Related devices, systems, and kits further comprise a sheath for coupling with a mobility device using one or more attachment means, the sheath configured to slidably receive at least part of the reaching apparatus therein. Furthermore, methods for using such devices and systems are provided, providing both retrofit options and otherwise.
Abstract:
A multi-functional activity management system for elderly utilizes prior art walking sticks to manage big data related to activity of elderly persons. In addition, new improvements have been made upon prior art walking sticks. By incorporating umbrella function into the walking stick, the stem portion becomes narrower and shorter, thereby making it easy to be inserted into the thin walking stick. New functions have been developed from the prior art walking sticks for better use by the elderly persons.
Abstract:
An assembly and method for the operation and use of a cane assembly is presented. The assembly includes a handle portion configured to selectively adjust in length. A leg assembly is located at the bottom of the cane body and is configured to selectively operate between an open and a closed position, such that when opened, the footprint of the leg assembly increases to provide added stabilization to the cane body. A deployment mechanism is configured to selectively operate a leg assembly.
Abstract:
A walking equipment with a lighting apparatus includes a main body, a mount, at least one lighting apparatus, and a power apparatus. The main body has a grip, and the mount is disposed in the main body. The lighting apparatus is connected the mount and projects a horizontal line beam and a vertical line beam. The power apparatus is electrically connected the lighting apparatus. The lighting apparatus is turned on and projects a vertical line marking and a horizontal line marking onto the ground, so the user is guided and takes a step by referring the vertical line marking and horizontal line marking to prevent falling and unforeseen accident.
Abstract:
An umbrella has a lower pole and an upper pole and a fabric. The lower pole includes screw threads. A spring clip in an inverted V-shaped configuration has outwardly extending projections removably coupling together the upper pole and the lower pole. A handle is removably coupled to the lower pole to twist the lower pole. Each rib of a plurality of ribs has an interior end and an exterior end. The interior ends of the ribs are coupled to the upper pole. The fabric overlies the ribs. Each tip of a plurality of tips has an upper part and a lower part. Each upper part has a tubular recess receiving the exterior end of an associated rib. The periphery of the fabric is secured between the upper part and the lower part.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to mobility aids and in particular, but not exclusively, to a portable device for releasably securing a mobility aid such as a cane, a crutch, a pole, a walking stick umbrella or other walking aids in a desired position. The device comprises an attachment operable to be connected to a fastener for releasably securing a mobility aid in a desired position. The attachment joins the fastener in a manner such that the fastener and attachment are capable of movement relative to each other in at least two planes. As such, the portable securing device may be used on a plurality of surfaces, which may be located on different planes or orientation.
Abstract:
A mobility aid with rehabilitative and guiding functions includes a main body, a processing unit, a guiding module, a detection module, an inertia sensor, a recording module, and an electricity module. A rehabilitation and guiding method includes the steps of: A) constantly projecting a visible light beam to a next-step position of the mobility aid; B) moving the mobility aid to its next-step position under the guidance of the visible light beam; C) constantly emitting an ultrasonic wave to a next-step position of at least one of the user's feet to define a detection area; D) detecting whether the foot is moved into the detection area; E) recording the moving process of any of the steps A through D and notifying a remote device of the moving process; and F) detecting any of the steps A through D and, if an abnormal condition occurs, sending out a warning message.
