Description

  The present invention relates to a storage unit, a walking stick, and a walking stick to which the storage unit is attached.

  Conventionally, elderly people and persons with disabilities who have difficulty walking often use walking sticks (canes) to assist walking. Since a user of such a walking stick has one hand blocked by using a cane, both hands are blocked by holding the baggage or the like with the other hand. Therefore, it becomes difficult to cope with situations such as falling, and walking when carrying out luggage and going out has been dangerous for the user of the walking stick.

  Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses a cane bag that can be detachably attached to a stick. By adopting this configuration, the user of the walking stick is free to use one hand even when there is baggage, so that safe walking is possible.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-76330

  However, since the cane bag described in Patent Document 1 is used by being attached to a stick, it is necessary to carry the stick even when the stick is not used, and it is difficult to store the stick.

  In view of the circumstances as described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a walking stick with a storage portion that can store a walking stick.

In order to achieve the above object, a walking stick with a storage portion according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a walking stick and a storage portion attached to the walking stick and having a storage space therein.
The storage unit has a storage unit that stores the walking stick, which is different from the storage space.

According to the above configuration, the storage unit includes the storage unit that stores the stick. Thereby, an accommodating part can accommodate a walking stick.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a walking stick with a storage portion that can store a walking stick.

  The walking stick may have a grip portion, and the housing portion may house the grip portion.

  According to this structure, since the accommodating part can accommodate a grip part, space saving of a stick with an accommodating part can be achieved. In addition, since the grip portion is housed, it is difficult to be recognized as a walking stick (cane), so it is possible to improve the appearance performance.

  The walking stick may have a shaft portion with a variable length, and the housing portion may house the shaft portion in a shortened state.

  According to this structure, since the accommodating part can accommodate the axial part of a shortened state, space saving of a stick with an accommodating part can be achieved. In addition, since the shortened shaft portion is accommodated, it is difficult to be recognized as a walking stick (cane), and thus appearance performance can be improved.

  The storage unit may have a hanging string, and the hanging string may be drawn out when in use and wound up when not in use.

  According to this structure, it is possible to use a stick with a storage part as a stick without being hindered by a hanging strap. Moreover, since a storage part can have a strap, a user can also use a walking stick with a storage part as a bag.

  In order to achieve the above object, a storage unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is used for the walking stick with the storage unit.

The storage unit can be provided on the stick to provide the storage unit with the storage unit.

  FIG. 21 shows a state where the user is using the container 100 with a stick function as a bag with the hanging strap 118 on the shoulder.

  FIG. 22 is a front view showing a state when the stick 130 is extended, and FIG. 23 is a side view showing a state when the stick 130 is extended. In FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, the hidden and invisible part of the stick 130 is displayed with a dotted line.

  Here, when the shaft 131 of the walking stick 130 is in the shortened state as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, when the operation unit 134 provided on the grip 132 is operated by the user, the shaft 131 is moved. It extends downward from the storage section 110 and is in a state as shown in FIGS.

  The length of the walking stick 130 is set such that the entire length when the shaft portion 131 is most extended is, for example, 80 cm to 100 cm.

  The storage portion 110 is configured to be movable along the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the shaft portion 131 with respect to the shaft portion 131 of the stick 130 (see arrows in FIGS. 22 and 23). Specifically, the storage unit 110 is configured to be movable between the uppermost position and the lowermost position with respect to the extended stick 130 and is predetermined in the longitudinal direction with respect to the stick 130. It is configured to be fixable at the position. As a mechanism for enabling the storage unit 110 to be movable and fixed with respect to the stick 130, for example, a mechanism using the latch pin 40 and the pin receiving unit 24 shown in FIG. 9 is used.

  22 and 23 show a state where the storage unit 110 is fixed at the uppermost position. When the storage part 110 is located at the uppermost position, the grip part 132 is stored in the grip part storage part 117 of the storage part 110. On the other hand, when the storage part 110 is located at the lowest position, three points (or four points including the stone thrusting part 133) by the leg part 113 and the two wheels 114 provided in the storage part 110 contact the ground. To do. Thereby, even if the walking stick 130 is extended, the walking stick 130 can be kept stable and independent.

  When the storage body 100 with the stick function is used as a stick, the storage portion 110 is positioned at the uppermost position as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, or an intermediate position between the uppermost position and the lowermost position. The storage part 110 is positioned in the upper part.

  When the walking stick 130 is used, the grip portion 132 is gripped by the user, but in the present embodiment, the grip portion 132 is formed in a half-moon shape, so that the user can easily grip the grip portion 132. In the present embodiment, when the user uses the walking stick 130, it is assumed that the palm is placed on the upper surface of the grip portion 132, and the grip portion 132 is held such that the arc portion of the grip portion 132 is gripped by a finger.

  Since the grip part 132 according to the present embodiment has a half-moon shape and has a large area in the XY plane, the burden on the palm of the user when the user pushes the stick 130 with the grip part 132 is distributed. Can be made. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user's hand from getting tired.

  Here, when the storage part 110 is located at the uppermost position, the grip part 132 is stored in the grip part storage part 117, and the position of the upper surface of the grip part 132 and the position of the upper surface on the right side of the storage part main body 111 are determined. Match. At this time, the half moon on the upper surface of the grip portion 132 and the half moon on the upper right surface of the storage portion main body 111 form an integrated circle as a whole.

  In this case, the user can place a palm on the integrally formed circle and grasp the arc portion of the grip portion 132 with a finger. Thereby, since the area of the part which puts a palm becomes still larger, the effect which prevents that a user's hand gets tired becomes still higher.

  When the storage unit 110 is positioned at the lowermost position, the user can use the storage body 100 with the stick function as a carryback. In this case, the user grips the grip part 132 of the extended stick 130 and tilts the container 100 with a stick function to the back side. At this time, if the leg 113 is separated from the ground and the two wheels 114 are in contact with the ground, and the user pulls the container 100 with a stick function toward the back side, it can be used as a carry back.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the shaft portion 131 and the wheel 114 of the walking stick 130 are arranged on the same side (back side) in the front-rear direction (X-axis direction). Therefore, compared with the case where the shaft portion 131 and the wheel 114 of the walking stick 130 are arranged on the opposite side in the front-rear direction, the user can stably pull the storage body 100 with the walking function like a carry-back. .

  The transmission mechanism 152 has a first rotating member 154 that comes into contact with a protrusion 134b provided on the operation unit 134 on one end side, and a first end that biases the other end side of the first rotating member 154 upward. The urging member 155 is provided. Further, the transmission mechanism 152 has, on one end side thereof, a second rotation member 156 that rotatably holds one end side of the first locking pin 151, and the other end side of the second rotation member 156. And a second urging member 157 that urges outward in the centrifugal direction.

  Further, the transmission mechanism 152 includes a wire 158 that connects the other end side of the first rotating member 154 and the other end side of the second rotating member 156, and three rollers 159, 160, and 161 on which the wire 158 is hung. have.

  The first rotation member 154 is a rod-shaped member, and is configured to be rotatable about a Y-axis direction axis provided in the center portion as a central axis. The first urging member 155 is composed of an elastic body such as a spring or rubber, for example.

  When the operation unit 134 is not operated, the first biasing member 155 biases the other end side of the first rotating member 154 upward, so that the operation unit 134 has the first biasing force. The member 155 is biased downward by one end side. Therefore, in a state where the operation unit 134 is not operated, the operation unit 134 is located at the lower position.

  The grip portion 132 has a hollow portion 162 inside, and the first rotating member 154, the first biasing member 155, and the two rollers 159 and 160 are disposed in the hollow portion 162.

  Similar to the first rotation member 154, the second rotation member 156 is a rod-shaped member, and is configured to be rotatable about the axis in the Y-axis direction provided in the central portion. Similarly to the first urging member 155, the second urging member 157 is configured by an elastic body such as a spring or rubber, for example.

  When the operation unit 134 is not operated, the second urging member 157 urges the other end side of the second rotating member 156 toward the outside in the centrifugal direction. Is biased toward the inside in the centrifugal direction by one end side of the second biasing member 157. Therefore, in a state where the operation unit 134 is not operated, the first locking pin 151 is located at an inner position (lock position) in the centrifugal direction.

  The wire 158 is made of a material having a necessary strength such as metal or fiber. A tube portion 163 for passing the wire 158 along the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the shaft portion 131 is provided outside the outer shaft 135, and the wire 158 is passed through the inside of the tube portion 163. The

  The second locking pin 153 is fixed to the distal end side of the leaf spring portion 153 a attached to the inner wall portion of the innermost shaft 137. The leaf spring portion 153a is formed so that the position in the vicinity of the center is bent, and biases the second locking pin 153 toward the outside in the centrifugal direction.

  In this embodiment, the force with which the first locking pin 151 is biased toward the inside in the centrifugal direction is greater than the force with which the second locking pin 153 is biased toward the outside in the centrifugal direction. These urging forces are set so as to be stronger.

  A first insertion hole 171 for inserting the first locking pin 151 is formed in the lower portion of the outer shaft 135. Further, on the upper part of the inner shaft 136, a first locking that fits with the first locking pin 151 in a state where the inner shaft 136 is located at the lowest position with respect to the outer shaft 135 (extension state). A hole 172 is formed. Further, the inner shaft 136 is fitted to the first locking pin 151 in a state where the inner shaft 136 is positioned at the uppermost position with respect to the outer shaft 135 (shortened state), and the innermost shaft A second locking hole 173 that fits with the second locking pin 153 is formed in a state (extended state) where 137 is positioned at the lowest position with respect to the inner shaft 136.

  In addition, a second insertion hole 174 through which the second locking pin 153 is inserted is formed in the upper part of the innermost shaft 137. Further, the innermost shaft 137 is fitted in the lower portion of the innermost shaft 137 with the first locking pin 151 in a state where the innermost shaft 137 is located at the uppermost position with respect to the inner shaft 136 (and the outer shaft 135). A mating third locking hole 175 is formed.

  Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the inner shaft 136, a plurality of locking grooves 176 (four in the example shown in the figure, not penetrating) that can be fitted to the first locking pins 151 are arranged in the longitudinal direction (Z-axis). Are formed at predetermined intervals along the direction). These locking grooves 176 are formed between the first locking hole 172 and the second locking hole 173.

[Description of operation]
Next, an operation when the shaft portion 131 of the walking stick 130 expands and contracts according to the operation of the operation portion 134 will be described. FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating a state when the operation unit 134 is operated in a state where the shaft portion 131 of the walking stick 130 is shortened. FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating a state where the shaft portion 131 of the walking stick 130 has the longest length. FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating a state when the length of the shaft portion 131 of the walking stick 130 is adjusted. FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating a state where the shaft portion 131 of the walking stick 130 is shortened.

  Referring to FIG. 25, it is assumed that the operation unit 134 is moved upward by the user by operating the operation unit 134 in a state where the shaft portion 131 of the walking stick 130 is shortened. In this case, the first rotating member 154 rotates counterclockwise, and the wire 158 is pulled upward in accordance with this rotation. When the wire 158 is pulled upward, the second rotating member 156 rotates clockwise, and in response thereto, the first locking pin 151 moves outward in the centrifugal direction. As a result, the first locking pin 151 moves from the locked position to the released position, and the locked state among the outer shaft 135, the inner shaft 136, and the innermost shaft 137 is released.

  When the locked state of the innermost shaft 137 is released, the innermost shaft 137 moves downward relative to the inner shaft 136 by the biasing force of the second elastic member 141. When the innermost shaft 137 is moved to the lowest position with respect to the inner shaft 136, the second top plate 137 a provided on the innermost shaft 137 is moved to the fourth protrusion 145 provided on the inner shaft 136. It abuts and the innermost shaft 137 is restricted from moving further downward. At this time, the second locking pin 153 provided on the innermost shaft 137 is fitted into the second locking hole 173 provided on the inner shaft 136 (see FIG. 26). As a result, the inner shaft 136 and the innermost shaft 137 are locked in the longitudinal direction.

  When the locked state of the inner shaft 136 is released, the inner shaft 136 moves downward with respect to the outer shaft 135 by the biasing force of the first elastic member 140. When the inner shaft 136 is moved to the lowest position with respect to the outer shaft 135, the first top plate 136 a provided on the inner shaft 136 comes into contact with the second protrusion 143 provided on the outer shaft 135. The inner shaft 136 is restricted from moving downward further. At this time, the first locking pin 151 provided on the outer shaft 135 is fitted into the first locking hole 172 provided on the inner shaft 136 (see FIG. 26). Thereby, the outer shaft 135 and the inner shaft 136 are locked in the longitudinal direction.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 26, each shaft is locked with the shaft portion 131 of the walking stick 130 extended most. When the length of the stick 130 needs to be adjusted, the user operates the operation unit 134 again to move the first locking pin 151 from the lock position to the release position, and the outer shaft 135 and the inner shaft 136 are moved. Release the locked state. When the user pushes the grip portion 132 of the walking stick 130 from above with the palm of the hand, the inner shaft 136 moves upward with respect to the outer shaft 135 while the locked state of the inner shaft 136 and the innermost shaft 137 is maintained.

  When the first locking pin 151 moves to the position of the uppermost locking groove 176, the first locking pin 151 is fitted into the locking groove 176, whereby the outer shaft 135 and the inner shaft 136 is again locked. If the stick 130 still feels long at this point, the user repeats the same operation again.

  On the other hand, when the user feels that the stick 130 has been shortened too much, the user may operate the operation unit 134 without pressing the grip unit 132 from above with the palm of the hand. In this case, since the inner shaft 136 moves downward relative to the outer shaft 135 by the elastic force of the first elastic member 140, the shaft portion 131 of the stick 130 can be lengthened. FIG. 27 shows a state where the first locking pin 151 is fitted in the second locking groove 176 from the top.

  When the user stores the walking stick 130 in the shortened state in the housing section of the housing section 110, the user operates the operation section 134 to release the locked state of the outer shaft 135 and the inner shaft 136, and then the grip section 132 of the walking stick 130. Press from the top with the palm of your hand.

  28, when the inner shaft 136 is moved to the uppermost position with respect to the outer shaft 135, the first top plate 136a provided on the inner shaft 136 is changed to the first top plate 136a provided on the outer shaft 135. 1 abuts against the protrusion 142, and the inner shaft 136 is restricted from moving further upward. At this time, as shown in FIG. 28, the position of the first locking pin 151 coincides with the position of the second locking pin 153 (at this time, the user releases the operation unit 134).

  As described above, the force with which the first locking pin 151 is urged toward the inner side in the centrifugal direction is stronger than the force with which the second locking pin 153 is urged toward the outer side in the centrifugal direction. These urging forces are set so that Therefore, when the position of the first locking pin 151 and the position of the second locking pin 153 coincide with each other, the urging force of the first locking pin 151 causes the second locking pin 153 to move inward in the centrifugal direction. Move towards.

  As a result, the second locking pin 153 moves from the locked position to the released position, and the locked state of the inner shaft 136 and the innermost shaft 137 is released. At this time, since the first locking pin 151 is fitted into the second locking hole 173 in the inner shaft 136, the outer shaft 135 and the inner shaft 136 are locked.

  Even after the lock state of the inner shaft 136 and the innermost shaft 137 is released, the user continues to push the grip portion 132 from above with the palm. Accordingly, the innermost shaft 137 moves upward with respect to the inner shaft 136. When the innermost shaft 137 is moved to the uppermost position with respect to the inner shaft 136, the second top plate 137 a provided on the innermost shaft 137 contacts the third protrusion 144 provided on the inner shaft 136. The innermost shaft 137 is restricted from moving further upward.

  At this time, the first locking pin 151 is fitted into the third locking hole 175 provided in the innermost shaft 137, so that the innermost shaft 137 is in contact with the outer shaft 135 and the inner shaft 136. The locked state is set (see FIG. 24).

  As described above, since the container 100 with the stick function according to the present embodiment includes the operation unit 134 and the lock mechanism 150, the user can hold the stick 130 to a desired length by a simple operation using the operation unit 134. Can be adjusted.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the operation part 134 is provided in the grip part 132, the user can adjust the length of the stick 130 by operating the operation part 134, holding the grip part 132.

  In the present embodiment, the operation part 134 is provided in the grip part 132, but the operation part 134 may be provided in the vicinity of the grip part 132 instead of the grip part 132 itself. For example, the operation unit 134 may be provided at the upper part of the shaft part 131 or may be provided at the upper part of the storage body 100. In addition, if the operation part 134 is provided in the grip part 132 itself or the vicinity of the grip part 132, the user can operate the operation part 134 without being obstructed by the expansion and contraction of the shaft part 131.
