Walking aid cane

A walking aid cane construction comprising:

• a central support member having an upper end, a lower end and a longitudinal axis;
• four legs rigidly connected to said lower end for contact with a supporting surface;
• each of said legs having a body portion and a foot portion;
• the body portions of said legs being generally transversely connected to said member with the foot portions depending downwardly from the outer ends of the body portions for contact with a supporting surface;
• said support member having an inner region that faces the user's leg and an outer region that faces away from the user's leg;
• said foot portions having lower ends which are positioned in a plane that is generally transverse to said support member with said lower ends positioned generally at the corners of a rectangle within said plane;
• said support member having a front region which faces generally in the direction of movement of the user and a rear region which faces generally in a reverse direction to said direction of movement;
• said rectangle having a front side and a rear side which are generally parallel and are positioned generally transverse to the direction of movement of the user;
• said rectangle having an inner side and an outer side which are generally parallel and are positioned generally in alignment with the direction of movement of the user;
• said inner side being positioned closer to the axis of said support member than said outer side and said front side and said rear side being positioned at about the same distance from the axis of said member;
• said rectangle having inner corners formed by intersection of said inner side with said front and rear sides and outer corners formed by the intersection of said outer side with said front and rear sides;
• the body portions of the legs which terminate at said inner corners being shorter than the body portions of the legs which terminate at said outer corners;
• handle means adjustably connected to said support member for vertical positioning with respect thereto and being aligned with the direction of travel, and
• support means to provide support for supported lengths of said body portions with the support means being shaped and positioned to provide unsupported lengths of the body portions which have a substantially equal resistance to bending forces.
