Definitions

  • This invention relates to an articulated pole for ski slopes, of the kind including a ferrule to be driven into the snow and an above-ground pole consisting of a tubular element connected to the said ferrule by a joint which allows the tubular element to bend after being hit, in which, in proximity to the top end portion of the pole, a strengthening element made in such a way as to strengthen this area is provided, in such a way as to avoid any possible break in the event the pole, after being hit, bangs against the ground.
  • this strengthening element consists of a part of tube to be fitted to the top end portion of the pole, for example a tube which is fitted inside the pole in proximity to the free end portion, and secured according to known systems, for example by gluing, welding or similar method.
  • this strengthening element may consists of an extension, also having a tubular shape, of the cap which closes the top end portion of the pole.
  • the strengthening element may also consist of an outer protective case which is fitted on the top end portion of the pole, also secured according to known systems.
  • the case may be made in the shape of a jacket which forms a single body with the closing cap and which projects downwardly from the latter.
  • the slalom poles used to mark the track on the ski slopes substantially consist of a tubular element which stick out of the ground for a length of approximately 180-200 cm. and which is connected by a joint with an elastic return element to a ferrule which is driven into the snow or into the ground. If during a ski race a skier hits a pole, such pole may inflect and bend in such a way as to reduce the impact with the athlete, and then return in the erect position by means of the elastic return element, which usually consists of a spring, of the joint.
  • the new techniques allow the athletes to pass much closer to the pole, even brushing it, with the consequence that the impact does not occur any more between the athlete's arm and the central part of the pole, but often at the base, with the shin-bone or the ski boot which impacts the pole in proximity to the joint, and transmitting such an energy as to hustle the pole against the ground.
  • the portion of the tube which is subject to the higher strain is the peripheral one, that is the free end portion, since it is the one which impacts at higher speed and, as a consequence of it, it is the portion which. is subject to the most frequent breakages.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome this drawback, by proposing an articulated pole for ski slopes, provided with a strengthening element capable of strengthening the end portion of the pole.
  • the solution shall take account of the requirements such poles must comply with, according to which the type approval rules prescribe that the tube must be made of a homogeneous material and without any projection, smooth, in such a way as to avoid any friction, and must be light but with a fixed weight/suppleness ratio in order to avoid the so called "whip" effect.
  • Any strengthening element of the pole shall be therefore as light as possible, in such a way as not to alter the behaviour of the pole itself.
  • the pole is fitted with a reinforcing element only at the free end portion, for a length which may vary from approx. 5-6 cm. up to approx. 40 cm.
  • the pole according to the invention consists of a ferrule 1, to be driven into the snow or into the ground and a tubular element 2 which forms the actual pole, connected to the ferrule by a flexible joint 3 which may consist, for example, of a spring, of a flexible cable anchored by means of springs to the ferrule and to the pole or of other known system and which brings the element 2 back to a substantially vertical position.
  • a flexible joint 3 which may consist, for example, of a spring, of a flexible cable anchored by means of springs to the ferrule and to the pole or of other known system and which brings the element 2 back to a substantially vertical position.
  • the top end portion of the pole 2 is closed by the cap 7.
  • the pole may be made of different materials, even if preferably a plastic material is used, offering the necessary characteristics of lightness, resistance and suppleness.
  • the pole has generally a diameter between 23 and 30 mm. and a length between 180 and 200 cm.
  • the pole is strengthened, at the top end portion, by an inner reinforced tube indicated with 4, fitted into the tubular element 2 and fixed according to known systems.
  • the strengthening element 4 may be glued, welded, or made in a single body with the cap 7 which, in turn, is fitted to the pole under pressure, or by screwing or by other known systems.
  • this strengthening element may consist of the cap itself, which in such case has a proper length, as shown in figure 3.
  • the length of the strengthening element shall not, however, generally exceed 40 cm., since longer elements would increase too much the weight and therefore the inertia of the pole, with a consequent progressive decay of the lightness and suppleness characteristics of the said pole.
  • an external protective case 6 covering the top end portion of the tubular element 2 is fitted on the body 2 of the pole.
  • the pole according to the invention is characterised, as compared to the poles according to known systems, by an improved strength and resistance to the impacts without affecting the characteristics of lightness or suppleness of the pole, thus resulting in a better usability of the product.
  • the dimensions, as well as the materials used may vary according to the needs of use.
