Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a walking stick with a bending part that allows for more elasticity and comfort for the user when ascending or descending from a place with different elevations. The stick body can have multiple bending parts that disperse the load on the wrist joint and protect the knee joint. Additionally, the length of the stick can be adjusted for different user sizes, making it more convenient and portable. The friction enhancing structure on the end portion surface of the support member increases safety for users walking on icy or slippery roads. Overall, this walking stick improves comfort, safety, and portability for users.

Problems solved by technology

Also, since a user cannot sufficiently use the elasticity of the straight grip and the T-shaped grip, a user relies only on the muscular strength when using a walking stick.

first embodiment

[0063]FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a walking stick according to the present invention.

[0064]As described in FIG. 1, a walking stick according to a first embodiment of the present invention may include a stick body 10 having a long shape. Particularly, the stick body 10 may include at least one bending part (see B1 or B2). Accordingly, when a user ascends from a low place or descends from a high place, sufficient elasticity can be given through at least one bending part (see B1 or B2). When a user ascends from a low place, a user can hold the grip while the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the stick body 10 bend toward a user, allowing the grip to be naturally pulled toward the body of a user. Thus, a user can feel the comfort of the wrist and obtain sufficient elasticity. On the other hand, when a user descends from a high place, a user can hold the grip while the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the stick body 10 bend toward the opposite direction of a ...

second embodiment

[0098]FIG. 10 is a view illustrating a walking stick according to the present invention.

[0099]As shown in FIG. 10, since the walking stick according to the second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first embodiment of the present invention except the shape of a stick body 210, a detailed description thereof will be focused on the stick body 210. Also, the same components as the first embodiment of the present invention will be assigned with the same reference numerals.

[0100]As shown in FIG. 10, the stick body 210 may be bent in a circular arc or an elliptical arc shape as a whole. That is, the stick body 210 may include one bending part B having a circular arc or an elliptical arc shape. Accordingly, a force may be continuously dispersed in a tangential direction of a circle or an ellipse through all points of the stick body 210. Thus, an impact applied to the upper part (e.g., shoulder, arm joints, etc.) of a user can be more efficiently absorbed compared to an e...

third embodiment

[0102]FIG. 11 is a view illustrating a walking stick according to the present invention.

[0103]As shown in FIG. 11, since the walking stick according to the third embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first embodiment of the present invention except the shape of a stick body 310, a detailed description thereof will be focused on the stick body 310. Also, the same components as the first embodiment of the present invention will be assigned with the same reference numerals.

[0104]As described in FIG. 11, the walking stick according to the third embodiment of the present invention may include a stick body 310 having a long shape. Particularly, the stick body 310 may include a first bending part B1 formed on an upper half part thereof and a second bending part B2 formed on a lower half part thereof, and a third bending part B3 formed on a central part thereof. Accordingly, since a substantially “M”-shaped stick body 310 bent many times in a zigzag pattern is provided, the ...

Abstract

Provided is a walking stick which can be conveniently and safely used for mountain climbers, travelers, old people, and disabled persons without difficulty and inconvenience in walking when a user descends from a high place or ascends from a low place. To this end, the walking stick includes a stick body having a long shape and at least one bending part formed on the stick body.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The following disclosure relates to a walking stick, and in particular, to a walking stick which is used by persons such as mountain climbers, travelers, old people, and disabled persons in order to maintain the balance of the body or reduce the load applied to the lower body.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In general, a walking stick, which is used to maintain the balance of the body or reduce the load applied to the lower body, is also called a rod, a wand, a staff, or a cane, and is being widely used by mountain climbers, travelers, old people and disabled persons.[0003]Due to the increase of older people according to aging population and the increase of the climbing and traveling populations according to the improvement of the quality of life, the demands for such walking sticks are also increasing day by day. Also, the importance of walking sticks is increasing as a walking assistance device for patients who have difficulty in moving and walking.[0004]Hereinafter, a wa...
