Abstract

A multi-functional cane (100) including a handle member (102), a rod member (104) coupled with the handle member (102), and a multi-functional circuit system distributed in the cane (100) is provided. The multi-functional circuit system includes an alarm device (108), an illumination device (112), an expel device (106), a power unit (110), and a control unit (102a). The power unit (110) provides a driving power required by the devices. The control unit (102a) includes a control terminal part disposed on the handle member (102) to operate the devices of the multi-functional circuit system. The multi-functional cane (100) further includes a wireless communication device (102c), a positioning device (118), or a Mayday device (120) according to actual requirements. Moreover, the handle member (102) or the rod member (104) further has a storage space (114) for storing an article (116).
