Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to an ergonomically designed pole grip, in particular for a ski pole, cross-country pole, walking stick, or Nordic walking pole. The handle comprises a handle body which has an upper end projection in the forward direction of movement in the direction of movement and / or in the direction of movement in the rearward direction in the head region, which is located above the gripping hand and adjacent to it. In addition, such a handle has at least on the rearward side via a lower end projection, which is arranged when engaging below the gripping hand and adjacent thereto.

STATE OF THE ART

Especially in the field of alpine ski poles, but equally in the field of trekking poles, it is perceived as pleasant when the pole grip has an ergonomic design. On the one hand, this increases the grip feeling, and on the other hand, it enables an improved introduction of force by the hand in the axial direction to the stick, without the grip force having to be excessively large.

Accordingly, there are a plurality of handles, which have on the forward in the direction of travel respectively direction forward side a recess for the index finger, which is separated from the grip portion of the remaining fingers by a projection, and which in the direction of travel respectively direction of travel backward side have a lower end projection, on which the force can be supported under the hand edge when repelled.

Such a construction is for example in the German utility model DE 29 801 388 U1 shown.

The problem with such an ergonomic design is that, depending on the size and shape of the hand, in principle, another three-dimensional outer shape for

Would have to be made available to ensure optimal conditions. A first improvement in this regard could be achieved by the knowledge that only one recess for the index finger, but not further depressions for the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger is provided on the front, since the latter are immediately disturbed at different hand sizes if they are not positioned exactly right. The US 4,645,235 discloses a two-part pole handle which is adaptable in its thickness to different sizes by the attachment of elements of different widths.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved construction of a pole grip available, which is particularly suitable for different hand sizes or shapes. In particular, it is a matter of improving a pole grip, in particular for a ski pole, cross-country pole, hiking pole, or Nordic walking pole, with a grip body, the grip body being directed forwardly in the direction of movement and / or on the side directed toward the rear in the head region an upper end projection which, when gripped, is disposed above and adjacent to the gripping hand, and at least on the rearward side there is a lower end projection which, when gripped, is disposed below and adjacent to the gripping hand.

The solution to this problem is achieved by the features of claim 1, and thus in particular by the fact that the handle body is constructed of at least two individual pole-grip elements, wherein a first pole-grip element with the pole tube is positively and / or non-positively immovably connected, and a second pole grip element lockable slidably and / or interchangeably on the first pole-grip element, wherein the second pole-grip element is mounted displaceably in a direction substantially parallel to the main axis of the pole grip relative to the first pole-grip element or fixed in discrete positions, so that an adaptation to different hand sizes is made possible.

The essence of the invention is therefore the stick handle of two in their relative Arrangement to build against each other in different positions fixable elements. The two elements can be set in different positions in such a way that an adaptation to different hand sizes or to wearing with / without glove is made possible. In particular, it is possible to absorb very large differences, for example, at the same time to allow the possibility of adaptation to a child's hand, and an adult's hand. In other words, a somewhat "growing" pole grip is provided.

The stick handle is characterized in that the first pole-grip member forms the head portion and the forward-facing portion, and the second pole-grip member is disposed on the rearward-direction side. In this case, the second pole grip element comprises the lower, rearwardly directed closing projection. Preferably, the second pole-grip element at least partially forms the rearwardly directed grip region of the pole grip. Thus, the second pole-grip element is substantially L-shaped in that the second pole-grip element preferably extends both in the lower region of the rearward grip region of the pole grip, which comes to lie in the palm of the user, as well as the rearwardly directed grip region projecting end projection, which at least partially surrounds the respective lower hand edge of the user respectively supports forms. Preferably, the rearwardly directed closing projection is formed in one piece with the rearwardly directed grip region of the pole grip in one piece or firmly formed thereon. As a result of the height adjustment of the second grip element in the axial direction parallel to the pole axis, both the rearwardly directed grip region of the pole grip and the termination projection protruding to the rear are thus jointly displaced together. If the second pole-grip element is displaced downwards, then the grip size can be adapted to a larger hand, since the rearward-facing closing projection moves downwards and makes room for a larger hand in the axial direction. As a result of the partial superimposition of the first pole-grip element through the second pole-grip element, areas of the first pole-grip element are exposed in the axial direction toward the bottom when the second pole-grip element is displaced, and with a shift upward, ie for the shaft Adapted to a smaller size hands those areas of the first pole-grip element again covered, with lower portions of the first pole-grip element are exposed at a displacement of the second pole grip element up again. The rear-facing heel is also well suited as a point of attack for the displacement of the second pole grip element, since the paragraph is easy to grip around.

This special design has proved on the one hand as structurally particularly simple, and on the other hand allows the largest possible adjustment. The concept is based on that to some extent the axial position of the hand is determined by the position of the index finger in the front recess by the first pole grip element regardless of the size of the hand. In the prior art grips, it is now problematic that the lower rear terminating projection on which the lower edge of the hand should rest for efficient repulsion is located away from the hand when the hand is too small for the pole grip. According to the invention, precisely this lower rear closing projection is designed to be adjustable in its axial position, that is to say it can be simply pushed so far from a lower position for very large hands until it lies comfortably against the lower edge in the user's hand comes and accordingly repels an efficient and allows a comfortable grip. This can be achieved in a particularly advantageous embodiment in constructive terms if the second pole-grip element at least partially forms the rearwardly directed grip region of the pole grip.

The invention is thus characterized in that the second pole-grip element is mounted in a direction essentially parallel to the main axis of the pole grip with respect to the first pole-grip element, preferably continuously, ie continuously, displaceably or in discrete positions. In this case, the second pole-grip element is preferably displaceably mounted via a set screw mounted in the first pole-grip element. This screw can be arranged substantially axially to the axis of the pole grip. It preferably comprises a screw whose axial position is invariable within the first pole-grip member, and further comprises an on or in the second pole grip member on the thread of this screw running threaded element, which integral with the second pole-grip element or as a separate component can be trained.

There are preferably two different possibilities, a first possibility in which the screw is arranged rotationally fixed and a rotatable counter element on the second pole grip element is present, or to some extent in a permutation that the screw is rotatably mounted and a non-rotatable counter element on or in the second pole grip element is available.

Accordingly, another embodiment is characterized in that the screw is rotatably disposed in the first pole grip member, and that the threaded member is an adjusting nut (for example a knurled nut) which rotates in or on the second pole grip member but in the axial position relative to the second pole grip member is arranged fixed. In this case, upon rotation of the adjusting nut, the axial position of the second pole-grip element is changed relative to the first pole-grip element. The adjusting nut is particularly preferably accessible from the outside in that area on which the palm of the hand comes to rest, but it is also possible to arrange this adjusting nut accessible at another location.

The alternative embodiment is characterized in that the screw is rotatably arranged in the first pole grip element, and that the threaded element is a non-rotatable thread in the second pole grip element (this non-rotatable thread may be formed as a separate component or in the material of the second pole grip element, for example as internal thread be formed), wherein upon rotation of the screw, the axial position of the second pole grip member is changed relative to the first pole grip element. Preferably, the screw is accessible from below below the second pole grip element or from above in the region of the head.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the second pole-grip element via at least one, with respect to the main axis of the pole grip perpendicular (that is usually radially) arranged, and passing through a hole through the second pole grip element fixing screw (preferably, two such fixing screw axially offset arranged) in different axial Positions with respect to the first pole grip element can be determined. In this case, a substantially axially aligned guide recess is preferably arranged in the first pole grip element, in which at least one, preferably two (eg formed as a square) lock nuts are mounted axially displaceable but rotationally fixed, and that the at least one fixing screw engages in the thread of this lock nut , In principle, at least two discretely positioned mating threads for the fixing screws can also be arranged in the first pole-grip element, so that the second pole-grip element can be fixed in discrete axial positions.

In order to ensure a shift-secure attachment of the two elements relative to each other in such a manner of variable attachment, it may prove advantageous according to a preferred embodiment, when the first pole-grip element and the second pole-grip element have a toothing, which interlock by axial engagement of the reinforced two elements against each other and allows a nearly infinite adjustability.

According to a further alternative preferred embodiment, the relative position of the second pole grip element to the first pole grip element can be determined via at least one transverse pin, wherein the at least one transverse pin is preferably mounted in a transverse bore in the first pole grip element and / or in a transverse bore in the second pole grip element. In this case, it is preferable for the first pole-grip element to have an axial comb at least in a lower region and for the second pole-grip element to have a corresponding axial groove extending at least partially over the length of the second pole-grip element, or for the first pole-grip element to have an axial groove, and the second pole-grip element via a corresponding axial comb. In addition, it is advantageous if axially offset at least two or three holes and / or recesses are provided in the axial comb, through which the transverse pin can pass and thus the axial position of the second pole grip element on the first pole grip element can be fixed. It is preferred that the first pole-grip element has an axial groove and the second pole-grip element via a corresponding axial comb, wherein the axial groove has at least one additional undercut and the axial comb has at least one additional broadening. Preferably, both the axial groove and the axial comb T-shaped, wherein the lateral undercuts of the groove or the broadening of the comb on both sides out the crossbar of the letter T make. The axial groove of the first pole-grip element can be open at the bottom, and is suitable for receiving an axial comb arranged in a lower region of the second pole-grip element, preferably from below. The first pole-grip element furthermore preferably has at least two axially offset tangential bores in an area delimiting the axial groove, and the second pole-grip element has a (single) tangential bore which is coaxial to the tangential bore when the second pole-grip element is positioned at the desired adjustment height comes to rest of the first pole grip element. The transverse pin used with the second pole grip element mounted on penetrates, according to a further preferred embodiment, the first pole-grip element twice and the second pole-grip element three times, wherein in the second pole-grip element the axial comb is once penetrated by the transverse pole.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the first pole-grip element forms the head area and the forward-facing area, and the second pole-grip element is arranged in the direction of movement in the rearward direction that the second pole-grip element comprises the lower, rearwardly directed closure projection, in that the second pole-grip element at least partially forms the rearwardly directed grip region of the pole grip, and in that the first pole-grip element has axially extending lateral guide grooves and the second pole-grip element has corresponding guide ribs engaging in these guide grooves. Preferably according to another embodiment, the first pole-grip element forms the lower region of the pole grip and has at least the lower end projection, and the second pole grip member forms the upper portion of the pole grip and has at least the upper end projection on.

Another possible embodiment is characterized in that the second pole-grip element is exchangeable and can be applied or used in different colors and / or materials and / or external shapes. Thus, it is for example possible to provide hard or soft elements according to the wishes of the customer or after use (with or without gloves), wherein the different material properties can be made recognizable by different colors. In addition, different outer shapes can be provided to allow even better adaptation to different hand geometries, with a coding on the color is also possible here.

Typically, the first pole-grip element and / or the second pole-grip element is made of plastic, cork, wood or a combination of these materials, wherein in addition (area-wise) grip-friendly coatings may be provided.

Further preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

WAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

As a result, the invention as defined in the appended claims will be explained with reference to a plurality of embodiments. The embodiments are intended to be interpreted only to illustrate the invention and not to limit the scope, as defined in the claims.

In Fig. 1 a first embodiment is shown. In the FIGS. 1a ) -e) is the position shown in which the stick handle is set for the largest possible hand.

The pole grip 2 comprises a grip body, which has on its underside a recess 1 for a (not shown) pole tube. At the other end of the pole as a rule a tip and possibly a plate is arranged. The pole grip 2 is designed ergonomically, i. he has in the head area 3 on the front side 4 via an upper end rib or rather an upper end projection 8, which prevents the stick can slide back out of the gripping hand, for example, when tightening the arm. Downwards follows then a front handle portion 9, which is separated from the front grip area for middle finger, ring finger and little finger 6 by a rib or a projection 7. At the bottom, the stick handle on the front side is usually delimited by a lower end rib 14.

In such a stick handle already a certain suitability for different hand sizes is given by the fact that only a single rib 7 is arranged on the front between the fingers, namely between forefinger and middle finger.

On the back 5, the pole grip has a, usually poorly trained upper end rib 12 in the head area 3 and a normally very strong trained lower end rib 13, which in particular allows an efficient application of force when repelling and a good edition of the hand for better control of the stick. In addition, the pole grip in its head region 3 in this case has a recess 19 for a wrist strap. In this area, but also a fixing mechanism may be arranged, for example of the type as shown in the EP 1 036 579 or in the WO2004 / 052476 or in the EP 0 925 099 is described. It is essential, among other things, that the pole grip is made up of two individual pole-grip elements. There is a first pole-grip element 11, which is attached to the pole, respectively, which has the above-mentioned recess 1 for the pole. This first pole-grip element 11 forms the entire front area and the head area and is enclosed in these areas directly by hand. On the lower back 5, a second pole-grip element 10 is now arranged. This is designed so that it forms the rear lower portion of the stick handle and there is also enclosed by the gripping hand. In particular, the lower end rib, respectively the lower end projection 13, is part of this variable and / or sliding second pole-grip element 10. In this first embodiment, the position of this second pole-grip element 10 is displaceable in its axial position via a mechanism described below, ie it can be from the lowest position, which is shown in the figures a) -e), in positions higher up, ie in a middle position ( Fig. 1f ) -i)) and a topmost position ( Fig. 1k ) -m)) are steplessly shifted.

The second pole-grip element 10 is designed for this purpose as a hollow profile-shaped element enclosing the first pole-grip element at least partially somewhat U-shaped. It has on the two side flanks inwardly directed guide ribs 21 which engage in corresponding, laterally exposed guide grooves 20 in the first pole grip element 11 such that the second pole-grip element with respect to the pole tube, respectively with respect to the pole grip, are displaced in the axial direction can.

In the first floor handle element is coaxial with the pole tube, an axial screw 15th attached. It is embedded with its tip in an upper guide bore and held in the lower region in a lower guide 27. The screw 15 has a lower screw head (in this case designed as a hexagon socket), and in the area above this screw 15 has an external thread. The screw is rotatably attached to the first stick handle element, ie the screw can be solved only with the application of force targeted on the screw head from its attachment in the first floor handle element.

The middle region of this screw is to some extent free and serves as a helical backdrop for the adjusting nut 16. The adjusting nut 16 is equipped with an internal thread and preferably structured as a knurled nut. The knurled nut preferably has a grip-friendly surface, this can be ensured, for example, by a choice of material or coating (for example rubber) or by grooves, knobs or depressions or the like. The adjusting nut 16 can be set according to rotation in its axial position. The guided in the grooves 20 second pole-grip element has a recess 17 through which the adjusting nut at least partially emerges outwards, and which in particular couples the axial position of the adjusting nut 16 to the axial position of the second pole-grip element 10.

Through the recess 17, which to some extent forms an operating window, the adjusting nut 16 is actuated accordingly. If now turned on this adjusting nut 16, it moves from a lower position a) -e) first in a middle position, wherein the second pole-grip element 10 is carried. This middle position is in the Figures 1 f) -h ).

If the adjusting screw 16 continues to be rotated, the adjusting nut 16 shifts and, in synchronism, the second pole-grip element 10 continues up to the uppermost position, which is in the Figures 1 k) -m ) is shown.

In order to cover this entire area, the second pole-grip element 10 has an upper coverage area 22 which, for example, as shown in FIG Fig. 1m ), can pass over a lower paragraph in a stop for the uppermost position.

As in particular from the consequence of Figures 1 a) -f ) and k) can be recognized, in particular the axial distance between the upper forward end projection 8 and the lower rear end projection 13 is successively reduced by the displacement of the second pole-grip element 10 relative to the first pole-grip element 11. Since these two projections are essential for the feel of the handle and for the efficiency of holding, can be covered accordingly on the adjustability of the relative positioning of these two projections an exceptionally large range of hand sizes. In fact, studies have shown that the position of the projection 7 is less critical in this respect. In other words, the pole grip is in the position as in the position FIGS. 1a ) -e) suitable for receiving large hands or hands with large-volume gloves, the stick handle in the position according to f) -i) for a medium hand size, and the position according to k) -m) for small hands. Thus, for example, it is possible for a stick handle to grow with a child's hand, and successively move the second stick handle element 10 from the uppermost position to the lowermost position as the hand grows.

Another embodiment with a similar construction is shown in FIG Fig. 2 shown. Here, too, there is an axial screw 15, but this is now not rotatably in the first floor handle element 11 but rotatably mounted. It also has an external thread at the top and a screw head at the bottom. The second pole-grip element 10 in this case has two threaded regions (a threaded region would also be possible), ie in the regions 28, an internal thread has been drilled in the element 10. Otherwise, the second pole-grip element 10 is formed very similar to FIG. 1 , only in this embodiment, no ventilation holes are provided, and the lower cavity 18 is substantially smaller due to the different construction.

In this second exemplary embodiment, the second pole-grip element 10 can now be moved from its lowest position (FIG. Fig. 2a ) -c)) to the middle position ( Fig. 2 d) -e )) and up to the top position ( Fig. 2f ) -g)) by using a tool, in this specific case with a hexagon wrench, the screw 15 over the Screw head 24 is rotated. As a result of the rotation of this screw, the pole-grip element 10 is successively displaced as a result of the internal thread 28 on the second pole-grip element 10, since the second pole-grip element can only be displaced in the axial direction due to its design in the guide grooves 20 with the guide ribs 21.

In Fig. 3 a third embodiment is shown, which differs from the embodiment according to Fig. 2 essentially differs only in that instead of the almost hidden in the cavity 18 embodiment of the screw head 24 of this screw head 24 is formed as a larger knurled screw head, which can be operated by hand from the outside. It is thus increased the Umstellkomfort ,.

In Fig. 4 a fourth embodiment is shown, wherein in a) -f) the lowest position of the second pole-grip element 10 is shown and in g) -k) the uppermost position of the second pole-grip element 10, ie that position which is suitable for small hands on best suited.

In this embodiment, the fixation of the second pole-grip element 10 on the first pole-grip element 11 is not effected by an axial screw, but by somewhat radial screws 29. Otherwise, here also has the second pole-grip element via guide ribs 21, which in the axial guide grooves 20th engage the first floor handle element and thus axially guide the second pole-grip element 10.

In order to ensure a somewhat continuous, ie continuous axial adjustability, an axial guide recess 31 is provided in this construction in the first floor handle element. This guide recess is a guide groove which is laterally undercut on both sides and into which square counter nuts 31 are inserted from below. These locknuts 30 are correspondingly displaceable in this guide recess 31 in the axial direction, but can not rotate. In addition, the opening with the internal thread from the front through the slot of the guide recess is accessible.

The second pole-grip element 10 now has two bores which are arranged offset axially. Through these holes two screws 29 are passed, and the screws engage in the internal thread in the locknuts 30 a. Easy release of these screws 29 with a tool now allows the second pole-grip element 10 to be displaced axially relative to the first pole-grip element 11.

Since it is often necessary in such a construction to ensure the axial displaceability as possible without excessive fixing of the screws 29, it may prove advantageous on the first pole-grip element, for example on the outer edge (also inside possible), and corresponding thereto on second pole-grip element, also on the outer edge, against mutually facing edges / surfaces each have a toothing 33, respectively 34, to provide. As a result, even if the screws 29 are not fully tightened, no axial displacement of the element 10 relative to the element 11 can occur. This is in view of the large axial forces when repelling tremendous advantage. Only when the screw is released over the lifting height of the toothing, can be done at all an axial displacement and it is still a nearly stepless adjustment possible.

In Fig. 5 another embodiment is shown, which is similar to that which in Fig. 4 is shown. However, there is no stepless, ie continuous axial adjustability, but only an adjustability in discrete positions. For this purpose, two or more pairs of individual lock nuts 35 are inserted in the first floor handle element 11, in which fixing screws 29 engage. As can be seen from the illustration of the lower position according to Fig. 5b ) can be detected, here engage the screws at the lower position in the two lower holes 35, while the upper pair of holes then remains unused. If the second element 10 from the lower position according to Fig. 5b ) in the uppermost position according to Fig. 5c ), so the screws 29 must be completely unscrewed from the lock nuts 35, the second pole-grip element to be moved up and the two fixing screws in the top two individual locknuts be screwed. In this case, only two discrete positions are shown, but of course it would also be possible to provide three or even four such discrete positions by corresponding individual counter nuts or holes with internal thread in the first floor handle element 10. Again, it is beneficial, although not required to the same extent, a toothing, as related to Fig. 4 described.

In the two embodiments according to the FIGS. 4 and 5 It is particularly easy to make the second pole-grip element 10 also interchangeable. Thus, it is possible to provide this rear shell 10 of different materials (for example different hardness), with different colors (marking of different materials and / or different shapes) and / or with different shapes, resulting in a further increase in adaptability , It is then possible, either at the same time give several such shells 10 when buying, or buy different shells 10 optional.

Another embodiment is in FIG. 6 shown. In this case, the axial adjustment of the second pole-grip element 10 takes place via a transverse pin 40 FIG. 6a ) According to a first embodiment of this construction, the second pole-grip element 10 has an axial groove 37, adjacent to the laterally arranged guide rib 21. Accordingly, the first pole-grip element 11 has an axial comb 36, which engages in the axial groove 37. In FIG. 6a ) groove and comb are not further structured, but it is also possible to design, for example, the groove and the comb undercut.

The second pole-grip element 10 now has a transverse bore 39. It is also possible to provide axially offset two such bores 39. Similarly, the comb 36 has holes 38. The comb 36 has a Mehnahl (at least two) of such holes 38 at different axial height. The holes 38 can also be configured as U-shaped, open to the side of the shell 10 recesses.

Should be in such a construction, the height of the second pole-grip element 10th be changed, the transverse pin 40 is first removed (for example, with the aid of a pointed object) respectively pushed out of the holes 38/39 out. Subsequently, the second pole-grip element 10 is axially displaceable. It can now be moved up or down, and then the transverse pin 40 are inserted again, in which case it passes through the same hole 39 in the second floor handle element 10, but through another hole 38 in the comb 36. In this way is a particularly simple construction, but which is very robust, provided.

To a certain extent in an exchange is also an analogous construction as in FIG. 6b ) possible. In this case, the second pole-grip element 10 has the comb 36, and the first pole-grip element 11 has the corresponding axial groove 37. In this case, the transverse pin 40 is mounted in a bore 39 in the first pole-grip element 11.

Figures 7-9 show an alternative embodiment of an inventive adjustable pole grip with one of in FIG. 6b similar construction. The in Figure 7a-c Stock handle shown has at its rear side on a second pole grip element 10, which forms the lower half of the pole grip on the rear side and in particular includes the closure projection 13. At the head of the stick handle a coupling device 49 is arranged for a hand strap, the inner elements in FIGS. 7d . 8d and 9d are recognizable. It can be seen in FIGS. 8b and 9b that in this embodiment the second pole-grip element 10 comprises the lower closure projection 13. At the point where the closing projection 13 begins to project beyond the pole grip diameter, a bore 38, which is arranged essentially perpendicular to the pole axis and penetrates the outer wall of the second pole-grip element twice, is located on the second pole-grip element. A transverse pin 40 can be pushed through this bore 38 in order to fasten the second pole-grip element 10 at different axial positions 39 a, b, c on the first pole-grip element 11.

In the FIGS. 7e . 8e and 9e It can be seen that the first pole-grip element 11 according to this embodiment has three bores 39a, b, c, which in three axially staggered positions and as well as the bore 39 in the second pole-grip element 10 are arranged substantially tangentially substantially perpendicular to the pole axis. In FIG. 7 is the transverse pin 40 in the bottom of the three holes 39a, b, c of the first pole grip element 11, in FIG. 8 in the middle and in FIG. 9 in the uppermost bore 39a of the first pole-grip element 11. Thus, the second pole-grip element 10 is shown in FIG FIG. 9 in the top of the three possible adjustment positions, ie suitable for a smaller hand than in the FIGS. 7 and 8th , where in FIG. 8 the second pole grip element is set in a middle position and in FIG. 7 in the deepest, that is suitable for the largest hand of the user in relation to the three possible adjustment positions shown. In FIG. 7g is visible in the view of the stick handle from below, as the circumferentially broadened axial comb 36 of the second pole-grip element 10 in the axial groove 37 of the first pole-grip member 11, which is widened by two undercuts 42 in the circumferential direction, engages. The axial comb 36 of the second pole-grip element, which preferably does not extend over the entire length of the second pole-grip element 10, 10 has a length of about 2 to 6 cm, preferably about 2.5 to 5, in particular about 2.8 to 4 cm, wherein the width of the axial comb 36 is about 0.3 to 0.9, preferably about 0.5 to 0.7, more preferably about 0.6 cm. The broadening 41 on the comb 36 has a width of about 0.6 to 1.5, preferably about 0.8 to 1.2, particularly preferably about 1 cm.

Preferably, as in the bottom view of FIG. 7g 2, the second pole-grip element 10 is concave toward the first pole-grip element 11 on its side facing the first pole-grip element 11, wherein part of the circumference of the first pole-grip element 11 is preferably encompassed by the second pole-grip element 10. In this case, the axial comb 36 of the second pole-grip element 10 points towards the first pole-grip element 11, and engages with its widening 41 into the axial groove 37 of the first pole-grip element 10. The introduction of the comb 36 or its widening 41 advantageously takes place from the lower side of the pole grip 2, where the axial groove 37 is preferably designed to be open at the bottom.

In the presentation of FIG. 7g the axial comb 36 is formed with its widening 41 substantially with a T-shaped cross-section. In this case, the crossbar of the letter T engages in the substantially likewise T-shaped axial groove 37 of the first pole grip element 11 a. The T-shape of the first pole-grip element 11 or the cross-bar of the letter T results from the two lateral axial undercuts of the groove 37 in the first pole-grip element 11. The preferably T-shaped comb 36 is furthermore advantageously provided by two wings 43 visible from above , 44 of the second pole-grip element 10 flanking or embracing or encompassing, which engage around the region in which the second pole-grip element 10 engages in the first pole-grip element 11. The two wings 43, 44 extend over the entire axial length of the second pole-grip element 10. These two wings 43, 44, each disposed on one side of the axial comb 36, provide in the circumferential direction of the pole handle 2 a continuous transitional area from the second pole-grip element 10 to the first pole-grip element 11, thereby providing one for the user's hand uncomfortable grading is avoided. That side of the second pole-grip element 10 which faces towards the front, ie faces the first pole-grip element 11, is therefore concave and preferably has the same curvature as the rearwardly directed outer surface of the first pole-grip element 11.

The Figures 7b and 7d . 8b and 8d , such as 9b and 9d also show an embodiment of the coupling device 49. As shown, the coupling device 49 can provide a latching mechanism for a coupling element of a wrist strap, for example by a locking lug. In the interior of the handle head, a triggering means and various suspensions can then additionally be arranged. The EP 1 036 579 , the US 7,226,084 , the EP 1 282 461 and the EP 0 925 099 disclose examples of possible coupling mechanisms applicable in the context of this invention, but other coupling mechanisms are also conceivable. In particular, with respect to the clutch mechanism on the WO 2006/066424 whose subject matter, in particular the disclosure of FIGS. 6 and 7 and the corresponding text of the specification and claims, is explicitly included in the disclosure of the present specification.

In FIG. 10 is a tool 45 for removing the cross pin 40 from the pole handle 2 before the adjustment of the second pole-grip element 10, and shown for reintroducing the cross pin 40 in the pole grip 2 after the adjustment process. The tool 45 has at least one pin 48 which is suitable for pushing the transverse pin 40 out of the bore 38, 39 a, b, c in the pole grip 2. Preferably, the pin 48 has a diameter D3 which is substantially the same size as the transverse pin 40. To release the second pole-grip element 10 from the first pole-grip element 11, or to adjust the size or length of the pole grip 2, First, the transverse pin 40 must be removed from the bore 38, 39 a, b, c or pushed out. For this purpose, the pin 48 is coaxial with the transverse pin 40, which at the time before the adjustment is still in the bore 38, 39 a, b, c, placed. Then, force is applied in the axial direction of the cross pin 40, ie, substantially perpendicular to the pole axis, to push the cross pin 40 out of the bore 38, 39a, b, c. The length of the pin 48 substantially corresponds to the length L of the transverse pin 40, but the pin 48 must be at least as long that the transverse pin 40 so far out of the bore 38, 39 a, b, c also can be pushed out that the outstanding Length share with the user's fingers is tangible, so that the cross pin 40 can be removed.

In addition, as in FIG. 10 illustrated, the tool 45 at least a first blind hole 46 and a second blind hole 47, each of which is suitable for receiving one end of the transverse pin 40, wherein the first blind hole 46 has a greater depth T1 than the second blind hole 47. The depth T1 of the first Blind hole 46 is about 0.3-1.2 cm, preferably about 0.5-0.9 cm, more preferably about 0.6-0.8 cm. The depth T2 of the second blind hole 47 corresponds to only a small portion of the length L of the transverse pin 40, and is preferably about 0.05-0.2 cm, more preferably about 0.05-0.1 cm, but at most one fifth of the length L of the transverse pin 40th Die Both blind holes 46, 47 have a diameter D2, which is larger, but in particular only slightly larger than the diameter D1 of the transverse pin 40. The two blind holes 46, 47 are there to the user, the piercing of the transverse pin 40 in the bore 38, 39a , b, c through the second pole-grip element 10 and the first pole-grip element 11. After the axial adjustment of the second pole-grip element 10 on the first pole-grip element 11, the transverse pin 40 is inserted in a horizontal position, ie transversely to the pole axis, first into the deeper first pocket hole 46 and inserted through the desired bore 39 into the pole grip 2. The tool 45 is used to push the pin into the bore. With the help of the first blind hole 46, a piercing of a first portion of the length L of the cross pin 40 is made possible, for example, about half, preferably one fifth to one third of the length L of the cross pin 40 is located in the pole grip. The remaining length portion of the transverse pin 40 can then be pushed completely into the pole grip with the aid of the second blind hole 47 of the tool 45, so that the tangential bore is essentially filled by the transverse pin 40 in a horizontal position. However, it is possible that the length portion of the cross pin 40 still remains outside the bore 38, 39 a, b, c, which was mounted in the second blind hole 47 and which corresponds to the depth of the second blind hole 47. This remaining portion can then be pierced by means of a flat surface of the tool 45. This in FIG. 10 shown tool is formed substantially T-shaped, wherein the two "arms" of the crossbar each have a blind hole 46, 47 and the pin 48 is disposed on the "foot" of the letter T. But there are also other arrangement variants conceivable. The blind holes 46 ,. For example, the pin 48 and the pin 48 could also be arranged in a line, or along a circular shape on the tool 45, or the tool 45 could have three arms suitable for receiving the blind holes 46, 47 and pin 48 and pointing in different directions. The tool can be configured in various colors and / or shapes, for example in the form of an aircraft, wherein the two wings of the aircraft each have a blind hole 46, 47 and the pin 48 is arranged on the head or tail of the aircraft.
