Referring to the drawing in detail, the refer- The shoe connecting means includes an angle ence numeral I indicates the body of the cane bracket provided with a horizontal arm I3 which which is of the usual construction that is prois to be riveted to the sole of a shoe as shown vided with a curved handle portion 2. in Figure 3, and a vertical arm I4 that has The lower end of the body I terminates into secured thereto a sleeve I5 which is preferably 55 made from a strip of leather rolled upon itself as clearly shown in Figure 4. The sleeve I is tapered slightly toward its lower end and is designed to receive the lower portion of the body of the cane, as clearly shown in Figures 1 and 2.
From the above description and disclosure of the drawing, it will be obvious that we have provided a cane that not only prevents slipping, but isc capable of producing ample support to the limbs and other' parts of the user, especially while Walking. This feature is mainly brought about by the rod 8, which due to its relative position with respect to the body I'and vthe length thereof, as shown in Figure 2, it cooperates with the body I in not only providing a dual support, but the support is continuous, due to successive action of the rodzand Abody,'to relieve leg pressure on the foot prior to taking a step forward and during the time the foot is being. lifted, and it supports y.the-user during the step. It is ofcourse. understood Vthat this action is automatic which is brought about by natural coordination of the hand of the user with the movement of thelimb, and rthevfact that the body of the cane is retained associated with the limb by its connection with the foot through the instrumentality of the shoe attachment.
While we have illustrated one of our canes in use, it will be apparent that two canes .can be used and will not only accomplish the function of crutches, but are preferable thereto, in view of the added advantages, as well as the fact that crutches induce what may be termed an invalid complex which is not present when use is made oi our canes.
It is thought from the foregoing 'description that the advantages and .novel features of our invention will be readily apparent.
We desire it to lbe understood that wemay makechanges inthe construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts,pro`vided that such changesfall Within the scope of the appendedclaims.
What we claim is: y

3. A cane comprising a body, a bracket secured to said body, means secured in said bracket and extending at an inclination with respect to the body, said means cooperating with the body to provide dual ground engaging means for successive engagement with the ground to produce an equalized continuous supporting means for the user when Walking.
