An illuminated walking assistance apparatus. The illuminated walking assistance apparatus is made in the form of a staff having a light pipe in the lower portion thereof which provides diffused illumination in the immediate vicinity of the apparatus and at the same time, a bright light visible for a substantial distance to alert or signal others. A walking aid that may include an elongated support shaft to be used as a walking support. The length of the support shaft may extend between an upper end and a lower end. At the upper end of the elongated support shaft, the walking aid support may include a handle assembly that includes a hand grip. The walking aid may include a light source having a user interface that may be designed to selectably emit light outward from the elongated support shaft.

A coiling device on which a rope, extension cord, or other materials can be coiled. A coiling device allows for additional tools to be included and/or coupled to it. A coiling device that can be coupled to a shaft, whether telescopic or otherwise. A coiling device that can be coupled to a shaft via a clamp.

Disclosed is a walking assistance method and apparatuses, wherein a walking assistance apparatus is configured to adaptively control at least one of a length or a stiffness based on a gait motion of a user to assist an upper body of the user.

A unique portable and foldable five-device-in-one system comprises: two foldable garden tables each for holding foods and drinks thereon, two foldable elastic garden-tool caddies each attached to the one of the two foldable garden tables and each for storing garden tools therein, two spring-loaded finger-centralizing stabilizers each welded to one of the two foldable garden tables and each for releasably locking the rotatable kneeler-bench cushion, a rotatable kneeler-bench cushion for providing comfort when seated or kneeled on, and an adjustable umbrella rotatably attached to one of the two foldable garden tables and having a kneeler-bench-caddy-table-locking arm for releasably locking the two foldable garden tables right side up. The unique portable and foldable five-device-in-one system can be used as an adjustable umbrella when providing shading protection, as two foldable garden-tool caddies when the two foldable caddies store garden tools, as a rotatable garden kneeler when the rotatable kneeler-bench cushion is upside down, as a rotatable garden bench when the rotatable kneeler-bench cushion is right side up, and as two foldable garden tables when the two foldable garden tables are locked right side up.

Disclosed herein is a system for storing, transporting and containing items while operating or using any device, such as a cane, crutch, walker, stroller, bike, scooter, boat, pole, backpack or wheelchair. In one example, a disclosed system includes a pouch with a first vertical attachment member formed of hook and loop material and a second vertical attachment member having an adhesive back and a hoop and loop material front. In some examples, the pouch has horizontal attachment members which allow additional attachment points for the pouch to be secured to the device. In use, the second vertical attachment member is secured to the device by the adhesive backing and the pouch is coupled to the device by aligning and pressing the hook and loop material surface of the first vertical attachment member on the pouch with the hook and loop material of the second vertical attachment on the device.

Methods, systems, and products estimate distances to aid a visually impaired user of a mobile device. As the user carries the mobile device, a camera in the mobile device captures images of a walking cane. The images of the walking cane are analyzed to infer a distance between a tip of the walking cane and the mobile device. The distance may then be used by navigational tools to aid the visually impaired user.

An illuminated walking assistance apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides an elongated staff having a ground-engaging tip portion at a first end and a handle at an opposing second end. The staff provides a light pipe positioned proximal the tip portion and having a light-emitting member disposed therein to selectively illuminate the ground proximal the tip portion. The staff further provides a pilot light positioned in the handle which is always on so as to facilitate locating the apparatus in a dark environment.

A walking equipment with a lighting apparatus includes a main body, a mount, at least one lighting apparatus, and a power apparatus. The main body has a grip, and the mount is disposed in the main body. The lighting apparatus is connected the mount and projects a horizontal line beam and a vertical line beam. The power apparatus is electrically connected the lighting apparatus. The lighting apparatus is turned on and projects a vertical line marking and a horizontal line marking onto the ground, so the user is guided and takes a step by referring the vertical line marking and horizontal line marking to prevent falling and unforeseen accident.
