Description

The The invention relates to a pole grip with wrist strap.

sticks find use in many sports areas. These extend from Skiing, hiking, rollerblading, cross country skiing, and Nordic walking. Especially during Nordic Walking is the power transmission for rejection is not of paramount importance, Rather, it is the holistic movement of the entire body in the foreground. This includes a wide swing of the Anne forward and backward. A correct Nordic-Walking technique requires a release of the stick handle when swinging backwards. For a variety of sticks this is not possible because of the loop-stick conception, a controlled retrieval of the stick, with open hand he hardly possible is. In addition, a widespread functioning the detachability of the hand strap from a stick handle, which the comfort significantly increases but not always safety positively influenced.

The DE 196 36 852 C1 discloses a stick handle having a releasable connection of the wrist strap with the stick handle. However, the connection position is in the upper third of the stick handle, rather in the lid, as an automatic release is provided at too high a tensile load in the longitudinal direction of the stick. This embodiment has the disadvantage that, when the stick is thrown backwards, contact with the hand is lost. In addition, the letting go of the stick in a fall in which no high tensile load in the longitudinal direction occurs, difficult whereby the risk of injury is increased.

The AT 501 765 B1 discloses a connection mechanism of a hand strap to a pole grip, which allows a rotatable and pivotable mounting of the stick about an axis of rotation which is normal to the contact plane between the hand strap and pole grip. The connection mechanism is designed such that a good guidance of the stick is made possible, but the letting go in a fall difficult / not possible, which increases the risk of injury in use.

Therefore the invention is based on the object a stick handle with a Wrist strap to indicate, on the one hand permanent Contact of the hand to the stick handle, especially when opened Hand guarantees, on the other hand, a simple release of the stick in a fall allowed.

The The object is solved by the features of claim 1.

In known manner are stick handles, such as skiing, hiking, or Nordic-Walking poles, mounted on a stick and provided with wrist loops. Stick handles point beyond a grip area. The grip area is by shaping and / or of edges and / or inserts along the floor direction established. Does a stick handle have no explicit grip area on, the entire pole grip is the grip area.

According to the invention the wrist strap in the second and third quarters of the grip area connected to the stick handle. The wrist strap has a Wrist area, which is characterized by the fact that he Wrist surrounds. In addition, the wrist strap points a connecting area that goes directly to the wrist area connects and connects this with the stick handle. A Active connection exists only between wrist and stick handle. This means a stick exclusively through the wrist is held when the hand has no contact with the stick handle. Preferably, the connection point of the wrist strap is in the Center of a, the stick embracing palm.

The Arrangement of the wrist strap in the second or third quarter The handle area has the particular advantage that the stick, the has a center of gravity in the direction of the stick beyond the stick handle, is stored by the wrist strap so that this when releasing the stick handle, of course, to this storage turns. Thumb and forefinger form one more or less U-shaped recording for about the top Third of the handle area of the stick handle. Is the focus the stick handle in the arm direction behind the wrist and is in With this hand open position, the stick turns about the wrist strap around the middle of the grip area and pushes the upper part of the stick handle into the U-shaped Recording the thumb and forefinger form. This can cause the stick stable even with open hand of thumb and forefinger be held and guided. The distance of the junction of the Wrist strap from the thumb in the longitudinal direction of the stick, is chosen so that with outstretched palm, the palm and a part of the stick handle, as well as the Join the wrist strap loop to form a triangle. For optimum comfort and control role, the connection area of the Wrist strap in finger direction approximately to the middle of the hand stretched hand.

This is particularly relevant in sports where a release of the stick handle is provided during swinging. Nevertheless, the connecting portion of the wrist strap is executed so long that an effortless and immediate sliding of the hand from the pole grip against the stand technology is made possible in any case. This significantly reduces the risk of injury.

In A first embodiment is the wrist strap detachably connected to the pole grip. This has the advantage that the wrist strap can be easily adjusted or adjusted and then connected to the stick handle.

Especially Can the hand strap with the back of the stick handle be connected, which is basically a common Position for attaching loops to a stick handle is and has proven itself.

In According to a further advantageous embodiment, the connection area via the palm of your hand approximately in the middle of the stick handle. there the connection area of the wrist strap lies between the stick handle and hand, it is therefore possible to apply a force in stock lengthwise to transfer the wrist strap, not from the Holding power of the hand must be kept and still the repulsive force strengthened.

In most advantageously, the wrist strap is at the end the connecting portion provided with a first connecting element. In addition, the stick handle also has a second Connecting element, which corresponds to the first connecting element is trained. The first connection element may be in the second connection element arrested and released if necessary. pronounced It is advantageous, the second connecting element within the Stock handle to arrange. This has the consequence that the first connecting element can be plugged into the second connecting element, that the first connecting element is flush with the pole grip surface.

A advantageous embodiment is obtained by the second connecting element is resiliently mounted, so that a catch by engaging behind the first connection element and corresponding release by a Movement against the spring travel is effected. This constitutes one simple and inexpensive implementation of a closure In particular, both locking and release by the Actuation of a proposed actuating means be effected. The actuating means is in an advantageous Way arranged at the stick handle top, as it is there especially easily accessible and very easy to use. By the actuation of the actuating means may alternatively the wrist strap is locked in the pole handle or released again become. In particular, the wrist strap can be operated without it of the actuating means only by inserting the first fastener to be locked and by pressure on the Actuating be solved again. this has the advantage that an adjustment of the loop without binding to the pole handle is possible.

In a further advantageous embodiment closes attach a glove to the wrist strap. It concludes the connection area directly to the wrist area of the glove. A glove has the advantage that the functionality does not affect is, yet a treat of the claimed area between thumbs and forefingers guaranteed.

Especially The area in which the stick handle can be with the wrist strap is connected from the lower limit of the grip area a quarter the grip area spaced over 3/8 of the handle area extend toward the upper limit of the grip area. This Range is particularly effective as the closer the junction stick and wrist strap on the thumb, the more unstable becomes the control.

Further Advantages, features and applications of the present Invention will become apparent from the following description in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the drawing.
