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 translation: 甘蔗尖具有主体，该主体具有上部，下部设置有优选凹入的牵引表面。 下部朝向上部逐渐变细，并且包括三个优选地窄的基本上平坦的区域，其向下朝向牵引表面倾斜，由三个优选弓形的网状区域介入，这些区域一起形成具有截顶角和弧形侧面的大致紧凑的三角形覆盖物。 主体包括一个通过主体上部进入并终止在牵引表面上方并且接收并保持拐杖下端的孔。 孔优选地包括多个圆周肋，其有助于固定拐杖的端部。 牵引表面优选地包括圆形中心区域和从中心区域辐射的多个结构分支。 优选地，在孔和牵引表面之间的主体中设置加强板，以防止手杖的端部不经意地破坏牵引表面。 还优选地提供套筒，以在杖的端部和主体中的孔之间使用以容纳不同尺寸的拐杖端部。 甘蔗尖允许其中提供的手杖是独立的。
