Walking cane

A height adjustable walking cane selectively positionable between a collapsed orientation, an elongate orientation and a plurality of intermediate orientations therebetween, comprising:

• a) an outer tube having a top end and a bottom end and defining a pin hole proximate said bottom end;
• b) an inner tube slidably received within said outer tube, said inner tube having an inner tube wall defining a plurality of apertures therethrough;
• c) a translating rod assembly having a central fixed rod and a concentrically mounted translating member;
• d) an actuating assembly including an actuating button proximate said top end of said outer tube and coupled to a first end of said translating member;
• and
• e) a pin assembly located at said bottom end of said outer tube and comprising a pin adapted to selectively reciprocally translate between an extended position wherein said pin engages a selected aperture of said plurality of apertures defined within said inner tube wall and said pin hole defined in said outer tube, and a retracted position wherein said pin disengages from said pin hole defined in said outer tube,
• wherein application of an actuation force upon said actuating button causes said pin to move from said extended position to said retracted position such that said inner tube slidably translates within said outer tube.
