[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable cane technology, and in particular to a portable cane for elderly people. Background Technology

[0002] Existing portable walking sticks for the elderly have many practical features, providing convenience and safety for seniors when traveling. They are mostly made of lightweight aluminum alloys, so they do not feel heavy when held for a long time and are easy for seniors to hold. In terms of design, most walking sticks are foldable and can be easily stored in a bag or car trunk when not in use, saving space.

[0003] Many existing portable canes may use push-button or plug-in adjustment methods for height adjustment. Push-button adjustment sometimes requires a lot of force to press, which is difficult for elderly people with weak hand strength to operate. Plug-in adjustment requires aligning the hole, which is cumbersome to operate. At the same time, the height adjustment range is limited and cannot precisely adapt to various heights. Therefore, we propose a portable cane for the elderly. Summary of the Invention
