Abstract
A walking cane system including of a remote control device having a user interface and a first transmission system; and a walking cane having a shaft configured with a proximal end and a distal end, a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft, a base coupled to the distal end of the shaft, one or more elongated members housed within the shaft, a second transmission system, and a motor system; wherein the actuation of remote control device causes the walking cane to raise itself into a vertical, upright orientation.
Claims2
A walking cane system, comprising:
- a remote control device, the remote control device having:
- a user interface configured to receive user input;
- and
- a first transmission system;
- and
- a walking cane, the walking cane having:
- a shaft configured with a proximal end and a distal end;
- a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft;
- a base coupled to the distal end of the shaft;
- one or more elongated members housed within the shaft;
- one or more elasticized cords;
- one or more return springs;
- an adjuster;
- a second transmission system;
- a power box;
- and
- a motor system;
- wherein the one or more elongated members are configured to push and lift the walking cane into a vertical orientation;
- wherein the elasticized cords and the return springs are in communication with the elongated members to move the elongated members;
- wherein the adjuster is configured to adjust the length of the walking cane along a vertical axis;
- wherein the power box is configured to supply and control electrical power within the walking cane;
- and
- wherein the motor system is configured to drive the elongated members out of the shaft and through the base;
- wherein the first transmission system is configured to generate one or more signals based on user input and transmit said one or more signals to the second transmission system;
- wherein the second transmission system is configured to receive one or more signals from the first transmission system;
- and
- wherein the second transmission system is configured to activate the motor system based on the one or more signals received from the first transmission system.
