The object of this invention is to provide a device which can be used as a 'weapon of detense, as a wallri cane, or can be attached io the barrel of :i y stol, giving more force to the projectile, and a greater degree oi aecu racy is obtained. Furthermore, i nini to produce a device whereby a person can travel over smooth or icy surfaces with safety.

YWith the above and. other objects in view my inventioii linally consists in the novel eonstruction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter niore specifically de scribed in the specilication and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail referonce is had to ihe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and

wherein like ligures of re ference indicate sixni'- lar parts throughout the several views, in which* .Figure 1 is a longitudinalv section-.tl view of any invention, showing the parts assembled as a cano, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal view of the saure, showingthc device applied to a pistol. liig. f3 a view oi the cane-handle and cleaning-rod.
