Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stick grip for walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country skiing sticks, Nordic walking sticks, with a grip body and with a hand strap, the length of the hand strap being adjustable.
- Walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country skiing sticks, as well as Nordic walking sticks usually have a stick handle at their upper end, which is gripped by the hand.
- a hand strap is usually attached to this stick handle, through which the hand is guided before grasping the stick handle.
- Such hand straps can usually be adjusted to different hand sizes and to be used with or without gloves by varying their length. In this regard, there are a number of ways to variably attach hand straps to the stick handle.
- the U.S. 3,113,786 discloses a length-adjustable hand strap, in which the first end of the strap is fixed in the handle and the second end can be attached to the desired length on the outside of the handle with a fastener oriented transversely to the pole axis, while the remaining part of the second end of the strap can be threaded through the handle into the Cane tube can be inserted.
- the EP 1 819 406 discloses such a handle with an improved locking mechanism for the length of use of the hand strap.
- a handle has the disadvantage that if the handle is made of a soft material, such as foam material or cork, the handle material at the point where the hand strap enters and exits can quickly wear out due to abrasion caused by stress.
- Existing systems also have the disadvantage of insufficient stability when the handles are made of soft material.
- the DE 20311805 U1 discloses a stick grip with a length-adjustable hand strap, a first end of the strap being attached to a clamping element that can be tilted in a stick tube attachment.
- the object of the invention is therefore, inter alia, to provide an improved stick grip which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a stick grip with a secure locking mechanism for the loop length is to be made available, which is easy to produce and in which the grip material is protected from tensile stress and from abrasion by the hand loop.
- a length-adjustable hand strap is attached in or on the handle body.
- the stick grip according to the invention also has a device for blocking and adjusting the length of use of the hand strap.
- the hand strap comprises an essentially band-shaped element which forms a loop between an upper, first, fixed end and a free, lower, second end of the hand strap forms, which wraps around the user's hand.
- the loop is adjustable in length. The loop length is adjusted with an upward movement of the wrist strap and is fixed with a downward movement, which is discussed in more detail below is described.
- the band-shaped element of the hand strap is advantageously made of a woven material with a preferred width of 5-25 mm, preferably a woven band of synthetic fibers or natural fibres.
- the loop can also be thermoplastically injected from a soft plastic.
- the stick grip has a grip body with a head section and a grip section.
- the handle body also has a recess with a radial first section in the area of the handle head and an axial second section essentially in the area of the handle body, with the axial second section extending into the area of the head section.

- the recess is open downwards at the lower end of the handle body and to the rear in the area where the hand strap is inserted, and the axial, second section of the recess of the handle body opens into the first, essentially horizontal section of the recess.
- the hand strap has an upper, first end on one side, which is fastened to or in a top wall of the insert by means of a screw. On the other side, the hand strap first enters the recess of the grip body with a middle loop section, is deflected in the recess by a deflection element and then emerges downwards as a free, lower, second end from the recess of the grip body.
- a blocking element is arranged in the recess or inside the head section of the handle body, which blocks the lower loop section protruding from the recess of the handle body at the lower, free second end when the hand strap is subjected to a tensile load when it is directed downwards.
- the blocking element is mounted in an insert which, at least with an upper head section of the insert, is arranged in the recess of the grip body. In the blocking position, the lower loop section is blocked by the blocking element in that the lower loop section is preferably pressed in a blocking manner onto a contact surface of the insert or onto a contact surface on the insert.
- the insert has a lower neck section adjoining the head section downwards in the axial direction.
- the neck portion of the insert is insertable or inserted into a central recess of the uppermost tube section at the upper end of an uppermost tube section of a pole tube.
- the lower axial section of the insert, or the neck section of the insert, which protrudes axially from below into the pole grip or is embedded in it, is essentially cylindrical and preferably in the form of a hollow cylinder to save material and thus weight .
- the neck portion is formed integrally with the head portion.

- the head portion of the insert is located in the axial recess of the handle body.
- the handle body can additionally be glued or pressed onto this head section of the insert.
- the attachment of the insert takes place mainly with its neck section in the uppermost pipe section.
- the insert preferably has a shoulder between the larger-diameter head portion and the smaller-diameter neck portion. This paragraph serves as the upper tee for the top section of pipe.
- the neck section of the insert is designed in the form of a sleeve, and the insert is pushed onto the uppermost pipe section. This means that the insert can be slipped over the upper end of the uppermost pipe section or is or is slipped over it.

- This partition preferably forms the support surface for the lower loop section in the area of the shoulder, against which the lower loop section is pressed in the blocking position.
- the uppermost tubular section finds an upper stop at the inner upper end of the sleeve-shaped neck portion of the insert.
- This can be designed in the form of the partition wall mentioned or, for example, as a sleeve section with a smaller diameter than the neck section, which forms the boundary to the head section of the insert.
- 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.

- the dimensions of the recess or bore of the handle body for the head section of the insert is matched to the dimensions of the insert.
- the upper, first end of the hand strap is attached to or in an upper wall of the insert by means of an attachment element in the form of a screw.
- the fastening element projects into a preferably axial, central recess or bore in the upper wall of the head section of the insert.
- the axial central recess or bore preferably has an internal thread.
- the lower loop section protruding from the grip body with the free lower second end is arranged directly below the central loop section entering the grip body.
- the deflection element is a pin which is arranged essentially horizontally in the head section of the insert and essentially transversely to a longitudinal axis of the grip body or the stick attached thereto.
- the pin is preferably held or mounted in a lateral wall in the region of the head section of the insert in corresponding opposite recesses or bores in the insert, with at least one of these two recesses being continuous on one side, so that the Pen can be pushed in from the outside and thus fixed in use or in the grip body.
- this facilitates the production of the insert as a separate component, which can be inserted into the handle head during initial assembly or for the purpose of replacement, and, on the other hand, it enables the pin, the blocking element or the hand strap to be replaced if the blocking element or the hand strap is worn out.
- the transverse pin which serves as a deflection element for the hand strap, thus protrudes through an upper central recess of the insert in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pole and transverse to a direction in which the central loop section is inserted into the horizontal section of the recess in the grip body.
- the pin or transverse pin can have a circular cross-section, but it is also possible, for example to increase friction, to provide a different cross-sectional shape, for example a square, rectangular or polygonal cross-sectional shape.
- the blocking element is preferably rotatably or fixedly fastened to the deflection element designed as a transverse pin.
- the blocking element is also preferably arranged in an upper central recess of the insert, i.e. in the head area of the insert.
- the blocking element is rotatably or pivotably mounted about the deflection element or the transverse pin.
- the cross pin is arranged along the axis of rotation of the blocking element, and the blocking element thus rotates about the cross pin.
- the middle loop section entering the handle body is preferably guided around the transverse pin and led out below with the second free lower end in the area of the horizontal first section of the recess from the handle body.
- the blocking element can be fixedly connected to the transverse pin, the transverse pin being rotatably arranged in the opposing 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, in the blocking position, is pressed onto the lower loop section protruding from the grip body at the free, lower, second end. Contrary to the stick grip EP 1 819 406 is here in the blocking position only the lower loop portion by the blocking element in a blocking manner on a Contact surface of the insert pressed.
- the blocking element preferably has a deflection section which is encompassed on the outside by the middle loop section over an angle of at least 120 degrees, preferably at least 160 degrees.
- a straight section preferably follows the deflection section.
- the above-mentioned downwardly angled or downwardly directed area is preferably arranged.
- the downwardly angled portion of the locking member is angled at an angle of 70-120 degrees from the straight portion or leg.
- the straight section and the downwardly angled area of the blocking element preferably each have a length, respectively. Height, so that when the hand strap is directed downwards, the middle loop section entering the recess of the grip body pulls the downwardly angled area of the blocking element down onto the lower loop section emerging from the free end of the grip body.
- the downward pull on the hand strap causes a pull on the deflection section of the blocking element, which leads to a rotation of the blocking element and a resulting force of the downwardly angled area of the blocking element acting on the lower loop section.
- the downwardly angled area of the blocking element has downwardly directed teeth on its lower side, 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 onto the loop band when the blocking element is steered downwards. In addition, the pressure on the loop strap is increased by the teeth and thus the holding power is improved.
- the blocking element is pivoted downwards around the deflection element for the purpose of blocking the lower loop section.
- the blocking element is pivoted upwards around the deflection element, releasing the lower loop section, since the angled area or the angled area of the blocking element is separated from the lower loop section either lifted off or the lower loop section is at least relieved of pressure.
- the blocking element is held in the blocking position by downward tensile loading. Adjustability of the length of the hand strap is preferably only permitted when the hand strap is deliberately deflected into a horizontal position, and in particular when the hand strap is moved upwards.
- the present invention also relates to a stick, in particular a walking stick, trekking stick, alpine ski stick, cross-country ski stick or Nordic walking stick, which has a stick handle according to one of the embodiments described above.
- a first exemplary embodiment of a stick 1 according to the invention is shown in the blocking position or clamping position.

- the lower free second end 2b of the loop band of the hand strap 2 In order to reduce the diameter of the hand strap 2, the lower free second end 2b of the loop band of the hand strap 2 must be pulled, whereby the length adjustability or adjustability is only given or a pull at the lower free second end is only possible if the hand strap 2 or the upper loop section 2c emerging from the grip head 4a and the middle loop section 2d, which enters the grip head 4a or the grip body 4b, are moved upwards.
- the grip body 4 has a downwardly open axial recess or an axial cavity 21 into which the pole tube 3 is inserted.
- the pole grip 1 is ergonomically shaped, with the grip section 4b of the grip body 4 having a shoulder 4d pointing forward in the running direction V for supporting fingers and a projection 4c pointing backward at the lower end of the grip section 4b.
- the grip head 4a of the grip body 4 has a recess 6, which faces towards the rear of the stick grip 1, seen in relation to the running direction V, i.e. on the side of the user where the hand strap enters the grip head 4a, or out of the grip head 4a emerges, is designed to be open.
- This substantially horizontal recess 6 opens into the central axial recess 21 for the pole, or the uppermost tube section 3 of a pole.
- an insert 7 used from above, which with its neck portion 7b in the top tube portion 3 of the pole tube intervenes.
- the neck section 7b of the insert 7 is designed as a hollow cylinder.
- the head section 7a of the insert 7 is also essentially designed as a somewhat incomplete hollow cylinder, viewed in relation to the circumferential direction U1, with an upper wall 7f that is convex toward the top.
- the head area 7a is closed towards the front in the circumferential direction U1 with respect to the running direction V, but open towards 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. Less than half of the circumference of the lateral surface is missing.
- the insert 7 finds an upper stop on the wall delimiting the axial recess 21 of the handle head 4a at the top.
- the hand strap 2 can protrude through this opening into the recess 6 of the handle head 4a and further into the central recess 8a of the head section 7a of the insert 7 .
- a shoulder 15 running around in the circumferential direction U1 of the insert 7 at the transition from the lower neck section 7b to the upper head section 7a of the insert 7 forms an upper stop for the pole tube.
- the peripheral lower edge 16 on the shoulder 15 is bevelled, as is the lower peripheral edge 17 of the neck section 7b of the insert 7, as in FIG figure 5 shown in detail.
- a partition wall 9 is arranged, which to a certain extent forms the bottom of the upper central recess 8a.
- a blocking element 10 is rotatably or pivotably mounted about an axis of rotation which is arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis L of the stick or to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip 1 and transversely to the running direction V and essentially horizontally.
- a pin or transverse pin 11 is arranged along the axis of rotation, around which the blocking element 10 is arranged pivotably.
- the head section 7a has in its side wall or in the lateral surface on two opposite sides in each case a through hole or recess open at least on one side, through which one end of the transverse pin 11 protrudes in each case.
- the blocking element 10 which is designed like a wing, has a deflection section 10a and an adjoining leg or straight section 10b, followed by an angled area 10c.
- This angled portion 10c has on its underside small, downward-pointing teeth 12 or a Toothing or a continuous clamping edge 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 and the straight section 10b and the angled area 10c extend over the entire inner diameter of the head section 7a of the insert 7, or protrudes through 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 longitudinal axis L of the stick.
- the pin or transverse pin 11 serves at the same time as a deflection element for the middle loop section 2d of the hand strap 2 inside the handle head 4a, or inside the upper central recess 8a of the insert 7.
- the hand strap 2 has a strap with two free ends 2a, 2b, of which an upper first end 2a is attached by means of an attachment element 13 in an upper wall 7f of the insert 7.
- the top wall 7f of the head portion 7a of the insert 7 has an axial central recess or bore 14 for attachment.
- the upper first end 2a of the hand strap 2 is achieved by inserting the fastening element 13 in the form of a screw into this central recess or bore 14.
- the loop strap runs through the essentially horizontal recess of the grip head 4a in relation to the running direction V to the rear and emerges from the grip head 4a on the rear side of the pole grip 1.
- the loop tape forms a hand strap 2, which encloses the user's hand, and then re-enters the recess 6 of the handle head 4a with a middle loop section 2d.
- the upper central recess 8a of the insert 7 is deflected around the pin or transverse pin 11 mounted essentially horizontally in the insert 7 or around the blocking element 10 rotatably articulated on the transverse pin 11 .
- the now lower loop section 2e initially rests on the contact surface 20 formed at least in some areas by the partition 9 before the lower loop section 2e leaves the grip head 4a through the recess 6 to the rear.
- the lower, free, second end 2b of the loop strap hangs freely downwards and is deflected in the exemplary embodiment shown.
- the angled area 10c of the blocking element 10 presses the lower loop section 2e in the exemplary embodiment shown onto the partition wall 9 or the bearing surface 20 in the area of shoulder 15 between the head section 7a and the neck section 7b of the insert 7.
- the pressure point is in the area of the side wall or the lateral surface at the lower end of the head section 7a of the insert 7, directly 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 section 6a of the recess 6.
- the hand strap of 4 is shown in a somewhat neutral position, ie 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 adjustment position, ie in which the Hand strap 2 is adjustable in length, but in a position in between.
- the blocking position namely, the middle loop section 2d at the rear exit of the recess 6 rests directly on the lower loop section 2e.
- the middle strap section 2d pulls in the clockwise direction U2 on the deflection section 10a of the Blocking element 10.
- the blocking element 10 is thus rotated about the transverse pin 11 or about the axis of rotation by the train on the central loop section 2d due to the enclosing of the deflection section 10a of the blocking element 10 by the central loop section 2d.
- the angled area 10c of the blocking element 10 is pressed onto the lower loop section 2e, which in turn is thereby pressed onto the bearing surface 20 in the area of the side wall in the area of the shoulder 15 of the insert 7 . This fixes the length of the hand strap 2 and prevents the length adjustability in this position.
- the teeth 12 or tips on the underside of the angled area 10c increase the frictional force or the blocking effect here.
- the blocking element 10 can be pivoted loosely and does not exert any pressure on the lower strap section 2e lying underneath. 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 lengthened by pulling on the middle loop section 2d entering the handle body 4. In addition, the length of the hand strap 2 in the upward position of the hand strap 2 must be increased in any case, which automatically provides security in the event of a fall or the stick getting caught.
- FIG 6 is a second embodiment of a stick grip shown in a schematic representation, seen in the running direction from back to front, with a view of the recess 6 of the head portion 4a of the grip body 4.
- the section along the section plane BB of 6 is in 7 pictured.
- the insert 7 is longer than in the embodiment of FIG figure 4 .
- the insert 7 is placed in the region of its sleeve-shaped neck section 7b over the uppermost tube section 3 of the pole tube and is fastened thereto.
- the uppermost tube 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. Furthermore, the neck section 7b of the insert 7 is accommodated in the central axial recess 21 of the handle body 4 and is thus fastened to the handle body 4 inside the handle body 4 .
- the insert 7 can be made either as a structural unit with the handle body 4 and/or as a structural unit with the uppermost pipe section 3.
- the wall thickness of the insert 7 in the neck section 7b is greater in this exemplary embodiment than the wall thickness of the uppermost pipe section 3.
- Blocking element 10 is arranged and fixed in the upper central recess 8a in the head portion 7a of the insert 7, 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 for this alternative embodiment of figure 7 are applicable.

Gehstöcke, Trekkingstöcke, Alpinskistöcke, Langlaufstöcke, sowie auch Nordic-Walking-Stöcke verfügen normalerweise an ihrem oberen Ende über einen Stockgriff, welcher von der Hand erfasst wird. Um einen versehentlichen Verlust des Stockes zu vermeiden und um die Handkraft des Benutzers auf den Stock zu übertragen, wird üblicherweise an diesem Stockgriff eine Handschlaufe befestigt, durch welche die Hand vor dem Ergreifen des Stockgriffes hindurchgeführt wird. Derartige Handschlaufen sind in der Regel auf unterschiedliche Handgrössen sowie auf Benützung mit oder ohne Handschuhe einstellbar, indem ihre Länge variiert werden kann. Es gibt diesbezüglich eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, Handschlaufen am Stockgriff variabel zu befestigen.Walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country skiing sticks, as well as Nordic walking sticks usually have a stick handle at their upper end, which is gripped by the hand. In order to avoid accidentally losing the stick and to transfer the manual power of the user to the stick, a hand strap is usually attached to this stick handle, through which the hand is guided before grasping the stick handle. Such hand straps can usually be adjusted to different hand sizes and to be used with or without gloves by varying their length. In this regard, there are a number of ways to variably attach hand straps to the stick handle.
Einerseits ist es möglich, das Band der Handschlaufe mit einer Schraube im oder am Stockgriff zu befestigen, und unterschiedliche Positionen für das Festschrauben vorzusehen. Es gibt aber auch Konstruktionen, bei welchen ein Befestigungsmechanismus für das Schlaufenband vorgesehen ist, bei welchem bei einem Zug der Schlaufe nach oben deren Länge verändert werden kann, und bei einem Zug der Schlaufe nach unten die Schlaufe in ihrer Länge fixiert ist. Derartige Befestigungsmechanismen haben unter anderem den Vorteil, dass beispielsweise bei einem Sturz des Benutzers und einem dabei auftretenden Zug der Schlaufe nach oben die Handschlaufe gelöst wird und Handverletzungen, wie zum Beispiel Skifahrerdaumen, vermieden werden können. Derartige Konstruktionen sind beispielsweise in der
Der Erfindung liegt demnach unter anderem die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Stockgriff zur Verfügung zu stellen, welcher die Nachteile aus dem Stand der Technik überwindet. Insbesondere soll ein Stockgriff mit einem sicheren Blockiermechanismus für die Schlaufenlänge zur Verfügung gestellt werden, welcher einfach herstellbar ist, und bei welchem das Griffmaterial vor Zugbelastung und vor einem Abrieb durch die Handschlaufe geschont ist.The object of the invention is therefore, inter alia, to provide an improved stick grip which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a stick grip with a secure locking mechanism for the loop length is to be made available, which is easy to produce and in which the grip material is protected from tensile stress and from abrasion by the hand loop.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird durch einen Stockgriff nach Anspruch 1 erreicht.This problem is solved by a stick grip according to
Am erfindungsgemässen Stockgriff für Gehstöcke, Trekkingstöcke, Alpinskistöcke, Langlaufskistöcke, oder Nordic-Walking Stöcke, ist eine längenverstellbare Handschlaufe im bzw. am Griffkörper befestigt. Der erfindungsgemässe Stockgriff weist ferner eine Einrichtung zum Blockieren und Einstellen der Benutzungslänge der Handschlaufe auf. Die Handschlaufe umfasst ein im wesentlichen bandförmiges Element, welches zwischen einem oberen, ersten, befestigten Ende und einem freien unteren, zweiten Ende der Handschlaufe eine Schlaufe bildet, welche die Hand des Benutzers umschlingt. Dabei ist die Schlaufe in ihrer Länge einstellbar. Die Schlaufenlänge wird bei einer Aufwärtsbewegung der Handschlaufe verstellbar und wird durch eine Abwärtsbewegung fixiert, was im Detail weiter unten beschrieben wird.On the stick handle according to the invention for walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country ski sticks or Nordic walking sticks, a length-adjustable hand strap is attached in or on the handle body. The stick grip according to the invention also has a device for blocking and adjusting the length of use of the hand strap. The hand strap comprises an essentially band-shaped element which forms a loop between an upper, first, fixed end and a free, lower, second end of the hand strap forms, which wraps around the user's hand. The loop is adjustable in length. The loop length is adjusted with an upward movement of the wrist strap and is fixed with a downward movement, which is discussed in more detail below is described.
Das bandförmige Element der Handschlaufe ist vorteilhafterweise aus einem gewobenen Material mit einer bevorzugten Breite von 5-25 mm gebildet, vorzugsweise aus einem gewobenen Band aus Kunstfasern oder Naturfasern. Alternativ kann die Schlaufe auch aus einem Weichkunststoff thermoplastisch gespritzt sein.The band-shaped element of the hand strap is advantageously made of a woven material with a preferred width of 5-25 mm, preferably a woven band of synthetic fibers or natural fibres. Alternatively, the loop can also be thermoplastically injected from a soft plastic.
Der Stockgriff weist einen Griffkörper mit einem Kopfabschnitt und einem Griffabschnitt auf. Ebenso weist der Griffkörper eine Ausnehmung mit einem radialen ersten Abschnitt im Bereich des Griffkopfes und einem axialen zweiten Abschnitt im Wesentlichen im Bereich des Griffkörpers auf, wobei sich der axiale zweite Abschnitt bis in den Bereich des Kopfabschnittes hinein erstreckt. Der horizontale erste Abschnitt dient im Wesentlichen dem Einführen und Befestigen der Handschlaufe am Griffkörper, während der axiale zweite Abschnitt im Wesentlichen der Aufnahme eines obersten Rohrabschnittes eines Stockrohrs von unten her dient, d.h. der axiale zweite Abschnitt der Ausnehmung ist zum unteren Ende des Griffkörpers hin offen ausgebildet. Mit anderen Worten ist die Ausnehmung nach unten hin am unteren Ende des Griffkörpers und nach hinten hin im Bereich der Einführung der Handschlaufe offen ausgebildet, und der axiale, zweite Abschnitt der Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers mündet in den ersten, im Wesentlichen horizontalen Abschnitt der Ausnehmung.The stick grip has a grip body with a head section and a grip section. The handle body also has a recess with a radial first section in the area of the handle head and an axial second section essentially in the area of the handle body, with the axial second section extending into the area of the head section. The horizontal first section serves essentially to insert and fasten the hand strap to the grip body, while the axial second section essentially serves to accommodate an uppermost tube section of a pole tube from below, i.e. the axial second section of the recess is open towards the lower end of the grip body educated. In other words, the recess is open downwards at the lower end of the handle body and to the rear in the area where the hand strap is inserted, and the axial, second section of the recess of the handle body opens into the first, essentially horizontal section of the recess.
Die Handschlaufe weist auf einer Seite ein oberes, erstes Ende auf, das an oder in einer oberen Wandung des Einsatzes mittels einer Schraube befestigt ist. Auf der anderen Seite tritt die Handschlaufe zunächst mit einem mittleren Schlaufenabschnitt in die Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers ein, erfährt in der Ausnehmung eine Umlenkung um ein Umlenkelement und tritt dann nach unten als freies unteres, zweites Ende aus der Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers heraus.The hand strap has an upper, first end on one side, which is fastened to or in a top wall of the insert by means of a screw. On the other side, the hand strap first enters the recess of the grip body with a middle loop section, is deflected in the recess by a deflection element and then emerges downwards as a free, lower, second end from the recess of the grip body.
In der Ausnehmung, bzw. im Inneren des Kopfabschnittes des Griffkörpers ist ein Blockierelement angeordnet, welches bei Zugbelastung an der Handschlaufe, wenn diese nach unten gerichtet ist, den zum unteren, freien zweiten Ende aus der Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers heraustretenden unteren Schlaufenabschnitt blockiert. Beim erfindungsgemässen Stockgriff ist das Blockierelement in einem Einsatz gelagert, welcher, mindestens mit einem oberen Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes, in der Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers angeordnet ist. In Blockierstellung wird der untere Schlaufenabschnitt durch das Blockierelement blockiert, indem der untere Schlaufenabschnitt vorzugsweise in blockierender Weise auf eine Auflagefläche des Einsatzes bzw. auf eine Auflagefläche am Einsatz gepresst wird.A blocking element is arranged in the recess or inside the head section of the handle body, which blocks the lower loop section protruding from the recess of the handle body at the lower, free second end when the hand strap is subjected to a tensile load when it is directed downwards. In the stick grip according to the invention, the blocking element is mounted in an insert which, at least with an upper head section of the insert, is arranged in the recess of the grip body. In the blocking position, the lower loop section is blocked by the blocking element in that the lower loop section is preferably pressed in a blocking manner onto a contact surface of the insert or onto a contact surface on the insert.
Durch Bereitstellung eines solchen Einsatzes als separate Baueinheit wird einerseits die Herstellung des Stockgriffs erleichtert, als auch das Griffmaterial geschont, da der Ort der Belastung in den Einsatz verlagert wird, welcher gewissermassen ein Gehäuse für den Blockiermechanismus bildet.Providing such an insert as a separate structural unit makes it easier to manufacture the pole grip and protects the grip material, since the location of the stress is shifted to the insert, which to a certain extent forms a housing for the blocking mechanism.
Gemäss einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Einsatz einen unteren, sich in axialer Richtung nach unten an den Kopfabschnitt anschliessenden Halsabschnitt auf. Der Halsabschnitt des Einsatzes ist am oberen Ende eines obersten Rohrabschnittes eines Stockrohrs in eine zentrale Ausnehmung des obersten Rohrabschnittes einsetzbar bzw. eingesetzt. Der untere axiale Abschnitt des Einsatzes, bzw. der Halsabschnitt des Einsatzes, welcher axial von unten her in den Stockgriff hineinragt bzw. darin eingelassen ist, ist im Wesentlichen zylindrisch, und vorzugsweise, zwecks Material- und somit auch Gewichtseinsparung, in Form eines Hohlzylinders ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist der Halsabschnitt einstückig mit dem Kopfabschnitt ausgebildet.According to a first preferred embodiment, the insert has a lower neck section adjoining the head section downwards in the axial direction. The neck portion of the insert is insertable or inserted into a central recess of the uppermost tube section at the upper end of an uppermost tube section of a pole tube. The lower axial section of the insert, or the neck section of the insert, which protrudes axially from below into the pole grip or is embedded in it, is essentially cylindrical and preferably in the form of a hollow cylinder to save material and thus weight . Preferably, the neck portion is formed integrally with the head portion.
Der Einsatz ist gemäss einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform mit seinem Halsabschnitt im obersten Rohrabschnitt angeordnet und befestigt, z.B. im obersten Rohrabschnitt eingepresst, eingeklebt, oder mechanisch verbunden. Der Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes ist in der axialen Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers angeordnet. Der Griffkörper kann dabei zusätzlich auf diesem Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes aufgeklebt oder aufgepresst sein. Die Befestigung des Einsatzes erfolgt aber hauptsächlich mit seinem Halsabschnitt im obersten Rohrabschnitt.According to a further preferred embodiment, the insert is arranged and fastened with its neck section in the uppermost pipe section, e.g. pressed, glued, or mechanically connected in the uppermost pipe section. The head portion of the insert is located in the axial recess of the handle body. The handle body can additionally be glued or pressed onto this head section of the insert. However, the attachment of the insert takes place mainly with its neck section in the uppermost pipe section.
Der Einsatz weist vorzugsweise einen Absatz zwischen dem durchmessergrösseren Kopfabschnitt und dem durchmesserkleineren Halsabschnitt auf. Dieser Absatz dient als als oberer Abschlag für den obersten Rohrabschnitt.The insert preferably has a shoulder between the larger-diameter head portion and the smaller-diameter neck portion. This paragraph serves as the upper tee for the top section of pipe.
In einer alternativen bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Halsabschnitt des Einsatzes hülsenförmig ausgebildet, und der Einsatz wird bzw. ist auf den obersten Rohrabschnitt aufgeschoben. Das heisst, der Einsatz ist über das obere Ende des obersten Rohrabschnittes stülpbar oder wird bzw. ist darüber gestülpt. Der Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes weist auch in dieser Ausführungsform in seinem Hohlraum das Blockierelement auf, welches der Umlenkung und der Längenfixierung der Handschlaufe dient. Der Halsabschnitt ist in Form einer Hülse ausgebildet, welche zur Aufnahme des obersten Rohrabschnittes geeignet und ausgebildet ist. Der Innendurchmesser der Hülse ist vorzugsweise nur unmittelbar grösser als der Aussendurchmesser des obersten Rohrabschnittes. Der Einsatz kann in dieser Ausführungsform entweder vor der Montage des Griffkörpers oder als Baugruppe mit darauf befestigtem Griffkörper bzw. darauf befestigter Griffhülse auf den obersten Rohrabschnitt aufgeschoben werden und vorzugsweise daran befestigt sein. Die Befestigung des Griffkörpers am Einsatz erfolgt vorzugsweise durch Aufkleben. Die Befestigung des obersten Rohrabschnittes im Halsabschnitt des Einsatzes erfolgt hier vorzugsweise durch Aufpressen oder Aufkleben. Die Länge des Einsatzes erstreckt sich in dieser bevorzugten hülsenförmigen Ausführungsform vorzugsweise über einen grossen Teil der Länge des Griffkörpers, bzw. vom horizontalen ersten Abschnitt der Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers bis zum unteren Ende des Griffkörpers innerhalb und entlang der gesamten Länge des axialen zweiten Abschnitts der Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers. Zwischen dem Kopfabschnitt und dem Halsabschnitt ist gemäss einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform eine quer zur Stocklängsachse und sich im Wesentlichen in radialer Richtung erstreckende Trennwand angeordnet, welche einen Hohlraum im Einsatz nach unten hin begrenzt, oder in eine obere zentrale Ausnehmung und eine untere zentrale Ausnehmung trennt, bzw. welche den Boden der oberen zentralen Ausnehmung bildet. Diese Trennwand bildet vorzugsweise im Bereich des Absatzes die Auflagefläche für den unteren Schlaufenabschnitt, gegen welche der untere Schlaufenabschnitt in der Blockierstellung gepresst wird.In an alternative preferred embodiment, the neck section of the insert is designed in the form of a sleeve, and the insert is pushed onto the uppermost pipe section. This means that the insert can be slipped over the upper end of the uppermost pipe section or is or is slipped over it. In this embodiment, too, the head section of the insert has the blocking element in its hollow space, which serves to deflect and fix the length of the hand strap. The neck portion is in the form of a sleeve adapted and configured to receive the top tube portion. The inside diameter of the sleeve is preferably only directly larger than the outside diameter of the uppermost pipe section. In this embodiment, the insert can be installed either before assembly of the handle body or as The assembly with the handle body or handle sleeve attached thereto can be pushed onto the uppermost pipe section and preferably attached thereto. The handle body is preferably attached to the insert by gluing. The attachment of the uppermost pipe section in the neck section of the insert is preferably carried out here by pressing or gluing. In this preferred sleeve-shaped embodiment, the length of the insert preferably extends over a large part of the length of the handle body, or from the horizontal first section 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 section of the recess of the handle body. According to a further preferred embodiment, between the head section and the neck section there is a partition wall which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the stick and extends essentially in the radial direction, which delimits a cavity at the bottom or divides it into an upper central recess and a lower central recess. or which forms the bottom of the upper central recess. This partition preferably forms the support surface for the lower loop section in the area of the shoulder, against which the lower loop section is pressed in the blocking position.
In der Ausführungsform, in welcher der Einsatz zur Aufnahme der obersten Rohrhülse ausgebildet ist, findet der oberste Rohrabschnitt einen oberen Anschlag am inneren oberen Ende des hülsenförmig ausgebildeten Halsabschnittes des Einsatzes. Dieser kann in Form der erwähnten Trennwand oder beispielsweise als in Bezug auf den Halsabschnitt durchmesserkleinerer Hülsenabschnitt, welcher die Begrenzung zum Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes bildet, ausgestaltet sein. Der obere Anschlag für den obersten Rohrabschnitt kann somit auch durch einen umlaufenden radialen Absatz gebildet sein, welcher zwischen Kopfabschnitt und Halsabschnitt des Einsatzes angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise sind der Kopfabschnitt und der Halsabschnitt des Einsatzes gemäss dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform einstückig ausgebildet.In the embodiment in which the insert is designed to receive the uppermost tubular sleeve, the uppermost tubular section finds an upper stop at the inner upper end of the sleeve-shaped neck portion of the insert. This can be designed in the form of the partition wall mentioned or, for example, as a sleeve section with a smaller diameter than the neck section, which forms the boundary to the head section of the insert. 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 formed in one piece.
Der Einsatz ist vorzugsweise mindestens teilweise, vorzugsweise ganz aus Metall ausgebildet, beispielsweise aus Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung. Alternativ dazu kann der Einsatz aber auch teilweise oder ganz aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus einem Hartkunststoff gebildet sein, vorzugsweise aus PC, PP, Polyamid, oder ABS, gegebenenfalls in faserverstärkter Form.The insert is preferably made at least partially, preferably entirely, of metal, for example aluminum or an aluminum alloy. As an alternative to this, the insert can also be made partially or entirely of plastic, in particular of a hard plastic, preferably of PC, PP, polyamide or ABS, optionally in a fiber-reinforced form.
Die Gesamtlänge des Einsatzes, gemessen entlang seiner Längsachse, bzw. in eingesetztem Zustand entlang der Stocklängsachse, bzw. der Längsachse des Griffkörpers, beträgt vorzugsweise 20-70 mm, insbesondere bevorzugt 30-60 mm. Dabei weist der von oben in den obersten Rohrabschnitt hineinragende Halsabschnitt vorzugsweise eine Länge von 10-40 mm, insbesondere bevorzugt von 20-30 mm auf. Vorzugsweise ist der Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes länger ausgebildet als der Halsabschnitt, alternativ ist aber auch ein umgekehrtes Verhältnis der Länge des Kopfabschnittes zur Länge des Halsabschnittes möglich, oder dass beide Abschnitte im Wesentlichen gleich lang sind.The overall length of the insert, measured along its longitudinal axis, or when inserted State along the longitudinal axis of the stick or the longitudinal axis of the grip body is preferably 20-70 mm, particularly preferably 30-60 mm. The neck section projecting from above into the uppermost pipe section preferably has a length of 10-40 mm, particularly preferably 20-30 mm. The head section of the insert is preferably longer than the neck section, but alternatively an inverse ratio of the length of the head section to the length of the neck section is also possible, or that both sections are essentially of the same length.
Der Aussendurchmesser des Einsatzes beträgt im Kopfabschnitt vorzugsweise 12-22 mm, insbesondere bevorzugt 14-18 mm. Der Aussendurchmesser des Halsabschnittes des Einsatzes beträgt vorzugsweise 10-20 mm, insbesondere bevorzugt 12-16 mm (.The outer diameter of the insert in the head section is preferably 12-22 mm, particularly preferably 14-18 mm. The outside diameter of the neck portion of the insert is preferably 10-20 mm, more preferably 12-16 mm (.
Der Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes findet vorzugsweise einen oberen Anschlag an einer die zweite, axiale Ausnehmung begrenzenden oberen Wandung im Inneren des Kopfabschnittes des Griffkörpers. Die Dimensionen der Ausnehmung bzw. Bohrung des Griffkörpers für den Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes ist auf die Dimensionen des Einsatzes abgestimmt.The head section of the insert preferably finds an upper stop on an upper wall delimiting the second, axial recess in the interior of the head section of the handle body. The dimensions of the recess or bore of the handle body for the head section of the insert is matched to the dimensions of the insert.
Das obere, erste Ende der Handschlaufe ist erfindungsgemäss an oder in einer oberen Wandung des Einsatzes mittels eines Befestigungselements in Form einer Schraube befestigt. Dabei ragt das Befestigungselement in einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform in eine vorzugsweise axiale zentrale Ausnehmung oder Bohrung in der oberen Wandung des Kopfabschnittes des Einsatzes hinein. Dabei weist die axiale zentrale Ausnehmung oder Bohrung vorzugsweise ein Innengewinde auf.According to the invention, the upper, first end of the hand strap is attached to or in an upper wall of the insert by means of an attachment element in the form of a screw. 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. The axial central recess or bore preferably has an internal thread.
Der mit dem freien unteren zweiten Ende aus dem Griffkörper heraustretende untere Schlaufenabschnitt ist bei dem erfindungsgemässen Stockgriff unmittelbar unter dem in den Griffkörper eintretenden mittleren Schlaufenabschnitt angeordnet.In the stick grip according to the invention, the lower loop section protruding from the grip body with the free lower second end is arranged directly below the central loop section entering the grip body.
Beim Umlenkelement handelt es sich in einem weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel um einen Stift, welcher im Wesentlichen horizontal im Kopfabschnitt des Einsatzes und im Wesentlichen quer zu einer Längsachse des Griffkörpers bzw. des daran befestigten Stocks angeordnet ist. Der Stift ist vorzugsweise in einer seitlichen Wandung im Bereich des Kopfabschnittes des Einsatzes in entsprechenden einander gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen im Einsatz gehaltert bzw. gelagert, wobei mindestens eine dieser beiden Ausnehmungen auf der einen Seite durchgängig ausgebildet ist, so dass der Stift von aussen eingeschoben und so im Einsatz bzw. im Griffkörper befestigt werden kann. Dies erleichtert einerseits die Herstellung des Einsatzes als separates Bauteil, welches bei der Erstmontage oder zwecks Auswechslung in den Griffkopf eingesetzt werden kann, und ermöglicht andererseits im Falle der Abnützung des Blockierelements oder der Handschlaufe den Ersatz des Stiftes, des Blockierelements oder der Handschlaufe. Der Querstift, welcher der Handschlaufe als Umlenkelement dient, durchragt somit eine obere zentrale Ausnehmung des Einsatzes in einer Richtung quer zur Stocklängsachse und quer zu einer Richtung, in welcher der mittlere Schlaufenabschnitt in den horizontalen Abschnitt der Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers eingeführt wird.In a further preferred exemplary embodiment, the deflection element is a pin which is arranged essentially horizontally in the head section of the insert and essentially transversely to a longitudinal axis of the grip body or the stick attached thereto. The pin is preferably held or mounted in a lateral wall in the region of the head section of the insert in corresponding opposite recesses or bores in the insert, with at least one of these two recesses being continuous on one side, so that the Pen can be pushed in from the outside and thus fixed in use or in the grip body. On the one hand, this facilitates the production of the insert as a separate component, which can be inserted into the handle head during initial assembly or for the purpose of replacement, and, on the other hand, it enables the pin, the blocking element or the hand strap to be replaced if the blocking element or the hand strap is worn out. The transverse pin, which serves as a deflection element for the hand strap, thus protrudes through an upper central recess of the insert in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pole and transverse to a direction in which the central loop section is inserted into the horizontal section of the recess in the grip body.
Der Stift bzw. Querstift kann dabei einen kreisrunden Querschnitt besitzen, es ist aber beispielsweise zur Erhöhung der Reibung auch möglich, eine andere Querschnittsform vorzusehen, beispielsweise eine quadratische, rechteckige, oder polygonale Querschnittsform.The pin or transverse pin can have a circular cross-section, but it is also possible, for example to increase friction, to provide a different cross-sectional shape, for example a square, rectangular or polygonal cross-sectional shape.
Vorzugsweise ist das Blockierelement an dem als Querstift ausgebildeten Umlenkelement drehbar oder fix befestigt. Somit ist auch das Blockierelement vorzugsweise in einer oberen zentralen Ausnehmung des Einsatzes, d.h. im Kopfbereich des Einsatzes, angeordnet.The blocking element is preferably rotatably or fixedly fastened to the deflection element designed as a transverse pin. Thus, the blocking element is also preferably arranged in an upper central recess of the insert, i.e. in the head area of the insert.
Das Blockierelement ist in einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform rotierbar oder schwenkbar um das Umlenkelement bzw. den Querstift gelagert. Der Querstift ist entlang der Drehachse bzw. Rotationsachse des Blockierelements angeordnet, und das Blockierelement dreht sich somit um den Querstift. Somit wird vorzugsweise der in den Griffkörper eintretende mittlere Schlaufenabschnitt um den Querstift herumgeführt, und unterhalb mit dem zweiten freien unteren Ende im Bereich des horizontalen ersten Abschnittes der Ausnehmung aus dem Griffkörper herausgeführt. Alternativ kann das Blockierelement mit dem Querstift fest verbunden sein, wobei der Querstift in den einander sich gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen des Einsatzes drehbar angeordnet ist.In a further preferred embodiment, the blocking element is rotatably or pivotably mounted about the deflection element or the transverse pin. The cross pin is arranged along the axis of rotation of the blocking element, and the blocking element thus rotates about the cross pin. Thus, the middle loop section entering the handle body is preferably guided around the transverse pin and led out below with the second free lower end in the area of the horizontal first section of the recess from the handle body. Alternatively, the blocking element can be fixedly connected to the transverse pin, the transverse pin being rotatably arranged in the opposing recesses or bores of the insert.
Eine weiter bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Blockierelement über einen nach unten abgewinkelten bzw. nach unten gerichteten Bereich verfügt, welcher in Blockierstellung auf den zum freien, unteren, zweiten Ende aus dem Griffkörper heraustretenden unteren Schlaufenabschnitt gepresst wird. Entgegen dem Stockgriff der
Das Blockierelement verfügt vorzugsweise über einen Umlenkabschnitt, der aussenseitig über einen Umgreifwinkel von mindestens 120 Grad, vorzugsweise mindestens 160 Grad vom mittleren Schlaufenabschnitt umgriffen wird. An den Umlenkabschnitt schliesst sich vorzugsweise ein gerader Abschnitt an. Am Ende des geraden Abschnittes, bzw. Schenkels, welches dem Stift abgewandt ist, bzw. welches zur Öffnung der Ausnehmung an der Hinterseite des Stockgriffs hin gerichtet ist, ist vorzugsweise der oben erwähnte, nach unten abgewinkelte bzw. nach unten gerichtete Bereich angeordnet.The blocking element preferably has a deflection section which is encompassed on the outside by the middle loop section over an angle of at least 120 degrees, preferably at least 160 degrees. A straight section preferably follows the deflection section. At the end of the straight section or leg, which faces away from the pin or which is directed towards the opening of the recess on the rear side of the pole grip, the above-mentioned downwardly angled or downwardly directed area is preferably arranged.
Der nach unten abgewinkelte Bereich des Blockierelements ist um einen Winkel von 70-120 Grad von dem geraden Abschnitt bzw. Schenkel abgewinkelt.The downwardly angled portion of the locking member is angled at an angle of 70-120 degrees from the straight portion or leg.
Der gerade Abschnitt und der nach unten abgewinkelte Bereich des Blockierelements weisen vorzugsweise jeweils eine Länge resp. Höhe auf, sodass bei nach unten gerichteter Handschlaufe der in die Ausnehmung des Griffkörpers eintretende mittlere Schlaufenabschnitt den nach unten abgewinkelten Bereich des Blockierelements nach unten auf den zum freien Ende aus dem Griffkörper austretenden unteren Schlaufenabschnitt zieht. Der nach unten gerichtete Zug an der Handschlaufe bewirkt nämlich einen Zug am Umlenkabschnitt des Blockierelements, was zu einer Rotation des Blockierelements führt und einer daraus resultierenden Krafteinwirkung des nach unten abgewinkelten Bereichs des Blockierelements auf den unteren Schlaufenabschnitt. Es ist von besonderem Vorteil, wenn der nach unten abgewinkelte Bereich des Blockierelements an seiner unteren Seite eine nach unten gerichtete Zahnung, bzw. vorzugsweise mindestens einen nach unten gerichteten Zahn oder eine durchlaufende Klemmkante aufweist. Dies erhöht die Reibung zwischen dem Blockierelement und dem unteren Schlaufenabschnitt, da sich die nach unten gerichteten Zähne auf dem Schlaufenband festklemmen, wenn das Blockierelement nach unten gelenkt ist. Ausserdem wird durch die Zähne der Druck auf Schlaufenband erhöht und damit die Haltekraft verbessert.The straight section and the downwardly angled area of the blocking element preferably each have a length, respectively. Height, so that when the hand strap is directed downwards, the middle loop section entering the recess of the grip body pulls the downwardly angled area of the blocking element down onto the lower loop section emerging from the free end of the grip body. The downward pull on the hand strap causes a pull on the deflection section of the blocking element, which leads to a rotation of the blocking element and a resulting force of the downwardly angled area of the blocking element acting on the lower loop section. It is of particular advantage if the downwardly angled area of the blocking element has downwardly directed teeth on its lower side, 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 onto the loop band when the blocking element is steered downwards. In addition, the pressure on the loop strap is increased by the teeth and thus the holding power is improved.
Das Blockierelement wird bei einer Abwärtsbewegung der Handschlaufe bzw. unter Zug an der Handschlaufe nach unten hin, zwecks Blockierung des unteren Schlaufenabschnittes, nach unten hin um das Umlenkelement geschwenkt. Umgekehrt wird, bei einer Bewegung der Handschlaufe nach oben, zwecks Einstellbarkeit der Handschlaufenlänge, das Blockierelement nach oben hin um das Umlenkelement geschwenkt, unter Freigabe des unteren Schlaufenabschnittes, da der abgewinkelte Bereich bzw. der abgewinkelte Bereich des Blockierelements vom unteren Schlaufenabschnitt entweder abgehoben oder der untere Schlaufenabschnitt zumindest druckentlastet wird. Das Blockierelement wird durch Zugbelastung nach unten in der Blockierposition gehalten. Vorzugsweise wird erst bei gezielter Auslenkung der Handschlaufe in eine waagrechte Position, und insbesondere bei einer Bewegung der Handschlaufe nach oben eine Einstellbarkeit der Handschlaufenlänge erlaubt.During a downward movement of the hand strap or when the hand strap is pulled downwards, the blocking element is pivoted downwards around the deflection element for the purpose of blocking the lower loop section. Conversely, when the hand strap is moved upwards for the purpose of adjusting the length of the hand strap, the blocking element is pivoted upwards around the deflection element, releasing the lower loop section, since the angled area or the angled area of the blocking element is separated from the lower loop section either lifted off or the lower loop section is at least relieved of pressure. The blocking element is held in the blocking position by downward tensile loading. Adjustability of the length of the hand strap is preferably only permitted when the hand strap is deliberately deflected into a horizontal position, and in particular when the hand strap is moved upwards.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren einen Stock, insbesondere Gehstock, Trekkingstock, Alpinskistock, Langlaufskistock, oder Nordic-Walking Stock, welcher einen Stockgriff nach einem der oben beschriebenen Ausführungsformen aufweist.The present invention also relates to a stick, in particular a walking stick, trekking stick, alpine ski stick, cross-country ski stick or Nordic walking stick, which has a stick handle according to one of the embodiments described above.

Zudem weist der Griffkopf 4a des Griffkörpers 4 eine Ausnehmung 6 auf, welche zur Hinterseite des Stockgriffs 1 hin, in Bezug auf die Laufrichtung V gesehen, d.h. auf der Seite des Benutzers, wo die Handschlaufe in den Griffkopf 4a eintritt, bzw. aus dem Griffkopf 4a austritt, offen ausgebildet ist. Diese im Wesentlichen horizontale Ausnehmung 6 mündet in die zentrale axiale Ausnehmung 21 für das Stockrohr, bzw. den obersten Rohrabschnitt 3 eines Stockrohrs.In addition, the

Die Handschlaufe 2 kann durch diese Öffnung in die Ausnehmung 6 des Griffkopfes 4a und weiter in die zentrale Ausnehmung 8a des Kopfabschnittes 7a des Einsatzes 7 hineinragen.The
Ein in Umfangsrichtung U1 des Einsatzes 7 umlaufender Absatz 15 am Übergang vom unteren Halsabschnitt 7b zum oberen Kopfabschnitt 7a des Einsatzes 7 bildet einen oberen Anschlag für das Stockrohr. Dabei ist die umlaufende untere Kante 16 am Absatz 15 abgeschrägt ausgebildet, ebenso die untere umlaufende Kante 17 des Halsabschnittes 7b des Einsatzes 7, wie in
Zwischen dem Kopfabschnitt 7a und dem Halsabschnitt 7b des Einsatzes 7, bzw. zwischen der oberen zentralen Ausnehmung 8a und der unteren zentralen Ausnehmung 8b des Einsatzes gemäss des Ausführungsbeispiels von
Im Kopfabschnitt 7a des Einsatzes 7 ist ein Blockierelement 10 rotierbar bzw. verschwenkbar um eine Drehachse gelagert, welche quer zur Stocklängsachse L bzw. zur Längsachse des Stockgriffs 1 und quer zur Laufrichtung V und im Wesentlichen horizontal angeordnet ist. Entlang der Drehachse ist ein Stift bzw. Querstift 11 angeordnet, um welchen herum das Blockierelement 10 schwenkbar angeordnet ist. Der Kopfabschnitt 7a weist in seiner Seitenwandung bzw. in der Mantelfläche auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils eine Durchgangsbohrung bzw. mindestens einseitig offene Ausnehmung auf, durch welche jeweils ein Ende des Querstifts 11 hineinragt.In the
Das Blockierelement 10, welches flügelähnlich ausgebildet ist, weist einen Umlenkabschnitt 10a auf, sowie einen daran anschliessenden Schenkel bzw. geraden Abschnitt 10b, gefolgt von einem abgewinkelten Bereich 10c. Dieser abgewinkelte Bereich 10c weist an seiner Unterseite kleine, nach unten gerichtete Zähnchen 12 bzw. eine Zahnung oder eine durchlaufende Klemmkante auf, um die Reibkraft bzw. die Blockierkraft des Blockierelements 10 auf den unteren Schlaufenabschnitt 2e zu erhöhen.The blocking
Sowohl der Umlenkabschnitt 10a, als auch der gerade Abschnitt 10b und der abgewinkelte Bereich 10c erstrecken sich über den gesamten Innendurchmesser des Kopfabschnittes 7a des Einsatzes 7, bzw. durchragt die obere zentrale Ausnehmung des Einsatzes 7 in einer Richtung parallel zu einer Längsachse des Querstiftes 11, bzw. in einer Richtung quer zur Stocklängsachse L.Both the
Der Stift bzw. Querstift 11 dient gleichzeitig als Umlenkelement für den mittleren Schlaufenabschnitt 2d der Handschlaufe 2 im Inneren des Griffkopfes 4a, bzw. im Inneren der oberen zentralen Ausnehmung 8a des Einsatzes 7.The pin or
Die Handschlaufe 2 weist ein Schlaufenband mit zwei freien Enden 2a, 2b auf, wovon ein oberes erstes Ende 2a mittels eines Befestigungselements 13 in einer oberen Wandung 7f des Einsatzes 7 befestigt ist. Zur Befestigung weist die obere Wandung 7f des Kopfabschnittes 7a des Einsatzes 7 eine axiale zentrale Ausnehmung oder Bohrung 14 auf. Das obere erste Ende 2a der Handschlaufe 2 erfolgt durch das Einführen des Befestigungselements 13 in Form einer Schraube in diese zentrale Ausnehmung oder Bohrung 14.The
Ausgehend vom befestigten oberen ersten Ende 2a verläuft das Schlaufenband durch die im Wesentlichen horizontale Ausnehmung des Griffkopfes 4a in Bezug auf die Laufrichtung V gesehen nach hinten und tritt an der Hinterseite des Stockgriffs 1 aus dem Griffkopf 4a aus. Von dort bildet das Schlaufenband eine Handschlaufe 2, welche die Hand des Benutzers umschliesst, und tritt dann mit einem mittleren Schlaufenabschnitt 2d wieder in die Ausnehmung 6 des Griffkopfes 4a ein. Dort tritt es dann in die obere zentrale Ausnehmung 8a des Einsatzes 7 ein und wird um den im Wesentlichen horizontal im Einsatz 7 gelagerten Stift bzw. Querstift 11, bzw. um den am Querstift 11 rotierbar angelenkten Blockierelement 10 umgelenkt. Nach der Umlenkung liegt der nun untere Schlaufenabschnitt 2e zunächst auf der wenigstens bereichsweise durch die Trennwand 9 gebildeten Auflagefläche 20 auf, bevor der untere Schlaufenabschnitt 2e den Griffkopf 4a durch die Ausnehmung 6 wieder nach hinten hin verlässt. Das untere freie zweite Ende 2b des Schlaufenbandes hängt frei nach unten und ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel umgelenkt ausgebildet.Starting from the fastened upper
Der abgewinkelte Bereich 10c des Blockierelements 10 presst den unteren Schlaufenabschnitt 2e im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel auf die Trennwand 9, bzw. auf die Auflagefläche 20 im Bereich des Absatzes 15 zwischen dem Kopfabschnitt 7a und dem Halsabschnitt 7b des Einsatzes 7. Die Druckstelle befindet sich im Bereich der Seitenwandung bzw. der Mantelfläche am unteren Ende des Kopfabschnittes 7a des Einsatzes 7, unmittelbar vor der Kontaktstelle zwischen dem Einsatz und der hinteren Wandung des Griffkörpers 4 am unteren Ende des radialen ersten Abschnittes 6a der Ausnehmung 6.The

Wird, wie in den Figuren aber nicht dargestellt, die Handschlaufe 2 nach unten gerichtet, wie dies typischerweise beim Gebrauch des Stockes der Fall ist, bzw. bei Zug der Handschlaufe 2 nach unten, zieht der mittlere Schlaufenabschnitt 2d in Uhrzeigerrichtung U2 am Umlenkabschnitt 10a des Blockierelements 10. Durch den Zug auf den mittleren Schlaufenabschnitt 2d wird somit aufgrund der Umschliessung des Umlenkabschnittes 10a des Blockierelements 10 durch den mittleren Schlaufenabschnitt 2d das Blockierelement 10 um den Querstift 11 bzw. um die Drehachse rotiert. Dadurch wird der abgewinkelte Bereich 10c des Blockierelements 10 auf den unteren Schlaufenabschnitt 2e gepresst, welcher dadurch wiederum auf die Auflagefläche 20 im Bereich der Seitenwandung im Bereich des Absatzes 15 des Einsatzes 7 gepresst wird. Dadurch wird die Länge der Handschlaufe 2 fixiert und die Einstellbarkeit der Länge in dieser Position verhindert. Die Zahnung 12 oder Spitzen an der Unterseite des abgewinkelten Bereichs 10c erhöhen hier die Reibkraft bzw. die Blockierwirkung.If, as is not shown in the figures, the
Wird die Handschlaufe 2 in horizontaler oder nach oben gerichteter Position gehalten, so ist das Blockierelement 10 locker schwenkbar und übt keinen Druck auf den darunter liegenden unteren Schlaufenabschnitt 2e aus. Entsprechend kann die Länge der Handschlaufe 2 in dieser Position verstellt werden, mit anderen Worten kann die Handschlaufe 2 über ein Ziehen am zweiten freien Ende 2b verkleinert werden, oder über ein Ziehen am in den Griffkörper 4 eintretenden mittleren Schlaufenabschnitt 2d verlängert werden. Ausserdem kann die Länge der Handschlaufe 2 bei nach oben gerichteter Position der Handschlaufe 2 in jedem Fall vergrössert werden, was automatisch eine Sicherheit im Falle eines Sturzes oder eines Hängenbleibens des Stockes ergibt.If the
