Abstract

See full text

The inventive concept presented herein is a t-handle folding cane that when extended for walking appears to be a standard t-handle cane. However when the cane is folded, it is designed to be hung from various horizontal surfaces such as a table top, a dresser with a lip, or a bookcase, etc. Embodiments include a) a clamp that has a slider jaw that allows the handle-bottom and slider jaw to be clamped to a table top, b) a slider jaw extension that extends the length of the slider jaw, c) a constant force spring, d) a handle modification that allows the handle to be extended so the cane is better balanced when hung from a table, and e) modifications to the shaft so a user's grip on the handle lies directly over the cane's point of contact to the ground.
