Abstract (en)

An adjustable walking cane (70) includes an inner tube (10), an outer tube (20), a connecting rod (30), a pushing unit (40) and an extending unit (50). A spring compresses the connecting rod (30) against the extending unit (50) and the pushing unit (40), a resilient sleeve (54) bears against the inner threaded segment (23) on the outer tube (20), and then the length of the outer tube and inner tube can be fixed. In the extending process, the inner tube and the outer tube extend outwardly by pulling the cane from two ends thereof, and the inner tube and the outer tube are released from compression while the resilient sleeve (54) is detached from the inner threaded segment. In the retracting process, the inner tube and the outer tube are released from compression while the extending pieces on the extending unit driven by controlling unit is detached from the taper surface (41) of the pushing unit (40).
