A collapsible support and shopping walker includes eight tubes of equal length that pivot in eight corner supports forming four cross braces. This four-sided cage can then flex in one direction from being fully collapsed to fully extended. Flexible fabric is attached across four corners to this cage allowing it to open about half-way between the collapsed state and full extension and can now be used as a seat. Collapsible diagonal supports, hinged at each end, form a “spider” which provides stability and enables easy opening and closing of the cage by moving the spider head up and down. In order to provide a stable chair or walker the spider must be lockable with the seat in the open position. This is arranged by letting the spider over toggle which stretches the fabric fully and tightens all the joints of the chair.

A tool is disclosed herein for facilitating the opening and closing of mail bags, money bags, tool bags, and other large bags for carrying heavy loads utilizing large zippers. For instance, mail bags have a large zipper closure. Mail workers open and close these zippers dozens of times a day. Frequently, the zippers are hard to operate. Sometimes, the zipper handle may be missing. In both of these cases, a tool of some sort would facilitate the opening and closing of the bag. The present invention provides a zipper pull tool comprising a handle with a hook disposed at a selected optimal angle with a wedge shaped distal end and an eyelet or loop disposed at the other end. The handle is economically designed to provide good grip yet not require the user to squeeze the handle minimizing risk of injury to the wrist due to repetitive motions. The hook is disposed at such an angle as to provide optimum ease for hooking to the zipper or zipper handle. The loop on the end of the tool is attached to one end of an elastic safety laniard which is removably attached to the user's clothing. A safety clip attached to the other end of the laniard will allow the laniard and tool to be safely pull loose from the clothing in the event of an emergency.

A collapsible support and shopping walker is based on the same structural principle used with four legged camping chairs. Eight lightweight tubes of equal length pivot in eight corner supports forming four cross braces. This four-sided arrangement or cage can then flex in one direction from being fully collapsed to fully extended. Flexible fabric is attached across four corners to this cage allowing it to open about half-way between the collapsed state and full extension. The suspended flexible fabric can now be used as a seat. Collapsible diagonal supports made of four aluminum members of equal length, hinged at each end, form a “spider” which provides stability and enables easy opening and closing of the cage by moving the spider head up and down like an umbrella. In order to provide a stable chair or walker the spider must be lockable with the seat in the open position. This is arranged by letting the spider over toggle or go over its opening tipping point which stretches the fabric fully and tightens all the joints of the chair.
