SLT walking stick
The signal is a "click"
A gentle walking stick that can be folded safely
Since we walk together, we want something that gives us peace of mind
Patented SLT (Spring Lock Technology) folding walking stick
"I don't want people to feel even the slightest anxiety or inconvenience when using a walking stick that they use every day."
This folding walking stick was created with that idea in mind.
This is an excellent product that eliminates the problems associated with conventional folding walking sticks and provides a comfortable and safe use.
What is the patented SLT mechanism?
SLT stands for Spring Lock Technology .
Spring
Lock=Fixed
Technology
In other words, it is a technology that connects the shaft of the walking stick with the force of a spring and securely fixes it in place with an internal stopper .

What makes the SLT folding walking stick different?
"It takes a lot of strength to fold it," "I don't know how far to pull it," and "The walking stick gets scratched when I fold it."
The SLT mechanism neatly solves these problems that arise with conventional folding walking sticks .
The SLT mechanism is designed so that when you pull the shaft to fold it, a stopper locks the force of the internal spring as it tries to return to its original position.
This stopper is designed with a gently curved L -shape, allowing it to be pulled smoothly without resistance and locking with a natural movement.
With just a light pull, the shafts separate smoothly, and an audible "click" indicates that the lock is complete.
It is held securely in a foldable state, so you can safely fold it up slowly and store it in a bag.
To return it, simply connect the shaft. The stopper is automatically released and the internal spring operates smoothly. You will feel a "click" in your hand , allowing you to safely return it to the cane state. The joint connecting the shafts is highly rigid, so there is no need to worry about it bending during use.
What is the greatest feature of the SLT mechanism?
The internal stopper and spring let you know when the lock is engaged or disengaged by sound and feel . You can fold it safely without exerting any force .
This is the greatest feature of the SLT mechanism.
The story behind the development of the SLT folding walking stick
In the 1990s, most folding walking sticks were rubber-type .
However, this method presented several challenges.
When folding, "I don't know how far I should pull"
"If you pull too hard, it will rebound and hurt your hands or the cane."
It required careful handling every time it was used, and it was far from easy to use. Seeing this situation, the developers made up their mind.
"Let's create a walking stick that is stylish, easy to use, and long-lasting, unlike anything that has ever been seen before!" That was in the spring of 2000.
The developer began his research alone.
We carved steel plates, assembled springs, and built up hundreds of prototypes, but it wasn't easy to find the ideal shape.
It won't lock unless you pull it hard, and if you pull it lightly it comes off right away.
Days of trial and error continued as they tried to balance these conflicting requirements . The family heard many times the joy of "This is it!" and the disappointment of "No good."
After about a year and a half of this trial and error, one night...
Exhausted, the developer dozed off in front of the prototype, when he had a dream. His hands, which had been trying to make a lock out of straight metal, were now assembling gently curved L-shaped parts. Waking up, the developer quickly recreated the shape. When he tried it, it locked surprisingly smoothly, with no bounce whatsoever. Thus was born the SLT mechanism (Spring Lock Technology), which solved this long-standing problem.
As we enter an era where people can live to 100 years old, the number of people using walking sticks is increasing every year. Nowadays, when developers walk around town, they often come across stylish SLT walking sticks decorated with floral patterns.
Every time this happens, the developers think, "I hope this cane brightens someone's day, even if just a little..." It is moments like this that bring them great joy.
Carefully crafted design
KINDCARE 's walking sticks, including the SLT walking stick, are imbued with a delicate aesthetic that enhances the elegance of the person carrying it.
In particular, for the Liberty Print series, in order to imbue the walking sticks with a depth of color that cannot be expressed through printing, artisans carefully wrap each walking stick in fabric and then gently coat it with a specially developed transparent resin, just like wrapping a bouquet of flowers .
This unique technique ensures that the texture, warmth, and vibrant colors of the fabric remain beautiful and timeless, without fading. This piece will accompany you for a long time as part of your outfit, blending naturally with everything from everyday outfits to formal occasions.
