Abstract
A debris-retrieving cane comprising a longitudinal cane shaft member having an upper handle portion and effectively having a lower ground-surface-engageable portion, with said cane shaft member being provided adjacent to the bottom end thereof with a hollow debris-receiving receptacle means and effectively with debris-movement means for use in moving and manipulating a quantity of debris relative to the debris-receiving receptacle means into received relationship for removal of received and retrieved debris for subsequent emptying elsewhere. The entire device closely simulates and is capable of use as an effective cane concurrently with and independent of its use as a debris retriever and is also capable of use as an auxiliary weapon in the event that the person carrying the device is assaulted, attacked, or threatened.
