ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a clamp forming part of a vertical member that is pivotally attached to a flat plate. The clamping portion holds the cylindrical or rectangular section of a cane, crutch and the like in a temporary fixed upright position with the article resting on the floor or ground. The bottom surface of the plate and the back lower part of the vertical member are lined with elastomeric non-skid surface pads. The plate is pivoted so that it can be placed on a horizontal surface such as a table top or a bench so that the non-skid surface of the plate and the back of the vertical member hold the article in an essentially vertical position. To station the article against a vertical surface, the plate is rotated so that is essentially parallel to and resting against the vertical surface. This will also be the position when the holder is not in use. The clamp can remain attached to the article at all times or easily removed, if desired. The holder is lightweight, compact, inexpensive to manufacture, and is not permanently attached to the article or a fixed surface. The holder provides the user of the article to quickly and temporarily place the article within reach on a table, bench or against the wall.
