  • Patent number: 5791360
    Abstract: A stable tubular crutch having a continuous one piece body, with an adjustable hand grip and riveted underarm support. The crutch is made of a tubular member, bent to form an elongated, flattened, fully enclosed, ovate structure with parallel spaced apart sections, within which the adjustable hand grip is positioned. An end of the tubular member longitudinally extends from the ovate structure in line with the major axis thereof and an independently adjustable straight tubular leg is interfitted with the extending end by an adjustable connection. A tubular underarm support, is fitted within a contoured section of the tubular member and is riveted thereto for a fixed connection. The adjustable hand grip is a short tube with a closed end supporting an extending hook. The base of a Y-shaped plastic member, with integrated metal rod (extending out of the fork of the Y) is slidingly retained, with a spring loading, in the open end of the tube.

  • Patent number: 5606985
    Abstract: Solid (e.g. wooden) and tubular crutches, are adapted for use with standard bolt-supported hand grips, are modified for use with a bolt supported hand grip, at a desired incline for user comfort. The angle of incline, from normal lateral placement, is predetermined and the parallel spaced apart sections of the crutch are correspondingly apertured along such angle, i.e. with through apertures, to permit placement of the hand grip supporting bolt at such angle. A series of correspondingly angled apertures on the crutch bows allows for height adjustment similar to the standard laterally aligned apertures. The angled aperturing may be in addition to the lateral apertures to permit both inclined and lateral hand grip placement as desired. Alternatively, the hand grip itself is formed with an integral incline, whereby, when it is normally laterally affixed to the laterally aligned apertures of standard crutches with a standard bolt and wing nut connection, an inclined grip is provided.
