CA 2098231

A combined stability cane and device for assisting a handicapped person in traveling up and down a flight of stairs having vertically spaced steps is disclosed. A rectangular block member or platform has a flat upper surface within which a connector mechanism is provided at its central area, and a second connector mechanism is provided in the upper surface adjacent one of the sides of the block member and opposite the central area. A walking cane having a cooperative connector mechanism adjacent its lower end is provided to alternatively rigidly connect the same to one of the two connector mechanisms in the upper surface of the block member. When the cane is connected to the connector mechanism at the central area of block member, the combination functions as an excellent stability cane. When the cane is connected to the connector mechanism adjacent one side of the block member, the latter functions as a half-step which the handicapped person may utilize to facilitate travel up and down the steps by taking only a half-step at a time, at first on the block member and then upon the next step, thereby reducing the elevation change required through a series of half-steps. Alternatively, the walking cane may be disconnected from the block member so as to use the same in its normal manner.
