An arm extending assembly for attachment to a walking appliance such as a walking cane, to enable the appliance to be retrieved without requiring the user to bend over. The device extends an extendible arm upwardly in a direction normal to the surface upon which the walking appliance has fallen. The arm is extended responsive to impact of the assembly on the surface, such as the ground. The arm extending assembly includes a base member for attachment to a cane, an actuating mechanism including a spring biased rotatable arm for imparting rotation to the extendible arm, a spring biased locking mechanism for releasably locking the actuating mechanism to the housing and ground engaging means operatively connected to the spring biased locking mechanism for release of the locking mechanism to permit rotation of the rotatable arm of the actuating mechanism and, thus, rotation of the extendible arm responsive to impact of said ground engaging means with the ground or surface.
