Systems and methods for adjustable length weighted trekking poles
Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for adjustable length, multi-segment, weighted trekking pole are provided. Two or three-segment trekking (or other) poles may benefit from removable slotted annular-shaped weights that may provide liquid storage and may be configured to fit around the pins of a pin-and-hole coupling mechanism that attaches the pole segments together.
Stairway descending assistance device
An apparatus for assisting a user with safer descent of a stairway that has at least one handrail. The apparatus essentially serves as a second handrail which the user can hold onto and depend on to support their weight, while holding onto a handrail while they descend the stairway. The user would use the apparatus in the handrail engaged configuration when descending a stairway, and in the stowed configuration for all other venues. The portability allows the user to bring the apparatus with them everywhere, enabling the user to become comfortable and confident with the apparatus' use.
Cane Fabric Wrap
Cane fabric-wraps are attachable and removable stretch fabric/foam wraps that once applied to a standard walking cane add new features to the cane and alter the shape, color and overall appearance of a traditional cane silhouette. The cane fabric wraps can have reflective elements for nighttime visibility on the front or visible surface, permanent address labels on the back or hidden surface and silicon material pieces (on the back surface) to prevent the wrap from sliding downwards when the cane is in use. The fabric wraps are typically secured to the cane with a three-step process. First with a snap at the top edge, secondly with a full-length hook & loop tape, and thirdly with a snap at the bottom edge. These three steps allow for installation onto the cane and removal from the cane. The overall shape of the wrap is designed to provide a large area for a variety of design and color application and also room for the reflective elements to be placed.

Storage container for canes and walkers
A storage container including a mobility aid assembly, a container assembly and a clamping assembly. The mobility aid includes a cane and a walker with a frame. The container assembly includes a container to store small objects. The container has an inclined opening. The clamping assembly includes a clamping member that allows the container to be attached to the frame or to the cane. The clamping assembly can be rotated to orientate the storage container to the cane or to the frame, either in vertical or horizontal position.

Cup and bottle holder assembly for a walking aid
A combined cup and bottle holder assembly is configured for mounting to the shaft of a walking aid. A bottle support component has bottle-engaging structure that projects outwardly in a first direction, and has a first half of a coupling structure that projects outwardly in an opposite second direction. A cup retention subassembly has a gyroscopic cup-holding portion that projects outwardly in the second direction, and has a second half of the coupling structure that projects outwardly in the first direction. An attachment pin selectively couples the first and second coupling structure halves to one another about the shaft length. The gyroscopic cup-holding portion includes a two-axis gimbal arrangement.
Auxiliary weight supporting device
An auxiliary weight supporting device includes a back rack, a walking-stick and a connecting rod. The back rack is configured for the user to wear and for carrying an object. The walking-stick includes a main body and a gripping part and a contacting end configured at two ends of the main body respectively. The gripping part is configured for the user to hold, and the contacting end is configured to touch the ground when the user is walking. The connecting rod has a first end connected to the main body and a second end coupled to the back rack. The walking-stick is controlled by the user to support the ground and swings back and forth in accordance with the user's steps. The connecting rod drives the back rack to rise when the walking-stick swings backwards.
