Lighting and Alerting Device for Walking Stick

Abstract

A lighting and alerting device for a walking stick includes a walking stick body and a control device. The control device includes a manual power generating unit and a power supply unit; electric power generated by winding the manual power generating unit is transmitted to a power storing unit for storage, and is further transmitted to a lighting unit, a light alerting unit and a sound alerting unit; the power supply unit also supplies electric power to the lighting unit, the light alerting unit and the sound alerting unit. Normally, the lighting unit, the light alerting unit and the sound alerting unit receives a power signal from the power supply unit so as to let the user to use a control switch to enable operations of the lighting unit, the light alerting unit and the sound alerting unit, to allow the walking stick to provide lighting and alerting functions during nighttime. If the power supply unit is running out of power, the user can wind the manual power generating unit to generate temporary power to enable operations of the lighting unit, the light alerting unit and the sound alerting unit.
