thingiverse

Hello to everybody. After watched a women with crutches and supermarket bags i think what a little gadget in the crutches can do the job of carry bags. Also this gadget avoid what crutches fall to floor if stay in a flat surface (what do all standar crutches...) or in the chair's back. And why not added some strong neodimiun magnets and a lantern holder for do the combo gadget ...? Well , the magnets can carry the house's keys , tools , perhaps some smartphones and all ferromagnetic things. The lantern it's any of 27 mm. in diameter approximately , perhaps a little sanding it's needed for easy operation , but is little. The hooks in the top make it possible to carry two supermarket bags ( 3 Kg max. each...).Yet not tested the maximum weight allowed before break but i suppose what higher what the average user's force. What's more , i experimented better results with PLA vs ABS . ( ¿? i don't know ...) This gadget was designed for crutches mades in aluminum tube of 22 mm. in diameter, if other diameter are more convenient , contact with me in messages. This gadget is fixed under the hand's support by cliking in the crutches tube body , a small amount of force are needed , but firm , also little WD-40 or similar lubricant oil perform better operation. After clicking , a small hole of 2 mm. are needed in the tube body and attach a small washer and metal screw for hold the gadget firmly to the aluminum tube.This pearhaps is the most tricky part , but only a small drill hole of 2 mm. and washer and screw are needed. This is a work in progress , at this moment only the left hand crutches gadgets are made , but soon the right hand. I will be very happy of see makes , ideas , suggestions for get a better performance of this little gadget. Updated 22/7/2017: Added muleta_right and muleta_left for each hand's crutches gadget.
