A cane holder for holding upright a walking cane at the side of a bed has a generally planar frame to be inserted between a mattress and a box spring of a bed. A clamp on a side of the frame protrudes to one side of the bed. A walking cane held in the clamp provides a convenient hold for a person rising from the bed. The cane can then be released from the clamp for use as a walking aid away from the bed. A preferred walking cane has a foldable mid-height hand grip in addition to a top handle to provide two holds at different heights on the cane.

[ What is claimed as new is:] [1.]1. A walking cane and cane holder for holding upright the walking cane at the side of a bed, comprising: a generally planar frame sized and configured to be inserted between a mattress and a box spring of the bed and to resist displacement from a generally horizontal plane defined between the mattress and the box spring, a clamp assembly secured to said frame so as to protrude to one side of the said mattress and box spring, said clamp assembly having first and second clamp elements hinged for movement between an open position for admitting said cane between said clamp elements and a closed position for holding said cane in transverse relationship to said frame, and a locking element on said cane, said locking element being displaceable for securing said clamp elements in said closed position with said cane held therebetween, such that the weight of a person bearing on the mattress over the frame operates to secure the cane for grasping as a support by the person while rising from the bed, and the cane can then be released from said clamp assembly by displacing said locking element for use as a walking aid away from the bed, said locking element remaining on said cane away from said clamp assembly.
