ABSTRACT:
A walking stick or cane comprises a support having a foot at one end thereof and a handle at the other. A gripper device adjacent the foot includes a shoehorn assembly pivoted to the support for movement toward and away from the foot for grasping objects between the end of the foot and the shoehorn assembly. The gripper device is operated by a trigger mounted adjacent the handle and a rod generally parallel to the support. In one embodiment, the shoehorn assembly includes a shoehorn which acts to grasp an object. In another embodiment, the shoehorn assembly includes a shoehorn which does not act to grasp an object. A permanent magnet on the handle allows the user to invert the cane and pick up iron objects. Because the magnet is adjacent the handle, it does not collect floor debris during normal use.
