Cane Adapter for Firearm with Integral Holster

Abstract

The disclosed device is a barrel and chamber blocking shaft or rod that acts as an extension of a pistol. The extension provides the additional function of forming a cane, the pistol becoming the handle of the cane, which the user can use as a walking aid. When used in accordance with design claimed herein, the cane allows for ease of use in that no hip holster is required and the rod or shaft can be removed with the use of only one hand.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device to render a firearm safe, while allowing the firearm to serve as a handle for a walking cane for a user, the firearm including a barrel, a muzzle, and a chamber, the firearm having a length, the device comprising:
 a slideably removeable insertion section;
 the slidably removeable insertion section adapted to slide within the barrel and the chamber of the firearm; 
 the slidably removeable insertion section sized to block both the barrel and the chamber of the firearm; 
   a supporting section;
 the supporting section adapted to extend beyond the firearm by a supporting length equal to or greater than the length of the firearm; 
   the slidably removeable insertion section and the supporting section joined at a load-bearing face;
 the load-bearing face adapted to rest against the muzzle of the firearm; 
   a holster portion, the holster portion having an opening and a tip;
 the tip connected to the load-bearing face and the opening extending toward the slidably removable insertion section; 
 the holster portion adapted to partially surround the firearm, thereby stabilizing the firearm; 
   a cane tip;
 the cane tip affixed to the supporting section opposite the load-bearing face; 
   a groove placed along the slidably removeable insertion section; and   an o-ring within the groove;   whereby friction of the o-ring against the barrel prevents the device from sliding out of the firearm during use; and   wherein the slidably removable insertion section is entirely removable through the muzzle.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the cane tip further comprises a stepping surface;
 the stepping surface being a substantially flat surface adapted to allow the user to place a foot on the stepping surface to hold the device in place while the firearm is removed.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a groove placed along the slidably removeable insertion section; and   an o-ring within the groove;   whereby friction of the o-ring against the barrel prevents the device from sliding out of the firearm during use.   
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the slidably removable insertion section and the supporting section are joined at a threaded connection, allowing the slidably removeably insertion section and the supporting section to be detached from each other. 
     
     
         5 . A device to allow a user to use a firearm as a handle for a cane, the device comprising:
 a support body that removably affixes to the firearm by sliding through a muzzle into a firearm barrel;
 the support body extending a length of the firearm, thereby creating the cane; 
 the support body including a support section and an insertion section; 
   an integral holster, the integral holster extending outward from the support section, partially surrounding the insertion section;   the insertion section of the support body blocking at least a portion of a chamber of the firearm, thereby preventing the firearm from being discharged;   wherein the insertion section is removed only and fully through the muzzle.   
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a groove placed around the insertion section; and   an o-ring within the groove;   whereby friction created by the o-ring against the firearm barrel prevents the device from inadvertently sliding out of the firearm during use.   
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 a cane tip;   the cane tip at a lower end of the support body;   the cane tip of a material softer than a material of the support body.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the cane tip further comprises a stepping surface;
 the stepping surface being a substantially flat surface adapted to allow the user to place a foot on the stepping surface to hold the device in place while the firearm is removed.   
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the insertion section and the support body are joined at a threaded connection, allowing the insertion section and support body to be detached from each other. 
     
     
         10 . A device to adapt a firearm for use as a walking cane, the device comprising:
 an elongate body, the elongate body including
 a support section, 
 an insertion section, 
 the support section being larger in diameter than the insertion section creating a load-bearing face on the support section adjacent to the insertion section, and 
 whereby the insertion section is slidably removably inserted into a barrel of the firearm; and 
   an integral holster, the integral holster affixed to the load-bearing face and encompassing the insertion section so that when the elongate body is joined to the firearm, the barrel of the firearm rests within the integral holster.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a groove located on the insertion section; and   an o-ring within the groove;   whereby friction between the o-ring and the barrel prevents the device from sliding out during use.   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a cane tip;   the cane tip located on an opposite end of the elongate body from the insertion section;   the cane tip of a semi-flexible material.   
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the cane tip further comprises:
 a lip, the lip adapted to allow a user to step on and secure the elongate body while the firearm is separated from the insertion section.
