Old people may have no place to sit when they wait for a bus at the station. It is not only at the bus stop, many occasions are lack of enough
rest facilities. The old people is fatigue easily and they always need to have a rest, so a temporary seat for old people is very important.
The crutch adopts the linkage of the unique structure. When an old man feel tired, he could turn the handle and the stick can be turned into a temporary chair for the old man to rest. With a simple action, it can complete the crutch to chair, which is very convenient. The handle is also ergonomic and comfortable for walking and switching.
