ABSTRACT:
A portable stabilizer apparatus is provided for a standing passenger who is standing below a ceiling in a mass transit vehicle; and the portable stabilizer apparatus includes a handle assembly which includes a hand grip region, a finger-operated latch member, and an finger-operated actuator switch. Telescopic units are connected to the handle assembly actuation and are controlled by the finger-operated latch member. The telescopic units include an end extension unit, and the end extension unit includes a suction cup for attaching to the ceiling of the vehicle. A ceiling-attachment release mechanism is housed within the telescopic units and is connected between the finger-operated actuator switch and the suction cup for releasing the suction cup from the ceiling. Extension power, either manual or mechanical, is used for extending the telescopic units toward the ceiling of the vehicle.
