White cane umbrella (self.Blind)
submitted by AutisticPearl
Is it possible to have a white cane umbrella? And by that I mean either an umbrella that doubles as a white cane, or an umbrella attachment for a white cane I'm asking because I could have sworn I saw one years ago but maybe I just imagined things, if it's not possible please explain why if it is possible and it does actually exist someone please tell me where to find one

I am not sure if it is possible because you need to sweep your cane in order to properly use it. Water would get all over you and not keep you from it. Unless you use an ID cane. I’ve seen umbrella that are mobility canes, but not white canes.

In hindsight, I think I might have been looking at a Mobility cane in the sticker for a white cane, but I really wish they had something similar because in my personal opinion if someone could think of some way to actually make that work properly that would be amazing.

I agree! Maybe if it worked like the hand held tripods that stabilize the camera and keep it up no matter how the tripod is held!

Yes, something like that I could have sworn I saw one but thinking back on it I might have actually seen one of those Mobility cane that doubles as an umbrella because when I was looking at it I didn't have a white cane of my own or that I know people that use them other than maybe one or two people and even then only really one of them actually used the rest of them didn't mess with them, so I didn't really expect it said be a thing but someone should make that because it would make lots of money and actually what I would do if I was going to make one it had the umbrella be at the handle part and have a soul that you're able to wrap the little cord around the base and use the little plastic in cap which I don't know what it's called to lock it into place so basically there's some little legs on it and it will click on to the actual handle but you can still use your painted usual because it's designed to not impede your I'm not sure if it's even possible somebody who isn't blind or just not use one come up with it I can't because I use one technically and I wouldn't know how to send me your that up.

I think it doesn't exist but that's a nice concept.
