Strap Attachment to More Easily Right Walking Cane

Abstract

A strap that can retrofitted to a walking cane that will prevent the cane from falling flat on the floor. The strap uses two cane elevating towers to that are securely attached to the strap that will prevent the cane from resting flat on the floor. These towers will create a fulcrum on the opposite end of the cane that allows a user to step on the fulcrum and right the cane. The strap is attached to the cane by using a double sided tape on the back side of the strap along with a set of self engaging members on the two halves of the strap. A standard snap fastener can serve as this set of self engaging members.
