Abstract

A foot 100 for use at the end of a support tube 200 comprises a retaining member suitable 110, that may be for insertion into the end of the support tube 200, the retaining member may comprising a socket; an attachment member 120 that may be a ball that is retained within the socket such that the ball is free to rotate with respect to the retaining member 110; and a base 130 attached to the attachment member such that the base 130 extends beyond the support tube 200, in use. The device further comprises an elastic member 140 attached to the foot 100 such that the elastic member 140 tends to bias the attachment member 120 and base 130 assembly into a chosen orientation with respect to the retaining member 110. The retaining member may be formed in two halves that are held together when the retaining member is located inside the support member. The foot may be for use on crutches, a walking stick, furniture or scaffolding.
