Auxiliary Handle for a Walking Assistance Device
20210093056 · 2021-04-01 ·

An auxiliary handle for a walking assistance device has a tube seat and a handgrip tube. The tube seat utilizes the positioning space for accepting a crutch tube. When a user holds the handle portion of the handgrip tube and turns it downward; when the handgrip tube is turned, the positioning protrusion of the connecting portion moves from the stopping portion to the positioning portion and compresses the elastic member. When the handgrip tube is horizontal, the positioning protrusion passes over the stopping edge and be inserts into the positioning portion for positioning to lock the handgrip tube and prevent the elastic member from rebounding. Meanwhile, the user holds a top grip on the top of the walking assistance device with one hand, and holds the handgrip tube with the other hand, and then applies force to support the body to get up and stand.
