Abstract:
1. A device for providing rest, the device comprising: a single vertical standing crutch having two longer elongated vertical members coupled to each other with an arm-resting top piece, and a shorter elongated member positioned therebetween, the shorter elongated member having a bottom end which contacts the ground when the crutch is held vertical; a first set of elongated arms having a first end and a second end, the first end of each arm pivotally attached directly to a corresponding one of the two longer elongated vertical members of the crutch at a fixed vertical position rotatable joint; and a second set of elongated arms having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second set of elongated arms pivotally attached directly to the second end of the first set of arms at a rotatable joint and each second set elongated arm having a distal end which independently contacts the ground; wherein the first and second sets of elongated arms are foldable so as to lay substantially flat against the crutch; wherein to create a stable sitting position, a combination of the first set of elongated arms and the second set of elongated arms is connected to the crutch at only the first end of the first set of elongated arms; and wherein in a stable sitting position, the first set of elongated arms and the second set of elongated arms are positioned so that the first set of elongated arms is perpendicular to the vertical standing crutch and the second set of elongated arms is substantially parallel to the vertical standing crutch such that the bottom end of the shorter elongated member and the two distal ends of the second set of elongated arms all contact the ground at three distinct points allowing a crutch to stand stably and vertically upon the ground and providing a sitting platform which is parallel to the ground.
