102 Cane with Spring-Actuated Gripper US14677790 2015-04-02 US20150305452A1 2015-10-29 John J. Martinez
A cane with trigger-actuated gripper is an apparatus that is used as a walking aid and an aid for grabbing or picking up objects. The apparatus includes a cane which is used to aid a user with walking and increase distance the user is able to reach. A grasping mechanism is connected to the can and used to aid users with grabbing or picking up objects. A trigger located near the handle of the cane is used to control a spring-loaded claw assembly. The spring-loaded claw assembly, located near the foot of the cane, is used to clench or pick up objects. A cable runs through the inside of the cane's hollow shaft and links the trigger to the spring-loaded claw assembly.

A method and apparatus are described for holding a cane upright when the cane is not in use, the mechanism enclosed in a housing that can be fitted inside or attached onto a cane and providing a button that, when operated, releases a pair of props that spring out and spread apart so that rubber surfaces on the props will enable the cane to lean against a vertical surface, such as a wall, or hang from a horizontal surface, such as a table, the props subsequently able to be closed together and tucked into the housing where the same button that released them also latches them inside the housing.
104 Safety cane strap US12402116 2009-03-11 US08453661B2 2013-06-04 David M. Hutt
A safety strap for a cane handle portion of a cane includes a strap piece extending between a first end and a second end, a first connection arranged at the first end, and a second connection arranged at the second end, the first and second connections being connectable to the cane at opposing ends of the cane handle portion. The cane strap supports a weight of the cane when the first and second connections are connected to the cane and a user's hand is inserted between the strap and cane handle portion, so that the cane handle is maintained proximate the user's palm if the user's grip on the cane handle portion is inadvertently released. Furthermore, at least one of the first and second connections is releasable when a predetermined pulling force is exceeded, so that the cane is allowed to fall away from the user in a situation in which retaining the cane is likely to cause injury.
