Description

cane

The invention relates to the technical field of auxiliary tools, especially a cane that can provide high safety and high durability, is light in weight, small in size, easy to carry, and not easy to lose.

In addition to guide dogs, walking sticks are arguably the most commonly used guide tool for the visually impaired. By swinging the cane to identify whether there is a way to move forward, distinguish height differences, and detect whether there are obstacles, it can improve the safety and convenience of visually impaired people when they move.

In addition, canes are ideal walking aids for the elderly or those with limited mobility.

However, no matter the visually impaired, the elderly or the disabled, they must hold the cane for a long time due to their slow movement. Therefore, if the material of the cane grip is not good, it will cause discomfort when the user holds it.

In addition, when swinging the cane, the cane or the tip of the cane often hits the ground or objects. If the material of the cane and the tip of the cane is not good, it is easy to be damaged and broken due to the impact, which affects the safety during use.

In addition, if the weight of the cane is too heavy, holding it for a long time will cause a burden on the user's hands.

In addition, if the user needs to free his hands to pick up or hold other objects, the cane must be placed aside, which often causes the cane to fall, slide, roll and shift, causing the user to lose the cane Can't be quickly retrieved.

In addition, when the user walks with the cane at night or in an environment with poor lighting, pedestrians or vehicles around him often collide with the user due to negligence. And if there is a critical situation, if you cannot call for help or get rescue quickly, the user's life may be endangered.

In addition, generally speaking, the length of the cane is about 120-140 cm, which is inconvenient for the user to carry and store, which often affects the user's willingness to use it.

The lack of above-mentioned various conventional walking sticks all produces great hidden worry for the safety of the user.

Accordingly, how to develop a "cane" that can provide high security and high durability, and is light in weight, small in size, easy to carry, and not easy to lose is an urgent problem to be solved by people in the relevant technical fields.

In one embodiment, this invention proposes a cane, which includes: a cane body, which is composed of a plurality of cane sections sleeved along an axis, and the plurality of cane sections can be folded along the axis to be in a folded state or stretched to be stretched state; a stick head, detachably arranged at one axial end of the stick body; a handle, opposite to the stick head, arranged at the other axial end of the stick body; and An alarm device, including a button electrically connected with an alarm unit, the button is set on the end of the stick body opposite to the stick head, and the alarm unit is set in the stick body, pressing the button can trigger the alarm unit to send out a warning signal.
