[nabs-l] Telescoping Cane

[Jen]

I have a telescoping cane. I'm not a heavy tapper, but I'm a "constant
conact" person on walls and landmarks, and my cane works for me.

What about if you are a constant contact type of person and not a tapper?
Will this type of cane still work for someone like that?

A telescoping cane is a kind of folding, or collapsible cane.  As you move
down the cane, each section is smaller than the one above it, so it
collapses, or telescopes into itself, becoming one section long.  You pull
the cane out firmly and give a little twist, it tends to hold the sections
out in their extended mode.  The major problem with this cane is that one or
more sections can collapse as you use it.  If you aren't a heavy tapper, you
may like its convenience.

It is like the old radio antennas on portable radios.  You pushed down on
the top piece and it went inside the one below and so on until it was
collapsed.
