Abstract: A cane tip has a body having an upper portion and a lower portion provided with a preferably concave traction surface. The lower portion tapers toward the upper portion and includes three preferably narrow, substantially planar regions sloping down toward the traction surface interposed by three preferably arcuate, web-like regions which together form a generally compact triangular footprint having truncated corners and arcuate sides. The body includes a bore which enters through the upper portion of the body and terminates above the traction surface and which receives and holds the lower end of the cane. The bore preferably includes a plurality of circumferential ribs which assist in securing the end of the cane. The traction surface preferably includes a circular central region and a plurality of structural branches radiating from the central region. A reinforcing plate is preferably provided in the body between the bore and the traction surface to prevent the end of the cane from inadvertently rupturing the traction surface. A sleeve is also preferably provided for use between the end of the cane and the bore in the body to accommodate cane ends of varying sizes. The cane tip permits a cane provided therein to be self-standing.

Abstract: An enlarged and weighted tip for replacing a multi-pod tip of a cane and for receiving a lower end of the cane and for allowing the cane to stand by itself. The tip includes a body portion that is shaped like a frustrum of substantially a pyramid. The body portion has a cavity therein that is disk-shaped and is disposed axially between the bore in the top surface of the body portion and the base of the body portion, parallel thereto. The tip further includes a plate that completely fills the cavity in the body portion and provides structural integrity, prevents rupturing of the base of the body portion caused by weight bearing on the cane tending to push it downwardly, and which adds sufficient weight to lower the center of gravity enabling the cane to stand by itself.

Abstract: A self righting walking cane device which comprises a lightweight hand grip handle, a lightweight shaft device and a bottom weighted base device to facilitate the righting action of the cane device. The base device includes a plurality of frame devices and faceted shell sections which are attached about the bottom portion of the shaft device. The frame devices or shell have a unique configuration which together with the weight device positioned about the bottom portion of shaft device which together with unique shaft configuration provide a unique self righting walking cane. This combination of elements produces a cane whose center of gravity is below the center of rotation of the righting surface causing the cane to remain vertically stable and if disturbed from its vertical position to return to it. The construction of the cane device also allows it to stand by itself without the need of support.

Abstract: A walker/cane assembly, multi-legged cane, and single-pointed cane may share common parts that may be easily connected and detached to allow a user to convert a walker/cane assembly to a multi-legged cane and/or a single-pointed cane. Accordingly, a user may use a single assembly that may be quickly and easily modified to meet the user's needs, such as his/her current balance or energy level. One or more folding mechanisms may be employed to allow the walker/cane assembly, or the frame forming a portion of the walker/cane assembly, to be easily collapsed and folded. This may allow a user to store the walker/cane assembly, or the frame portion of the assembly, in a smaller amount of space than the expanded walker/cane assembly or the frame portion of the assembly may otherwise occupy.

Abstract: A robotic cane may include a grip handle, a cane body extending from the grip handle at a first end, a motorized omni-directional wheel coupled to a second end of the cane body, a balance control sensor, and a controller module. The balance control sensor provides a balance signal corresponding to an orientation of the robotic cane. The controller module may receive the balance signal from the balance control sensor and calculate a balancing velocity of the motorized omni-directional wheel based at least in part on the balance signal and an inverted pendulum control algorithm. The controller module may further provide a drive signal to the motorized omni-directional wheel in accordance with the calculated balancing velocity. The calculated balancing velocity is a speed and direction of the motorized omni-directional wheel to retain the robotic cane in an substantially upright position.

Abstract: A support device for balancing a bowler while bowling is presented. The bowling support apparatus includes a plurality of legs coupled with a base plate base plate, where the plurality of legs extends from said base plate in a downward direction and is configured to be placed on the floor near the foul line of a bowling lane thus eliminating the need to run-up to the foul line. The bowling support apparatus further includes a telescopically adjustable pole coupled with the base plate. The pole extends substantially perpendicularly from the base plate in an upward direction where it's coupled with a handle. The handle is configured to be gripped with one hand by a bowler while the bowler is throwing a bowling ball with the other hand.

Abstract: An ambulatory aid is revealed. The ambulatory aid includes a hollow main rod and a hollow support pole connected with each other, and a cushion unit therebetween. The main rod, the hollow support and the cushion unit all have insertion holes, aligned with each other. By insertion pins inserted into the insertion holes, the main rod, the hollow support and the cushion unit are assembled with each other. The structure of the assembly of the main rod, the hollow support and the cushion unit is more firm and tighter. When the ambulatory aid is pressed by a larger pressure, the assembly will not come loose and move around and the unstable walking stick makes the users fall down due to a loss of support.
