Abstract
A appendage cramp relief device for aiding in the relief of cramps in the appendages of the user during extended medical treatment sessions. The appendage cramp relief device includes a base which is designed for resting on a support surface, a stanchion upwardly extending from a top of the base such that the stanchion is centered on the top of the base thus the base provides support for the stanchion, and an appendage pad which is adjustably coupled to an upper end of the stanchion such that the appendage pad is designed to adjust to a height proximate to the appendage of the user thus the user can press the appendage against the appendage pad to relieve cramping.
Claims5
An appendage cramp relief device for allowing a dialysis patient to press an appendage against to relieve a cramp, said appendage cramp relief device comprising:
- a base being adapted for resting on a support surface;
- a stanchion upwardly extending from a top of said base such that said stanchion is centered on said top of said base whereby said base provides support for said stanchion;
- an appendage pad being adjustably coupled to an upper end of said stanchion such that said appendage pad is adapted to adjust to a height proximate to the appendage of the user whereby the user can press the appendage against said appendage pad to relieve cramping;
- said base has a wheel slot extending through a perimeter wall of said base;
- and
- a wheel being rotatably coupled to said perimeter wall of said base such that said wheel is positioned within said wheel slot whereby said base can be tipped onto said wheel and wheeled to a new position, said perimeter wall being positioned on opposing sides of said wheel such that said perimeter wall inhibits contact with said wheel for inhibiting said wheel from being damaged, said wheel being aligned with a longitudinal axis of said stanchion for balancing the weight of said base, said stanchion and said appendage pad over said wheel for facilitating steering when said base is tipped and wheeled to the new position.
An appendage cramp relief device for allowing a dialysis patient to press an appendage against to relieve a cramp, said appendage cramp relief device comprising:
- a base being adapted for resting on a support surface;
- a stanchion upwardly extending from a top of said base such that said stanchion is centered on said top of said base whereby said base provides support for said stanchion;
- an appendage pad being adjustably coupled to an upper end of said stanchion such that said appendage pad is adapted to adjust to a height proximate to the appendage of the user whereby the user can press the appendage against said appendage pad to relieve cramping;
- said base has a wheel slot extending through a perimeter wall of said base;
- a wheel being rotatably coupled to said perimeter wall of said base such that said wheel is positioned within said wheel slot whereby said base can be tipped onto said wheel and wheeled to a new position;
- said wheel has a wheel locking assembly coupled to said wheel such that said wheel locking assembly is selectively engagable to prevent said wheel from rotating whereby said base is prevented from being moved on said wheel;
- a pair of latching assemblies each being coupled to a side of said appendage pad such that each of said latching assemblies extends through said side of said appendage pad for releasably engaging a plurality of detents in opposing sides of said stanchion whereby said latching assemblies permit adjustment of the height of said appendage pad in relation to said base;
- and
- said appendage pad has an outer covering and an interior frame, said interior frame being for receiving a portion of said stanchion, said covering being coupled to said interior frame such that a padding is positioned between said interior frame and said covering for providing soft surface for the user to push the appendage against.
