DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] The Stickle Seat is a new method of taking a walking stick or trekking pole and attaching a foldable seat to it. Many people use the sticks or poles for hiking and such and having a foldable lightweight seat is something very fast and easy to use. The foldable seat uses a round seat of metal, plastic or even wood if desired. It is designed so that a frame is screwed into the stick or pole and may be welded in place for metal. The seat frame itself is designed to fold upward to fold flat against the stick or pole and can be folded into an open position so that a person can sit on the seat facing the stick or pole or sitting with their back against the seat. It can also be removed by pulling out the cotter pin and carrying it on a back pack and such.
