Abstract

A multi-functional cane including a handle member, a rod member coupled with the handle member, and a multi-functional circuit system distributed in the cane is provided. The multi-functional circuit system includes an alarm device, an illumination device, an expel device, a power unit, and a control unit. The power unit provides a driving power required by the devices. The control unit includes a control terminal part disposed on the handle member to operate the devices of the multi-functional circuit system. The multi-functional cane further includes a wireless communication device, a positioning device, or a Mayday device according to actual requirements. Moreover, the handle member or the rod member further has a storage space for storing an article.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multi-functional cane, comprising:
 a handle member;   a rod member, coupled with the handle member; and   a multi-functional circuit system, disposed in the handle member or the rod member, or distributed in both the handle member and the rod member, and including an alarm device and an expel device.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the multi-functional circuit system further comprises a wireless communication device. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the multi-functional circuit system further comprises a positioning device used to obtain a local position information, and the local position information is sent out via the wireless communication device when necessary. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the multi-functional circuit system further comprises a Mayday device for sending out a Mayday signal via the wireless communication device. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the wireless communication device comprises a voice device that forms an integrated structure with the handle member, and the voice device is used for communicating with the exterior, or seeks for external help by voice. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the handle member or the rod member comprises a storage space. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the storage space stores first aid medicine. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the alarm device comprises at least one of a sound alarm device and a light alarm device. 
     
     
         9 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the multi-functional circuit system further comprises an illumination device. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the expel device comprises an ultrasonic expel device for expelling animals. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the expel device comprises an ultrasonic expel device for expelling dogs. 
     
     
         12 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the multi-functional circuit system further comprises a control unit having a control terminal part that includes a plurality of control keys and is disposed on the handle member. 
     
     
         13 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the handle member comprises an opened handle structure or an enclosed handle structure. 
     
     
         14 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the rod member has a plurality of inner spaces to arrange the devices. 
     
     
         15 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the alarm device sends a Mayday signal. 
     
     
         16 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the alarm device sends an expel signal to at least expel dangerous animals around. 
     
     
         17 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a power unit, a radio device, or/and a control unit, wherein the power unit provides a required driving power, and the control unit has a control terminal part disposed on the handle member to operate the devices of the multi-functional circuit system. 
     
     
         18 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an anti-shock device, a warning device, a hook, a length adjusting element, a talking/broadcasting functional element, a mobile phone as a part of the handle member, a music playing device, and/or an automatic electric generator. 
     
     
         19 . A multi-functional cane, comprising:
 a handle member;   a rod member, mechanically coupled with the handle member to form a cane; and   a multi-functional circuit system, distributed in the handle member and/or the rod member, and including a wireless device and a storage space.   
     
     
         20 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the wireless device comprises a wireless communication device, a wireless mobile phone, a WiFi element, and/or a ZigBee element. 
     
     
         21 . The multi-functional cane as claimed in  claim 19 , further comprising an alarm device, a warning device, an illumination device, a radio device, an expel device, a positioning device, a power unit, and/or a control unit,
