TITLE

stick handle

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a pole grip, in particular for walking sticks, trekking poles, alpine ski poles, cross-country poles, Nordic walking poles, with a handle body and with a hand strap, the hand strap is adjustable in length.

STATE OF THE ART

Walking sticks, trekking poles, alpine skis, cross-country poles, as well as Nordic walking sticks usually have at their upper end a stick handle, which is grasped by the hand. In order to avoid accidental loss of the stick and to transfer the hand of the user to the stick, a hand strap is usually attached to this stick handle, through which the hand is passed before grasping the stick handle. Such hand straps are usually adjustable to different hand sizes and use with or without gloves by their length can be varied. There are in this respect a variety of ways to attach hand loops on the pole handle variable.

On the one hand, it is possible to fasten the strap of the hand strap with a screw in or on the pole handle, and to provide different positions for tightening. But there are also constrictions in which a fastening mechanism is provided for the loop tape, wherein at a train of the loop up the length of which can be changed, and at a train of the loop down the loop is fixed in length. Such fastening mechanisms have, inter alia, the advantage that, for example, in the event of a fall of the user and an occurring pull of the loop upwards, the wrist strap is loosened and hand injuries, such as skier thumbs, can be avoided. Such constructions are described, for example, in DE 19632718 C2, as well as in EP 1 118 362 A2, US Pat. No. 3,113,786 or DE 29906612 Ul. US 3,113,786 discloses an adjustable-length wrist strap, wherein the first end of the loop is fixed in the handle and the second end in the desired length outside the handle with a transversely aligned to the pole axis fastener can be attached, while the remaining part of the second loop end by the handle is inserted into the pole tube. EP 1 819 406 discloses such a handle with an improved hand strap usage locking mechanism. However, such a handle has the disadvantage that when the handle is made of a soft material, such as foam material or cork, the handle material can be quickly worn at the point of entry and exit of the wrist strap by abrasion caused by stress. Existing systems also have the disadvantage of insufficient stability when the handles are made of soft material.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is therefore inter alia the object of providing an improved pole grip available, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a pole grip with a secure locking mechanism for the loop length is to be made available, which is easy to manufacture, and in which the handle material is protected against tensile stress and against abrasion through the wrist strap.

The solution of this problem is achieved by a stick handle according to claim 1.

At the novel pole handle for walking sticks, trekking poles, alpine skis, cross-country skis, or Nordic walking poles, a length-adjustable wrist strap is attached in or on the handle body. The handle according to the invention further comprises a device for blocking and adjusting the length of use of the hand strap. The hand strap comprises a substantially band-shaped element which forms a loop between a first, fixed end and a free, second end of the hand strap, which wraps around the user's hand. The loop is adjustable in length. The loop length is adjustable with an upward movement of the wrist strap and is fixed by a downward movement, which in detail below is described.

The band-shaped element of the hand strap is advantageously formed of a woven material having a preferred width of 5-25 mm, preferably a woven band of synthetic fibers or natural fibers. Alternatively, the loop may also be thermoplastically injected from a soft plastic.

The pole handle has a handle body with a head portion and a handle portion. Likewise, the grip body has a recess with a radial first section in the region of the grip head and an axial second section essentially in the region of the grip body, the axial second section extending into the region of the head section. The horizontal first section essentially serves to insert and secure the hand strap to the handle body, while the axial second section substantially serves to receive a top tube section of a pole tube from below, i.e., from below. the axial second portion of the recess is open towards the lower end of the handle body. In other words, the recess is designed to be open at the lower end of the handle body and towards the rear in the region of the insertion of the hand strap, and the axial, second portion of the recess of the handle body opens into the first, substantially horizontal portion of the recess.

The hand strap has on the one hand, or on one side, a first, preferably fixed in the head portion of the handle body end. On the other hand, the hand strap first enters the recess of the grip body with a middle loop portion, undergoes a deflection around a deflection element in the recess, and then exits downward as a free second end out of the recess of the grip body. In the recess, or in the interior of the head portion of the handle body, a blocking element is arranged, which blocks the lower, free second end of the recess of the handle body when pulling on the wrist strap, in particular, if this is directed downwards, loops lower loop portion. In the inventive pole handle the blocking element is mounted in an insert which, at least with an upper head portion of the insert, is arranged in the recess of the grip body. In blocking position, the lower loop portion is blocked by the blocking element by the lower loop portion is preferably pressed in a blocking manner on a support surface of the insert or on a bearing surface on the insert. By providing such an insert as a separate structural unit, on the one hand the manufacture of the pole grip is facilitated, as well as the handle material is protected since the location of the load is displaced into the insert, which to some extent forms a housing for the blocking mechanism.

According to a first preferred embodiment, the insert has a lower neck section which adjoins the head section in the axial direction downwards. The neck portion of the insert is inserted or inserted at the upper end of a top pipe section of a pole tube in a central recess of the uppermost pipe section. The lower axial portion of the insert, or the neck portion of the insert, which projects axially from below into the pole grip or is embedded therein, is substantially cylindrical, and preferably, for the purpose of material and thus weight saving, in the form of a hollow cylinder , Preferably, the neck portion is formed integrally with the head portion.

The insert is arranged according to a further preferred embodiment with its neck portion in the top tube portion and secured, e.g. Pressed in the top pipe section, glued or mechanically connected. The head portion of the insert is disposed in the axial recess of the handle body. The handle body may additionally be glued or pressed on this head portion of the insert. The attachment of the insert is but mainly with its neck portion in the top pipe section.

The insert preferably has a shoulder between the larger diameter head portion and the smaller diameter neck portion. This paragraph serves as an upper tee for the top pipe section.

In an alternative preferred embodiment, the neck portion of the insert is sleeve-shaped, and the insert is slid onto the uppermost tube portion. That is, the insert is slipped over the upper end of the uppermost pipe section or is or is placed over it. The head portion of the insert has in this embodiment in its cavity on the blocking element, which serves for the deflection and the length fixation of the hand strap. The neck portion is in the form of a sleeve, which is suitable for receiving the uppermost pipe section and formed. The inner diameter of the sleeve is preferably only directly larger than the outer diameter of the uppermost pipe section. The insert can in this embodiment, either before the assembly of the handle body or as Assembled assembly with attached thereto handle body or attached thereto grip sleeve on the top tube section and preferably be attached thereto. The attachment of the handle body to the insert is preferably by gluing. The attachment of the uppermost pipe section in the neck portion of the insert is carried out here preferably by pressing or sticking. The length of the insert preferably extends in this preferred sleeve-shaped embodiment over a large part of the length of the handle body, or from the horizontal first portion of the recess of the handle body to the lower end of the handle body within and along the entire length of the axial second portion of the recess Handle body.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a partition extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rod and extending essentially in the radial direction is arranged between the head section and the neck section, which delimits a cavity in the insert at the bottom or separates into an upper central recess and a lower central recess. or which forms the bottom of the upper central recess. This partition preferably forms in the region of the shoulder the bearing surface for the lower loop portion, against which the lower loop portion is pressed in the blocking position.

In the embodiment in which the insert is adapted to receive the uppermost tubular sleeve, the uppermost tubular portion finds an upper stop at the inner upper end of the sleeve-shaped neck portion of the insert. This may be in the form of the mentioned partition wall or, for example, as in relation to the neck portion of smaller-diameter sleeve portion, which forms the boundary to the head portion of the insert, be designed. The upper stop for the uppermost pipe section can thus also be formed by a circumferential radial shoulder which is arranged between the head section and the neck section of the insert. Preferably, the head portion and the neck portion of the insert according to this preferred embodiment are integrally formed.

The insert is preferably at least partially, preferably formed entirely of metal, for example of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Alternatively, however, the insert may also be partially or wholly made of plastic, in particular of a hard plastic, preferably of PC, PP, polyamide, or ABS, optionally in fiber-reinforced form.

The total length of the insert, measured along its longitudinal axis, or in inserted Condition along the stick longitudinal axis, or the longitudinal axis of the handle body is preferably 20-70 mm, more preferably 30-60 mm. In this case, the neck portion projecting from the top into the uppermost pipe section preferably has a length of 10-40 mm, particularly preferably 20-30 mm. Preferably, the head portion of the insert is formed longer than the neck portion, but alternatively, an inverse ratio of the length of the head portion to the length of the neck portion is possible, or that both portions are substantially equal in length.

The outer diameter of the insert is in the head section preferably 12-22 mm, particularly preferably 14-18 mm. The outer diameter of the neck portion of the insert is preferably 10-20 mm, more preferably 12-16 mm (.

The head portion of the insert preferably finds an upper stop on a second, axial recess defining upper wall in the interior of the head portion of the handle body. The dimensions of the recess or bore of the handle body for the head portion of the insert is matched to the dimensions of the insert.

The upper, first end of the wrist strap is advantageously fastened to or in an upper wall of the insert by means of a fastening element, preferably by means of a screw, a pin, a bolt, or a rivet. In a further preferred embodiment, the fastening element projects into a preferably axial central recess or bore in the upper wall of the head section of the insert. In the case of attachment of the first end of the wrist strap by a screw, the axial central recess or bore preferably has an internal thread.

The lower loop section emerging from the grip body with the free lower second end is arranged directly underneath the central loop section entering into the grip body in the pole grip according to the invention.

In a further preferred exemplary embodiment, the deflecting element is a pin which is arranged essentially horizontally in the head section of the insert and substantially transversely to a longitudinal axis of the grip body or of the pole attached thereto. The pin is preferably held or mounted in a lateral wall in the region of the head portion of the insert in corresponding opposing recesses or holes in the insert, wherein at least one of these two recesses is formed continuously on one side, so that the Pen inserted from the outside and can be fixed in use or in the handle body. On the one hand, this facilitates the manufacture of the insert as a separate component, which can be used during the initial assembly or for replacement in the grip head, and on the other hand, in the case of wear of the blocking element or the hand strap replacement of the pin, the blocking element or the hand strap. The transverse pin, which serves as a deflection element of the hand strap, thus penetrates an upper central recess of the insert in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the rod and transversely to a direction in which the middle loop portion is inserted into the horizontal portion of the recess of the handle body.

The pin or transverse pin can have a circular cross-section, but it is also possible, for example, to increase the friction, to provide a different cross-sectional shape, for example, a square, rectangular, or polygonal cross-sectional shape.

Preferably, the blocking element is rotatably or fixedly secured to the deflecting element designed as a transverse pin. Thus, also the blocking element is preferably in an upper central recess of the insert, i. in the head area of the insert, arranged.

In a further preferred embodiment, the blocking element is rotatable or pivotable about the deflection element or the transverse pin. The transverse pin is arranged along the axis of rotation or rotation axis of the blocking element, and the blocking element thus rotates about the transverse pin. Thus, preferably, the middle loop portion entering the handle body is guided around the transverse pin and guided out of the handle body below with the second free lower end in the region of the horizontal first portion of the recess. Alternatively, the blocking element can be firmly connected to the transverse pin, wherein the transverse pin is rotatably arranged in the mutually opposite recesses or bores of the insert.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the blocking element has a downwardly angled or downwardly directed area, which is pressed in the blocking position on the free, lower, second end emerging from the handle body lower loop portion. In contrast to the pole grip of EP 1 819 406, in the blocking position only the lower loop section is blocked by the blocking element in a blocking manner Support surface of the insert pressed.

The blocking element preferably has a deflection section, which is encompassed on the outside by a gripping angle of at least 120 degrees, preferably at least 160 degrees, from the middle loop section. The straight section is preferably followed by a straight section. At the end of the straight portion, or leg, which faces away from the pin, or which is directed towards the opening of the recess at the rear of the pole handle, preferably the above-mentioned, downwardly angled or downwardly directed area is arranged.

The downwardly angled portion of the blocking element is angled at an angle of 70-120 degrees from the straight section or leg.

The straight portion and the downwardly angled portion of the blocking element preferably each have a length resp. Height so that when downwardly directed hand loop entering the recess of the handle body mean loop portion pulls the downwardly angled portion of the blocking element down to the free end of the handle body exiting lower loop portion. Namely, the downward pull on the hand strap causes a pull on the deflection portion of the blocking element, which leads to a rotation of the blocking element and a resulting force of the downwardly angled portion of the blocking element on the lower loop portion. It is of particular advantage if the downwardly angled region of the blocking element has on its lower side a downwardly directed toothing, or preferably at least one downwardly directed tooth or a continuous clamping edge. This increases the friction between the blocking element and the lower loop portion, as the downwardly directed teeth clamp on the loop band when the blocking element is directed downwards. In addition, the pressure on loop tape is increased by the teeth and thus improves the holding force.

The blocking element is pivoted at a downward movement of the wrist strap or under train on the hand strap downwards, for the purpose of blocking the lower loop portion, down to the deflecting element. Conversely, with a movement of the hand strap up, for the purpose of adjustability of the hand strap length, the blocking element is pivoted upwardly around the deflector, releasing the lower loop portion, since the angled portion or the angled portion of the blocking element from the lower loop portion either lifted or the lower loop portion is at least drackentlastet. The blocking element is held in the blocking position by pulling down. Preferably, adjustability of the length of the hand strap is only allowed when the hand strap is selectively deflected into a horizontal position, and in particular when the hand strap is moved upwards.

The present invention further relates to a stick, in particular walking stick, trekking pole, alpine ski pole, cross-country ski poles, or Nordic walking pole, which has a pole grip according to one of the embodiments described above.

Further embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a pole 1 according to the invention in the blocking position or clamping position. The grip body 4 of the pole grip 1 is fastened to the upper end of a pole tube, or to an uppermost tubular section 3 of a pole tube. The grip body 4 has an upper head portion 4a and a lower grip portion 4b. The attached in the head portion 4a of the handle body 4 hand strap 2 is adjustable in length. In order to reduce the diameter of the hand strap 2 must be pulled at the lower free second end 2b of the loop strap of the hand strap 2, the length adjustability or adjustability only given or a train at the lower free second end is only possible if the hand strap 2, or the upper loop portion 2c emerging from the grip head 4a and the middle loop portion 2d entering the grip head 4a and the grip body 4b, respectively, are moved upward.

As shown in Fig. 4, the handle body 4 has an open towards the bottom axial recess or an axial cavity 21, in which the pole tube 3 is inserted. The pole grip 1 is ergonomically shaped, wherein the grip section 4b of the grip body 4 has a step 4d pointing forwardly in the running direction V for the support of fingers and a projection 4c directed backwards at the lower end of the grip section 4b. At the upper end of the handle head 4 a in the direction of V overhanging knob is formed, which facilitates support from the top of the stick and embracing.

In addition, the grip head 4 a of the grip body 4 has a recess 6, which towards the rear side of the pole grip 1 out with respect to the running direction V seen, i. on the side of the user, where the hand loop enters the grip head 4a, or emerges from the grip head 4a, is formed open. This substantially horizontal recess 6 opens into the central axial recess 21 for the pole tube, or the uppermost tube section 3 of a pole tube.

In the upper end 3 a of the inserted uppermost pipe section 3 of a pole pipe in the inventive embodiment of FIG. 5, an insert 7 is inserted from above, which with its neck portion 7 b in the uppermost pipe section 3 of the pole tube intervenes. The neck portion 7b of the insert 7 is formed as a hollow cylinder. The head portion 7a of the insert 7 is also substantially as seen in relation to the circumferential direction Ul, to some extent incomplete hollow cylinder formed with an upwardly convex upper wall 7f. The head area 7a is formed closed in the circumferential direction U1 with respect to the running direction V, but open toward the rear, ie the lateral surface of the head area 7a of the insert 7 is partially missing in the circumferential direction U1 of the insert. It lacks less than half the circumference of the lateral surface. The insert 7 finds an upper stop on the axial recess 21 of the handle head 4a upwardly bounding wall.

The hand strap 2 can project through this opening into the recess 6 of the grip head 4a and further into the central recess 8a of the head portion 7a of the insert 7.

An in the circumferential direction of the insert 7 Umlaufender paragraph 15 at the transition from the lower neck portion 7b to the upper head portion 7a of the insert 7 forms an upper stop for the pole. In this case, the peripheral lower edge 16 is beveled at the shoulder 15, as well as the lower circumferential edge 17 of the neck portion 7b of the insert 7, as shown in detail in Fig. 5.

Between the head portion 7a and the neck portion 7b of the insert 7, or between the upper central recess 8a and the lower central recess 8b of the insert according to the embodiment of Fig. 4, 5 a partition 9 is arranged, which to some extent the bottom of the upper central Recess 8a forms.

In the head portion 7a of the insert 7, a blocking element 10 is mounted rotatably or pivotably about an axis of rotation, which is arranged transversely to the stock longitudinal axis L or to the longitudinal axis of the pole grip 1 and transversely to the direction V and substantially horizontal. Along the axis of rotation, a pin or transverse pin 1 1 is arranged, around which the blocking element 10 is pivotally mounted. The head portion 7a has in its side wall or in the lateral surface on two opposite sides in each case a through hole or at least one side open recess, through which in each case one end of the transverse pin 11 protrudes.

The blocking element 10, which is designed to be similar to a wing, has a deflection section 10a, as well as a subsequent leg or straight section 10b, followed by an angled region 10c. This angled portion 10c has on its underside small, downwardly directed teeth 12 and a Teeth or a continuous Klemrnkante to increase the frictional force or the blocking force of the blocking element 10 on the lower loop portion 2e. Both the deflection section 10a, as well as the straight portion 10b and the angled portion 10c extend over the entire inner diameter of the head portion 7a of the insert 7, or penetrates the upper central recess of the insert 7 in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the transverse pin 11, or in a direction transverse to the stock longitudinal axis L.

The pin or transverse pin 11 simultaneously serves as a deflection element for the middle loop portion 2d of the hand strap 2 in the interior of the grip head 4a, or in the interior of the upper central recess 8a of the insert 7.

The hand strap 2 has a loop band with two free ends 2a, 2b, of which an upper first end 2a is fastened by means of a fastening element 13 in an upper wall 7f of the insert 7. For attachment, the upper wall 7f of the head portion 7a of the insert 7 has an axial central recess or bore 14. The upper first end 2a of the hand strap 2 is made by inserting the fastener 13 in the form of a pin, rivet or a screw in this central recess or bore 14th

Starting from the fastened upper first end 2a, the loop band runs through the substantially horizontal recess of the grip head 4a with respect to the running direction V to the rear and exits at the rear side of the pole grip 1 from the grip head 4a. From there, the loop band forms a wrist strap 2, which encloses the user's hand, and then enters again into the recess 6 of the grip head 4a with a middle loop portion 2d. There it then enters the upper central recess 8 a of the insert 7 and is deflected around the substantially horizontally mounted in the insert 7 pin or cross pin 11, or about the transverse pin 1 1 rotatably hinged blocking element 10. After the deflection, the now lower loop section 2e initially rests on the support surface 20 formed at least in regions by the partition wall 9, before the lower loop section 2e leaves the grip head 4a again through the recess 6 towards the rear. The lower free second end 2b of the loop tape is hanging freely down and is formed deflected in the illustrated embodiment.

The angled portion 10c of the blocking element 10 presses the lower loop portion 2e in the illustrated embodiment on the partition wall 9, and on the pressure surface is in the region of the side wall or the lateral surface at the lower end of the head portion 7a of the insert 7, immediately in front of the contact point between the insert and the rear wall of the handle body 4 at the lower end of the radial first portion 6a of the recess. 6

The hand strap of Fig. 4 is shown in a somewhat neutral position, i. neither in the pulled-down position, in which the blocking element 10 is in the clamping position or blocking position, nor in the pulled-up position in which the blocking element 10 is in the adjusting position, i. in which the hand strap 2 is adjustable in length, but in a position in between. Namely, in the blocking position, the middle loop portion 2d at the rear exit of the recess 6 lies directly on the lower loop portion 2e.

If, as is not shown in the figures, the hand strap 2 is directed downwards, as is typically the case when using the stick, or when pulling the wrist strap 2 downwards, the middle loop portion 2d pulls in the clockwise direction U2 at the deflection portion 10a of FIG By blocking the deflection section 10a of the blocking element 10 through the middle loop section 2d, the blocking element 10 is thus rotated about the transverse pin 11 or about the axis of rotation due to the tension on the middle loop section 2d. As a result, the angled region 10c of the blocking element 10 is pressed onto the lower loop section 2e, which in turn is pressed onto the support surface 20 in the region of the shoulder 15 of the insert 7 in the region of the side wall. As a result, the length of the hand strap 2 is fixed and prevents the adjustability of the length in this position. The toothing 12 or tips on the underside of the angled region 10c increase the frictional force or the blocking effect here.

If the hand strap 2 is held in the horizontal or upwardly directed position, the blocking element 10 is easily pivotable and exerts no pressure on the underlying lower loop portion 2e. Accordingly, the length of the hand strap 2 can be adjusted in this position, in other words, the hand strap 2 can be reduced by pulling on the second free end 2b, or extended by pulling on the middle loop portion 2d entering the grip body 4. In addition, the length of the hand strap 2 in upwardly directed position the hand strap 2 are in any case increased, which automatically gives a security in the event of a fall or a sticking of the stick.

6 shows a schematic representation of a second embodiment of a pole grip, viewed in the direction of travel from rear to front, with a view of the recess 6 of the head section 4a of the grip body 4. The section along the sectional plane BB of FIG. 6 is shown in FIG displayed. Here it can be seen that the insert 7 is formed longer than in the embodiment of Figure 4. Instead of that the insert 7 is inserted with its neck portion 7b in the top tube section 3, as shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the insert 7 in the region of his sleeve-shaped neck portion 7b placed over the top pipe section 3 of the pole tube or slipped over and attached thereto. The uppermost pipe section 3 thus extends within the lower central recess 8b of the insert 7 over the entire length of the neck section 7b and beyond. Further, the neck portion 7b of the insert 7 is received in the central axial recess 21 of the handle body 4 thus mounted in the interior of the handle body 4 on the handle body 4. Thus, the insert 7 can be made either as a unit with the handle body 4, and / or as a unit with the top pipe section 3. The wall thickness of the insert 7 in the neck portion 7b in this embodiment is greater than the wall thickness of the top pipe section. 3

While in the embodiment of Figure 4, the upper central recess 8a of the insert 7 in the head portion 7a has a larger diameter than the lower central recess 8b in the neck portion 7b, has in the embodiment of Figure 7, the upper central recess 8a of the insert 7 in the Head portion 7a a smaller diameter than the lower central recess 8b in the neck portion 7b. Accordingly, between the head portion 7a and the neck portion 7b is a radially inwardly directed, and along the entire circumference of the insert 7 extending circumferential shoulder 15a and a smaller diameter portion arranged. This forms an upper stop for the uppermost pipe section 3 at the upper end of the neck portion 7b. Below the dividing wall 9 or the bottom 9, a substantially disk-shaped hollow or filled radial gap 22 is arranged in the illustrated embodiment in the region of the circumferential shoulder 15a.

As in the embodiment of Figure 4 is in the embodiment of Figure 7, the Blocking element 10 in the upper central recess 8 a in the head portion 7 a of the insert 7 is arranged and fixed, the types of arrangement and attachment of the blocking element 10 and the types of attachment of the hand strap 2 on the insert also applicable to this alternative embodiment of Figure 7 are.
