Abstract: A height adjustable crutch having a bow comprised of a pair of hollow tubular vertical members which are angled downwardly toward each other with their lower extremities aligned in spaced-apart parallel relationship in their hollow tubular condition. A hollow tubular carrier is disposed between and in abutment with these tubular extremities and the three members are secured, as by bolt through them in the upper area where they are in abutment, and by an integral encircling element at their lower extremities, the encircling element being pinned at externally diametrically opposite points of abutment of such element with the extremities of the tubular members. The tubular carrier is orificed at selective intervals and receives an orificed telescoping foot member provided with at least one radially outwardly spring biased detent. This detent serves to lock the foot member in any disposition relative to the carrier when the detent is passed through any registering orifices of the carrier and foot member.

Abstract: Gripping means to provide hand support for a person stepping over a wall, such as the side wall of a bathtub, comprising a rigid corner plate fitting over and extending down the outer edge of the wall, to the top of which plate is secured a hollow member closed at its front end and extending transversely across the wall rim to support handle means extending upwardly from the hollow member. A slidable member is provided within the hollow member, said slidable member having axially extending female threading to receive a threaded element. Such an element is provided to enter through an orifice in the closed front end of the hollow member, and is capped at its outer end with a torquing knob. The distal end of the slidable member carries a downwardly projecting clamping member having pivotable plate means in facing engagement with the inside of the wall to enable the wall to be clamped between such plate means and the rigid plate, thereby to provide firm support for the upwardly extending handle means.
