61 | SKI- UND/ODER WANDERSTOCK | EP97900963.0 | 1997-01-08 | EP0877643A1 | 1998-11-18 | Ortwig, Jan |
The invention relates to a ski pole and/or walking stick (1) comprising a preferably hollow tubular member (2), a grip (3) arranged at one end and a tip (4) arranged at the opposite end. A basket (5) is preferably arranged in the region of the tip (4). To achieve an ergonomic ski pole and/or walking stick (1) which has a high degree of strength, is very functional, and is simple and economical to produce, it is proposed to construct the tubular member (2) preferably from a toughened synthetic material with a high modulus of elasticity, preferably carbon or a carbon composite, and to produce it by blowing the synthetic material. | ||||||

Mit einem Stockschaft bestehend aus zwei ineinander verschiebbaren Rohren (1, 2) können Zubehörteile, insbesondere ein Handgriff (6) und ein Stockpuffer (9) oder eine Stockspitze auswechselbar verbunden werden. Mit einem der Rohre (2) ist eine Kupplungsvorrichtung (14, 15, 19) verbunden, welche die beiden Rohre (1, 2) des Stockschaftes zug- und druckfest miteinander verbindet. Ueber ein Gestänge (18) kann durch Knopfdruck (29) die Kupplungsvorrichtung ausgelöst werden, um die beiden Rohre (1, 2) ineinander zu verschieben und damit die Schaftlänge nach Bedarf einzustellen. Dank der stufenlosen Einstellung der Schaftlänge und verschiedenem Zubehör ergibt sich eine optimale, vielseitige Verwendbarkeit des Stockes. |

65 | Impact absorbing flexible walking aid | US15892022 | 2018-02-08 | US10098424B1 | 2018-10-16 | Royce Husted; Joel Husted |
A cane comprises a handle, a foot, and a flexible flat spring member connecting the handle and the foot. The flexible flat spring member may be positioned to flex forwardly in a direction of travel of a user. The handle end may project rearward from a vertical center of the flat spring member. The cane may further comprise a flexible tube shrouding the flat spring member. The cane may further comprise a rigid strut member aligned with the flat spring member for selectively locking the flat spring member into a rigid condition and a first notch positioned for selectively engaging a lower end of the rigid strut member, such that the flat spring member is locked into a rigid condition when the lower end of the rigid strut member is engaged with the first notch. | ||||||
66 | Multi-functional activity management system for elderly | US15396418 | 2016-12-30 | US10064780B2 | 2018-09-04 | Zhongshu Zheng |
A multi-functional activity management system for elderly utilizes prior art walking sticks to manage big data related to activity of elderly persons. In addition, new improvements have been made upon prior art walking sticks. By incorporating umbrella function into the walking stick, the stem portion becomes narrower and shorter, thereby making it easy to be inserted into the thin walking stick. New functions have been developed from the prior art walking sticks for better use by the elderly persons. | ||||||

A pole system comprising a continuous elongated frame forming both structural and functional geometries relating to the handle and shaft portions. The continuous elongated frame may include an internal cavity and a variable wall thickness along the lengthwise dimension. The handle portion of the continuous elongated frame includes a cap region, grip region, and a retention region. The independent regions of the handle portion may include substantially different cross sectional shapes to facilitate the corresponding functional characteristics. For example, the grip region may include an ergonomic tapered oval cross sectional shape to facilitate optimal engagement with a user's hand. The shaft portion of the continuous elongated frame is disposed between the handle portion and the bottom end of the continuous elongated frame. The tip is either integrated as a portion of the continuous elongated frame or translatably coupled via a lower pole member. | ||||||

73 | T-Handle Folding Cane with Unobtrusive table clamp | US14860062 | 2015-09-21 | US20160262506A1 | 2016-09-15 | Jerome E. Sacks |
The inventive concept presented herein is a t-handle folding cane that when extended for walking appears to be a standard t-handle cane. However when the cane is folded, it is designed to be hung from various horizontal surfaces such as a table top, a dresser with a lip, or a bookcase, etc. Embodiments include a) a clamp that has a slider jaw that allows the handle-bottom and slider jaw to be clamped to a table top, b) a slider jaw extension that extends the length of the slider jaw, c) a constant force spring, d) a handle modification that allows the handle to be extended so the cane is better balanced when hung from a table, and e) modifications to the shaft so a user's grip on the handle lies directly over the cane's point of contact to the ground. | ||||||

An improved white cane includes an elongate body having a proximal end adapted to be held by or secured to a human user and a distal tip, and a noise generator located proximate the distal tip, the noise generator being configured to generate sound within a range of frequencies audible to humans. The user is able to interpret differences in reflected sound as the white cane is moved about the user's surroundings to obtain more information about the surroundings than could be obtained using a normal white cane. Additionally, the information about the surroundings may become available to the user before that information might otherwise have been available to the user using a standard white cane. | ||||||

A hiking staff having one or more hollow interiors shaped to support a user's body weight when hiking. Survival gear, such as first aid supplies, a tent, and/or provisions for defense or food gathering needs, can be stored within the hollow interiors of the hiking staff. End caps enclosing the open ends of the hiking staff can be selectively removed to access the survival gear. A knife can be coupled with an end of the hiking staff for storage and/or use of the hiking staff as a spear. | ||||||

78 | Ice rescue walking staff | US13487211 | 2012-07-12 | US08800578B2 | 2014-08-12 | Donald William Jackson |
A multifunctional walking staff, to aid in balance and support on an ice surface, and to function as a survival or a rescue tool in the event of breaking through thin ice into water. Secure traction on ice is attained by a metal tip, which may be further pressed onto the ice by a foot peg, serving also as a grapple hook. Secured onto the ice, the staff affords reliable anchorage to an attached rescue line, which is ordinarily stowed in multiple folds therewithin. An adjustable loop is formed integrally with, or adjoined to the rescue line, which loop may be maneuvred by the staff to facilitate engagement with the rescuee. A buoyant projectile linked to the loop is releasably disposed within a top section of the staff, and is of such weight that it and the loop may jointly be cast the full extent of the rescue line. | ||||||
