Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9907322A1] The invention relates to a walking crutch used for various purposes, comprising an end piece (8) made of ductile material and a rigid material stick with a tip (30, 3) which is moveably placed in a cavity (50) of said walking crutch (5) and can be inserted or withdrawn. The inventive walking crutch is characterised in that it comprises a guide member for the tip of the stick (30,3) which is arranged in such a way that it can slide axially and rotate in the cylindrical hollow (200) of at least one guide sleeve (20) which is able to receive a support load and which is detachably mounted in the cavity (50) of the walking crutch (5) i.e. in the hollow part (500). Said guide member for the tip of the stick (30,3) has a point on the end of the stick (30,3) or similar which can be replaced or permanently secured and can even be an integral part of the guide member with at least one guide salient (31) or the like which can receive a support load and which protrudes radially. The guide member for the tip of the stick (30,3) protrudes into a guide recess (21) pertaining to the guide sleeve (20). The guide recess (21) is substantially or mirror-symmetrically L -shaped, the longitudinal axis (210) thereof being parallel to the axis and the transversal axis (211) being shorter. The guide member for the tip of the stick (30,3) can also pass through the guide recess (21) and can be guided therein between an inserted (A) and a withdrawn (E) position.
