  • Patent number: 7600523
    Abstract: An adjustable cane includes a shaft with proximal and distal ends. The shaft has a hollow cavity formed therein and extending along a major length of the shaft and terminating subjacent to the proximal end. A stop member is threadably attached to the distal end of the shaft and extends about an entire circumference thereof. A handle has upper and lower portions, and the lower portion is removably attached to the proximal end of the shaft. A rectilinear core member with top and bottom ends is telescopically interfitted within the distal end of the shaft and penetrates the cavity, and a cap is removably fitted over the bottom end. A mechanism telescopically adjusts the core member within the shaft in such a manner that the shaft remains statically affixed to the handle while the core member linearly displaces along the distal end of the shaft.
