  • Patent number: 11197523
    Abstract: 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 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.

  • Patent number: 9974367
    Abstract: A base for a walking stick, which is configured to dispose in a bottom end of a stick body of the walking stick to provide a buffering and shock-absorbing effect, may include a main body, a shaft, a first sleeve, and a second sleeve. An upper portion and a lower portion of the shaft respectively have a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. Also, a buffering unit disposed on the first connecting portion can allow the second sleeve to be compressed and stretched. Thus, the walking stick can achieve the stretch motion stably, and buffer the reactive force from the floor. Thus, the base structure for a walking stick can allow the stick body to swing in all direction. Also, it can be used to stand on different tilted grounds, and improve the reliability and safety of the walking stick.
