Abstract:

Solid metal components welded together result in Strong and Versatile Spike Attachments for Walking Sticks and Canes, Retrieving Sticks, and Miscellaneous Walking Assistance Devices design, which coupled with the semi-flexible attachment design and with several sizes being available, may be attached to existing walking and retrieving sticks, canes, crutches, walkers, etc. Since a precise fit is not necessary, the user can make or have made a customized walking or retrieving stick or a cane as to a desired size, overall length, curvature, texture, twist, weight, etc., from readily available materials. This spike and spike attachment invention should be very beneficial for snow and ice conditions or steep and slippery slopes for avid hikers, all walkers, and especially for people that are not secure on their feet without some assistance.
