Description
Ordinary canes need special skills and laborious efforts to prevent sticking. The Palmtip is a cane tip of less sticking. It helps a sure and easy cane travel for those who are not good at special skills and those who like to walk securely with ease.
* Less sticking makes many advantages: The ground can be understood more comprehensively because the tip moves above ground freely and easily by not points but lines. The texture of ground can be known by the change of slipping and sound. You can even feel a puddle. Stumble or fall can be prevented surely because the tip moves with constant touching just in front of you where the next step proceeds. Pavement can be trailed along a line of groove, ridge, difference of texture and such. Fatigue can be reduced because of less sticking shocks with less need of lifting the cane. It can be used as an ordinary cane, and moreover, devised techniques would be possible. to Top
Features
The PT411-12 is the push-on style Palmtip for shafts of 12 mm to 12.7 mm (a half inch) diameters.
* The unique cushion structure connects the head and the neck. The neck has a hollow to fit the shaft. The head is rocked by the sticking stress to let it on the protrusion of the ground, then the head returns to slip over the irregularity. Large 40 mm diameter head can prevent catching. Light 20 gram weight and 55 mm length. The head is made of ultra-polymer which is slippery and lasts several times longer than nylon. The neck is made of nylon which is elastic. The cushion is made of robust rubber foam.
* Attaching: Push the shaft to fit the hollow. Tap the head at a concrete floor vertically several times to push the shaft gradually into the hollow. When it is cold, soak it in warm water for a while beforehand.
* Detaching: Hold the neck by a rubber glove or the pliers, and twist off the shaft. to Top
