Bond cleverly disguises itself as an umbrella to tackle a common resistance amongst the elderly who are stigmatised when using a walking stick. Its innovation went beyond promoting mobility; it also multi-tasks as a device to improve mental and emotional capacities.
“Bond” aspires to create bonding among the elderly with their friends and family. The elderly can play their favourite exercise tunes when they meet with their fellow buddies in the park. Nursery rhymes can also be download to promote interaction with their grandchildren. With its seamless integration of a multi-feature system encased in a tasteful design, the walking stick is reminiscent of James Bond and his spy gadgetry.
CarbonBond
Carbon Fiber
1. Extremely light and strong tubing reduces the weight through Carbon-Fibre, enabling better handling, especially for the elderly who are frail.
Umbrella
2. The walking stick is attached seamlessly to the umbrella. It can be detached and used separately while using the umbrella at the same time.
Pull out the umbrella from the tip, by pressing on the spring catch. Detach the walking stick from the umbrella. Insert stick into the tip.
Rain and Wind
3. The premium honeycomb structures fabric is UV protected and can repel rain effectively. The double spring canopy construction eases handling and ensures its integrity to counter strong wind.
Wrist Cord
4. Designed to ensure that the walking stick will not obstruct the user when breaking fall. Upon sudden excessive force applied to the wrist cord, it will automatically be detached and thus reducing the chance of having the walking stick obstructing the user.
Anti-slip
5. The Anti-Slip design provides excellent traction on contact to flat surfaces. The soft pivoting joint encourages natural walking motion and reduces stress on the elbow.
