Definitions

  • the present invention relates to handles for gripping a ski pole.
  • the ski pole handles generally used comprise a generally cylindrical body, possibly provided with prominences or lateral protections as described in documents US-A-3,479,045 or US-A-4,750,760, arranged in the axis of the rod ski pole or optionally laterally offset as described in documents EP-A-0 081 439 or FR-A-2 602 432, the palm of the hand gripping the cylindrical body in an approximately vertical direction.
  • walking sticks comprising a handle in the form of a cross member substantially perpendicular to the axis of the rod rod.
  • the palm of the hand surrounds the crosspiece in a substantially horizontal position.
  • the traditional ski pole with axial handle is well suited for use in downhill skiing. Indeed, during a descent, while the axial mechanical forces are relatively limited, it is necessary to provide rapid and relatively large oscillation forces to modify the orientation of the stick as required. On the other hand, this pole is not very well suited for using cross-country skiing, in axial thrust.
  • the ski pole with transverse handle is better suited for axial thrust forces, but is not well suited for downhill ski use.
  • the problem proposed by the present invention is to design a universal handle of ski pole, allowing indifferently a use in axial thrust for the rise and a traditional use for the descent.
  • the handle according to the invention is provided with specialized means which can be used sometimes for climbing and sometimes for descending.
  • One of the difficulties consists in designing a structure in which the means which can be used for axial thrusts do not disturb the use of the handle during use when going downhill, and vice versa.
  • Another object of the invention is to design such a universal handle which comprises a wrist strap adaptable to two positions, a first position suitable for use in axial thrust, a second position suitable for use in descent.
  • the ski pole handle according to the invention comprises a base 1 shaped to be fixed to the upper end of a ski pole rod 2 according to a fixing zone 3.
  • the fixing zone 3 is for example an axial housing in which the end of the rod 2 engages in force.
  • the base 1 is surmounted by a cross member 4 which projects laterally on either side of the fixing zone 3, defining a first part 5 of the cross member and a second part 6 of the cross member.
  • the cross 4 forms a transverse handle whose outer peripheral face is adapted to receive the palm of a hand.
  • a longitudinal handle 7 surmounts the crosspiece 4 opposite the fixing zone 3, and develops along an axis II-II substantially parallel to the axis II of the rod 2.
  • the longitudinal handle 7 has a structure similar to that traditional ski pole handles, and is advantageously provided with preferential lateral gripping surfaces, namely a posterior surface 8 that is substantially regular to receive the palm of the hand and an undulating anterior surface 9 to follow the transverse positioning of the fingers of the hand.
  • the length of the longitudinal handle 7 is sufficient to receive the entire hand width of a user, the fingers of the hand being positioned circumferentially around the longitudinal handle 7.
  • the longitudinal handle 7 is connected to the cross-member 4 according to a zone 10 offset laterally with respect to the fixing zone 3.
  • the upper surface of the first part 5 of the cross-member is relatively long and defines a large cross-member branch for receive the palm of the hand, while the upper surface of the second part 6 of the crosspiece is shorter and defines a small branch of the crosspiece receiving the thumb of the hand.
  • the upper surface of the first cross member 5 has a length substantially equal to the width of a palm, while the length of the second cross member 6 may have a smaller dimension, of the order of that of '' inch diameter.
  • the longitudinal handle 7, comprising the rear surface 8 and the front surface 9 which are specialized surfaces, is intended to be held vertically by orienting its front 9 and rear 8 surfaces in an anteroposterior direction illustrated by the axis IV-IV of Figure 2.
  • the longitudinal handle 7 is oriented so that its anteroposterior plane IV-IV defined by the preferential gripping surfaces 8 and 9 is pivoted by an angle A relative to the axis III-III of the cross-member 4.
  • the angle A can advantageously be equal to approximately 45 degrees. It will be noted that the pivoting can be carried out in one direction or the other.
  • the user In use, the user generally has two sticks, namely a stick held in the right hand and a stick held in the left. It is therefore advantageous to provide differentiated sticks for holding in the right hand and held in the left hand: the structure shown in the figures is a stick intended to be held in the right hand. Indeed, when such a stick is held in the right hand, close to the body of the user, the protruding part formed by the first cross member 5 is then oriented outwards, opposite the body of the user. Likewise, a stick for the left hand will have a symmetrical structure, in which the angle A is inverted with respect to that shown in FIG. 2, so that the first cross-member 5 is also opposite the body of the 'user.
  • the first cross member 5, or large cross branch is oriented downward in a direction away from the longitudinal handle 7.
  • a cross member 4 can also be provided substantially perpendicular to axis II.
  • the longitudinal handle 7 advantageously comprises a longitudinal internal passage 11, which opens onto the rear surface 8 of the handle according to an upper orifice 12 close to the top of the handle and according to a lower orifice 13 close to the base of the handle.
  • a strap 14 closed in a ring is passed in duplicate in the passage 11, allowing two respective projecting parts 15 and 16 to protrude outside the respective orifices 12 and 13.
  • Abutment means for example rigid loops 17 and 18, are adapted to one and the other of the protruding parts 15 and 16.
  • the strap 14 slides freely in the passage 11.
  • the abutment means 17 and 18 prohibit their introduction into the corresponding orifices 12 and 13 of the passage 11.
  • the strap 14 has a length sufficient for one or the other of the protruding parts to form an outer loop in which the user can introduce his wrist.
  • This structure constitutes a wrist strap with two uses: in the position shown in FIG. 3, the lower projecting part 16 forms a sufficient loop for the user to pass his wrist through the loop and apply the palm of his hand to the cross-member 4.
  • the loop 17 By pulling on the loop 17, the user enters the protruding part 16, and the loop 18 comes to bear against the orifice 13.
  • the upper protruding part 15 then forms a loop in which the user can pass the wrist, his hand coming to grip the longitudinal handle 7.
  • the strap can be positioned either at the base or at the top of the longitudinal handle 7.
