Abstract: A cane includes a remotely-operated jaw. The jaw is defined by a single moving element, mounted to pivot about a point which is spaced apart from the lower portion of the shaft of the cane. A rod, connected at one end to a trigger, and connected at another end to the moving element, causes the element to pivot when the trigger is pulled, and thus causes the jaw to close. A locking pin, located near the trigger, locks the rod in place, so that the product can be used as an ordinary cane. The rod, the jaw, and the trigger are permanently held outside of the body of the cane, so that the structural integrity of the cane is not compromised.
