Abstract: A collapsible cane having a series of interfitting smaller and larger telescoping sections which are interlocked against collapse, when extended, is disclosed. The smaller interfitting telescoping section includes an internal expansion device activated by relative rotary movement between adjacent larger and smaller interfitting telescoping sections for engagement with an inner wall of the larger interfitting telescoping section. The internal expansion device operates against a circumferential depression provided in the larger interfitting telescoping sections enabling the internal expansion device to expand against the internal wall of the larger interfitting telescoping section.
