A cane tip (12) has a body having an upper portion and a lower portion provided with a preferably concave traction surface. The lower portion tapers toward the upper portion and preferably includes three narrow, substantially planar regions sloping down toward the traction surface interposed by three preferably arcuate, web-like regions which together form a generally compact triangular footprint having truncated corners and arcuate sides. The body includes a bore which enters through the upper portion of the body and terminates above the traction surface and which receives and holds the lower end of the cane. The bore preferably includes a plurality of circumferential ribs which assist in securing the end of the cane. A reinforcing plate and sleeve are also provided. The cane tip permits the cane to be self-standing.

La présente invention concerne un embout antidérapant (12) pour canne composé d'un corps comportant une partie supérieure et une partie inférieure présentant de préférence une surface de traction concave. La partie inférieure remonte en cône vers la partie supérieure et comprend, de préférence, trois régions étroites pratiquement planes s'inclinant vers le bas, en direction de la surface de traction interposée par trois régions, de préférence arquées de type réseau, formant ensemble une empreinte généralement compacte et triangulaire, présentant des bords tronqués et des côtés arqués. Le corps de l'embout comprend un alésage qui commence à la partie supérieure du corps et s'arrête au-dessus de la surface de traction, et qui sert à recevoir et maintenir la partie inférieure de la canne. L'alésage comprend de préférence plusieurs nervures circonférentielles facilitant la fixation de l'extrémité de la canne. Cette invention concerne par ailleurs une plaque et un joint de renfort. De plus, cet embout de canne confère à la canne des caractéristiques d'auto-stabilité.
