An Improved Cane, The Cane Lift
New York, NY, July 11, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Cane users, now there is an improved cane. One that aids in transitioning from a seated to upright position unaided by others. A specially designed walking cane, the Cane Lift has a mechanical lift mechanism incorporated into its design and serves to gently spring the cane upwards in order to enable users who are sitting, to more easily stand, or vice versa. It allows cane users to enjoy greater independence and improves their sense of self-sufficiency. Televised test marketing has been completed indicating an exceptional consumer response to the Cane Lift.
The Patent Pending Cane Lift was invented by Vincenzo Ficarrotta of Huntington, NY, who said, “Similar in general appearance to a traditional cane, the Cane Lift has a curved, ergonomically designed, non-slip hand-grip, and a square shaped support leg platform with four, heavy duty feet which securely grip smooth and uneven ground surfaces. But the most notable aspect of the Cane Lift is found in its mechanical components. The handle of the cane lift cane has a spring-loaded retractor mechanism that enables the user to easily lower the handle to accommodate the users seated position. The retraction and expansion of the cane's handle is activated by a simple push button release mechanism located at the top of the cane. This release also serves to lock the cane at the desired height for stability during use.”
The inventor added, “Many people have mobility challenges and use a cane, those who suffer from arthritis, obesity, paralysis, palsy or scoliosis and those who have had surgery or broken bones. Anyone who uses a cane should appreciate that the Cane Lift can help them in the oftentimes arduous task of getting into or out of a favorite chair, sofa, or even their bed. ”
