ferrule

Cane tip ring

A ferrule is a metal ring or cap fitted around the end of a stick, handle, or tube to strengthen it or prevent splitting.

Canes, umbrellas, and tool handles often have ferrules where they meet the ground or connect to other parts.

The term also applies to the metal band that holds brush bristles to the handle or crimps a pencil's eraser in place.
