Abstract

A walking instrument is provided consisting of a shaft, a clamping mechanism and a gripping mechanism. The shaft consists of a top portion and a bottom portion. The clamping mechanism is connected to the top portion of the shaft and allows the user to attach said walking instrument to a fixed object. The gripping mechanism is connected to bottom portion of the shaft and allows the user to grasp an object.

1 . A walking instrument, comprising:
 a shaft having a top end portion and a bottom end portion;   a clamping mechanism connected to said top end portion of said shaft and adapted to attach said walking instrument to a fixed object; and   a gripping mechanism connected to said bottom end of said shaft and adapted to grasp an object.   
   
   
       2 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said clamping mechanism includes a top member having a first and second opening defining a hand hold and being slidably movable relative to said shaft, and a stationary bottom member. 
   
   
       3 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein said shaft has a vertical slot and said top member slides in said slot. 
   
   
       4 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein said first handhold opening protrudes from a first side of said shaft and said second handhold protrudes from a second side of said shaft. 
   
   
       5 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 2 , including a coil spring in said shaft above said top member biasing said top member toward said bottom member. 
   
   
       6 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 2  including a handle on said top end of said shaft above said handhold so that a user can grasp said handle and said handhold with one hand. 
   
   
       7 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said gripping mechanism includes a hook adapted to grasp an object and a rod coupled to said hook. 
   
   
       8 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 7  wherein said rod moves up and down in said shaft and said hook moves between a closed position and an open position. 
   
   
       9 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 7  wherein said rod is inside said shaft. 
   
   
       10 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 7  wherein said rod is connected to said clamping mechanism. 
   
   
       11 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 10 , wherein said rod couples said clamping mechanism with said gripping mechanism. 
   
   
       12 . A walking instrument, as set forth in  claim 7  wherein said hook includes a series of notched ends. 
   
   
       13 . A walking instrument comprising:
 a shaft having a top end portion and a bottom end portion; and   a clamping mechanism connected to said top end portion of said shaft and adapted to attach said walking instrument to a fixed object.   
   
   
       14 . A walking instrument as set forth in  claim 13  wherein said clamping mechanism includes a top member having a first and second opening defining a handhold and being slidably movable relative to said shaft, and a stationary bottom member. 
   
   
       15 . A walking instrument as set forth in  claim 13  wherein said shaft has a vertical slot and said top member slides in said slot and wherein said first handhold opening protrudes from a first side of said shaft and said second handhold protrudes from a second side of said shaft. 
   
   
       16 . A walking instrument as set forth in  claim 13  including a coil spring in said shaft above said top member biasing said top member toward said bottom member and including a handle on said top end of said shaft above said handhold so that a user can grasp said handle and said handhold with one hand. 
   
   
       17 . A walking instrument comprising:
 a shaft having a top end portion and a bottom end portion; and   a gripping mechanism connected to said bottom end of said shaft and adapted to grasp a movable object.   
   
   
       18 . A walking instrument as set forth in  claim 17 , wherein said gripping mechanism includes a hook adapted to grasp an object and a rod coupled to said hook and wherein said rod moves up and down inside said shaft and said hook moves between an open and closed position. 
   
   
       19 . A walking instrument as set forth in  claim 17  wherein said rod is inside said shaft and said rod is connected to said clamping mechanism. 
   
   
       20 . A walking instrument as set forth in  claim 17  wherein said rod couples said clamping mechanism with said gripping mechanism.
