Hi Honey,
I'm not sure exactly what it is you are looking
for, but if I understand it correctly, what about the "Shooting Sticks" used by
sportsmen. You can still buy them from gunsmiths etc., I had one until
recently that I purchased when I was into Archery.
I'm talking about the sort of walking stick with a
double handle arrangement that opens out with a leather sling forming a
seat. They don't actually form a self supporting seat unless spiked into
the ground but are a supportive seat that you rest on. Not good unless the
user is unstable. I guess you could fit a rubber ferrule (if that's how
it's spelt) for use on concrete/tarmac/floors.
If you do a Google search on "shooting stick
sports" you will find them.

Subject: leaning stool
Dear colleagues
Has anyone come across a stool that can
be used by an individual who is
unable to either stand or sit? The
person will need to lean on it to
rest, and if possible it needs to be
portable so it can be taken
wherever the person needs to go.
Any
suggestions most welcome!
best wishes
Honey Lucas
