Ferrules,
collars etc.
When ordering
ferrules FOR THE BOTTOMS OF STICKS it should be
remembered that rubber ferrules will stretch and
that metal ferrules should have the end of the
stick tapered slightly, so always choose a ferrule
slightly smaller than the diameter of your
stick. All diameters given are for the internal
sizes of the open ends of the ferrules and are
APPROXIMATE so please don't rely on any one
particular size fitting exactly on to a stick you
already have! For more information on the types and
uses of different ferrules click HERE

the stick wearing through quickly.

max.

Orthopaedic
Ferrules (Also
called crutch pads).
Hard wearing and good grip
on most surfaces - broad base gives extra
steadiness if you are a bit "wobbly" on your
feet!

sticks

Heavy Duty Black Rubber
Ferrules
£1.95 each

|
Tripod
Ferrules
Large, flat base that gives
extra stability for anyone with poor balance. The
ferrule is so stable that the stick will stand
upright on its own so can be left without the need
for hanging it or leaning it against a chair, table
etc. The socket is quite flexible and will
accommodate most sticks from 3/4" (19mm) to 7/8"
(22mm).
£4.80 each (only 1
in stock)

MIXED
SIZE PACKS
We don't
guarantee any particular sizes or number of
each in the packs (that's why they're mixed) but
generally sizes 9 to 15. If you want to specify
sizes you will need to order individual
ferrules.

PLAIN
BRASS FERRULES.
These are
nicer looking than rubber but not as hard wearing.
You can push a rubber ferrule over the brass one if
required. These have an antique-effect brown
coating but can easily be polished to bright brass
using steel wool and/or metal polish.
Taper the end of
the stick to get a tight fit and secure with epoxy
or pins (see lower down) or use the traditional way
of crimping the rim two or three times with a sharp
nail and hammer.
Diameter across
open ends measured in sixteenths-of-an-inch, so No
8 = half inch,
No 12 = three quarter inch,
No 16 = one inch etc.
The length of
each ferrule is the same (approx 25mm, one inch)
regardless of diameter.
PRICE
£1.00 each: Discounts apply for 10
or more

NOTE: The folding Ice
Ferrule does NOT come with a rubber or other
ferrule so if you don't already have one please
order one for your own stick from the selection of
ferrules above.

Ice
Ferrule
Clamps on to "standard"
sizes of sticks (20 to 30 mm thick) by fitting two
screws (long and short ones supplied in each pack)
through the metal parts. The stick is not damaged
and the Ice Ferrule can be removed and stored
during the summer.
When not in use the ice
grips fold out of the way and the normal rubber or
metal ferrule (not supplied) is used. When required
the ice grips simply click into place below the
normal ferrule. Brilliant!

COLLARS
|
|
|
Engraving up to 30
characters costs only £15 (not including
price of collar). The more characters you have, the
smaller they need to be engraved to fit on the
collar.
|
ENGRAVED
COLLARS
If you would like any of
the metal collars (below) engraved then enter your
lettering in the box and click on "Engrave".
MAKE
SURE YOU ALSO ORDER A COLLAR FOR US TO
ENGRAVE!!!
If ordering more than one
collar but not all engraved, make sure you order
the engraving here first then order the collar you
want engraving - order any other collars AFTER the
engraved one so we can tell from the order form
which one is to be engraved. You might also like to
put a note on the order form to make sure there is
no confusion.
NB Engraving is done by
hand-held tool and not by machine.

amount.

Solid
silver disc, 25 mm (1 inch) in diameter and 0.7
mm thick, engraved with up to 18 characters
(including spaces)
Useful if you have
already made (or bought) a stick and fitting a
collar is not an option.
The
disc is drilled to take two silvered pins
(included) that you can use to attach the disc to
any stick - you may wish to put a dab of epoxy on
the back to make it even more secure.
|
Solid
silver disc
Price only
£21.00 for the disc AND the engraving and
the pins.
Please allow at least 2
weeks for delivery.
The discs are obtained from
a local engraver (who does the engraving) so it can
take anything up to a week or more (after you place
the order) before I get it back. I then have to
press the disc into a shallow curved profile and
drill two pin-holes for easier fitting on your own
stick.
The engraver
normally chooses suitable lettering depending on
the size and context.

Cane
Holder
Folding gadget which clips
onto most canes (up to around 1" thick (25mm) and
enables the user to hang the stick on the edge of a
table or shop counter, freeing both hands but
without losing sight of the stick.
The holder is spring loaded
so it hangs downward when not in use and a useful
reflective strip helps the user to be seen at
night. The underside is covered in a soft foam
material to prevent damage to the table
top.
