Abstract:
A cane device (10) that provides a remote object gripping mechanism (14), a shoe horn (16), and a rod (18) providing a righting means for the device, is described. The remote object gripping mechanism is comprised of a trigger (36), a gripping claw (38) and a connecting linkage of a cable (40). The trigger is mounted on the cane (12) adjacent the handle (22) and is actuated to move in turn the cable, which is mounted inside the cane, to in turn move the claw towards a support foot (24) for gripping and manipulating remote objects without the user needing to stoop. The righting means extends from the shaft (20 ) adjacent the support foot. When the cane is dropped on the floor (71), the user is able to step on the righting means to cause the cane handle to swing upwardly so that the user can reach the handle without having to bend over. The shoe horn is an elongated member that enables the user to put on a shoe without having to stoop.
