Crutch Accessory

This innovative crutch accessory boasts a cup holder and dish holder, hung from hooks via straps to allow for free swinging motion. Outward-oriented cantilever hooks prevent collision with the legs. Clamps come in three types: simple clamps, clamps with hangers, and clamps with containers; the latter two can carry bags, shopping bags, bottles, cans, cutlery, and more. Hook-cantilevers are removable when not needed, while clamps remain attached to crutches for carrying purposes. High friction rubber sheets in dish and cup holders prevent slipping. Clamps affix to crutches using M4 screws and nuts, with adjustable heights via a pin. The model underwent static strength analysis in SolidWorks with loads exceeding expectations: 10 N for the cup holder, 30 N for the dish holder, and 30 N for the hook-cantilever; ABS was used for simulation.
