Abstract

ergonomic Ski or hiking pole loop (1 + 4) with built-in sensor (2) for pulse measurement, (3) where the loop shape is based on thumb hole diameter (6) is designed.

Description

The Invention deals with a ski and walking stick loop Built-in heart rate monitor, which preferably for cross country and touring poles as well for Nordic walking poles, use place. Also for other sports e.g. to run is the loop of the invention useful.

Especially in a new sport the so-called Nordic Walking or power walking requires a special design the handle loop. Since this sport is practiced by all age groups, It is advantageous by means of a heart rate monitor the capacity check. So far, for This purpose mainly uses heart rate monitor which the heart rate through a belt-like Device attached around the chest area captures. through then a separate display attached to the wrist the wirelessly transmitted Pulse readable.

It are not sticks yet of any kind, which became known either in the grip or in the Loop have a device to measure the pulse. The Currently used heart rate monitors have the disadvantage that a belt, which strapped around the chest area, because of the sweat is uncomfortable. Furthermore, it disturbs the belt in the sporting movements and is a hindrance.

Of the Invention is based on the object, preferably a Nordic walking pole so to equip the pulse rate by means of one or more Sensors which incorporated on the loop bottom side according to the invention are, determined, and transmits to an ad recognizable. The ad can both in the loop directly, or on the pole handle, as well as on the wrist be housed. In the inventive ergonomic Nordic Walking loop, the Design chosen so that the loop over the back of the hand guided is, especially at the point where the arteries run. In this area, a decrease in the pulse beat is preferred on one or two hands possible. The pulse rate can be measured directly on a pulse display sewn into the loop be read.

The Pulse rate, but can also be wireless using a display on Wrist, or by means of a display device which housed in the stick handle is transmitted, readable become.

central Center of ergonomic invention Strap with built-in heart rate monitor is a thumb hole in round or slightly oval shape, on both sides of the loop parts across the hand longitudinal axis go out, leaving one loop part around the back of the hand and the other loop part in the opposite direction around the palm and continues to be beaten around the hand undecided, then by means of Velcro connection to the loop part which around the back of Hand guided is and also with the velcro associated Flauschband is provided to manufacture.

The Thumb hole of the ergonomic invention Loop has a diameter of the thumb diameter adapted is and is according to the invention one and a half times up to twice the diameter of the thumb, measured at the top of the thumb, as a measure definition.

Of Further, the thumb hole is slightly out of the middle in the direction of the handle attached so that there remains a narrow bridge on which the circumferential Belt straps that transmit the holding force are attached and so sewn together On the one hand, there will be a thumb hole and an ergonomic one bulge the loop. By the offset of the ladies hole out of the middle arises on the opposite Side a double-wide second bridge. Transverse to this axis extend both fastening straps surrounding the hand. Once to the left Side towards the back of the hand and once to the right side towards the palm. The Length of Mounting tab, which is guided around the back of the hand, is more as twice the thumb hole diameter. The length of the Fastening tab, which is guided around the palm, is more as three times the thumb hole diameter. There is a left and a right loop design. The Loop design described here is the left version. In the right version, the ratios are to see in mirror image. Both attachment tabs have on your Ends preferably Velcro closures sewn which consists of hook and loop tape to the overlapping Hold fastening tabs against each other. That's how close it gets Contact and a pleasant support created the bottom of the hand.

According to the invention, a sensor is sewn into the fastening strap which faces the back of the hand, which sensor determines the pulse frequency and displays it on the opposite fastening strap. The built-in display is connected to the sensor by means of cables or wires sewn into the loop. It is also conceivable to accommodate the pulse display in the pole grip, or, as already known, to a separate wrist-mounted, clock-like pulse display transfer.

The ergonomic loop according to the invention, can be made by another variant as a low-cost version be made by taking a tear-resistant one Material punched textile-like air-permeable board used and the shaping achieved only by sewing the end pieces together. The outer edges the loop can by stitching, or hot deformation, rounded down. In this version of the invention described here, deleted the sewing the straps, as the fastening tabs obtained from the stamped part for one Sufficient hold in the grip. The attachment can be a pulse indicator optionally done.

A further execution the inventive, ergonomic Loop with attached pulse display is possible if one without a handle the loop also used for jogging. Since also runners one Prefer pulse measurement and so seek a compact solution, this invention especially for that suitable.

The inventive embodiment of the loop is described with reference to the drawing as follows.

1 shows a left-hand loop according to the invention ( 1 ) with hand and handle ( 5 ) from above on which the sensor ( 2 ) to decrease the pulse rate in the loop ( 1 ) is sewn. The position is in the area of the arteries on the back of the hand.

2 also shows the right hand with the loop according to the invention ( 4 ) shown from above. Again, the sewn-in sensor ( 2 ). recognizable. The pulse display ( 3 ) is housed in the handle. The pulse rate we use by cable ( 13 ) which are sewn in the loop transferred.

3 shows a representation of the left loop ( 1 ) where the values of the pulse rate on the watch-like display ( 3 ) are readable on the arm, which are transmitted by a transmitter.

4 Shows the definition of the thumb diameter at the upper ankle point of the thumb, after which the ergometry of the loop according to the invention is defined.

5 shows a further embodiment of the loop according to the invention ( 7 ) for the right hand, which is made of a platinenartigen blank. By sewing the two fastening tabs ( 10 + 11 ) creates the ergonomic curvature. ( 12 )

6 shows the tailored loop plate according to the invention ( 7 ) for the right hand made of tear-resistant textile-like material, without stitching, but with attached Velcro fastener ( 8th + 9 ) and the non-sewn-together fastening tabs ( 10 + 11 ) for the handle.

7 shows the loop according to the invention ( 1 ) of the left-hand embodiment in the closed state, in which the thumb hole diameters ( 6 ) is displayed in comparison to the thumb ankle measure. Visible is also in this illustration, the overlap of the two retaining tabs, which by means of Velcro, ( 8th + 9 ) are held together.
