Description

Medical staff

The present invention relates to a medical auxiliary product, in particular to a medical staff.

Known crutches are suitable for assisting the elderly or patients with limited mobility when walking. The crutch usually includes a main body, a handle connected to the top of the main body for holding, and a support body connected to the bottom of the main body for supporting the ground. The crutch is generally designed for a single function and does not have the function of being retractable to suit users of different heights, nor does it have other functions such as carrying luggage, hanging packages, sliding movement, etc. In addition, the elderly or patients with limited mobility may need to sit down and take a rest after walking for a long time. At this time, if the crutch can be transformed into a temporary chair in time, it will be a great blessing for the elderly and patients with limited mobility. Therefore, there is a real need to develop a multifunctional crutch to benefit the elderly and patients with limited mobility so that they need to carry fewer items when going out.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a medical stick that can overcome at least one shortcoming of the prior art.

Therefore, the novel medical staff includes a support body, a lower rod body, a shaft rod, an upper rod body, and a grip body.

The supporting body comprises a plurality of legs which can be folded into a cylindrical shape and extend outward, and a plurality of rollers which are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the legs and can be folded upward or stand downward on the ground.

The lower rod body is installed on the supporting body and comprises a lower rod component and a plurality of first lower clamping components which are arranged at intervals up and down around the lower rod component.

The shaft is fixed to the lower rod body in an upward and downwardly movable manner, and comprises a rod, a second lower clamping member arranged at the bottom of the rod, and a second upper clamping member arranged at the top of the rod. The second lower clamping member can be combined with one of the first lower clamping members of different heights, so that the rod can be fixed at different heights of the lower rod.

The upper rod body is fixed to the shaft rod in a manner that it can move up and down, and includes an upper rod, a plurality of first upper clamping members arranged at intervals up and down on the periphery of the upper rod, and a plurality of hooks arranged at intervals along the periphery of the upper rod. One of the first upper clamping members of different heights can be combined with the second upper clamping member, so that the upper rod can be fixed at different heights relative to the rod. The hooks can be retracted upwards on the periphery of the upper rod or spread outwards in an inclined manner.

The grip body is connected to the top of the upper rod body and can be gripped.

The utility model has the following advantages: since the shaft can be fixed at different heights of the lower rod, and the upper rod can be fixed at different heights relative to the shaft, the height of the medical staff can be adjusted to accommodate users of different heights. Furthermore, through the design of the hooks, the medical staff can also be used to hang packages when assisting walking. Furthermore, through the design of the footrests and rollers, the user can slide the medical staff.

Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, an embodiment of the novel medical staff comprises a support body 1, a lower rod body 2, a shaft rod 3, an upper rod body 4, and a grip body 5. The support body 1 comprises three legs 11 which can be folded into a solid cylinder and extend outward, and three rollers 12 which are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the legs 11 and can be folded upward or stand on the ground downward. Each roller 12 has a wheel body 121 and a universal joint 122 which is hidden in the corresponding leg 11 and connects the wheel body 121 and the corresponding leg 11. The universal joint 122 allows the wheel body 121 to be folded upward to the corresponding bottom end of the tripod 11 (as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 3 , so the rollers 12 are not visible in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 ), or to protrude downward from the bottom end of the tripod 11 to stand on the ground and roll (as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7 ).

It should be noted that the number of the legs 11 and the rollers 12 is not limited to three, and in other variations of the present embodiment, the number of the legs 11 and the rollers 12 may be four or five, depending on actual needs.

Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, the lower rod 2 is installed on the support body 1 with its bottom portion passing through the inner side of the top of the support body 1. The lower rod 2 includes a lower rod 21, three first lower clamping members 22 arranged at intervals up and down around the lower rod 21, and three receiving brackets 23 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the lower rod 21 and staggered with the first lower clamping members 22. The lower rod 21 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The receiving brackets 23 can be folded upward (as shown in Fig. 4) around the lower rod 21 or unfolded outward (as shown in Fig. 1) to receive the simple wrapped luggage.

It should be noted that the number of the first lower clamping members 22 is not limited to three, and may be two, four, five or more, depending on the actual length of the lower rod 21 extending up and down. The number of the receiving brackets 23 is also not limited to three, and may be two, four, five or more, and may be changed according to actual needs.

The shaft 3 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the lower rod 2 so as to be displaceable up and down, and includes a rod 31, a second lower clamping member 32 disposed at the bottom of the rod 31, a second upper clamping member 33 disposed at the top of the rod 31, and a first connecting member 34 disposed at the top of the rod 31. The rod 31 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The second lower clamping member 32 can be combined with one of the first lower clamping members 22 at different heights, so that the rod 31 can be fixed at different heights of the lower rod 21. In FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the second lower clamping member 32 is combined with the topmost first lower clamping member 22 , but when in use, the second lower clamping member 32 may also be combined with the middle or bottommost first lower clamping member 22 , so that the portion of the rod 31 penetrating into the lower rod 21 is increased, thereby reducing the height of the shaft 3 and the lower rod body 2 combined together.

The upper rod body 4 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the shaft rod 3 so as to be displaceable up and down, and includes an upper rod 41, three first upper clamping members 42 arranged at intervals up and down on the periphery of the upper rod 41, and two hooks 43 arranged at intervals along the periphery of the upper rod 41 and staggered with the first upper clamping members 42. The upper rod 41 is a hollow cylindrical structure. One of the first upper clamping members 42 of different heights can be combined with the second upper clamping member 33, so that the upper rod 41 can be fixed at different heights relative to the rod 31. In FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the bottom first upper clamping member 42 is combined with the second upper clamping member 33 , but when in use, the top or middle first upper clamping member 42 may also be combined with the second upper clamping member 33 , so that the portion of the upper rod 41 sleeved outside the rod 31 is increased, thereby lowering the height of the upper rod body 4 and the shaft 3 combined together.

In FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the second lower clamping member 32 is combined with the uppermost first lower clamping member 22, and the second upper clamping member 33 is combined with the lowermost first upper clamping member 42, so the embodiment is located at a highest position. The hooks 43 can be folded upward (as shown in FIG. 4 ) around the upper rod 41 or tilted outward (as shown in FIG. 1 ) to hook light luggage or packages. The hooks 43 are generally located above the receiving brackets 23. When the luggage or packages hooked by the hooks 43 are large in size, the receiving brackets 23 can assist in supporting the luggage or packages from below.

It should be noted that the number of the first upper clamping members 42 is not limited to three, and may be two, four, five or more depending on the actual length of the upper rod 41 extending up and down. The number of the hooks 43 is also not limited to two, and may be one, three or more, and may be changed according to actual needs.

Referring to FIG. 2 , each of the first lower clamping members 22 has a pair of lower recessed holes 221 defined by the lower rod 21 and arranged at intervals at angles around the lower rod 21. The second lower clamping member 32 has a lower spring 321 arranged inside the rod 31 and having both ends resting against the inside of the rod 31 at intervals at angles, and a pair of lower protrusions 322 respectively connected to both ends of the lower spring 321 and protruding from the bottom periphery of the rod 31. The lower spring 321 is generally in an inverted V shape. The lower protrusions 322 can be separately engaged with the lower recessed holes 221 at one height. Each of the first upper clamping members 42 has a pair of upper recessed holes 421 defined by the upper rod 41 and arranged at intervals at angles on the periphery of the upper rod 41. The second upper clamping member 33 has an upper spring sheet 331 arranged inside the rod 31 and having both ends resting against the inside of the rod 31 at intervals at angles, and a pair of upper protrusions 332 respectively connected to both ends of the upper spring sheet 331 and protruding from the periphery of the top of the rod 31. The upper spring sheet 331 is generally V-shaped. The upper protrusions 332 can be separately engaged in the upper recessed holes 421 at one height.

When the height of the embodiment is to be adjusted, the lower protrusions 322 can be pressed from the outer side of the lower rod 2 to disengage the lower protrusions 322 from the corresponding lower recesses 221, so that the shaft 3 can move up and down on the inner side of the lower rod 2 relative to the lower rod 2. The lower protrusions 322 will move with the shaft 3 to the adjacent lower recesses 221. 1, at this time, the lower protrusions 322 will naturally combine with the adjacent lower concave holes 221 due to the elastic effect of the lower spring sheet 321, so the height of the shaft 3 and the lower rod 2 combined together changes. The user can repeatedly press the lower protrusions 322 to repeat the above steps until the shaft 3 and the lower rod 2 are combined at a suitable height. Similarly, the user can also change the height of the upper rod 4 and the shaft 3 by pressing the upper protrusions 332. The user can adjust the height of the upper rod 4 and the shaft 3, and the height of the shaft 3 and the lower rod 2 at the same time, or only adjust one of them. The user can adjust the application according to actual needs.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the grip body 5 is connected to the periphery of the top of the upper rod body 4 for the user to hold, and includes two grip plates 51 spaced at an angle and capable of swinging. The grip plates 51 can be folded and positioned in contact with each other (as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 ) for the user to hold, or unfolded and positioned horizontally (as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 ) for the user to sit on. The mechanism of the grip plates 51 unfolding and positioning horizontally in opposite directions is well known, so it will not be described here in detail. Each grip plate 51 has a pivot portion 511 connected to the upper rod body 4, a plate portion 512 connected to the pivot portion 511, and a support portion 513 connected to the plate portion 512 and capable of being mutually supported when folded. The plate body 512 is a thin plate structure that is roughly trapezoidal. The plate body 512 defines a grip hole 514 at the top for gripping, and a hole 515 at the bottom. The plate body 512 has three protrusions 516 extending toward the hole 515, and the protrusions 516 can be used by the user to hook objects. The support portion 513 is roughly semi-cylindrical, and the support portions 513 can be combined into a cylinder when the grip plates 51 touch and fold to facilitate gripping.

It should be noted that the number of the protrusions 516 is not limited to three, and may be two, four or more, and may be changed according to actual needs. The connection between the gripping plates 51 and the upper rod 4 is not limited to a hinged connection.

Referring to Figures 1, 5 and 6, the embodiment has three usage states. The first usage state is shown in Figure 1, but is not limited to that shown in the figure, and is used as a crutch. In this usage state, the grip plates 51 touch each other and fold together to facilitate the user's grip. The user can pass the four fingers other than the thumb through the grip holes 514 together, and lean the thumb on the leaning parts 513 to facilitate grip. The legs 11 can be folded inward into a cylinder, or extended outward into a shape similar to a tripod, without affecting its supporting function. The user can fold or unfold the hooks 43, the receiving brackets 23, and the rollers 12 according to actual needs. The user can also adjust the height of the embodiment according to different heights, and it does not have to be in the highest position as shown in the figure.

The second usage state is shown in Figures 5 and 6, and it can be used as a seat. In this usage state, the grip plates 51 are unfolded back to back and positioned horizontally for the user to sit on. The hooks 43 and the receiving brackets 23 are preferably folded upward. The legs 11 are preferably extended outward to provide sufficient support. The user can choose to fold the rollers 12 upward or unfold them downward according to actual needs. The user can also adjust the height of the embodiment according to the riding needs, and it does not have to be in a lowest position as shown in the figure, that is, the lower protrusions 322 are respectively combined with the lower recessed holes 221 at the bottom, and the upper protrusions 332 are respectively combined with the upper recessed holes 421 at the top.

Referring to FIG. 7 , the third use state of the embodiment is suitable for providing an IV stand 9, and the IV stand 9 includes a second connector 91 at the bottom end that can be combined with the first connector 34 of the shaft 3. When the grip plates 51 are unfolded in opposite directions, the first connector 34 can be combined with the second connector 91 to fix the IV stand 9 to the shaft 31. The first connector 34 and the second connector 91 can be mutually screwed structures as shown in the figure, but are not limited to this. In this use state, the grip plates 51 must be unfolded in opposite directions. The user can fold or unfold the hooks 43, the receiving brackets 23, and the rollers 12 according to actual needs, and adjust the height of the embodiment. The appropriate height includes or is between the highest position and the lowest position.

In summary, since the shaft 3 can be fixed at different heights of the lower rod 2, and the upper rod 4 can be fixed at different heights relative to the shaft 3, the height of the new medical staff can be adjusted to accommodate users of different heights. Furthermore, through the design of the hooks 43, the medical staff can also be hooked with packages when assisting walking. Furthermore, through the design of the footrests 11 and the rollers 12, the user can slide the medical staff, so the purpose of the new device can be achieved.

The novel medical staff is designed that the grip plates 51 can be folded together or unfolded together, so that the medical staff can be used to assist the user in walking, can be transformed into a chair, and can even be used to set the IV stand 9. It truly integrates multiple functions in one, so it can truly achieve the purpose of the novel device.

However, the above is only an example of the implementation of the present invention, and it cannot be used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the content of the patent specification are still within the scope of the present patent.
