A walking cane may be transformed into an assistive device for sit-to-stand transfers. The device has two sets of opposing handles, which are to be grasped by the user and an assister during sit-to-stand transfers. The transformation is accomplished by deploying a second set of handles by pivoting or rotating from a stored to a utility position. The assistive device form can then be reversed by the user once standing by reversing the deployment.

A cup holder assembly for a portable and handheld walking apparatus that includes a fastener assembly with an annular clasp operably configured to selectively translate to increase and decrease in diameter an annular recess defined thereon for receiving and retaining a portable and handheld walking apparatus. The cup holder assembly also includes a first hinge member directly coupled to the annular clasp and a second hinge member hingedly coupled to the first hinge member, wherein the second hinge member is operably configured to rotate and have at least one locked position along a rotation path with respect to the annular clasp. The assembly includes a cantilevered support rod with a portion directly coupled to the second hinge member and having a terminal distal end and a cylindrical container member and a container fastener configured to couple with the cantilevered support rod.

This disclosure provides a multi-functional safety umbrella comprising a main pipe. An umbrella tail is fixedly disposed on an upper side of the main pipe, and a safety structure is disposed on a lower side of the main pipe. The safety structure comprises a safety hammer, and an umbrella head is disposed on an outside of the safety structure. The umbrella head is detachably connected with the safety structure. When the umbrella head and the safety structure is fixed together, the safety hammer of the safety structure is hidden in the umbrella head. A safety hammer structure is disposed at a lower position of the main pipe, and then the umbrella head is disposed on the outside of the safety hammer, so that without affecting the overall appearance and use of the umbrella, the safety hammer can be hidden.

An animal tethering, assistive cane, and personal defense combination device incorporating user mobility and self-defense features includes a housing that defines an interior space. A leash is coupled to the housing and is positioned in the interior space. The leash is retractable type so that a cord of the leash is selectively extensible from the housing through an aperture. A user is positioned to couple the cord to a domestic animal to leash the domestic animal. A pole that is coupled to and extends from the housing comprises a plurality of nested sections so that the pole is selectively extensible and configured to serve as a mobility aid. A stun gun that is coupled to the pole distal from the housing is configured to administer an electrical shock to an attacker to incapacitate the attacker.

A gait moderation aiding system (100) includes a smart stick (102) and a central device (104). The smart stick (102) provides a visual cue upon detection of a gait irregularity of a user. The smart stick (102) includes an elongated housing (222), handle (201), base (204), and shaft (210). The handle (201) includes a concealed pushbutton (208) to generate vibration upon receiving a press gesture from the user. The base (204) houses a second printed circuit board (PCB) (316), a gait detection sensor (318), and a terrain detection sensor (320). The gait detection sensor (318) includes an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) (322) to detect the gait irregularity of the user. The shaft (210) houses a wiring harness to connect the PCBs to primary peripherals (344). The central device (104) assesses the gait irregularity of the user to provide vibratory, and auditory cueing.

An advanced trekking staff includes a main shaft, secondary shaft, tip shaft, a housing, and a plurality of concentric shafts. The plurality concentric shafts are slidably disposed within the interior cavity of the main shaft. The main shaft and tip shaft are slidably disposed on the secondary shaft. The main shaft may be raised and lowered and secured to a variable position to the tip shaft within the secondary shaft sleeved on the tip shaft to lengthen the main shaft as desired. A first configuration includes the plurality concentric shafts disposed within the interior cavity of the main shaft to form a trekking staff. A second configuration includes the two concentric shafts received by the housing coupled to the main shaft so as to form a tripod.
