An accessory is provided that includes power supply module, a first functional module, and a second functional module. The power supply module can be configured to be suspended beneath an overhead support, such as a hub of an umbrella. The first functional module is configured to affix to the power supply module and to be powered by the power supply module to provide a user directed function. The second functional module is configured to be detachably coupled to either the power supply module or the first functional module to receive power from the power supply module directly or through the first functional module.

A solar charging umbrella uses solar power to charge electronic devices wirelessly, such as by a wireless or inductive charging port. The umbrella is self-sustained, capable of charging electronic devices in locations away from electrical outlets. The umbrella has a rechargeable battery that is recharged by sunlight. When charged, the umbrella's battery can charge devices when sunlight is not available. The umbrella supports simultaneous charging of higher power devices such as tablet computers.

Disclosed herein is a walking cane having a grabbing mechanism operable to extend away from a base of the apparatus. The cane comprises a hollow support shaft having an upper end proximate to and engaged with a handle, and a lower end proximate to and engaged with a base having a plurality of feet extending downward away; an inner chamber defined within the hollow shaft at least partially open on the lower end through a bottom opening in the base; and a grabbing mechanism disposed within the inner chamber comprising an actuator located proximate to the upper end mechanically coupled to a pincer assembly located proximate to the base, such that movement of the actuator in a first direction causes the pincer assembly to form a closed confirmation, and movement of the actuator in a second direction opposite the first direction causes the pincer assembly to form an open confirmation.

In accordance with one or more embodiments and corresponding disclosure, various non-limiting systems, devices, and methods are described in connection with an assistive support device that provides feedback to a user. In an aspect, disclosed is a system comprising, a first sensor component that generates a first set of sensor data based on a first set of force applied to an assistive support device. The system also comprises a data repository component that stores a first set of sensor data provided by the assistive support device. Furthermore, in an aspect, the system comprises a feedback component that employs a feedback mechanism based on an occurrence of a value of an applied force to the assistive support device of the first set of force applied being greater than or less than a threshold value of an applied force.

A walking cane having an integral gripping mechanism; the walking cane having the integral gripping mechanism includes a T-shaped walking cane having an illumination member and a gripping mechanism actuated by a trigger. The gripping mechanism includes a stationary gripping lever and a mobile gripping lever hosted on an axle which is configured to move in relation to the stationary gripping lever. The walking cane having integral gripping mechanism provides users with additional independence and mobility.
