each other simply by bringing the joint closer again after the joint is once opened. In order to restrict some of the magnets from sticking to each other, it is sufficient to cover the surfaces of the magnets not to be fixed with a cloth.

A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, an opening fixing portion 7 is provided in the cylindrical opening 2 of the cold protection implement 1. This fixed portion is made of a magnet whose opposing portions are an S pole and an N pole.
Other parts are the same as those in FIG. In FIG. 3, the joint 3 is up to two-thirds of the lower edge of the cold weather protection equipment, and the side close to the cane attachment port 4 forms a slit in which the joint is open.

A description will be given of claim 5 of the present invention with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, a pocket 8 is provided inside the cold protection equipment. These pockets hold train tickets, telephone cards, coins, keys, glasses, and other things that you can use for quick access. In particular, glasses can be damaged if handled gently, so storing them in a soft cold weather protector will also help prevent damage. Older people often have hyperopia. The glasses for hyperopia are unnecessary when walking, and are needed when viewing guide boards and documents. Storing such hyperopia glasses in cold weather protection allows them to be taken out and stored immediately in a situation that requires only a short time. As another example of the usage, there is a case where a key for remote control or a controller of a remote controller is put in the pocket and the operation is performed with the winterization equipment on.

A description will be given of claim 6 of the present invention with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, the cold protection equipment 1 includes a hand 101 and a walking stick 100.
The grip 102 is covered. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the cold protection equipment is opened. Since the light reflection processing 9 is applied to the inside of the cold protection equipment and the reflection processing is not applied to the outside, the light reflection processing is visible only when the cold protection equipment is opened. Instead of the light reflection processing, a combination of a light emitting diode and a battery may be used.

As an embodiment of the present invention, in FIG. 4, in addition to generating light inside by combining a light emitting diode, a battery and internal light reflection, light reflection processing is also applied to the outside. The light reflection on the outside has the characteristic of shining with the light of the headlights and street lights of the car, and the light reflection on the inside reflects the light of the light-emitting diode that operates when the joint of the cold protection gear opens when it falls. It has the property of reflecting light. The inner photodiode is normally turned off to extend battery life.

[0017]

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily cope with an emergency. Safety can be ensured without disturbing passive guards when falling. When a pocket is provided, it is convenient because it is possible to store what is to be taken out at once. If light reflection processing is applied to the inside, it is easy to be found in the headlights of the car when the vehicle falls, and a large accident can be prevented.
