Om Cross Pod Selvstående Stok

Dette produkt er designet til at gøre brugen af en etpunktsstok mere bekvem. Under gang lukker bensektionen ved stokkens spids sig, hvilket muliggør en smidig håndtering, der kan sammenlignes med en almindelig etpunktsstok. Når man står stille, kan stokken stå stabilt og øjeblikkeligt ved at sprede benene ud. De foldbare ben, som er designet til ikke at hindre gangen, giver kun stabil støtte, når der er behov for det. Bekvemmelighed og sofistikeret design bringer glæde. Dette design får den til at føles som mere end blot et ganghjælpemiddel. Den føles som et produkt, der understøtter en livsstil.

Produktionsteknologi: A one point cane is a portable item, it must be lightweight.
Therefore, complex mechanisms cannot be added.
It also requires simple and easy operation.
Considering this balance, we designed it using a spring and link mechanism.

The result is:
* Simple manual operation/ two actions: twist and slide
* An easy-to-grip handle
* A slim form that doesn't get in the way when closed like a bud before it blooms
* A wide leg span when opened
Furthermore, while maintaining a minimalist overall appearance, we incorporated vivid accent colors to create a fun and enjoyable product.

Inspiration: A one point cane is the most common tool used to assist with walking.
However, when you want to let go of the cane, the tip is the point, so it is inconvenient because you cannot stand it up.
There are also canes with four rubber tips, but they make it difficult to walk smoothly, are unstable when standing up, and are a little heavy.
So we came up with the idea of solving this problem by adding opening and closing legs to the tip of the cane.
Projektvarighed: The project started in April 2018 in Oita Japan and was released for sale in Jan 2020.
Following several internal refinements, it evolved into the current model in October 2023.
Driftsflow: Closing the legs allows you to walk smoothly, and opening them when standing.
Opening the legs is a two step operation.
Slightly twist the grip to unlock, and slide the cane towards the tip to open and stand up.
Closing is the reverse operation.
