Abstract
A crutch includes an arm rest having an elbow end and a front end, the front end defining a front face having a first opening formed therein, and a bottom edge forming a second opening. The crutch has a handle extending outwardly from the front end of the arm rest, but not from the first or second openings. A leg is received into one of the first and second openings in a first configuration, and into the other of the first and second openings in a second configuration. The leg is selectively convertible between the first and second configuration.
Claims20
A main body for a crutch, comprising:
- an arm rest, comprising a first and a second opening formed therein;
- the first opening extending along a horizontal axis substantially parallel with the arm rest;
- and the second opening extending along a generally vertical axis, the generally vertical axis intersecting the horizontal axis;
- wherein:
- the main body is configured to selectively receive a leg into one of the first and second openings in the arm rest in a first configuration;
- and
- the main body is configured to selectively receive the leg into the other of the first and second openings in the arm rest in a second configuration.
A main body for a crutch, comprising:
- a first section having a tubular opening at a distal end thereof for receiving a leg;
- a second section extending from a proximal end of the first section at an angle;
- a third section extending substantially horizontally from a proximal end of the second section;
- and
- an arm rest support comprising an elbow cup and an open end longitudinally separated from the elbow cup, the arm rest support being configured to support a user's forearm between an elbow and a wrist by extending substantially between the elbow and the wrist at an underside thereof, wherein the elbow cup supports the user's elbow and the open end is generally adjacent the user's wrist when the crutch is in use;
- wherein the first, second, and third sections are integrally formed of a single piece of material.
A main body for a crutch, comprising:
- a first section having a tubular opening at a distal end thereof for receiving a leg;
- a second section extending from a proximal end of the first section at an angle;
- a third section extending substantially horizontally from a proximal end of the second section;
- and
- a cradle hingedly secured to the third section, the cradle having an elbow end and an open end longitudinally spaced apart from the elbow end, the open end being substantially adjacent the proximal end of the second section in a use configuration;
- wherein:
- the first, second, and third sections are integrally formed of a single piece of material.
