Magnetic fixation of walking aids

Magnetic attachment of walking aids guarantees quick and safe storage.
The walking aids stay securely in place and won't fall over.

 Quick, safe, and easily accessible storage

I use magnets to solve tasks faster and more effectively where other methods fail.

Some time ago, I gave up my self-employment as an engineer. My wife needed care. She uses two walking aids to get around.
Walking aid is the general term for all aids used to relieve pressure on joints and increase mobility.

The manufacturers of walking aids have not considered the safe and quick storage of walking aids.
At senior community meetings, I have often witnessed walking aids simply falling over after being set down.
This situation is embarrassing and frightening.

My wife's walking sticks also fell over at home.
My solution to this problem:

Magnetic fixation of walking aids

Two walking sticks are held together at the top with two magnets. Spreading the rubber feet apart gives the poles a secure footing. A 2.5mm hole was drilled into the stiffening rib on the back of the forearm support, an M3 thread was cut, and a holder for the block magnet 10.0 x 10.0 x 5.0 mm N42 nickel - holds 3 kg was attached with two screws. The holder was made from a 10 mm wide, 50 mm long, and 0.1 mm thick tinplate strip (2 holes for the screws and bent into a U-shape). After inserting the magnets, the holder was wrapped with Tesa tape for security.

Even individual sticks can be easily and conveniently placed on any magnetic object using this magnetic lock. We use a key to attach them.
No magnetic object nearby? No problem; simply covertly attach a small metal strip to the appropriate location with Tesa tape.
