[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cane shaft 10 is formed by a plurality of tubes connected in a common axial direction. The cane shaft 10 comprises a top tube 11, a bottom tube 12, and a plurality of intermediate tubes 13 detachably connected in a common axial direction between the top tube 11 and the bottom tube 12. The top tube 11 is located at the top of the entire cane shaft 10. A fixing hole 111 is radially (i.e., transversely) penetrated through the outer circumference of the top tube 11. An elongated hole 112 is radially (i.e., transversely) penetrated through the outer circumference of the top tube 11. The elongated hole 112 extends axially and is located above the fixing hole 111.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 20 is connected to the bottom end of the bottom tube 12 of the rod body 10, and the base 20 has appropriate elasticity.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 The seat and grip pad 30 is integrally formed. It has a grip portion 31 at one end and a seat portion 32 at the other end, integrally connected to the grip portion 31. A grip hole 33 is formed between the grip portion 31 and the seat portion 32. This grip hole 33 allows a finger to pass through and the palm of the hand to grip the grip portion 31. A pivot slot 321 extends axially inward from the free end of the seat portion 32. A vertical insertion hole 322 extends axially from the interior of the seat portion 32 at the distal end of the pivot slot 321. The vertical insertion hole 322 is axially connected to the pivot slot 321. A flat insertion hole 323 extends radially from the interior of the seat portion 32 and radially connects to the pivot slot 321. One side of the pivot slot 321 is an open pivot opening 324, connecting the side of the pivot slot 321 to the outside world. A pivot insertion hole 325 extends radially through the outer surface of the seat portion 32, connecting to the pivot slot 321.

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figures 4 to 6The elastic member 40 is a tension spring. The elastic member 40 is placed in the top tube 11 of the rod body 10.

[0034] See also Figure 1 and Figures 4 to 6 The fixing member 50 is a latch. The fixing member 50 is inserted into the fixing hole 111 of the wand body 10 and is connected to the bottom end of the elastic member 40 (ie, the fixing member 50 passes through the bottom end of the elastic member 40).

[0035] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 6 The insert 60 is a combination of a bolt 61 and a nut 62. The top tube 11 of the shaft 10 is inserted into the pivot groove 321 of the grip pad 30. The insert 60 is inserted into the pivot socket 325 of the grip pad 30 and the elongated hole 112 of the shaft 10, and is connected to the top end of the elastic member 40 (i.e., the insert 60 passes through the top end of the elastic member 40). The insert 60 movably connects the shaft 10 and the grip pad 30, allowing the grip pad 30 to pivot relative to the shaft 10 between a gripping position and a cushioning position.

[0036] Therefore, the above is an introduction to the various components and assembly methods of a sitting and walking cane 100 provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Next, its usage characteristics are introduced as follows:

[0037] When you want to use this creation as a walking stick, Figure 2 and Figure 4 First, the seat grip pad 30 is pivoted to an upright position, and the elastic member 40 provides a pulling force to pull the seat grip pad 30 toward the pole shaft 10, so that the top end of the top tube 11 of the pole shaft 10 is inserted into the vertical insertion hole 323 of the seat grip pad 30 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown), the seat grip pad 30 is now upright and fixed in the gripping position, and the user's fingers can pass through the gripping holes 33 of the seat grip pad 30 and grasp the gripping portion 31 of the seat grip pad 30 with the palm of the hand, so that the invention can be used as a walking stick.

[0038] When the user needs to take a break after walking for a while, he can pull the seat pad 30 upwards (or pull the pole body downwards) with a little force, so that the insertion member 60 moves upwards in the elongated hole 112, and the top tube 11 of the pole body 10 is removed from the vertical insertion hole 322 (such as Figure 5 Then, the seat and grip pad 30 can be rotated 90 degrees (the vertical insertion hole and the flat insertion hole are at a 90-degree angle) so that the top tube 111 of the pole body 10 now corresponds to the flat insertion hole 323 of the seat and grip pad 30 (as shown). Figure 6 As shown), the seat grip pad 30 is then released, and the elastic member 40 provides the seat grip pad 30 with an elastic force to move toward the pole body 10, and the top end of the top tube 11 of the pole body 10 is inserted into the flat insertion hole 323 of the seat grip pad 30, so that the seat grip pad 30 is laid flat and fixed in the seat position, so that the user's buttocks can sit on the seat grip pad 30 that is laid flat and fixed in the seat position (as shown). Figure 7 As shown), and supported on the ground by the pole body 10.

[0039] Thus, since the seat and grip pad body 30 of the present invention can be easily pulled, turned, and placed, and can be converted and fixed between an upright holding position and a flat seat position, it can be used as a walking stick or as a temporary chair, which greatly increases the scope of application of the present invention and enhances its convenience in use, thereby increasing its market competitiveness.

[0040] In addition, although the base 20 is presented in the form of a single column in the above embodiment, in reality, Figure 8 As shown, the base 20 may also be in a multi-column configuration to increase support when walking and riding.

[0041] Secondly, the invention may further include a rope loop 70, such as Figure 9 As shown, the rope loop 70 is combined with the grip portion 31 of the seat grip pad 30 and is partially exposed to the outside for the user's hand to penetrate, thereby preventing the invention from slipping out of the user's hand.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the pole body 10 is formed by the top tube 11, the bottom tube 12 and the middle tube 13 being connected together. Therefore, when the user returns home or wants to go out, the pole body 10 can be detached and the rope loop 70 can be used to tighten the top tube 11, the bottom tube 12 and the middle tube 13 (e.g. Figure 10 As shown), the length is reduced to facilitate storage at home or in a bag, thereby increasing the convenience of the creation.

[0043] In particular, in order to prevent the top tube, bottom tube and middle tube from being separated after being disassembled, a rope body (not shown) can also be provided inside the rod body to prevent the top tube, bottom tube and middle tube from being separated.

[0044] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment provided by this creation and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this creation. All equivalent changes made by relevant technical personnel in this technical field based on this creation should fall within the scope covered by this creation.
