Non-slip self-supporting orthopedic device
10828225 · 2020-11-10 ·

A non-slip self-supporting orthopedic device includes: an upper disk slidably engaged with the rod and externally provided with a hinge; a lower disk, connected with the orthopedic device allowing the elastomeric foot to project downward, and externally provided with a hinge; and arms with upper element, lower element and spring adapted to hold the arm in folded configuration. The movable mechanism can take an enlarged configuration, in which the upper disk contacts the lower disk and the arms are folded. In an elongated configuration, the arms are in axial configuration following the pressing of a button connected to a kinematic mechanism causing the arms to take the axial configuration. The reversible connection system allows the reversible disconnection of the lower elements of the arms preselected by the hinge, determining the lifting of the entire arm in a vertical position by rotation around the hinge.

Bi-axial ball tip for use with a mobility cane
11864640 · 2024-01-09 · ·

A bi-axial ball tip for use with a mobility cane. The bi-axial ball tip includes an omni ball, at least two mirrored brackets, and a grip. The mirrored brackets form a chamber to accommodate part of the omni ball, allowing the omni ball to rotate around a horizontal axis inside the chamber. The rotation of the omni ball when the ball engages a ground surface and is provided to aid visually impaired people. The grip connects the mirrored brackets in a manner such that the mirrored brackets and the omni ball, together, rotate around a vertical axis which is orthogonal to the horizontal axis.

End cap structure for cane/crutch/trekking pole
10813421 · 2020-10-27 · ·

An end cap structure for a cane/crutch/trekking pole includes a main body, an elastic interlayer, and a bottom layer. The elastic interlayer is disposed between the main body and the bottom layer to ensure the structural strength of the end cap. When the user swings the cane/crutch/trekking pole in all directions, the whole underside of the bottom layer is kept in contact with the ground due to the elastic interlayer to ensure that the anti-slip function is not affected, thereby improving the safety of the product when in use.

AMBULATORY AID
20200323320 · 2020-10-15 ·

An ambulatory aid, such as a walking cane, including an elongate shaft, a handle at a first, upper end of the shaft, and a foot piece at a second, lower end of the shaft opposite the first end. The cane shaft can be adjustable at a top end, middle, a bottom end, or any combination thereof. The top of the cane shaft is aligned at a more posterior angle then the bottom of the shaft. The handle of the cane is elongated and extends posterior and anterior to the shaft. In a particular embodiment, a posterior portion of the handle is longer, and optionally larger in surface area than an anterior portion of the handle such that the handle is configured so that when the person's hand is gripping the handle, the handle will be offset over the shaft.
