A shock absorbing handle for a white cane for blind people or visually impaired, incorporates resilient members within its handle, primarily in the form of a spring located in the handle region of the cane, in order to cushion the impact when the lower tip of the cane encounters an obstruction. A length of resilient cord, such as a bungee cord, extends from the top of the handle of the cane, to the lower tip of its bottom most segment, so that when the cord is stretched, the various segments can be separated from their connecting ferrules, and contracted into a smaller size for packaging. The various segments can be stretched, through their resilient cord, and secured together, to form the lengthy white cane, having cushioning impact provided within its handle, to relieve stress upon the user, when obstructions are encountered during usage of the cane during its application.

Collapsable safety cane with shock absorbing feature

A door hinge assembly includes a frame and a door with top and bottom hinge pivot assemblies. The top hinge pivot assembly includes a plate fixed to the frame and thereabove a parallel vertically movable plate. The upper plate includes a downwardly projecting hinge pin which projects through a clearance hole in the fixed plate. The fixed plate also includes an upwardly extending guide pin which extends through a clearance hole in the upper plate. A screw extends through the fixed plate and is threaded into the upper plate. When the screw is loosened the upper plate and thus the hinge pin may be pushed up, or permitted to drop into place. By tightening the screw the hinge pin is locked in its extended position and the screw head is flush with the bottom of the fixed plate. The bottom hinge pivot assembly includes an L-shape bracket with the vertical leg secured to the frame and the horizontal leg beneath the door. A threaded stud on the horizontal leg threadedly supports a nut-pin assembly with the upwardly projecting pin surrounded by a flat shoulder. A thrust washer on the shoulder supports the weight of the door and the door may be height adjusted by rotating the nut-pin assembly on the threaded stud and locking it in position.

Independently adjustable top and bottom hinge pin assemblies

A partition head assembly for a partition wall panel is characterized by a telescoping head in the top of the partition panel and a strut at at least one end of the head which is adjustably vertically secured to the partition panel at all vertical positions thereof by a strut retaining clip. Vertical adjustment of the head assembly may be obtained without disassembly thereof and with the panel assembled in a partition wall.
