Abstract

Disclosed herein is a walking cane having a grabbing mechanism operable to extend away from a base of the apparatus. The cane comprises a hollow support shaft having an upper end proximate to and engaged with a handle, and a lower end proximate to and engaged with a base having a plurality of feet extending downward away; an inner chamber defined within the hollow shaft at least partially open on the lower end through a bottom opening in the base; and a grabbing mechanism disposed within the inner chamber comprising an actuator located proximate to the upper end mechanically coupled to a pincer assembly located proximate to the base, such that movement of the actuator in a first direction causes the pincer assembly to form a closed confirmation, and movement of the actuator in a second direction opposite the first direction causes the pincer assembly to form an open confirmation.
