The new concept of walking stick
My design is a multi-functioned walking stick, the functions include
easier to carry, soft handle GPS on the walking stick allowing family
members to locate the elderly easily, foldable, and also provide space to
put the carrier bags. Also the walking stick which can be folded into a
very small object. Therefore, it is of much convenience for the users to
put it anywhere without taking much space when not using it. It also gives
users much confidence through folding it and putting it in a drawer or
cabinet. the length of the walking stick is 80 centimeters, which is
suitable for the users 140 to 180 centimeters high from the point view of
ergonomics. The handle of walking stick is 8 centimeters long, with the
largest width of 3.5 centimeters. My walking stick design is made by
aluminum alloy this kind of material is very light and firmly stable.
