ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a temporary crutch tip cleat assembly for preventing lateral slippage of a ground engaging tip of a crutch during use on icy and/or snowy supporting surfaces. The temporary crutch cleat assembly has a stud plate attachable to a ground engagement surface of a crutch tip for piercing engagement with ice and/or snow covered ground surfaces. The stud plate has a discoid plate having a plurality of sharp teeth projecting downwardly therefrom. The plate further has an essentially tubular wall extending oppositely the teeth, around the circumference thereof, to define a cup-shaped receptacle wherein the crutch tip may be inserted for keeping the plate in alignment with the crutch tip. The stud plate may be removably attached to the crutch with a pair of resilient flexible bands. The first end of each band is looped through a lateral hole of the stud plate wall while the second end has an enlarged knot for jamming within the v-shaped juncture of a convergent pair of crutch arm support members. The stud plate is secured to the crutch by the longitudinal bias of the taut bands.
