Definitions
- the present invention relates to trekking poles intended to facilitate the progression of a walker or a runner on rough terrain.
- Such hiking poles are used singly or in pairs, and allow the user to propel themselves with his arms with ease by physically saving himself and keeping his balance.
- hiking poles substantially similar to ski poles are known, comprising a longitudinal rod of fixed length, between a distal end intended to bear on the ground and one end. proximal, with a distal section extending from the distal end and a proximal section following the distal section and extending to the proximal end.
- the proximal section has a length of about 20 centimeters and is covered with a handle, most often provided with a strap to prevent the loss of hiking stick.
- the user constantly holds the hiking stick by its handle, near its proximal end.
- Such hiking poles do not allow a comfortable use allowing an optimal and ergonomic propulsion of the user, especially on uneven terrain with different gradients, because the distance between the ground and the hand of the user is necessarily constant and equal to the length of the hiking stick.
- telescopic hiking poles substantially similar to ski poles with a strap, having locking means allowing the adjusting the length of the distal section of the hiking stick to adjust its size to the gradient of the terrain and the size of the user and to limit its size.
- the straps of all these hiking sticks can cause, in case of blockage of the tip of the trekking stick in the ground, serious joint damage to the wrist, the elbow or the shoulder of the user.
- a first problem proposed by the invention is to design a hiking stick that allows a user, regardless of its size, an ergonomic and safe grip for optimal propulsion on uneven terrain with different gradients (climb, descents, flat and cant).
- the invention seeks to limit the risk of muscle fatigue and contractures that may occur in a user due to vibrations caused by contacting the tip of the hiking stick with the ground.
- the invention aims to design a hiking stick adapted to the demanding conditions of endurance races in the mountains.
- Such a hiking stick allows the user to place his hand in any part of the proximal section of great length to adapt the height of his grip on his hiking stick type of terrain rugged met and at his height.
- the user can thus position his hand on the hiking stick so that his arm has a suitable position for optimal propulsion and without embarrassment. This positioning can be done quickly and easily with each new step that the user makes to better take into account the slope of the terrain.
- the hand of the user is not held near the proximal end by a strap, which allows to let the hiking stick escape if its tip in the ground. There is no longer any risk of joint damage to the wrist, elbow or shoulder of the user.
- the outer gripping sleeve of resilient material extending over a large part thereof, makes it possible to limit the entry into vibration of the hiking stick when the tip is brought into contact with the ground.
- the outer gripping sleeve of resilient material interposed between the hiking stick rod and the hand, limits the transmission in the hand and the arm of the user, the vibrations of the hiking stick can possibly still happen.
- the outer gripping sleeve of resilient material provides a reliable grip, the fingers of the user being able to penetrate slightly in the resilient material to "wedge" the user's grip on the height of the outer sleeve gripping.
- the holding of the hiking stick is then pleasing and ergonomic, the outer grip sleeve conforming perfectly to the shape of the hand of the user.
- the distal section may extend from the distal end in a length of about 50 centimeters.
- the proximal section may have a length greater than about 60 centimeters, preferably between about 60 and about 70 centimeters. Such a length makes it possible to obtain a good reduction of the vibrations and a good placement of hands (in particular in the strong climbs) without to excessively weigh down the hiking stick.
- the longitudinal rod may extend along a length of about 110 to 140 centimeters, preferably about 130 centimeters.
- the hiking stick thus has a length which is a good compromise for users of different sizes, and for optimal use by them on rough terrain with common slopes.
- the outer grip sleeve may have an outer diameter of from about 25 to about 35 millimeters.
- the outer gripping sleeve may be made of a porous or absorbent material.
- the outer gripping sleeve thus absorbs perspiration that the user can have on the hands, perspiration that could make sliding contact between the hand of the user and the hiking stick and thus adversely affect the propulsion of the user.
- the outer gripping sleeve may comprise, on its outer surface, reliefs producing transverse corrugations.
- the fingers of the user are thus housed in the recesses of the transverse corrugations to ensure greater reliability of the grip of the user, opposing the sliding of the hand along the proximal section.
- the center of gravity of the hiking stick is in a section of the hiking stick which is covered by the outer sleeve gripping.
- the proximal section with an outer gripping sleeve is in this case of sufficient length to extend to the center of gravity of the hiking stick.
- Such an arrangement of the outer grip sleeve allows the user to grasp the hiking stick in the vicinity of its center of gravity to bring it horizontally without tightening and therefore without corresponding fatigue of the hand tightening muscles, and allows it to run without embarrassment in the case of an endurance race in particular.
- the figure 1 illustrates a hiking stick 15 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
- It comprises a longitudinal shaft 1 of axis II, of fixed length L3, between a distal end 2 intended to bear on the ground and a proximal end 3, with a distal section 4 extending from the distal end 2 , and with a proximal section 5 following the distal section 4 and extending to the proximal end 3.
- the proximal section 5 is devoid of a strap. This avoids inducing in the user a psychological stress generally leading him to place his hands in a single position, even when the strap is adjustable and / or movable.
- the proximal section 5 is covered with an outer grip sleeve 6 made of a resilient material and has a length L1 greater than about 50 centimeters.
- Such a hiking stick 15 does not limit the placement of the hand of the user who can seize the hiking stick 15 along the entire length L1 to adapt at will the height of his grip on his hiking stick 15 to the type of terrain accident encountered, and this regardless of the size of the user.
- the user can indeed position his arm appropriately to propel itself optimally and without embarrassment.
- the placement of his hand and the positioning of his arm are done quickly and easily with each new step that the user, to take into account the slope of the ground that can vary with each step.
- the hand of the user is not retained near the proximal end 3 by a strap. This allows to escape the hiking stick 15 in case of blockage of the tip 7 in the ground. There is no longer any risk of joint damage to the wrist, elbow or shoulder of the user.
- the outer gripping sleeve 6 made of resilient material, extending over a large part of the hiking stick 15, makes it possible to limit the entry into vibration of the latter when the tip 7 is brought into contact with the ground.
- the outer gripping sleeve 6 made of resilient material also makes it possible to limit the transmission, in the user's hand and arm, of the vibrations of the hiking stick 15 that may still occur when the tip 7 is brought into contact with floor.
- the outer gripping sleeve 6 of resilient material provides a reliable grip, the fingers of the user being able to penetrate slightly into the resilient material to "wedge" the user's grip on the outer gripping sleeve 6.
- the holding the hiking stick 15 is then pleasing and ergonomic, the outer gripping sleeve 6 conforms perfectly to the shape of the hand of the user.
- the distal section 4 of the hiking stick 15 extends from the distal end 2 along a length L 2 of between approximately 40 and 60 centimeters approximately.
- the hiking stick 15 thus has a size that allows its use by the majority of the population, despite differences in size between individuals. For this purpose, it has been found that a length L 2 of about 50 centimeters is a good compromise for ensuring that the hiking stick 15 is gripped by the outer gripping sleeve 6 even in the case of moving on steep declivity as can be encountered in the mountains, without lengthening the outer gripping sleeve 6 way too important not to unnecessarily burden the hiking stick 15.
- the longitudinal rod 1 extends along a length L3 of approximately 110 to 140 centimeters, advantageously 130 centimeters.
- the outer grip sleeve 6 has an outer diameter D1 of between about 25 and about 35 millimeters.
- the diameter of the longitudinal rod 1 may be substantially constant over the entire length L1, or may decrease substantially towards the distal end 2. In the latter case, it is ensured that the smallest diameter of the outer gripping sleeve 6 is substantially equal to at least 25 mm.
- an outer grip sleeve 6 too thin requires the user a large clamping pressure with his fingers, which can induce premature muscle fatigue or cramps.
- the outer gripping sleeve 6 is made of a porous or absorbent material to ensure non-slip contact between the user's hand and the outer gripping sleeve 6, allowing the exercise of a large propulsive force and a more pleasant contact between the hand of the user and the outer gripping sleeve 6.
- the figure 2 illustrates a second embodiment of the invention.
- the outer gripping sleeve 6 has, on its outer surface, reliefs 8 forming transverse corrugations 9.
- the transverse corrugations 9 are annular with a succession of cavities 10 and annular bumps 11 along the length L1 of the outer gripping sleeve 6.
- the reliefs 8 facilitate the longitudinal wedging of the hand of the user to prevent it from sliding accidentally and unwanted along the longitudinal axis II when it seeks to propel itself by exerting an axial thrust force on the hiking stick 15.
- the outer diameter D 1 of the outer gripping sleeve 6 is taken on reliefs 8 in the form of a bump 11.
- the center of gravity G of the hiking stick 15 is in a section T which is covered by the outer gripping sleeve 6.
- the user can then grab his hiking stick 15 in the vicinity of its center of gravity G to bring it horizontally without getting tired and to run without embarrassment. This is particularly useful in the case of endurance races on sometimes rough terrain and sometimes flat, in which it is necessary to alternate running and walking.
- the longitudinal rod 1 is hollow tubular. This may advantageously be made of a metal alloy, preferably aluminum alloy to prevent corrosion, resist external aggression and give the hiking stick 15 good strength. Alternatively, carbon or glass fibers may be used.
- the outer gripping sleeve 6 is made of synthetic foam, advantageously polyethylene (PE) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA).
- the synthetic foam preferably has a density close to 50 kg / m 3 . Such density seems a good compromise to ensure a reliable grip of the user without degrading the outer gripping sleeve 6 when applied to it, to prevent the trekking stick 15 from vibrating and attenuating the vibrations transmitted in the arm of the user. user, and to ensure a comfortable and ergonomic grip while being slightly deformable.
- the longitudinal rod 1 consists of two segments 1a and 1b secured in a detachable manner along a connecting zone 1c. It is possible to provide more than two segments.
- FIGS 3 to 8 schematically illustrate some modes of use of the hiking stick 15 according to the invention.
- the user 12 walks on a substantially horizontal floor 13.
- the user 12 holds the hiking stick 15 in the hand 16 of its upper limb 14.
- the user 12 To participate in its propulsion, the user 12 is using the hiking stick 15 and its upper limb 14. In the position of the figure 3 , the user 12 is about to exert on the ground an axial thrust with the aid of his hiking stick 15. For this thrust to be effective and without unnecessary fatigue, the arm 18 and the forearm 19 form, in the sagittal plane of the user 12, an angle ⁇ of about 90 °. The hand 16 is then positioned substantially in the middle of the length L1 of the outer gripping sleeve 6. At the end of the propulsion, the angle ⁇ is greater than 90 ° (not shown).
- the user 12 walks on a floor 13 on a rising slope.
- the user 12 is preparing to exert on the ground an axial thrust using his hiking stick 15.
- the upper limb 14 of the user 12 has an angle ⁇ between the arm 18 and the forearm 19, the angle ⁇ being substantially equal to 90 ° when it is about to exert on the ground a push with the help of his hiking stick 15.
- the user 12 naturally places his hand 16 on the outer gripping sleeve 6 in a staggered position towards the distal end 2 of the hiking stick 15.
- the hand 16 of the user 12 is however still located in a portion of the hiking stick 15 provided with the outer gripping sleeve 6.
- the user 12 walks on a ground 13 downhill.
- the user 12 is about to "amortize” his downhill step using the hiking stick 15.
- the upper limb 14 of the user 12 comprises, between the arm 18 and the forearm 19, an angle ⁇ substantially equal to 90 ° when it is about to exert on the ground an axial force of restraint (or depreciation) using his hiking stick 15.
- the user 12 naturally places his hand 16 on the outer gripping sleeve 6 in a position offset towards the proximal end 3 of the hiking stick 15.
- the hand 16 of the user 12 is however always located in a section of the hiking stick 15 provided with the outer gripping sleeve 6.
- the angle ⁇ is less than 90 ° (not shown).
- the user 12 progresses on a path 17 on the hillside or in "slope". He helps himself with two trekking poles 15a and 15b that he holds in his hands 16a and 16b.
- the hand 16a is shifted towards the proximal end 3 of the hiking stick 15a while the hand 16b is shifted towards the distal end 2 of the hiking stick 15b.
- the user 12 can position his hands 16a and 16b without embarrassment, optimally, to balance and help him in his progress.
- the hiking sticks 15a and 15b allow the user 12, by their configuration, to maintain between the arms 18a and 18b and the forearms 19a and 19b respective angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 optimal for its propulsion if the path 17 is horizontal or uphill or for the damping of its descent if the path 17 is downhill.
- the angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 may be substantially 90 °, in the sagittal plane of the user 12, at the beginning of the application on the ground an axial propulsion or damping force through the trekking poles 15a and 15b.
- the Figures 7 and 8 illustrate more specific uses of trekking poles 15a and 15b in endurance racing in rough terrain.
- the user 12 runs on the ground 13.
- the user 12 holds his hiking poles 15a and 15b horizontally, with the longitudinal axis II of these oriented almost horizontally, to avoid disturbing his legs during his race and avoid rubbing his trekking poles 15a and 15b on the ground 13.
- the trekking poles 15a and 15b tend to assume a position inclined with respect to the horizontal and come to disturb the user's legs 12 in his run. To avoid this discomfort, the user 12 must then permanently exercise with his hands 16a and 16b a rebalancing torque to maintain his trekking poles 15a and 15b horizontally. The exercise of such a rebalancing torque induces fatigue of the wrist and the arm of the user 12.
- the invention provides that the grip of the user 12 is in the sections T covered by the outer gripping sleeves 6 and which include the centers of gravity G hiking poles 15a and 15b.
- the hands 16a and 16b of the user 12 are not in contact with metal parts hiking sticks 15a and 15b which can be cold, and slippery in case of rain.
- the user 12 uses his hand 16 to perform an action (read a topographic map for example) and placed his trekking poles 15a and 15b under his left armpit so as not to drop them.
- the outer gripping sleeves 6 largely cover the longitudinal rod 1 of the trekking poles 15a and 15b, and more particularly the zone placed between the arm 18 and the side 20 of the user 12.
- the trekking poles 15a and 15b each have an outer diameter D1 sufficient to not escape the holding of the user 12.
- the outer gripping sleeve 6 is made of a resilient material, the trekking poles 15a and 15b do not slip and do not assume a different orientation from that in which the user 12 has placed them.
