A multipurpose walking device is disclosed comprising a shaft (4) and a handle (6), the handle (6) being moveable in relation to the shaft between a first securable position and a second securable position, in which movement of the handle (6) between the first securable position and the second securable position causes a shoehorn (20) to move from a first retained position to a second deployed position. The incorporation of the shoehorn (20) into the multipurpose walking device allows a user to assist themselves when putting on footwear, while substantially reducing bending, and then to walk away. Such a restoration of mobility to a user is highly advantageous.

The invention relates to a multi functional golf tool that can be used to address a variety of circumstances that commonly arise during a game of golf. The multi functional tool includes a rectangular body having a proximal end, a tapered distal end being opposite said proximal end, the rectangular body having an arcuate cross-section along its entire length. The invention includes a deburring surface for repairing golf ball scratches, a pair of tines for divot repair and to clean golf club face grooves, and areas for marketing indicia. The shape and configuration of the invention also permits it to be used as a shoe horn.

A reacher assembly (20) combines a single shaft (22) presenting a guideway (30) and supporting a handle (40). A trigger (44) is spaced from the handle (40) and is connected to a closeable jaw (50) by a cable (56) disposed in the guideway (30). A snare (66) presents a loop controlled by a slide (72) slidably supported in a slot (74) in the shaft (22) with the snare (66) and the cable (56) extending in parallel and side by side relationship with one another in the guideway (30) of the shaft (22) for movement relative to each other. A shoehorn (60) is slideably supported by a track (58) on the shaft (22). An incapacitated person may carry only one assembly (20) to perform multiple tasks.

A shoehorn including an elongated blade defining a laterally extending arched geometry with lateral sides that are higher than the center portion and a substantially hollow handle defining a design feature selected by the user inspired by a favorite pastime such as golf, tennis, baseball, basketball, or other generally spherical members is provided. A method of producing a shoehorn including a handle feature inspired by a particular hobby of the user includes providing a polymeric material, injection molding the polymeric material into the shape of a blade as described above, and saving a significant amount of manufacturing material (at least 50%) by molding the handle feature with a substantially hollow center and about one half of the handle defining a plurality of cores therein is also provided.

A shoehorn includes a body. The body has a connection portion and two holding portions respectively connected with two ends of the connection portion. A shoe-receiving space is defined within the connection portion and the two holding portions to receive a heel of a shoe. A guiding opening is formed between two ends of the two holding portions distal to the connection portion and communicating with the shoe-receiving space. Two blocking flanges are formed on and protrude inwardly from two inner side edge portions of the holding portions to block the heel of the shoe. Given the shoehorn, the connection portion and the holding portion and the shoe-receiving space facilitate users to easily take off a shoe. A grip stick expands the user groups of the shoehorn, and a shoe-receiving tool increases shoe-wearing effectiveness when connected with the body to press the body against the ground.

An apparatus for putting on flippers retaining means of a user's foot inside a shoe of a flipper, and in which apparatus the retaining means are mechanically connected and pivoted to removable mounting means of the shoe of the flipper, the removable mounting means being removably associable to a portion of the base of the shoe.

When a person tries to put on a shoe, such as a tennis shoe or dress shoe, the back rim and quarter of the shoe often collapses inwards when the person does not use a shoehorn. The clip-on shoehorn can be installed on the back rim of the shoe to provide support and prevent the shoe back rim from collapsing in. It can be installed on a shoe all the time or can be removed and installed on another shoe. Clip-on shoehorns can be made in different sizes.
