The document proposes two designs for an item picker to help elderly people easily pick up items from the ground. The first design is an add-on to a walking stick that uses a plate attached by high tension rubber that is pushed over items to lift them. The second design uses a knob that spins gears to lift a plate with items on it. Both are aimed at giving older adults a way to independently pick up dropped items without difficulty or strain.
