ABSTRACT:
A multi-function lighted walking cane which may be used in the dark as a cane for lighting the user's walkway and may also be used as a beacon to show the user's position to others. The light-emitting portion of this invention is housed adjacent and within a translucent or transparent lens positioned near the lower end of the cane. It may optionally have a raised lens shape which enhances the light-dispersing characteristics of the cane. The lens is positioned so that light is cast forward of the user along the ground. A plurality of small apertures may also be provided in the hollow cane adjacent the light source around the remaining surface juxtaposed to the lens to provide the beacon light function. This lower portion of the cane, housing the light source near its lower end, contains the battery and the power supply. The length of the cane may is made adjustable. The cane has a connector for attaching a battery charger to recharge batteries in the cane.
