Patent attributes
The illuminated walking cane comprises a shank, a finial, a plurality of LEDs, one or more batteries, and an on/off control. The walking stick may provide support to a user while walking or hiking. The plurality of LEDs covering the shank may provide illumination and increase visibility after dusk and at night. The plurality of LEDs are powered by the one or more batteries and are turned on or off using the on/off control which may be located on the finial at the top of the shank. The illuminated walking cane may further comprise a blinker circuit and a blinker control. The blinker circuit may interrupt the electrical circuit powering the plurality of LEDs in a repeating pattern, thus causing the plurality of LEDs to blink. Multiple blink patterns may be selected by activating the blinker control on the finial.
