Holds the white cane.
Variants | How it works | References | Ordering | Prices | Dimensions | Colors | Inspiration | Instructions
Imagine you need both hands free, but one hand is busy holding the long cane or tucking it under your arm. Anyone who needs a white cane for safety and wants to put it aside temporarily at every exhibit in a museum, or in a voting booth to write, or at a training machine in a gym, usually searches in vain for a solution. A holder, a mounting option for the long cane!
The English word “Cane” is used for the long cane for blind people. The “Sitter” is a friendly watcher. That’s how the name “Canesitter” was created.
For the white cane Canesitter “S” and also for the walking stick:
the Canesitter “+G”
New variant: for recessed installation into the tabletop
The Canesitter S fits all common long canes (aka white canes) up to approx. ø 13.5 mm. The Canesitter “+G” fits both long canes and all common walking sticks (aka hand cane, mobility aid, or walking support).
The Canesitter +G is available in the same colors as the Canesitter S: black, white, gray, blue, red, brown, and yellow. With clips in black, white, or gray. For orders of 15 units or more, additional colors for housings or clips can also be supplied.
Option: under-table adapter
The Canesitter can also be mounted underneath the tabletop or console. Even on slanted surfaces (20°). The under-table adapter can be attached from below with two screws or with монтажный клей, and then the Canesitter is screwed into the adapter.
This is how clamping and removing the long cane works.
The cane holder is ultra-compact, beautifully designed, durable, affordable, and available in various color combinations.

Combinations and inspiration

As the examples above suggest, there are many other situations where you might want to put the white cane aside quickly:
In a restaurant, at the coat check, at home, in the office, in a fitting room, at an information desk, at any supermarket checkout (to pay and pack), in the restroom, at a consultation table, at the doctor’s, at a desk in the office and at school, at a service point, at an ATM, at a jeweler, at a theater seat, at a bank counter, on a bus, on a train, on a tram, at a gym machine, at a counter, in a swimming pool, and so on. For all hospitality businesses and hotels, as well as shipping lines and especially the popular cruise ships, Canesitters in cabins and common areas are very useful and therefore recommended.
Canesitter — for more accessibility in your venue
Inclusion and accessibility are crucial topics for public institutions, museums, theaters, cafés, and companies that want to offer people with disabilities easy and equal access. With the Canesitter, you provide blind and visually impaired visitors as well as people who rely on walking aids with an innovative way to store their mobility aids safely and enjoy more independence.
The Canesitter is a specially developed aid, ideal for use in public buildings, cultural institutions, educational institutions, or event venues. Thanks to its flexible mounting, it can be easily installed on tables, chairs, counters, or walls, creating a more accessible experience for your guests.
Why the Canesitter is indispensable in your venue:
Promoting accessibility: The Canesitter shows that your institution actively addresses the needs of people with disabilities.
Hands free for greater comfort: Whether at events, in a museum, or in a café, the Canesitter provides an easy place to put long canes and walking aids so visitors can focus on their interests with both hands.
Versatile use cases: Suitable for restaurants, hotels, libraries, or medical practices, where mobility aids often have to be placed on the floor inconveniently.
Ergonomic and adaptable design: The Canesitter blends into your interior design without being intrusive — available in different colors and versions.
Order the Canesitter now and position yourself for accessibility and inclusion.

How to assemble and install a Canesitter:
Feature: The Canesitter has a protective film over the mounting adhesive tape that must be removed.
Get a Torx10 screwdriver ready. If you need to drill, prepare a drill bit and drill and, if necessary, a wall plug/anchor. A spirit level or eyeballing it can be helpful.
- Drill a hole for the center screw if needed.
- Insert the clip into the housing.
- The 3 mm screw is then screwed through the center of the clip and the Canesitter back wall into the table or material. Use a Torx10 screwdriver. Please stop immediately if the clip starts to tighten. It should NOT do that! Otherwise it will become too tight for the cane.
- Press firmly again so the adhesive bonds well — done!
Get a Torx10 screwdriver and a small hammer ready. If you need to drill, prepare a drill bit and drill and, if necessary, a wall plug/anchor. A spirit level or eyeballing it can be helpful.
- Mark the position of the Canesitter’s central screw at the installation location.
- Mark the nail impact point 14 mm (Canesitter S) or 24 mm (Canesitter +G) to the right or left of the center screw.
- Drill a hole for the center screw if needed.
- Tap the nail pin into your mark until only 1 mm protrudes. The nail head only serves to prevent the Canesitter from rotating.
- Insert the clip into the housing.
- The 3 mm screw is then screwed through the center of the clip and the Canesitter back wall into the table or material. Use a Torx10 screwdriver. Please stop immediately if the clip starts to tighten. It should NOT do that! Otherwise it will become too tight for the cane.
Get a small Phillips screwdriver ready. If you need to drill into the tabletop, also prepare a drill bit and drill. A thin marking pen, ruler, and eyeballing it can be helpful.
- Place the adapter flush at the front table edge and mark the two adapter screws at the mounting location (i.e., under the tabletop).
- Pre-drill the two holes if needed, or use an awl.
- Place the clip into the Canesitter housing with the clip foot first. There’s a video above.
- Now connect the Canesitter to the adapter: Place the adapter with the nut housing facing up on the table. Place the Canesitter against it with the logo facing down. The raised parts on the adapter fit into the recesses on the Canesitter housing back wall.
- Then insert the nut into the adapter slot (if not already pre-installed).
- Now thread the screw (through the hole in the clip and the hole in the Canesitter housing) into the nut behind it. Tighten with a Phillips screwdriver.
- Please stop tightening immediately if the clip starts to tighten. It should NOT do that! Otherwise it will become too tight for the cane.
- Now screw the Canesitter-adapter combination to the tabletop (screws ø max 3 mm).
- For recessed installation, a matching recess must be milled into the furniture board according to the Canesitter dimensions.
- The Canesitter has rounded corners on the back side.
- The milling dimensions can be found on the leaflet included with shipping.
- On the sides, a small raised ridge can be left during milling to secure the Canesitter against forces from above, i.e., to prevent slipping.
- There are also recesses on the back of the Canesitter that allow a tilt-turn snap-in to provide even more stability. Using them is optional.
- Side mounting in combination with монтажный клей (on the back and on the raised ridges) is optimal. Please apply the adhesive to the furniture, not to the Canesitter housing (otherwise the adhesive could be pushed upward uncontrollably).
- The Canesitter can be fully recessed or protrude at the front by up to 1 cm to make tactile finding easier.
- If you want to add a center screw at the back in the middle for extra stability, you can separate the clip-housing connection (hex key) and replace it with the supplied M3 screw (Torx). To do this, drill a hole for the center screw into the back of the recess in the table.
- Insert the clip into the housing.
- The 3 mm screw is then screwed through the center of the clip and the Canesitter back wall into the table or material. Use a Torx10 screwdriver. Please stop immediately if the clip starts to tighten. It should NOT do that! Otherwise it will become too tight for the cane.
