The present area of technology provides a device that may releasably hold
an elongated cylindrical object such as a walking cane, a crutch, or a
pole in a fixed position. The device is removably attached to the walking
cane itself by a pair of elongated straps and provides positive clamping
means to hold the cane against a stationary structure. The device has a
handle that opens the clamp, which is inserted onto a planar structure to
firmly hold a walking cane in position. In one aspect of the technology,
the device is suitable for use with walking canes of various diameters.
The technology also provides a coating to aid in the retention of the
walking cane and to prevent slippage of the walking cane while the cane
is disposed through a cylindrical portion of the cane holder.
