The bathing wand can also include a foot (150, 180) for engaging the ground. The foot (150, 180) can be coupled to the shaft (20). In some aspects, the foot (180) can include at least two arms (186) extending from a top portion (190) towards a bottom portion (194) of the foot (180). Each of the at least two arms (186) can be coupled together through a base (188) of the of the bottom portion (194). In some aspects, at least one arm (186) can form a loop (193).
CROSS-COUNTRY SKI POLE HANDLE
The invention relates to a pole handle (1), in particular for trekking poles, Nordic walking poles, Alpine ski poles, or cross-country ski poles, comprising a handle head (2), a handle body (3), and a hook-like device (4) for securing a handling device. A movable, pivotal, or rotatable latching means (5) is arranged in the region of the hook-like device such that a loop-, ring-, or eye-shaped device, which is provided on the handling device and inserted into the hook-like device substantially from above, is fixed in the hook-like device in a self-latching manner. The hitching means is desiped in the form of a retaining lug which defines a constrained region (7) for the loop-, ring-, or eye-shaped device towards the bottom in the braced position. Additionally, a recess (8) is provided in the handle head and/or handle body from above, wherein a movably and/or rotatably mounted securing block (9) on or in which the engaging means is arranged is arranged in the recess.

Pole handle with handle loop
The invention relates to a hand-retaining device (70) for securing to a pole handle (1), comprising an insert opening (71) for the hand, a first exit opening (72) for the back of the hand, and a second exit opening (73) for the thumb. The hand-retaining device according to the invention further has a first elastic strip (74) which is led between the thumb and the other fingers and on which a coupling element (79) is provided that can be secured in or on the pole handle in a removable mechanism in a self-latching manner. The invention further relates to a pole handle to which the handle loop according to the invention can be optimally secured.
Walking cane and reacher device
A combination cane and reaching device within the cane body having a longitudinal axis and terminating in a pair of grabber ends which are concealed by a stopper at a distal end of the cane. The grabber ends are exposed when the rubber bottom of the cane is removed. The grabber ends are actuated when the cane handle at the proximal end is gripped and squeezed. The combination cane and reaching device is capable of being collapsed by folding the cane body back upon itself. This feature allows the cane to be stored in an unobtrusive manner. The combination cane and reaching device also contains a flashlight in the handle.
