An audio/visual warning device for attaching to a cane. The cane has upper and lower ends and extended and collapsed positions and includes a plurality of tubular members affixed, end-to-end, when in the extended position and folded, side-by-side, when in the collapsed position, and an elastic cord extends axially in the cane and is affixed to the upper and lower ends of the cane, respectively, so as to allow the plurality of tubular members to be maintained, end-to-end, in the extended position, yet be separated axially and be maintained, side-by-side, in the collapsed position. The audio/visual warning device includes a plate, a manual bell, a light, and apparatus for attaching the plate to the upper end of the cane. The manual bell and the light are affixed to the plate so as to form an integral unit therewith, and the plate is affixed to the upper end of the cane by the apparatus. In one embodiment of the apparatus, the upper end of the cane has a through bore and a threaded rod extends rearwardly from the plate and through the through bore where it threadably engages a nut. In another embodiment of the apparatus, a collar extends rearwardly from the plate and captures the upper end of the cane.
