Soft terrain walking assist device
A soft terrain walking assist device and foot for the same is disclosed. The walking assist device includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A handle is defined at the proximal end. A foot is attached to the distal end. The foot formed as a rounded plate having a coupling on a top surface of the rounded plate. A plurality of downwardly protruding tabs disposed in a spaced apart relation about a peripheral edge of the rounded plate. The tabs are configured to penetrate a soft terrain in a ground surface and contain a portion of the soft terrain within a containment area defined between the bottom surface and an inner face of each of the plurality of downwardly protruding tabs. The present invention allows users with a stability or strength impediment to enjoy peaceful walks on the beach while providing added stability.
WALKING STICK GRIP
A walking stick grip is defined with track slots for receiving a connecting buckle of a photographic device and with a convex portion engageable in a sliding groove of the connecting buckle and hence connectable to the photographic device. After taking pictures with the photographic device connected to the walking stick grip, the photographic device can be detached, and a cover body can be mounted on the grip, with the convex portion received in a sliding groove of the cover body, and convex sections of the cover body respectively pressed against blocking portions of the grip so that the portion of the grip that is mounted with the cover body can be gripped. The walking stick grip, therefore, facilitates picture taking as well as hiking.

Handheld electro-mechanical walking aid
A handheld electro-mechanical walking aid operably configured to detect objects or obstacles in an ambient environment and guide the user away from the detected obstacles and comprising a handle member for grasping, an electronic motor assembly, a cantilevered guide arm member operably coupled to at least one electronic motor and having an arm weight and a concentrated weight of at least approximately 0.2 lbs, at least one of a distance sensor and a camera operably configured to detect objects spatially displaced from a second free end of the arm member, and an electronic controller operably configured to receive detection of the objects spatially displaced from the second free end and cause selective rotation of the arm member in a direction away from the detected objects to generate a deviation angle θ, thereby causing an impetus to the user holding the handle member through a torque generated by the arm weight.
Pole handle
A pole handle (1), for walking sticks and the like, having a handle body (3) and a hook-like device (14) for fastening a hand strap or of a glove. A displaceable latch-in structure (7) is arranged in the region of the hook-like device (14) such that a eyelet-form device (42), which is provided on the hand strap or glove and is pushed into the hook-like device (14) essentially from above, is fixed in the hook-like device (14) with self-latching action. The pole handle (1) does not have any structure that can displace or free the latch-in structure (7), such that an eyelet-form device (42) pushed into the hook-like device (14) can be removed from a confined region (15) in a force-free manner or counter to a relatively low force, the hand strap or glove being separated from the pole handle (1) in the process.

CANE WITH MOTION INITIATED ILLUMINATOR
The device disclosed herein is a walking cane comprised of an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end includes a handle member having a grip surface and forward-facing front face. The front face comprises a steel surface for attaching an LED illuminator having a magnet attached to the illuminator. A magnet formed into or attached to the back of the LED illuminator attaches to the steel surface of the front face of the handle to hold the LED illuminator in place. The illuminator has an on-board battery to provide power to the light. The LED illuminator additionally includes a motion sensor and an ambient light sensor such that the LED illuminator when attached to the walking cane will activate upon the sensors detecting both motion of the waking cane and a low light condition.
