A multi-legged foldable cane chair with a folding geometry such that the members fold into a cane-like shape and unfold into a chair-like seat. The members and braces are joined such that one rear leg, one front leg, one armrest, and one seat bar comprise one side of the cane chair, while a rear brace and front brace separate the sides of the chair, and a seat and backrest provide areas for the user to sit and relieve weight. A handle provides a hand grip if the cane chair is used as a walking or standing aid.

A multi-functional activity management system for elderly utilizes prior art walking sticks to manage big data related to activity of elderly persons. In addition, new improvements have been made upon prior art walking sticks. By incorporating umbrella function into the walking stick, the stem portion becomes narrower and shorter, thereby making it easy to be inserted into the thin walking stick. New functions have been developed from the prior art walking sticks for better use by the elderly persons.

The present invention relates to a ventilated umbrella, which may include a ventilated umbrella holder which is formed in the shape of a hollow pipe and includes a plurality of air inlet holes through which air is introduced and an air discharge part formed on the upper side of the air inlet holes, a body part which is formed in the shape of a hollow pipe and includes a body inlet hole and a body discharge part corresponding to the air inlet hole and the air discharge part of the ventilated umbrella holder, and a stopper which is coupled to the body part and located inside the body discharge part and discharges air introduced through the air inlet hole to the outside through the body discharge part and blocks fluid introduced from the outside through the body discharge part.

A collapsible structure connection system and method including an apparatus having a pair of mated ferrules, at least one pivoting pin and at least one slider arm. Each ferrule couples to a rod segment of the structure, the ferrules connecting the rod segments when mated, but allowing the rod segments to rotate into a collapsed structure. The apparatus has a locking system in one example embodiment. The systems include a bracket, at and at least one locking device to fix the rod segments in a preferred configuration. An alternate apparatus and collapsible structure connection system includes a pair of mated ferrules each having a lengthwise slot, a connector arm and pivoting pins. The connector arm rotates around the pivoting pins within the slots of the ferrules, allowing the ferrules to rotate into various positions when selectively connecting and collapsing rod segments.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for multi-segment mid-weighted trekking poles are provided. A typical three-segment trekking (or other) pole may have a light-weight middle segment replaced, for example, with one or more weighted segments designed to mate with the original upper and lower segments thereof.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for multi-segment weighted trekking poles are provided. A typical three-segment trekking (or other) pole may benefit from removable annular-shaped weights that may provide liquid storage and may be retained in position by one or more weight locks. The standard basket and tip protector may be replaced with a combined tip protector and basket element that threads onto a bottom segment of the pole.

An improved cane is disclosed. The improved cane can include a handle, a leg, and grip portions. The handle can attach perpendicularly on top of the leg to form a T-shape. A first portion of the handle can be on a first side of the leg. A second portion of the handle can be on a second side of the leg. The grip portions can have a first grip portion wrapped around the first portion of the handle, a second grip portion wrapped around the second portion of the handle, and a plurality of leg grip portions together extending substantially from a first end of the leg to a second end of the leg and intermittent around a circumference of the leg.

An apparatus that imparts a propelling force upon a body when stepping forward during walking motion is comprised of and assembled concentrically together with a stick, pin, elastic tube, coupler, and hand held grip. The user rotates the apparatus in a forward circular motion towards the same direction of travel about a fixed location at the stick bottom on the ground surface. An impulse occurs from the apparatus upon the ground surface that is caused by the arm and upper body muscular contractions working against the elongation of the elastic tube. Then the coupler that is attached to the recoiling elastic tube attains a momentum that equals the combined masses of the coupler and grasped hand multiplied by the resultant of the tangential and radial velocity vectors. Both resultant impulse and momentum vectors are combined with the user's forward momentum because the user holds onto the grip of the device.
