- the present invention relates to a stick plate with the features of claim 1, respectively a stick, in particular a ski pole for the touring area, with such a stick plate.
- the stick plate has a flat plate area.
- a stick plate for a ski pole, cross country ski pole, trekking pole, Nordic walking stick or hiking stick, especially for a ski pole for the touring area, the stick plate has a flat plate area.
- such a stick plate is designed to be improved in that the plate region is designed to be foldable at least partially in the direction of a pole tip into a folded state, and in the opposite direction to a stop in which the plate region forms a flat or only slightly curved plane , Can be opened, and by the stick plate by a force acting on an upper side (ie the tip side) of the plate area force is transferred to the folded state, and when releasing this force automatically in the open state or at least in the half-open state returns. In the latter case, the plate opens again when hitting the snow layer again by the back pressure of the edition.
- the stick plate is designed so that when it penetrates deep into the snow, when pulling through the snow mass lying above or one above lying ice layer (Harsch) is folded down to some extent down (so it is enough already a comparatively small force to fold the stick plate together), whereby the cross-section is reduced. Accordingly, the stick or the stick plate now no longer with its full cross-section of the snow or through an ice layer must be pulled through, but now has a much smaller cross-section and cuts to some extent essentially free of resistance and thus in a pleasant way for the user by itself through the overlying material layers.
- the stick plate unfolds automatically due to the provided in the stock plate restoring force back to the open or half-open state (or a state in between), returns to its original optimal cross-section, and thereby relies on the next touchdown on the Snow layer with the optimal effectiveness.
- a first preferred embodiment of such a stick plate is characterized in that the plate region has at least two, preferably exactly two, plate plates which can be folded in the direction of the tip of the stick (that is to say downwards).
- the plate region has at least two, preferably exactly two, plate plates which can be folded in the direction of the tip of the stick (that is to say downwards).
- the plate region has at least two, preferably exactly two, plate plates which can be folded in the direction of the tip of the stick (that is to say downwards).
- the plate region has at least two, preferably exactly two, plate plates which can be folded in the direction of the tip of the stick (that is to say downwards).
- exactly two such plate wings are arranged and these are hinged to a common or two substantially parallel or at an acute angle arranged hinges to the pole tip, so to speak forms a cutting edge, which can be optimally pulled up from the snow layers.
- the plate region has a fastening plate that can be connected essentially rigidly to a pole tube, on the underside of which or alternatively at the edge thereof the plate wings are articulated.
- the mounting plate covers the plate wings in the hinge area on the upper side at least partially, preferably completely with a covering area.
- this cover may be an elastic film which at least partially spans the top of the plate.
- the cover which can also be provided as a molded part, be fastened by fastening elements such as rivets or the like on the top of the plate. It is also possible to use a mold-integrated clamping, snap-fastening or otherwise composite or a combination of means for fixing this cover. This attachment can also be made detachable, so that a replacement of any damaged cover is easily possible.
- the cover should allow the intended folding of the stock plate by granting the corresponding freedom of movement, which can be achieved for example by an elastic and / or accordion-like and / or a similarly shaped expansion fold in the coverage area around the movement joint or the hinge area. It is important to ensure that the restoring force is kept to a minimum, so that the sunken stock plate folds when pulled out as intended. In principle, it is also important to pay attention to the use of materials which retain their properties even at low temperatures (ie about -30 ° C). Thus, for example, an elastic film is to be used whose embrittlement point is below the prevailing at the intended use of the stock plate temperatures.
- the movement gap opens down, in which case when pressing the stick plate on the snow or ice material passes from below into the movement joint or the hinge area and then possibly the hinge movement, as explained above, bothers.
- the skilled person then results from the technical solutions described above, as they are to be applied in such a case.
- the cover hermetically seals at least the region of the expansion joints at least upwards (and / or downwards), ie at least in the direction from which material can penetrate.
- this cover in addition to the protective effect for the movement joints of the hinge before penetrating material, the said restoring force for the folding back down flap plate provided at least partially.
- An elastic cover for example, which covers at least the area around the movement joint or the hinge area and is stretched during the folding of the stick plate by the rising of the movement joint, the energy absorbed by the elastic deformation, for example, at least partial recovery of the plate wings after the elimination of Release the fold causing the pressure.
- means for evacuating the movement joints for example in the form of correspondingly designed edge geometries, which clear the compressed snow when resetting the panel wings to the outside, can be provided.
- the aforementioned overlap area simultaneously serves as an upper stop for the opened state.
- two plate wings are fastened on the underside of the fastening plate facing the tip of the pole by the plate wings being fastened on their underside with a hinge.
- normal hinge can be used, i. one in which separate parts are connected via a hinge axis element (hinge rod).
- a leaf spring or another elastic element is preferably provided in this case. It is also conceivable that the aforementioned cover is attached, which then provides the restoring force as explained above.
- a film hinge if necessary with appropriate cover. can be used, such can then, in a suitable embodiment, equal to ensure the elastic return.
- the plate wings can therefore be fastened with a film hinge to such a mounting plate.
- This film hinge can be made of a full elastic plastic material and / or a plastic strip material (braided, woven) and / or of a fiber-reinforced plastic material resp. consist of fiber reinforced rubber elastic material, or include such.
- the material which on the one hand survives many cycles of motion, which remains sufficiently flexible over the life and still provides sufficient restoring force (preferably, the film hinge acts both as a hinge and by its elastic inherent stiffness as a restoring element), and which is able to maintain these properties, especially at low temperatures (typically up to temperatures of -30 ° C).
- Possible Materials are, for example, thermoplastics.
- two hinges for two plate wings are realized via a plastic layer attached to the underside (or a corresponding strip material), which extends over both hinge regions.

- the two plate wings 11 can in other words from the in FIG. 1 not shown up position, ie opposite to the direction of the pole top, to be moved upwards, but they can, if you press from the top of the top, are folded down against a restoring force. They then move wing-like down, in FIG. 2 is a half folded down state of the two plate wings 11 shown.
- FIG. 2 is a half folded down state of the two plate wings 11 shown.
- the wedge-shaped arrangement of the plate leaf 11 and the wedge-shaped rib region 10 arranged on the upper side to some extent forms a cutting edge already in this half-folded state.
- the fully collapsed state is in FIG. 3 shown.
- the wings 11 are folded down so far that they even come into abutment with the tip extension region 5. This reduces the cross-section of the stick plate to a minimum, as in particular FIG. 3g ) can be detected.
- the power of the snow is big enough, such a folded stick plate can effortlessly too can be pulled out of hard snow with an optionally existing layer of ice over it largely without problems, without being hooked.
- the covering area 17 even in the folded state, it is largely ensured that no snow or ice can penetrate into the slot 18 of the film hinge, which to some extent opens up to a certain extent. This ensures that the hinge is not blocked by penetrating ice or penetrating snow.
- a further flexible protective layer can be provided over the hinge area 18 if this effect is to be further reduced.
- the stick plate From the folded state 3, in which the stick plate only remains when the plate wings 11 are actively pressed together, the stick plate automatically jumps back into the open position as in FIG. 2 due to the restoring force of the film hinge FIG. 1 shown when it is released, or when the snow load on it is no longer present. Thus, the stick plate automatically returns to the re-insertion of the stick in the snow suitable state with the large cross-section, respectively. the large support cross-section, as in Fig. 1 shown.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Stockteller für einen Skistock, Langlaufstock, Trekkingstock, Nordic Walking-Stock oder Wanderstock, insbesondere für einen Skistock für den Tourenbereich.The present invention relates to a stick plate for a ski pole, cross-country ski pole, trekking pole, Nordic walking pole or hiking pole, especially for a ski pole for touring.
Insbesondere bei Skitouren ist es für den Aufstieg aber auch für die Abfahrt wichtig, Skistöcke zur Verfügung zu haben, die möglichst robust und zuverlässig ausgestaltet sind. Solche Stöcke können dabei teleskopierbar sein, und sie verfügen üblicherweise am oberen Ende über einen Griff und am unteren Ende über einen Stockteller.Especially with ski tours, it is important for the ascent but also for the downhill to have ski poles available that are as robust and reliable designed. Such sticks can be telescopic, and they usually have at the top of a handle and at the bottom of a stick plate.
Der Stockteller ist dabei mit einer möglichst grossen Tellerfläche ausgestattet, damit insbesondere beim Spuren in z. B. weichem Schnee durch die grosse Abstützfläche mit dem grossen Wirkungsquerschnitt eine gute Abstützung beim Einstecken des Stockes möglich ist. Je nach Bedingungen wäre es an sich wünschenswert, unterschiedliche Tellergrössen zur Verfügung zu haben, in praktischer Hinsicht erweist sich dies aber häufig als kaum sinnvoll realisierbar, da gerade bei Skitouren auf möglichst geringes Gewicht geachtet werden muss, und es entsprechend nicht gewünscht ist, Material für unterschiedliche Bedingungen mitführen zu müssen.The stick plate is equipped with the largest possible plate surface, so especially when traces in z. B. soft snow through the large support surface with the large cross-section good support when inserting the stick is possible. Depending on the conditions, it would be desirable to have different sizes of plates available, but in practical terms, this often proves to be hardly feasible, especially since care must be taken in ski touring as low as possible, and it is not desirable material for to have to carry different conditions.
Es muss also ein Kompromiss aus einem möglichst grossen Teller mit andererseits genügend guter Handhabbarkeit gefunden werden. Problematisch bei grossen Tellern ist nämlich insbesondere, dass sie sich gerade dann, wenn auf der Oberfläche durch die Umwandlung des Schnees eine Schicht von Eis oder verhärtetem Schnee ausgebildet ist, sich sowohl beim Aufstieg wie aber auch bei der Abfahrt beim Versuch, den Stock wieder aus dem Schnee heraus zu ziehen, in dieser so genannten Harschschicht verfangen können. Das Problem erschwert sich dadurch, dass der Stock üblicherweise in einer vertikalen oder sogar nach vorne gerichteten Position eingesteckt wird, anschliessend eine Vorwärtsbewegung des Aufsteigenden resp. des Abfahrenden erfolgt, und dann der Stock, nachdem sich gewissermassen das Stockrohr in einem Schlitz nach vorne bewegt hat, wieder herausgezogen werden soll. Damit wird der Stock in einem Bereich herausgezogen, der nicht bereits vom Teller durchstochen wurde, und es muss entsprechend auch beim Herausziehen die ganze darüberliegende Schneeschicht und eben auch beispielsweise eine gegebenenfalls vorhandene harte Schneeschicht resp. Eisschicht durchpflügt werden. Dies ist beim Aufstieg unangenehm und kann bei der Abfahrt zu Gleichgewichtsproblemen führen, die insbesondere in schwierigem Gelände sogar lebensgefährlich für den Tourenskiläufer sein können.So it must be a compromise from the largest possible plate on the other hand sufficiently good manageability can be found. In particular, it is problematic with large plates that, especially when a layer of ice or hardened snow is formed on the surface as a result of the transformation of the snow, the stick breaks out again during the ascent as well as during the descent to be able to pull out of the snow, get caught in this so-called hammock layer. The problem is complicated by the fact that the stick is usually inserted in a vertical or even forward position, then a Forward movement of the ascending resp. the departing takes place, and then the stick, after, as it were, the stick tube has moved forward in a slot to be pulled out again. Thus, the stick is pulled out in an area that has not already been pierced by the plate, and it must accordingly also when pulling out the whole overlying snow layer and also, for example, an optionally existing hard snow layer resp. Ice layer to be plowed through. This is uncomfortable during the ascent and can lead to balance problems on the descent, which can even be life-threatening for the touring skier, especially on difficult terrain.
Es ist entsprechend eine der Aufgaben der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen verbesserten Stockteller insbesondere für die Verwendung insbesondere in im wesentlichen unverpresstem Schnee oder im Harschschnee zur Verfügung zu stellen, der die oben genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden oder wenigstens abzuschwächen in der Lage ist.It is accordingly one of the objects of the present invention to provide an improved stock plate, in particular for use in particular in substantially unpressed snow or harsch snow, which is capable of avoiding or at least mitigating the abovementioned disadvantages.
Entsprechend betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung einen Stockteller mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1, respektive einen Stock, insbesondere einen Skistock für den Tourenbereich, mit einem solchen Stockteller.Accordingly, the present invention relates to a stick plate with the features of
Konkret geht es um die Verbesserung eines Stocktellers für einen Skistock, Langlaufstock, Trekkingstock, Nordic Walkingstock oder Wanderstock, insbesondere für einen Skistock für den Tourenbereich, wobei der Stockteller einen flächigen Tellerbereich aufweist. Ein solcher Stockteller wird insbesondere nach der Erfindung dadurch verbessert ausgestaltet, indem der Tellerbereich wenigstens bereichsweise in Richtung zu einer Stockspitze in einen gefalteten Zustand faltbar ausgestaltet ist, und in Gegenrichtung bis zu einem Anschlag, bei welchem der Tellerbereich eine flache oder nur unwesentlich gekrümmte Ebene bildet, geöffnet werden kann, und indem der Stockteller durch eine auf eine Oberseite (d.h. der der Spitze abgewandten Seite) des Tellerbereichs wirkende Kraft in den gefalteten Zustand übergeführt wird, wobei er beim Lösen dieser Kraft selbsttätig in den geöffneten Zustand oder wenigstens in den halbgeöffneten Zustand zurückkehrt. In letzterem Fall öffnet sich der Teller beim erneuten Auftreffen auf die Schneeschicht wieder vollständig durch den Gegendruck der Auflage.Specifically, it is about the improvement of a stick plate for a ski pole, cross country ski pole, trekking pole, Nordic walking stick or hiking stick, especially for a ski pole for the touring area, the stick plate has a flat plate area. In particular according to the invention, such a stick plate is designed to be improved in that the plate region is designed to be foldable at least partially in the direction of a pole tip into a folded state, and in the opposite direction to a stop in which the plate region forms a flat or only slightly curved plane , Can be opened, and by the stick plate by a force acting on an upper side (ie the tip side) of the plate area force is transferred to the folded state, and when releasing this force automatically in the open state or at least in the half-open state returns. In the latter case, the plate opens again when hitting the snow layer again by the back pressure of the edition.
Mit anderen Worten ist der Stockteller so ausgestaltet, dass er, wenn er tief in den Schnee eindringt, beim Herausziehen durch die darüber liegende Schneemasse oder eine darüber liegende Eisschicht (Harsch) gewissermassen nach unten zusammen gefaltet wird (es genügt also schon eine vergleichsweise geringe Kraft, um den Stockteller zusammen zu falten), wodurch sich der Wirkungsquerschnitt verringert. Entsprechend muss nun der Stock respektive der Stockteller nicht mehr mit seinem vollen Wirkungsquerschnitt aus dem Schnee respektive durch eine Eisschicht hindurch gezogen werden, sondern verfügt nun über einen wesentlich kleineren Wirkungsquerschnitt und schneidet sich gewissermassen im Wesentlichen widerstandsfrei und damit in angenehmer Weise für den Benutzer von selbst durch die darüberliegenden Materialschichten. Einmal auf der Oberseite der Schneeschicht angekommen, entfaltet sich der Stockteller aufgrund der im Stockteller vorgesehenen Rückstellkraft automatisch wieder in den geöffneten oder halbgeöffneten Zustand (oder einen Zustand dazwischen), nimmt wieder seinen ursprünglichen optimalen Wirkungsquerschnitt ein, und stützt sich dadurch beim nächsten aufsetzen auf die Schneeschicht mit der optimalen Wirksamkeit auf.In other words, the stick plate is designed so that when it penetrates deep into the snow, when pulling through the snow mass lying above or one above lying ice layer (Harsch) is folded down to some extent down (so it is enough already a comparatively small force to fold the stick plate together), whereby the cross-section is reduced. Accordingly, the stick or the stick plate now no longer with its full cross-section of the snow or through an ice layer must be pulled through, but now has a much smaller cross-section and cuts to some extent essentially free of resistance and thus in a pleasant way for the user by itself through the overlying material layers. Once arrived on the top of the snow layer, the stick plate unfolds automatically due to the provided in the stock plate restoring force back to the open or half-open state (or a state in between), returns to its original optimal cross-section, and thereby relies on the next touchdown on the Snow layer with the optimal effectiveness.
Eine erste bevorzugte Ausführungsform eines solchen Stocktellers ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Tellerbereich wenigstens zwei, vorzugsweise genau zwei, in Richtung zur Stockspitze (d.h. nach unten) faltbare Tellerflügel aufweist. Insbesondere wenn genau zwei solche Tellerflügel angeordnet sind und diese, um ein gemeinsames oder zwei im wesentlichen parallel oder unter einem spitzen Winkel angeordnete Scharniere zur Stockspitze klappbar gelagert sind, bildet sich gewissermassen eine Schneide, welche sich optimal nach oben aus den Schneeschichten herausziehen lässt.A first preferred embodiment of such a stick plate is characterized in that the plate region has at least two, preferably exactly two, plate plates which can be folded in the direction of the tip of the stick (that is to say downwards). In particular, if exactly two such plate wings are arranged and these are hinged to a common or two substantially parallel or at an acute angle arranged hinges to the pole tip, so to speak forms a cutting edge, which can be optimally pulled up from the snow layers.
Dabei weist der Tellerbereich erfindungsgemäss eine im Wesentlichen starr mit einem Stockrohr verbindbare Befestigungsplatte auf, an deren Unterseite oder alternativ an deren Rand die Tellerflügel angelenkt sind. Dabei überdeckt die Befestigungsplatte die Tellerflügel im Scharnierbereich oberseitig wenigstens teilweise, vorzugsweise vollständig mit einem Überdeckungsbereich. So wird sichergestellt, dass der Schnee (respektive das Eis oder etwa durch sich ansammelnden und sich dann aufgrund mindestens einer Scharnierbewegung komprimierenden und dadurch allfällig auch vereisenden Schnee), der von oben beim Herausziehen auf den Stockteller drückt, nicht in den Scharnierbereich, also nicht in die Bewegungsfugen, also den bei nach unten geklappten Tellerflügeln freigegebenen Fugenbereich des Scharniers, eindringen kann und damit das Scharnier blockieren kann, und die Rückfaltung der Tellerflügel durch die erwähnte Rückstellkraft in die für Teller-unterseitigen Druck optimale, zumindest teilweise geöffnete Tellerposition stört oder gar
verhindert. Alternativ (oder auch zusätzlich) ist es möglich, insbesondere wenn die Tellerflügel seitlich an einer solchen Befestigungsplatte befestigt sind, zum Schutz des Scharniers oberseitig eine Abdeckung wie etwa eine bewegliche Lasche oder ein bewegliches Band, welches zumindest das Scharnier überdeckt, vorzusehen. So kann diese Abdeckung beispielsweise eine elastische Folie sein, welche die Telleroberseite zumindest teilweise überspannt. Dabei kann die Abdeckung, welche auch als Formteil bereitgestellt sein kann, durch Befestigungselemente wie Nieten oder ähnliches an der Telleroberseite befestigt sein. Es ist weiter möglich, eine formintegrierte Klemmung, eine Verschnappung oder aber einen anderweitigen Verbund oder eine Kombination von Mittel zur Befestigung dieser Abdeckung zu verwenden. Diese Befestigung kann auch lösbar ausgestaltet sein, sodass eine Auswechslung einer allfällig beschädigten Abdeckung leicht möglich ist.In this case, according to the invention, the plate region has a fastening plate that can be connected essentially rigidly to a pole tube, on the underside of which or alternatively at the edge thereof the plate wings are articulated. In this case, the mounting plate covers the plate wings in the hinge area on the upper side at least partially, preferably completely with a covering area. This ensures that the snow (or the ice or about accumulating and then due to at least one hinge movement compressing and thus eventually icing snow), which pushes from above when pulling out on the stick plate, not in the hinge area, not in the movement joints, so the released when folded down the leaf panels joint area of the hinge, can penetrate and thus block the hinge, and the refolding of the plate wings by the mentioned restoring force in the plate-underside pressure optimal, at least partially open plate position disturbs or even
prevented. Alternatively (or additionally), it is possible, especially if the plate wings are laterally attached to such a mounting plate, to protect the hinge on top of a cover such as a movable tab or a movable band which covers at least the hinge to provide. For example, this cover may be an elastic film which at least partially spans the top of the plate. In this case, the cover, which can also be provided as a molded part, be fastened by fastening elements such as rivets or the like on the top of the plate. It is also possible to use a mold-integrated clamping, snap-fastening or otherwise composite or a combination of means for fixing this cover. This attachment can also be made detachable, so that a replacement of any damaged cover is easily possible.
Hierbei soll die Abdeckung die bestimmungsgemässe Zusammenfaltung des Stocktellers jedoch durch Gewährung der entsprechenden Bewegungsfreiheit ermöglichen, was beispielsweise durch eine elastische und/oder ziehharmonikaähnliche und/oder eine ähnlich gestaltete Dehnfalte im Abdeckungsbereich um die Bewegungsfuge oder den Scharnierbereich erreicht werden kann. Es ist darauf zu achten, dass die Rückstellkraft hierbei auf einem Minimum gehalten wird, damit sich der eingesunkene Stockteller beim Herausziehen auch bestimmungsgemäss zusammenfaltet. Grundsätzlich ist zudem auf den Einsatz von Materialen zu achten, welche ihre Eigenschaften auch bei tiefen Temperaturen (also etwa -30°C) beibehalten. So soll beispielsweise eine elastische Folie verwendet werden, deren Versprödungspunkt unterhalb der bei der bestimmungsgemässen Benutzung des Stocktellers herrschenden Temperaturen liegt.In this case, however, the cover should allow the intended folding of the stock plate by granting the corresponding freedom of movement, which can be achieved for example by an elastic and / or accordion-like and / or a similarly shaped expansion fold in the coverage area around the movement joint or the hinge area. It is important to ensure that the restoring force is kept to a minimum, so that the sunken stock plate folds when pulled out as intended. In principle, it is also important to pay attention to the use of materials which retain their properties even at low temperatures (ie about -30 ° C). Thus, for example, an elastic film is to be used whose embrittlement point is below the prevailing at the intended use of the stock plate temperatures.
Hierbei kann es auch sein, dass sich die Bewegungsfuge nach unten öffnet, wobei dann bei der Einpressung des Stocktellers auf den Schnee oder das Eis Material von unten in die Bewegungsfuge oder den Scharnierbereich gelangt und die Scharnierbewegung dann möglicherweise, wie oben erläutert, stört. Dem Fachmann ergibt sich dann aus den oben beschriebenen technischen Lösungen, wie diese in einem solchen Falle anzuwenden sind.In this case, it may also be that the movement gap opens down, in which case when pressing the stick plate on the snow or ice material passes from below into the movement joint or the hinge area and then possibly the hinge movement, as explained above, bothers. The skilled person then results from the technical solutions described above, as they are to be applied in such a case.
Auch kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Abdeckung zumindest den Bereich der Bewegungsfugen wenigstens nach oben (und/oder nach unten), also zumindest in der Richtung aus welcher Material eindringen kann, hermetisch abdichtet.It may also be advantageous if the cover hermetically seals at least the region of the expansion joints at least upwards (and / or downwards), ie at least in the direction from which material can penetrate.
Es ist zudem denkbar, dass diese Abdeckung, neben der Schutzwirkung für die Bewegungsfugen des Scharniers vor eindringendem Material, die besagte Rückstellkraft für die Rückfaltung nach unten geklappter Tellerflügel zumindest teilweise bereitstellt. Eine elastische Abdeckung etwa, welche zumindest den Bereich um die Bewegungsfuge bzw. den Scharnierbereich abdeckt und bei der Faltung des Stocktellers durch das Aufgehen der Bewegungsfuge gedehnt wird, kann die durch die elastische Verformung aufgenommene Energie beispielsweise zur zumindest teilweisen Rückstellung der Tellerflügel nach dem Wegfall des die Faltung verursachenden Druckes wieder freigeben.It is also conceivable that this cover, in addition to the protective effect for the movement joints of the hinge before penetrating material, the said restoring force for the folding back down flap plate provided at least partially. An elastic cover, for example, which covers at least the area around the movement joint or the hinge area and is stretched during the folding of the stick plate by the rising of the movement joint, the energy absorbed by the elastic deformation, for example, at least partial recovery of the plate wings after the elimination of Release the fold causing the pressure.
Überdies können auch Mittel zur Räumung der Bewegungsfugen, beispielsweise in Form von entsprechend ausgestalteten Kantengeometrien, welche den komprimierten Schnee beim Rückstellen der Tellerflügel nach außen räumen, vorgesehen sein.Moreover, means for evacuating the movement joints, for example in the form of correspondingly designed edge geometries, which clear the compressed snow when resetting the panel wings to the outside, can be provided.
Bevorzugtermassen dient der vorgenannte Überdeckungsbereich gleichzeitig als oberer Anschlag für den geöffneten Zustand.Preferably, the aforementioned overlap area simultaneously serves as an upper stop for the opened state.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind zwei Tellerflügel auf der der Stockspitze zugewandten Unterseite der Befestigungsplatte befestigt, indem die Tellerflügel auf deren Unterseite mit einem Scharnier befestigt sind.According to a further preferred embodiment, two plate wings are fastened on the underside of the fastening plate facing the tip of the pole by the plate wings being fastened on their underside with a hinge.
Dabei kann normales Scharnier Anwendung finden, d.h. eines, bei welchem separate Teile über ein Scharnierachsenelement (Scharnierstange) verbunden sind. Um gleichzeitig die Rückstellkraft für die Rückführung in den geöffneten oder halbgeöffneten Zustand sicherzustellen, ist in diesem Fall vorzugsweise eine Blattfeder oder ein anderes elastisches Element vorgesehen. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die vorgenannte Abdeckung angebracht wird, welche dann die Rückstellkraft wie oben erläutert bereitstellt.In this case, normal hinge can be used, i. one in which separate parts are connected via a hinge axis element (hinge rod). In order to simultaneously ensure the return force for the return to the open or half-opened state, a leaf spring or another elastic element is preferably provided in this case. It is also conceivable that the aforementioned cover is attached, which then provides the restoring force as explained above.
Alternativ kann ein Filmscharnier, allenfalls mit entsprechender Abdeckung. eingesetzt werden, ein solches kann dann, bei geeigneter Ausgestaltung, gleich auch die elastische Rückstellung gewährleisten.Alternatively, a film hinge, if necessary with appropriate cover. can be used, such can then, in a suitable embodiment, equal to ensure the elastic return.
Die Tellerflügel können also mit einem Filmscharnier an einer solchen Befestigungsplatte befestigt sein. Dieses Filmscharnier kann dabei aus einem vollen elastischen Kunststoffmaterial und/oder einem Kunststoff-Bandmaterial (geflochten, gewoben) und/oder aus einem faserverstärktem Kunststoffmaterial resp. faserverstärktem gummielastischem Material bestehen, oder ein solches umfassen. Dabei ist als Material bevorzugt ein solches zu wählen, welches einerseits viele Bewegungszyklen übersteht, welches auch über die Lebensdauer genügend flexibel bleibt und dennoch auch eine genügende Rückstellkraft bereitstellt (vorzugsweise wirkt das Filmscharnier sowohl als Scharnier als auch durch seine elastische Eigensteifigkeit als Rückstellelement), und welches insbesondere auch bei niedrigen Temperaturen (typischerweise bis zu Temperaturen von -30°C) diese Eigenschaften aufrechtzuerhalten in der Lage ist. Mögliche Materialien sind beispielsweise thermoplastische Kunststoffe.The plate wings can therefore be fastened with a film hinge to such a mounting plate. This film hinge can be made of a full elastic plastic material and / or a plastic strip material (braided, woven) and / or of a fiber-reinforced plastic material resp. consist of fiber reinforced rubber elastic material, or include such. In this case, it is preferable to choose as the material, which on the one hand survives many cycles of motion, which remains sufficiently flexible over the life and still provides sufficient restoring force (preferably, the film hinge acts both as a hinge and by its elastic inherent stiffness as a restoring element), and which is able to maintain these properties, especially at low temperatures (typically up to temperatures of -30 ° C). Possible Materials are, for example, thermoplastics.
Bevorzugtermassen sind dabei zwei Scharniere für zwei Tellerflügel über eine unterseitig befestigte Kunststoffschicht realisiert (oder ein entsprechendes Bandmaterial), die sich über beide Scharnierbereiche erstreckt.Preferably, two hinges for two plate wings are realized via a plastic layer attached to the underside (or a corresponding strip material), which extends over both hinge regions.
Als Abdeckung kann beispielsweise eine Folie oder Haut aus Silicon, oder einem ähnlichen, kälteelastischen, jedoch abriebresistenten Elastomermaterial über die Bewegungsfugen gelegt und an den Flügel und vorteilhafterweise an der Befestigungsplatte wie vorgenannt befestigt werden.As a cover, for example, a film or skin made of silicone, or a similar, cold-elastic, but abrasion-resistant elastomeric material placed over the movement joints and attached to the wing and advantageously to the mounting plate as mentioned above.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Befestigungsplatte eine längliche Form auf, und erstreckt sich im wesentlichen über den ganzen Durchmesser des Stocktellers, und wobei sich die lange Achse der Befestigungsplatte bevorzugt entlang einer Laufrichtung erstreckt.According to another preferred embodiment, the attachment plate has an elongated shape and extends substantially over the entire diameter of the pole plate, and wherein the long axis of the attachment plate preferably extends along a direction of travel.
Die Befestigungsplatte kann zentral befestigt sein am Stockrohr oder an einem zur Befestigung an einem Stockrohr vorgesehenen Befestigungsbereich und/oder an diesem angeformt sein, bevorzugtermassen ist sie aber im Bereich eines ihrer randseitigen Enden mit dem Stockrohr befestigt.The mounting plate may be centrally mounted on the pole or on a provided for attachment to a pole tube mounting portion and / or be formed on this, but preferably it is attached in the region of one of its peripheral ends with the pole.
Auf der der Stockspitze abgewandten Oberseite der Befestigungsplatte kann, damit sich der Stockteller noch besser aus dem Schnee respektive aus dem Eis gewissermassen heraus schneidet, wenigstens eine, sich nach oben erstreckende Rippe oder ein Kamm vorgesehen sein, welche sich vorzugsweise über wenigstens die Hälfte der Länge der Befestigungsplatte insbesondere vorzugsweise über wenigstens zwei Drittel der Länge der Befestigungsplatte und parallel zu dieser erstreckt.At the top of the mounting plate facing away from the stick top, at least one, upwardly extending rib or a comb may be provided so that the stick plate even better cuts out of the snow or from the ice, which preferably over at least half of the length In particular, the attachment plate preferably extends over at least two-thirds of the length of the attachment plate and parallel to it.
Der Tellerbereich ist bevorzugtermassen in Bezug auf die Stockachse asymmetrisch ausgebildet, insbesondere indem die Befestigung des Stockrohres in Laufrichtung nach vorne versetzt vorgesehen ist.The plate area is preferably formed asymmetrically with respect to the pole axis, in particular by the attachment of the pole tube in the direction of forward offset is provided.
Der Tellerbereich ist weiterhin bevorzugtermassen zur Stockspitze hin leicht konkav gekrümmt ausgebildet, wobei vorzugsweise die Achse der konkaven Krümmung parallel angeordnet ist zu einer Längsachse einer Befestigungsplatte (und damit parallel zur Laufrichtung), an welcher die faltbaren Elemente des Tellerbereichs angelenkt sind.The plate area is further preferably formed slightly concave towards the pole tip, wherein preferably the axis of the concave curvature is arranged parallel to a longitudinal axis of a mounting plate (and thus parallel to the running direction), on which the foldable elements of the plate area are articulated.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform des hier vorgeschlagenen Stocktellers ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Tellerbereich genau zwei, in Richtung zur Stockspitze faltbare Tellerflügel aufweist, welche um ein gemeinsames oder zwei parallel oder unter einem spitzen Winkel angeordnete Scharniere zur Stockspitze klappbar gelagert sind, wobei die Tellerflügel im gefalteten Zustand im wesentlichen parallel zueinander und an einen Stockspitzenbereich anliegend angeordnet sind.A further preferred embodiment of the floor plate proposed here is characterized in that the plate area has exactly two, in the direction of the pole tip foldable plate wings, which are hinged to a common or two parallel or arranged at an acute angle hinges to the pole top, wherein the plate wings are arranged in the folded state substantially parallel to each other and adjacent to a pole tip area.
Der Stockteller kann weiterhin dadurch gekennzeichnet sein, dass er mit einem Befestigungsbereich für das Stockrohr, und einer Spitzenverlängerung verbunden und/oder mit diesen Elementen einstückig ausgebildet ist, wobei vorzugsweise das Stockrohr in einer oberseitigen Sackloch-Ausnehmung im Befestigungsbereich befestigbar (Formschluss und/oder Kraftschluss und/oder Stoffschluss) ist.The stick plate may be further characterized in that it is connected to a mounting area for the pole tube, and a tip extension and / or integrally formed with these elements, wherein preferably the pole tube in a top blind hole recess in the mounting area fastened (positive engagement and / or adhesion and / or adhesion).

Konkret kann ein solcher Stockteller 8 realisiert werden, indem an einem Stockrohr 2 ein Spitzenaufsatz 1 vorgesehen ist. Dieser Spitzenaufsatz 1 verfügt typischerweise über einen oberen Befestigungsbereich 6 und eine unterseitige Spitzenverlängerung 5, an deren unterstem Ende eine gehärtete Spitze 7 eingelassen ist. Von oben verfügt der obere Befestigungsbereich 6 über ein Sackloch, in welchem das unterste Ende des hier konifizierten Stockrohres 2 eingelassen, typischerweise eingeklebt oder eingepresst ist. Auf dieser, üblicherweise aus Kunststoff bestehenden Spitzenkonstruktion (die gehärtete Spitze 7 ist selbstverständlich typischerweise aus einem gehärteten Metall) ist nun der eigentliche Stocktelleraufsatz 8 aufgesetzt. Damit unterschiedliche Stockteller aufgesetzt werden können, verfügt ein solcher Spitzenaufsatz typischerweise im oberen Drittel über eine aussenseitige Verzahnung 19 (vgl. insbesondere
Der Stockteller 8 umfasst nun über am Kunststoffelement 4 angeformt oder daran befestigt eine Befestigungsplatte 9, die sich, bezogen auf eine Laufrichtung 20, gewissermassen nach hinten erstreckt, diese Platte 9 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel trapezförmig ausgestaltet mit abgerundeten Ecken (vgl. Figur Id). Die Befestigungsplatte 9 verfügt über eine in Laufrichtung grössere Länge als die Breite quer zur Laufrichtung, und ist in Laufrichtung vorne breiter als in Laufrichtung hinten, da das Stockrohr resp. das Kunststoffelement 4 so nahe wie möglich am vorderen Ende vorgesehen ist.The
