Abstract
A pick-up aid on a shaft-like object which can be a crutch or a tool. The pick-up aid is mounted on a shaft of the crutch or on a handle of the tool so as to be pivotable about a bearing axis and to extend along the shaft or handle and comprises an auxiliary grip part with a disc head and a finger arm. The shaft-like object has a preferred direction of falling over, and the pick-up aid is mounted to the shaft-like object such that when it falls over, the disc head will hit the ground and the finger arm will thereby be erected relative to the shaft or handle.
Claims35
A pick-up aid on a shaft-like object which has a shaft or handle and tends to fall over to a preferred direction, comprising:
- an auxiliary grip part comprising a disc head and a finger arm;
- a bearing axis pivotally supporting the auxiliary grip part on the shaft or handle and oriented transversely to the longitudinal extension of the shaft or handle;
- wherein during intended use of the shaft-like object, the finger arm of the auxiliary grip part extends along the shaft or handle of the shaft-like object;
- however, when the shaft-like object falls over and the disc head hits the ground, the finger arm is erected and can be easily gripped.
A crutch in the form of a shaft, in particular having a forearm support or armpit support at a first end and a foot at the second end;
- comprising a pick-up aid which comprises an auxiliary grip part which is pivotable about a bearing axis that is oriented transversely to the shaft of the crutch, and which comprises a disc head and a finger arm, which, when the crutch falls over and the disc head of the crutch hits the ground, can pivot from an orientation parallel to the shaft to a deflected, upward-pointing orientation.
A kit for complementing or retrofitting a crutch with a pick-up aid, comprising:
- an auxiliary grip part comprising a disc head and a finger arm;
- a fastening clamp adapted for being attached to the shaft of a crutch;
- and
- fastening means for mounting the disc head to the crutch for free rotation of the auxiliary grip part.
