Abstract

The present invention relates to a pole, such as a ski, cross-country, hiking or trekking pole with a lighting device. In particular, it relates to a stick plate (1) for a ski pole, cross-country pole, trekking pole, Nordic walking pole or walking stick, comprising a light source (9).

Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a stick, such as a ski, cross-country, hiking or trekking pole with a lighting device.

State of the art

In skiing various measures are taken to avoid collisions between skiers, as they can lead to significant injuries. Such collisions usually occur due to lack of visibility, such as in the twilight, in the fog, or in the dark. Similarly, it is a concern of Nordic Walkers to make themselves more visible by means of light signals in traffic or to protect themselves. It is known to improve the visualization of objects such as sports equipment or clothing by means of safety signals such as neon light, flashing light, reflectors, etc.

Sticks with lighting devices are already known in the prior art. These are always optical warning signals or light sources on the pole grip or on the pole. The known lighting devices are usually used to make the environment more visible to the user of the stick in the dark, or to the fact that the user can draw attention in the dark, so to speak as a safety device or even distress signal. For example, US 4 023 817 describes the use of a material in the pole grip which is light diffusive. Also, US 206 445 describes an arrangement of a lighting device in the handle, as well as JP 02 299 676A2. The pole described in US Pat. No. 4,066,889 has a window element, through which the light source in the pole tube is visible to the outside. US 5 056 821 describes a pole with a chemiluminescent element which emits light through a recess in the pole tube. According to US Pat. No. 5,056,821, the pole tube can have light-dispersive properties or can be equipped with a light-dispersive element in order to enable illumination of the pole. In US 5 271 640 is spoken by a translucent pole with a light source therein. The use of a light emitting diode is described in JP 11 318 525A2, suggesting the use of polymethyl methacrylate for embedding these LED elements. US 6 152 491 discloses a pole with six light sources on the pole, a microprocessor, a battery source and a switch.

Presentation of the invention

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a stick, especially a ski pole, which on the one hand allows the user to be better seen in the dark or at dusk and on the other hand, the environment, or the in front of the user lying distance or the surrounding terrain to illuminate. In addition, the disadvantages of the known from the prior art sticks to be overcome with lighting.

By displacing the light source to the lower end of the pole tube, the light beam is moved closer to the substrate, i. e.g. to the snow, introduced and illuminated thus more determined the way than in an arrangement at the top of the pole or on the handle. In addition, the lower floor tube section has the largest range of motion during Nordic walking. If this area has a light source, it enhances the safety effect.

The solution to this problem is achieved, inter alia, that a stick plate for a ski pole, cross-country ski pole, trekking pole, Nordic walking pole or walking stick is provided, which has an active light source. The stock plate can be asymmetrical or symmetrical and have a round or rounded or angular plan. The stock plate can also be formed as a hollow body, in which the light source at least partially, preferably completely, is added. The stick plate can have a through opening into which the actual pole can be inserted and secured in this, but it is also possible that the stick plate is formed as a unit with a stick tip, and to the top has a blind hole, in which the stick tube can be inserted and fixed in this. Typically, the stick plate has a plate-like area, which allows the penetration of the tip in a soft ground, to prevent over the support of this area further penetration of the stick.

Preferably, an energy source and / or a control element is additionally arranged on and / or in the stock plate together with the light source. But it is also possible that the light source with a spaced from the light source, not arranged in the stock plate energy source and / or a spaced control element is coupled. In such a case, the energy source and / or the control element may be arranged, for example, in / on the pole. Preferably, then the power source and / or the control element is located in the vicinity of the stick plate, i. in the lower region of the pole, or at and / or in the lower end of the pole. The control element may even be arranged in the handle, so that no bending over of the user for adjusting the operating state of the lighting device is necessary.

Preferably, the light source is a light emitting diode. Other light sources are also possible. The light emitting diode is an electronic semiconductor device. If current flows through the diode in the forward direction, it emits light, infrared radiation or even ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength dependent on the semiconductor material. As a light source in the present context, but in particular a light source is to be understood, which emits in the visible range.

The light source can be fastened, preferably together with a control element, as an SMD component on the stock plate.

The energy source is preferably an electronic element, which is preferably battery operated. In this case, rechargeable or disposable energy storage can be used. Coin cells, for example, are particularly suitable because of their small size.

According to a preferred embodiment, the light source is arranged on a preferably flexible foil plate, with the result that the emitted light is radiated in accordance with a curvature of the stick plate in different directions from the plate surface, respectively, is derived from the curvature.

If the lighting device arranged on the floor plate also has an energy source and / or a control element, the energy source and / or the control element is preferably arranged on a lower side and / or on an upper side of the floor plate.

The stick plate may be formed according to a further preferred embodiment, at least partially made of an at least partially translucent, translucent or transparent plastic. The light source is preferably arranged so that at least part of the light emitted by the light source can be coupled into the plastic. So then the entire plastic area of the plate appears as a lit form. It is also possible an embodiment in which downward and / or forward i.W. White light is radiated (→ illumination of the path) and up and / or behind a colored (for example red) light (→ safety aspect).

Further, it may be advantageous if the stick plate has at least partially a material and / or a coating and / or a surface which has refractive and / or light-scattering properties. The stick plate may additionally or alternatively in some areas have a roughened or ribbed or structured surface. Thus, for example, in the case of a transparent or translucent material that is to some extent illuminated by light, lighter and darker areas can be produced by structuring the surface.

Fibers, in particular plastic fibers or glass fibers, are preferably arranged in the stalk dish, which can distribute or direct the light emitted from the light source over the stock plate and / or beyond the stock plate. These fibers are preferably flexible.

The stick plate has at least one recess, preferably a through opening, through which light from the light source can be emitted upwards and / or downwards, or in which a housing for receiving at least the light source can be embedded. It is particularly preferred that the light source emit light both upward, i. towards the handle, as well as down, i. to the pad or pole tip, can radiate. In particular, when the light source is intended to contribute to safety, for example in road traffic, light is also preferably radiated in the horizontal direction.

The control element may be formed as a foil switch. Furthermore, the control element can be used as a switch, e.g. as a two-way switch with an on position and an off position, or as a three way switch, e.g. be designed as a pressure switch or knob switch. This switch preferably allows to change the operating state of the lighting device. In this case, e.g. the light source is switched on stationary, switched off, or switched to an intermittent signal function or flashing light. Also possible are pushbuttons or capacitive switches, which influence the operating state via switching pulses. For example, the control element can be actuated by a soft housing part is arranged as a pressure area above the control element.

The light source and / or the power source and / or the control element, preferably all three elements may be arranged in a sealed housing, which is preferably releasably secured in and / or on the stock plate. The attachment can be done for example by pinching, snapping, gluing or screwing.

According to a next preferred embodiment, the housing is formed waterproof. In this case, the housing may e.g. be at least partially embedded in a recess, preferably in a through hole, of the floor plate. Preferably, the housing protrudes at least upwards or downwards or in the region of the plate plane beyond the stock plate.

It may be particularly preferred, depending on the field of application, if at least one light source has light of different wavelengths, i. different colors, can radiate. Alternatively, a plurality of light sources may be arranged on and / or in the stock plate, wherein preferably each light source emits a light of different wavelengths differently colored from the other light sources.

The stick plate preferably has both at least one partially translucent area through which light can pass through or be guided freely, as well as at least one opaque area. It is possible that the transparent area is formed either of an at least partially transparent material through which the light from the light source can be conducted to the environment. Alternatively or additionally, the stick plate may also have recesses or channels or windows (made of transparent material) through which the light emitted by the light source can pass unhindered through the stick plate. This is particularly advantageous if such recesses or channels or windows are arranged in a region of the stock plate, which consists of an opaque material. If the stick plate is at least partially made of an at least partially translucent material, or material into which the light can couple, the light may shine through these areas of the stick plate, causing these areas to glow. On the other hand, by way of example, a light-emitting diode can emit a strong, directed light beam through a recess or a channel or a window in the floor dish, which can serve the orientation of the floor user in the dark.

Preferably, a plurality of at least partially transparent areas and / or a plurality of spaced-apart light sources are arranged on and / or in the stock plate and thereby preferably discretely positioned. These areas and / or these light sources are preferably discretely positioned or arranged at regular intervals or in a specific pattern on the stock plate and, in particular preferably over the entire circumference of the stock plate, at least in the edge region distributed. If several light sources are present, it is possible that only one controller and / or only one energy source is used for all light sources.

Another object of the present invention is a stick, especially a cross-country ski pole, trekking pole, Nordic walking pole or walking stick, comprising a pole tube and preferably arranged at the upper end of the pole tube handle and arranged at the bottom of the pole stick tip, wherein at the bottom of the pole above the pole tip a stick plate is arranged with a light source. This stick plate is preferably designed according to one of the previously mentioned embodiments.

Further preferred embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

Ways to carry out the invention

In Fig. 1, a first preferred embodiment of a stick plate 1 with a lighting device 5 is shown. It is an asymmetric stick plate 1, which is on a sleeve 3, which has an opening 8 for receiving a pole tube 2 in its upper portion 3 a, on a pole tube 2 is detachably or firmly fastened. The stick plate 1 can be arranged for example on a ski pole, a cross-country pole, trekking pole, Nordic walking pole or a walking stick.

The asymmetric, from the cuff 3 i.W. vertical or inclined to the longitudinal axis L of the floor area expansive stock plate 1 has a lighting device 5. In this case, the stick plate 1 has a passage opening 16 through which at least an upper part 6a of a housing 6, here e.g. formed as a translucent housing extension, protrudes. According to the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the collar 3 is connected to the surface of the plate via a comb 11, which is aligned substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the cylinder or the longitudinal axis of the sleeve. The stick plate 1 has a substantially ellipsoidal basic shape. Instead of an asymmetrical plate, the plate could also be symmetrical, e.g. with a circular floor plan, be formed.

In Fig. 1b it can be seen that the plate surface 7 may be bent, wherein the plate surface 7 fixed in a lower portion 3b of the sleeve 3 to the sleeve 3, e.g. glued, clamped or integrally formed with the sleeve 3. The stick plate 1 is preferably down, i. towards the preferably metal stick tip 4 concave, and upwards, i. toward the handle (not shown) convex.

The lighting device 5 shown in Fig. 1 is inserted from below into the stock plate 1. It is a transparent or translucent housing 6, in which a light source 9, a power source 14 and a control element 15 are arranged. The energy source 14 is a battery-powered electronic element 14, which supplies the light source 9 with voltage. An upper part 6a of the housing 6 protrudes through the passage opening 16 of the stock plate 1. Thus, light from the light source 9, which is normally arranged below the plate plane T in the housing 6, can also be emitted above the plate plane T. Overall light can be radiated from the illumination device 5 shown both downwards and sideways and upwards, provided both the housing part 6a projecting upwards beyond the plate surface 7 and the housing part 6b arranged below the stick plate 1 with an at least partially translucent or translucent material are formed. This can be either transparent, for example, or be a material into which light coming from the light source can couple in, the light being distributed over the preferably entire area of the housing 6. The light source 9 arranged in the housing 6 is preferably a light-emitting diode (LED), but may for example also be another thermal or non-thermal light source. If the upper housing part 6a of the illumination device 5 is spherical and substantially translucent, then light can be radiated in a radius of 360 degrees if the source is arranged accordingly. Depending on the selection of the transparent areas of the housing 6, if the housing 6 also has light-impermeable areas, targeted light emission, i. only in certain directions, can be achieved. The actuation of the lighting device 5 via a control element 15 or simply a switch, which is actuated via an at least one side soft housing cover or a soft housing portion. Capacitive switches are also conceivable, which allow a rigid housing. According to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, it is possible that the upper housing part 6a is pressed by finger pressure on the underlying control element 15, whereby the operating state can be changed. Preferably, the housing is downwardly, i. towards the pad, which is the main source of dirt, waterproof or at least dirt-proof.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, it is also a recessed in an asymmetrical stock plate 1 housing 6 for receiving a light source 9, usually at the same time also for receiving an energy source or an electronic element 14 and a control element 15. In general it is possible for means for reflection and / or focusing and / or scattering of the light emitted by the light source to be arranged in or on the housing or else on the pole plate. In this case, the housing 6 shown in FIG. 2 has a substantially circular ground plan, wherein the housing walls are curved spherically from the plate plane T upwards and downwards. The housing 6 is embedded in a through hole 16 in the stock plate 1 and protrudes upwards and downwards from the plate plane T and the plate surface 7 protrudes or spreads in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the pole tube 2 and the sleeve 3, in whose upper area a pole tube 2 can be inserted, off. If only one light source 9 is present, the light source 9 can be arranged essentially centrally in the housing 6 or in relation to its ground plan. The material of the housing 6 is formed at least partially translucent at least partially. But it is also possible, on the housing 6 only isolated translucent areas, e.g. Window of translucent material, or plastic, in which can couple the light to arrange, so that the outgoing light from the light source 9 is emitted in a certain pattern or only in certain directions, so that the housing 6 lights in a particular pattern. Also, the stick plate 1 itself may be at least partially made of an at least partially translucent material, such as transparent plastic, configured or contain flexible plastic and / or glass fibers that can distribute the light, so that entire plate areas are made to glow. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, however, it is sufficient if only the housing 6 is designed to be translucent or translucent.

The housing may be formed in one piece, so that when replacing the light source and / or the power source 14 or a battery-powered electronic element whose battery and / or when replacing the control element 15, the housing 6 or the entire lighting device 5 must be replaced. For this purpose, the housing 6 is preferably detachably fastened to the stock plate, e.g. by latching, gluing, screwing, etc. Alternatively, it is possible for the housing to be in two parts, e.g. with an upper housing part 6a, which projects upwards beyond the plate surface 7, and a lower housing part 6b, which protrudes downward beyond the plate surface 7, is formed. The two housing parts 6a, 6b may, for example, be engaged or screwed together. In such a two-piece housing 6, either the upper part 6a or the lower part 6b may be removed so as to maintain and / or replace the light source 9 and / or the electronic element 14 and / or the control element 15 arranged therein. Alternatively, it is also possible that either the upper housing part 6a or the lower housing part 6b are fixedly attached to the stock plate 1 and the other housing part 6b or 6a is releasably secured thereto. As already mentioned, it is possible that the housing 6, when it has received a control element 15 in itself, has a soft region which can be pressed or deformed to actuate a switch.

According to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3 b, only a lower housing part 6 b of the lighting device 5 protrudes below the plate surface 7 of the floor pan 1. According to the illustration in FIG. 3b, the lighting device 5 is completely installed in the stick plate 1 and is at least partially coated by the material of the stick plate 1 or a coating. In this case, the plate surface 7 on its upper side a plurality of recesses or channels or windows, through which the light emitted from the light source 9 in the housing 6 light can pass unhindered, or at least partially translucent or translucent areas 10a-10f in the material, through the that can shine through from the light emitted inside the case. These at least partially transparent areas 10a-f are arranged at least partially in a central region of the plate surface 7 (FIG. 10a, 10b) and also along the rim of the plate (10c-10e). In addition, in a region near the edge of the plate in the lower housing part 6b also recesses or windows through which radiated light from the light source can be emitted to the side or at least partially transparent areas 10f-10h arranged through which the light can shine through or through. The stick plate 1 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 additionally has in the lower end of the housing lower part 6b a region 10i which is at least partially or at least partially translucent. This area 10i may, for example, be annular in shape or correspond to the base area of the housing 6. Thus, light can also go down, i. towards the pad, as well as preferably radiated ring to the side. As shown in FIG. 3 a, the plate surface has two centrally arranged recesses or channels or windows, or two at least partially translucent regions 10 a, 10 b. According to the illustration, this is a substantially circular area and a substantially rectangular area surrounding the comb 11 on the disk surface, wherein the two areas 10a, 10b are arranged substantially along a transverse axis Q arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L. 3, the sleeve 3 has an extension 13 between its upper area 3 a accommodating the pole tube 2 and its lower area 3b facing the pole point 4. Depending on the material properties, the light could possibly be conducted into this extension 13 by coupling in.

The lighting device 5 shown in Fig. 3 may thus be arranged either in a designed as a hollow body stock plate 1, wherein the light emitted from the arranged inside the stock plate light source 9 light flood the interior of the stock plate 1 and through recesses or windows or is emitted via at least partially transparent area over the outer surfaces of the stock plate 1. Alternatively, however, it is also possible for a separate lighting device 5, for example, with a housing 6, to be fastened to the outside of the stock plate 1.

In Fig. 4 six possible arrangements of light source 9, power source 14 and control element 15 are shown on and / or in the stock plate 1.

In Fig. 4a, a lighting device 5 is shown, which is provided in a through hole 16 in a stock plate 1. This can also be designed stepped to receive a suitably stepped housing for the light source. The lighting device 5 can be introduced into the through opening 16 either from above or from below. The lighting device 5 comprises a housing 6 in which the light source 9, the power source 14 and the control element 15 are housed. In this case, the housing 6 may be wholly or partially detachably or firmly mounted on the stock plate 1, i. positively, non-positively and / or materially attached to the stock plate 1.

It is also possible, however, that the housing 6 contains only the light source 9, and that the electronic element 14 and / or the control element 15 are arranged for example in the pole tube 2 or in the handle. In the illustrated arrangement of the lighting device 5, wherein at least the light source 9 is arranged in a through hole 16 of the stock plate 1, the light can be emitted, for example, upwards and / or downwards, wherein the top and / or the bottom of the housing 6 from a at least partially translucent material are formed. The light emitted by the light source 9, which is not emitted upwards and / or downwards, can be coupled within the plate plane T, for example into the material which optionally has optical fibers, be forwarded by the fibers and thus make the stick plate 1 itself glow , This coupling can occur in all or only part of the planes with a radius of up to 360 degrees.

In Fig. 4b a recessed in a recess 16 of the stock plate 1, usable from below lighting device 5 is shown, which can be inserted from below into the recess 16. It is possible that, for example, the central region of the housing 6, which houses the light source 9, is translucent, so that the light can be selectively emitted upwards and downwards. The housing 6 may for example have a polygonal or a round or ellipsoidal plan. By the arrangement of FIG. 4b, it is possible that a portion of the light is emitted downwards, while another portion of the light emitted by the light source 9 can be coupled upwards in the plate plane T or into the material of the stock plate 1, so that the stick plate 1 lights up.

According to the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 4c, the lighting device 5 can also be fed from above into the stick plate 1, i. in a recess 10 of the stock plate 1, be embedded. Thus, light emitted by the light source 9 can be coupled downwards or in the plate plane T into the material of the stick plate 1, and / or be emitted upward through the housing 6 to the environment.

The stick plate 1 shown in Fig. 4d has a lighting device 5, which comprises two housing 6 or housing portions. In this case, the light source 9 is arranged in the upper housing 6 and the power source 14 and / or the control element 15 in the lower housing 6. Thus, the two housings 6 or the light source 9 arranged therein and / or the energy source 14 and / or the control element 15 individually replaceable if required. Particularly practical is an arrangement in which in a first housing, the light source and the controller is arranged and in a second housing, the energy source, and wherein the two housings have means for contacting. Both housing 6 are inserted into a through hole 16 of the stock plate 1 and the stick plate 1 solvable or fixed. If the light source 9, as shown in FIG. 4D, is arranged in the upper region of the stick plate 1, the light can, if the upper side of the housing 6 is designed to be at least partially translucent, be emitted upward and additionally be laterally coupled into the upper plate region. In a reverse arrangement of the two housings 6, i. In which the light source 9 is arranged below the power source 14 and / or the control element 15, the light can be radiated downwards.

According to the embodiment shown in Fig. 4ed light source 9 and power source 14 and / or control element 15 are arranged spatially separated from each other and coupled by contacts 12 together. As shown, both the light source 9 and the energy source 14 and / or the control element 15 are embedded in two separate recesses 16 from the lower side 7b of the stock plate 1. But it is also possible that, for example, the electronic element 14 and / or the control element 15 are arranged at least partially in the pole tube 2, wherein, for example, the control element 15 is a pole-mounted switch, for example a e.g. a two-way or three-way switch configured as a rotary knob, or a foil switch that allows various operating states (e.g., on, off, steady, flashing, various flashing frequencies, brightness, etc.).

According to the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4f, the illumination device 5, preferably at least the light source and the control element, can be mounted on the upper side 7a of the stock plate 1 on its surface. In this case, the lighting device 5 can generally be designed as a surface-mounted component (SMD - "surface mounted device") and in this case is fastened flat to the stick plate 1. The light source is preferably a light emitting diode. This can be arranged on a flexible foil plate 17. According to the curvature of the surface of the stick plate 1, the light can then be radiated in different directions.

It is also possible to arrange a plurality of light sources 9 on and / or in the stock plate 1. With such an arrangement of a plurality of light sources 9, it is possible for the light sources 9 to emit light of different wavelengths. Depending on the light conditions, one or more light sources can be used and the light sources can be used, for example, for different operating states, such as, for example, one light source per light source. Flashing frequencies, may have. But it is also possible that an energy source 14 and / or a control element 15 for a plurality of light sources 9, 9a-9d is responsible.

Fig. 5 shows schematic representations of various embodiments of inventive ping pans, from above, i. seen from the handle of the stick. In addition to the illustrated light sources 9, 9a-9d or at least partially translucent areas or recesses / channels / windows 10a-e, the entire stock plate 1 or individual areas thereof can certainly also shine. This depends on the material of the stock plate 1, its surface condition or coating and the orientation of the light sources 9, 9a-9d inside the stock plate 1 or on its top 7a or bottom 7b. The surface may e.g. roughened, ribbed or otherwise structured, whereby light which impinges on the plate surface can be broken and / or scattered in different ways.

Depending on the type of light source 9 and the material of the floor pan 1 and / or the housing 6, if such a housing is necessary, the function of the light can be adapted to the floor. The one function is that the cane user is better seen by his environment. Another function that can be fulfilled by a stick according to the invention is that the environment is illuminated. Depending on the desired function, light sources of different strength and lighting devices of different arrangement as well as different materials can be distinguished.

According to FIG. 5a, four light-permeable regions or recesses / channels / windows 10b-10e are arranged at regular intervals along the edge of the plate. In addition, a central light-permeable region or a recess 10a is arranged around the sleeve 3 or its central recess 8 for receiving the pole tube 2. If these areas are actual recesses or channels in the stock plate, e.g. Individual light sources 9 or parts of the housing protrude from below through the recesses. If the light-permeable areas are due to the material, the light is emitted by a light source embedded in the stool through these recesses or windows.

Alternatively, such as e.g. In Fig. 5b, instead of the transparent areas 10b-10e also, possibly in addition to the light source 9, inside or below the stocker 1 further individual light sources 9a-9d, e.g. as SMDs, to be mounted on the stick plate 1. According to FIG. 5 b, these light sources are distributed along the edge of the plate, wherein other arrangements or patterns are also possible. According to the illustrated embodiment, an annular recess or an annular region of translucent material is additionally arranged on the upper side of the plate surface, through which light can also radiate from a light source 9 recessed in the pole 1. However, this does not exclude that other plate areas can light up because of their material or the coupling of light.

The translucent areas or the shape of the light sources can be adapted differently to the needs or to the desired optics. According to FIG. 5c, the light sources 9 or the luminous areas can also be of elongated design, or the pole plate 1 can have elongated light-permeable areas in its plate surface 7.

In Fig. 5d, an asymmetric stick plate 1 is shown, which has a circular recess 16, which may also be a through hole has. Thus, for example, a sealed housing 6, which light source (s) 9, electronic module 14 and / or control module 15 can take in, be embedded in this through hole 16 or recess. However, the plate surface of a hollow body formed as a stool 1 may also have a through hole 16 through which a recorded inside a, for example, hollow stick plate 1 light source 9 can emit light. As already mentioned, however, the illumination device 5 shown in FIG. 5d can also be a foil plate on which at least the light source 9, preferably also the energy source 14 and / or the control element 15, are arranged. This board is preferably formed flexible and can be glued, for example, on the plate surface 7, wherein the film board 17 can adapt in shape to the curvature of the plate surface 7.
