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.

The present invention may provide a wallet-type portable umbrella comprising: an umbrella including a grip portion; a case including a storage portion which includes a storage space in which the umbrella is accommodated, and a cover portion which can be fastened to the grip portion and opens and closes the storage portion; and a coupling unit for fastening the grip portion and the cover portion.

Two-in-one walking supports and methods of using the walking support. The walking supports include first and second shaft portions and a handle assembly that has first and second handles. A latching mechanism is incorporated into the first and second handles and is configured to releasably couple the first and second handles to form the handle assembly and a single walking support configuration with the first and second shaft portions abutting one another and being configured to decouple the first and second handles and separate the first and second shaft portions to form a two-piece walking support configuration.

A grip device for a pole includes a grip and a wrist strap unit. The grip has a connecting part that defines a connecting space therein, and that has a lower portion and a protruding portion disposed in the connecting space. The wrist strap unit includes a connecting member that engages removably the connecting space, and that has a tail part. The tail part is pivotable between a locked position, where the tail part is adjacent to the lower portion so that the connecting member is retained in the connecting space by the protruding portion, and an unlocked position, where the tail part is away from the lower portion and the protruding portion so that the connecting member is permitted to be separated from the connecting part.
