  • Apparatus for aiding mobility of a user
    Patent number: 10105278
    Abstract: An apparatus for aiding mobility of a user comprises inner and outer shafts each having a grip projecting transversely therefrom. The inner shaft is receivable in the hollow outer shaft and a locking mechanism is provided for securing the inner shaft in fixed relation to the outer shaft in a manner providing a plurality of configurations of the apparatus. Generally speaking, the configurations of the apparatus include a nested configuration in which the inner shaft is substantially entirely received in the outer shaft so as to present the grips in close proximity to one another, and an extended configuration in which the inner shaft projects along an axis of the apparatus beyond a top of the outer shaft so that the grips are in axially spaced relation. The inner and outer shafts may also be separated so that each forms a separate cane for use in one hand of the user.
