Abstract
A cane hanger adapted to stably support a walking cane on a horizontal surface includes a body having a base attachable to a side of a walking cane, a beam projecting away from the base, a leg depending from a distal end of the beam, and a support engagement surface either at a bottom of the leg or located on a foot pivotably attached to a distal end of the leg.
Claims13
A walking cane hanger, comprising:
- a base including a curved cane engagement surface contoured to conform with and continuously abut a circumferential portion of a side surface of a walking cane;
- a beam projecting laterally away from the base;
- a leg extending downwardly from an end of the beam that is distal of the cane engagement surface;
- and
- a support engagement surface at a bottom of the leg, the support engagement surface being substantially flat and configured for frictionally engaging a flat horizontal support surface;
- wherein the base, the beam and the leg are integral parts of a one-piece body and are not hinged or articulated with respect to each other;
- and
- wherein the support engagement surface is a rubber pad bonded to the bottom of the leg or a rubber coating applied to the bottom of the leg.
