Definitions
- the invention relates to a stick handle, intended in particular for Nordic ski poles, classic cross-country skiing or skating, ski mountaineering, hiking, nordic walking or Nordic walking, roller skiing, running.
- the device according to the invention consists of an ergonomic handle (1) pivoting on the end of the stick (2) by an axis (3).
- the handle (1) is formed to have one or two lateral support zones for positioning the thumb on one side (4), the middle finger and the index finger on the other side (5); a strap (6) and a rigid spoiler (10) under the palm of the hand supplements these supports in order to effectively transmit the force of the arm and the hand to the stick.
- Axis (3) is placed
- the axis (3) is placed in the axis of the stick (2) and thus transmits all the energy of the thrust force of the arm and the hand.
- a spring or elastic member (7) tends to return the handle (1) to its initial position and retains the stick when the arm returns to the front.
- a stop (8) makes it possible to adjust the inclination of the handle relative to the axis of the stick when it is in its initial rest position.
- the device according to the invention improves and optimizes the transmission of the thrust force of the arm and the hand on the stick by limiting energy losses and facilitates the work of arms in activities requiring sticks or canes.
- the thrust force of the arm on the stick is transmitted by a wrist strap attached to the hand of the user secured permanently or not to the handle of the stick.
- this role is provided by a flexible connection attached to the glove or a removable wrist strap of the handle.
- a Velcro strap provides the connection between the handle and the hand.
- the thrust of the arm and the hand on the stick is transmitted by a strap or a flexible element providing adjustment qualities, adjustment or practical advantages of installation.
- FR2366040 discloses a device consisting of a separate handle in two parts, the rear portion is articulated on the front part, itself attached to the stick.
- the purpose of the device is to improve the guidance of the stick and has no element of efficiency to improve the transmission of the thrust force of the arm on the stick.
- the placement of the joint on the top of the The handle accentuates the offset between the force of the pushing of the arm and the axis of the stick, which consequently increases the energy loss in the pushing force and generates muscle fatigue. the hand and wrist especially in the context of a sporting practice.
- US 6,460,891 B1 discloses a ski pole whose handle is connected to the baton at its lower end by a pivotal connection to reduce the wrist flexion of the user.
- US 6,644,328 B1 and WO 90/11031 A1 each disclose a ski or step stick comprising a mechanism for adjusting the inclination of the handle relative to the stick located between the lower end of the handle and the stick.
- GB 2 295 086 A discloses a walking aid stick in which the lower end of the handle is connected to the stick by a pivotal connection. A return spring tends to bring the stick forward. The use of the stick is thus facilitated.
- KR 100 991 485 B1 discloses a walking or running stick comprising a gripper-shaped handle comprising a first element integral with the stick and a second element articulated at its upper end to the first element.
- the first and second elements are grasped by the user's hand.
- An elastic return means tends to separate the first and second elements. This tends to bring the stick forward. The use of the stick is thus facilitated.
- EP 2 868 223 discloses a ski or walking stick whose handle comprises a cavity in which is housed the upper end of the stick.
- the connection between the handle and the stick allows a slight translation of the handle along the axis of the stick and a slight inclination of the handle relative to the axis of the stick. This makes it possible to absorb the shocks and the small movements in rotation of the stick.
- the device according to the invention solves the problems of the prior art by significantly improving the thrust of the arm and the hand on the stick via the handle (1) which pivoting on the end of the stick on an axis (3) allows a natural tilting of the hand by transmitting
- the device makes it possible to concentrate the effort of the arms and the hand at the axis (3) during the entire duration of the thrust phase on the stick on a regular basis.
- the device according to the invention eliminates any offset in cantilever of the thrust force of the arm by naturally aligning the wrist and the hand and transmitting directly all the thrust force in the stick by the axis (3) . All thrust energy is thus transmitted directly in the axis of the stick without loss of energy from a strap or a more or less flexible connection as is the case in the previous devices.
- the device consecutively improves the guidance of the stick and its control, especially in techniques requiring high frequencies.
- the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for Nordic skiing or an activity where the thrusting role of the upper arms and upper body is paramount, especially in the evolution of modern techniques of practice favoring power and performance. frequency of movement.
- the handle (1) may comprise ergonomic shapes with 1 or more bearing surfaces on either side of its longitudinal axis. These surfaces allow positioning of the thumb on one side (4), forefinger and middle finger on the other side (5) providing firm supports for transmitting the pushing force of the arm and the hand in the handle at the pivot axis (3). These bearing surfaces complete the device of the invention by optimizing the effect of the pivoting of the handle on the stick and remain optional and adaptable according to the morphology of the user and the techniques of practice envisaged with the stick.
- the support of the thumb can be privileged on that of the major to allow a better
- the axis (3) is judiciously placed between the thumb and middle finger, substantially at the level of the lateral bearing surfaces (4 and 5), so that the hand naturally switches on the end of the stick during the phase of thrust by providing a firm and balanced support of the "fork” represented by the thumb on one side, the index and the middle finger of the other. This support concentrates the thrust force through the axis (3) and optimizes the transmission of energy between the hand and the stick.
- the device according to the invention allows the handle (1) to pivot on the stick (2) with a deflection angle of between 90 ° and 160 ° to accompany the range of movement of the hand.
