ABSTRACT:
A medical crutch includes a hollow bottom leg member and a pair of hollow side rail members running parallel at a predetermined distance apart, and merged by inflections which are in turn engaged to the bottom leg member at its opposite sides, each of the bottom leg and side members having a cross section of a round-cornered rectangle or an ellipsoid with a flat engagement surface with respect to the adjacent members increasing the resistance to the lateral working loads of the crutch in use and facilitating the assembly of the members as well as the precise punching operations for forming screw holes through which a plurality of screw bolts and nuts fasten the members together; each of the bottom leg and side rail members having a reinforcing means extending inside thereof in a direction vertical to the load-acting lateral direction to prevent a crushing of the member in the punching and a bending operation to form said inflections; and a grip means including concave and convex surfaces formed integral to each of the bottom leg and side rail members to allow a positive locking engagement between the members while reinforcing the members against the punching operations by effecting the corresponding thickened wall to the areas of the members to be punched.
