Abstract: A walking cane that provides a remote internal object gripping mechanism is described. The gripping mechanism is comprised of gripping prongs which is part of a connecting rod linkage to the upper structure of the walking cane. The gripping prongs and rod linkage is controlled within an inner sleeve at the lower end of the cane which houses the gripping prongs when the mechanism is in the retracted position. The inner sleeve also serves as a base for the end of the cane housing when inserted into the cane tip. The rod linkage is actuated in a down and up motion to obtain a complete gripping action. The upper end of the rod linkage extends thru a slotted portion of the cane wherein is attached an inner spacer and an outer knob. The spacer prevents the rod linkage from protruding thru the slotted opening. In the full retracted position the gripping mechanism can be locked by rotating it in a clockwise position.
