Abstract:
1. A cane comprising a cane shaft having an upper end and a lower end thereof; and a two-piece handle affixed to the upper end of the cane shaft, the handle including a rigid body portion defining a low gripping surface of the handle, and a top portion attached to the body portion, the top portion being of soft and resilient material with respect to the body portion, thereby forming a hand grip having soft and resilient top and rigid bottom sides opposite to each other, the soft and resilient top portion in a longitudinal cross-sectional view of said top portion, having a middle area thicker than an area around the middle area to form an upward projection of the soft and resilient material extending from the top side, in order to allow impact absorption and solid gripping when a user's hand grasps the top and bottom sides of the hand grip, whereby the top portion mates substantially seamlessly with a cut off area of the body portion.
