Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne des cannes de marche type cannes anglaises transformables en béquilles orthopédiques. The present invention relates to walking sticks of the English stick type which can be transformed into orthopedic crutches.
Les cannes anglaises classiques obligent l'avant bras à se maintenir dans le prolongement de la poignée, ce qui n'est pas la position anatomique normale pour marcher en utilisant 2 points d'appui, et a pour effet de provoquer une fatigue supplémentaire. The classic English canes force the forearm to be maintained in the extension of the handle, which is not the normal anatomical position for walking using 2 support points, and has the effect of causing additional fatigue.
Les béquilles traditionnelles n'ont que deux appuis et supportent en grande partie le poids du corps en appuyant sous l'aisselle, ce qui est gênant car cela comprime les nerfs et l'artère axillaire passant dans le creux de l'aisselle. Traditional crutches have only two supports and largely support the weight of the body by pressing under the armpit, which is annoying because it compresses the nerves and the axillary artery passing through the hollow of the armpit.
Les dispositifs selon l'invention permettent de remédier à ces inconvènients. The devices according to the invention make it possible to remedy these drawbacks.
La nouvelle canne anglaise n'oblige pas le bras à se maintenir raide dans le prolongement de la poignée ; il est légèrement fléchi vers l'extèrieur ce qui permet à l'avant bras d'exercer une pression plus importante sur son point d'appui, ceci soulageant le point d'appui main, d'où une moins grande fatigue. The new English rod does not force the arm to be kept stiff in the extension of the handle; it is slightly bent outwards which allows the forearm to exert greater pressure on its support point, this relieving the hand support point, resulting in less fatigue.
Du fait du décentrage vers l'extèrieur de ce point d'appui avant bras par rapport à l'axe de la poignée, cette dernière se trouve ainsi plus près du corps, ce qui procure une plus grande stabilité. Due to the decentering towards the outside of this forearm support point relative to the axis of the handle, the latter is thus closer to the body, which provides greater stability.
Ces cannes anglaises sont rapidement transformables en béquilles à trois points d'appui qui répartissent bien le poids du corps et donnent à ces dernières un confort que n'ont pas les béquilles traditionnelles. These English rods are quickly convertible into crutches with three support points that distribute the body weight well and give them a comfort that traditional crutches do not have.
L'appui anatomique sous l'aisselle constitué de deux boudins en mousse souple appuie à l'avant sur le muscle grand pectoral et à l'arrière sur le sous scapulaire pour laisser le creux axillaire dégagé. The anatomical support under the armpit consisting of two flexible foam tubes supports the front on the pectoralis major muscle and the back on the scapular to leave the axillary hollow released.
Cet appui peut être monté sur ressort ou bloc souple. This support can be mounted on a spring or flexible block.
Dans une variante plus simplifiée le corps de la canne est tout droit, et est dans le prolongement du tube bas qui se règle en longueur en rentrant dans le haut de la canne ; il en est ainsi du tube supportant l'appui sous l'aisselle qui rentre lui-même dans le tube bas de la canne. In a more simplified variant the body of the cane is straight, and is an extension of the bottom tube which is adjusted in length by entering the top of the cane; this is the case for the tube supporting the support under the armpit which itself enters the bottom tube of the cane.
Ces deux tubes ayant les mêmes perforations, une seule fixation suffit pour effectuer leur réglage.These two tubes having the same perforations, a single fixing suffices to effect their adjustment.
- La figure 1 représente en vue de face une canne anglaise. - Figure 1 shows a front view of an English cane.
- La figure 2 représente la même canne transformée en béquille en vue de gauche. - Figure 2 shows the same cane transformed into a crutch in left view.
- La figure 3 représente en vue de face une canne anglaise rectiligne. - Figure 3 shows a front view of a straight English rod.
La figure 4 représente cette même canne transformée en béquille en vue de gauche. Figure 4 shows the same cane turned into a crutch when viewed from the left.
La canne anglaise fig. 1 représente une forme de réalisation de l'invention. Cette vue de face montre l'angle (4) décalé vers l'extèrieur de l'axe (3) de l'avant bras (1) par rapport à l'axe (2) de la canne ou au prolongement vertical de l'axe (5) de la poignée (6). English cane fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention. This front view shows the angle (4) offset towards the outside of the axis (3) of the forearm (1) relative to the axis (2) of the rod or to the vertical extension of the axis (5) of the handle (6).
Sur la figure 2 nous voyons cette canne transformée en béquille orthopédique par l'adjonction de l'appui sous l'aisselle (7) constitué d'un V avec à chaque extrémité des boudins en mousse qui laissent un évidement (8) en face du creux axillaire de l'aisselle. In Figure 2 we see this cane transformed into an orthopedic crutch by the addition of the support under the armpit (7) consisting of a V with foam ends at each end which leave a recess (8) opposite the axillary hollow of the armpit.
La figure 3 représente une variante simplifiée de cette canne anglaise dont le corps (ll) est aligné sur le tube bas (14). Elle ne comporte de ce fait qu'un seul axe rectiligne (13). FIG. 3 represents a simplified variant of this English rod, the body (ll) of which is aligned with the bottom tube (14). It therefore has only one straight axis (13).
Sur la figure 4 est représenté cette canne rectiligne transformée en béquille dont l'appui sous l'aisselle (7) est monté sur ressort (12). In Figure 4 is shown this straight rod transformed into a stand whose support under the armpit (7) is mounted on a spring (12).
Le tube bas (14) qui rentre dans le corps de la canne (ll) se règle avec le même clip (10) que le tube (9) de la béquille. Ces tubes rentrent l'un dans l'autre avec les mêmes perforations. The low tube (14) which enters the body of the rod (ll) is adjusted with the same clip (10) as the tube (9) of the stand. These tubes fit into each other with the same perforations.
