Cane Holding Device

Abstract

A cane holding device securable to a wearer's belt. The cane holding device includes a panel having a tubular member thereon, wherein the upper end and lower end of the tubular member are open. A cane can be positioned through the tubular member and the tubular member is sized to allow the elongated rod of the cane to pass therethrough while preventing the handle from passing therethrough. The upper end of the panel includes a loop through which a user's belt can be threaded in order to secure the cane holding device onto the user. Alternatively, the upper end may include mating fasteners adapted to form a loop for removable securement to the user's belt or other similar area of the user's body or garments.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A cane holding device, comprising:
 a panel having an upper end and a lower end;   a loop having an opening therethrough, wherein said loop is disposed on said upper end and is adapted to receive a belt therethrough;   a tubular member disposed on said panel, said tubular member having an open upper end and an open lower end such that a cane can be inserted through said tubular member.   
     
     
         2 ) The cane holding device of  claim 1 , wherein said panel is substantially planar. 
     
     
         3 ) The cane holding device of  claim 1 , wherein said loop is permanently affixed to said upper end of said panel. 
     
     
         4 ) The cane holding device of  claim 1 , wherein said loop is removably formed by securing a pair of mating fasteners disposed on said panel. 
     
     
         5 ) The cane holding device of  claim 4 , wherein said mating fasteners are magnets. 
     
     
         6 ) The cane holding device of  claim 1 , wherein said tubular member is sized so as to allow a rod portion of said cane to extend therethrough while preventing a handle of said cane from passing therethrough. 
     
     
         7 ) The cane holding device of  claim 1 , wherein said panel is composed of fabric.
