Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a stick grip, in particular for walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country skiing sticks, Nordic walking sticks. The stick grip has a grip body with a hook-like device for fastening a hand holding device, in particular in the form of a hand strap or a glove. The present invention further relates to a stick with such a stick grip and a method for assembling such a stick grip.

STATE OF THE ART

In such a device, which for example from the U.S. 5,516,150 is known, a hook is provided on the stick handle, and a rigid bow-shaped device formed from a rigid metal arc is provided on the associated glove in the area between the thumb and forefinger. The bracket is inserted with its long straight leg into a narrow slot in the hook, and the bracket and thus the glove are fixed to the handle of the pole via the hook-like device.

A slight expansion of the slot is provided in the hook at the bottom, which means that the bracket initially presses the two legs of the hook slightly apart when it enters the hook (material deformation) and that the legs only when the bracket is pushed into the expansion find its way back to its original position.

An elastic deformation of the hook-like device is thus used to ensure easy fixation of the bracket in the hook and to prevent the bracket from simply slipping out of the hook.

From the U.S. 5,110,154 A stick grip is known in which the connection between the stick grip and a hand holding device is established by inserting a rigid ring or bracket attached to the hand holding device into a recess in the form of a horizontal slot arranged in the surface of the grip facing the hand holding device can be. This slot is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the handle and must be narrow for good attachment be designed, it is correspondingly laborious to introduce the hand-holding device or the rigid bracket attached to it for attachment to the stick handle in this slot. For this purpose, the bracket must be precisely positioned relative to the slot, which is impractical in practice.

From the WO2006 / 066423 a stick handle is known, in particular for walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country skiing sticks, Nordic walking sticks, with a handle body and with a hook-like device for fastening a hand-holding device, in particular in the form of a hand strap or a glove. Latching means are arranged in the area of the hook-like device in such a way that a loop, ring or eyelet-shaped device inserted into the hook-like device from above and provided on the hand-holding device is fixed in the hook-like device in a self-locking manner. To remove the loop, ring or eyelet-shaped device from the hook-like device, a push button is provided in the handle head with which the latching means can be shifted or rotated so that they release the previously enclosed area and the device can be removed upwards again. This self-locking mechanism with a release mechanism makes handling easier, but it is relatively complex and not appropriate for all target groups.

From the WO2007 / 090310 a similar stick handle is known, but here the device for self-engaging attachment comprises at least one recess for receiving a coupling element provided on the hand-holding device, particularly preferably in the form of a bracket or a loop, the device having a clamping element and the recess of the device in a The insertion position of the clamping element is exposed in such a way that the coupling element of a hand-holding device not connected to the stick handle can be inserted into this recess, and the device can be brought into a locking position by tilting or sliding the clamping element in which the recess is closed and the coupling element is in the recess is trapped. Further handle constructions of a different kind are known from the following documents: JP S53 78174 U , WO 2016/037940 , EP 2 046 158 ; EP 3 050 603 ; EP 1 970 105 ; US 2013/140803 .

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved stick grip, in particular for walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country skiing sticks, Nordic walking sticks. The stick grip should be improved, in particular with regard to operational safety, d. H. the risk of injury to the user, e.g. in the event of a fall, without restricting the actual functionality when used as intended without a fall situation or the like.

This object is achieved by the stick grip defined in claim 1.

The present stick grip has a grip body and a hook-like device for fastening a hand-holding device, in particular in the form of a hand loop or a glove. Slidable latching means are arranged in the area of the hook-like device in such a way that a loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eyelet-shaped device, which is essentially inserted into the hook-like device from above and which is provided on the hand-held device, is fixed in the hook-like device in a self-locking manner. Typically, the hook-like device is arranged on the stick handle on the hand side in the upper area.

The hook-like device comprises a retaining mandrel or retaining pin, which is offset from the handle body with the formation of an upwardly open insertion slot on the hand side or is arranged as an incision in the handle body. The latching means are typically designed in the form of a retaining lug which, in the clamped position, defines a downwardly restricted area for the loop, ring or eyelet-shaped device.

In particular, such a stick grip is now characterized according to the invention in that an upper area of the retaining mandrel or retaining pin or the entire retaining mandrel or retaining pin, viewed in the running direction, can be deflected laterally against a restoring force on both sides.

In a typical fall situation, there is a lateral load at the attachment point of the hand holding device on the stick handle, sometimes also in the sense of a rotary movement. Specifically, for example, the stick is let go in the event of a fall and the hand is supported on the floor, with the stick coming to lie laterally under or next to the hand. As a result, a load is not exerted downwards in relation to the retaining mandrel or retaining pin, as is the case with intended use, but instead a lateral load or, to a certain extent, a rotary movement takes place. To with such a Rotary movement or lateral load to release the connection between the hand-holding device in the sense of a safety release and to reduce the risk of injury, without at the same time also facilitating such an unintentional release when used as intended, ie loading the hand strap downwards, it is possible, as proposed according to the invention, the Design the retaining pin or retaining pin according to the identifying part.

The proposed solution is on the one hand suitable in terms of functionality, but on the other hand it is also sufficiently simple to be technically implemented with reasonable effort. In addition, the technical solution is able to take into account the different conditions for intended use without restricting functionality. Especially in the alpine area, stick handles of this type are used at very different temperatures, for example in a temperature window of -30 ° C - +30 ° C, and the proposed solution makes it possible, among other things, to adjust the release force of the safety mechanism so that it is essentially temperature-independent . It is also possible to prevent, for example, incoming snow or incoming water, which then freezes, from restricting the functionality.

A first preferred embodiment of the proposed stick handle is characterized in that the holding mandrel is attached to a mandrel block or molded onto it, and the mandrel block is mounted directly or indirectly on the handle body so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation against a force or restoring force, the axis of rotation being essentially perpendicular is aligned to the pole axis and essentially in the running direction. The axis of rotation does not have to be arranged exactly perpendicular to the pole axis and parallel to the running direction. Typically, it is preferably essentially arranged exactly parallel to the plane spanned through the running direction and the pole axis, or arranged in this, but it can also be slightly inclined, for example, with the pole axis at an angle in the range of 70-110 °, preferably in the range from 80-100 ° included.

Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that the axis of rotation is arranged below the area for the loop, ring or eyelet-shaped device, in particular preferably 2-25 mm, or 10-15 mm or 5-12 mm below this area. This ensures the optimal leverage for the mechanism of the safety release, and the entire construction is trouble-free and with the

Handling of the handle barely noticeable housed in the ideal place.

The mandrel block can comprise an upper area formed by the retaining mandrel and a lower area, the lower area having a front surface (directed in the direction of travel) in contact with a contact surface on the handle body or on a holding block (which is typically mounted in or on the handle body) lies. Furthermore, an axis passing through these surfaces can preferably be provided. In the event of a lateral deflection of the mandrel block, these surfaces preferably slide against one another at least during a portion of the rotational movement of the block which is carried out when it is triggered. The axial length of the lower area is preferably at least as great as the axial length of the upper area formed by the retaining mandrel, in particular preferably 1-2 times as great. In order to control the rotational movement or to adjust the balance of forces, it is possible to structure the surfaces lying against each other in such a way that the surfaces slide against each other only in a first phase of the rotation, and after a certain deflection angle has been reached, a further rotation is only possible if the The mandrel block has additionally been shifted outwards from a corresponding recess in the handle body essentially along the axis of rotation.

A horizontal first through opening in the running direction can be provided in the handle body or in the holding block and a coaxial second through opening in the mandrel block, and a fastening pin / screw can be arranged as the axis of rotation through the first and second through opening at least partially in order to technically realize such a rotation . A contact surface on the grip body or on the holding block and a front contact surface on the mandrel block can have corresponding latching contours which, via at least a partial form fit, specify a basic position in which the holding mandrel is arranged vertically (ie essentially parallel to the pole axis) and which only deflects laterally enable after reaching a release force. A maximum lateral stop is preferably also provided for the rotation.

The fastening pin can furthermore preferably be fastened in the mandrel block, for example by being pressed in, glued in, screwed in or a combination thereof. A free end of the fastening pin facing the handle body and protruding beyond the mandrel block can, according to a further preferred embodiment, pass through the first through opening and into one behind it Extension area inside the handle head can be locked against axial displacement via a fastening element. The fastening pin can also be prevented from being displaced beyond the intended position by a corresponding shape, corresponding to the expansion area of the mandrel block. In this case, the fastening element preferably has an at least partially hollow-cylindrical area arranged in the first through opening, as well as an enlarged area lying behind it with a larger diameter than the diameter of the first through opening.

With such a construction, the fastening element can furthermore preferably be designed to be at least partially self-fixing when the fastening pin is inserted. It is also preferably possible for this fastening element to be designed as part of the mandrel block, for example as a hollow-cylindrical extension directed towards the handle head with one or a plurality of axial slots, the free ends of the axial segments formed thereby via outwardly directed flange -Segments have. If, with such a construction, the mandrel block is pushed into the opening in the handle head to a certain extent, these flange segments can flexibly move inward and the mandrel block can be pushed in and fixed, and if the fastening pin is then pushed into the central opening, this fastening cannot be achieved loosen more without removing the fastening pin.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a fastening block can be arranged in a recess of the handle body above the holding block, in which the locking pin is slidably mounted and which fastening block is partially rotatably mounted in the recess against the force of a spring. The mandrel block is preferably rotatably mounted on the holding block, and the fastening block has a downwardly directed, preferably V-shaped expansion in the area facing the mandrel block. This engages in a, preferably also V-shaped, recess in the mandrel block, so that when the mandrel block is deflected to the side, the extension is shifted upwards and the fastening block is tilted against the force of the spring in the recess.

Thus, in such an embodiment, the mandrel block, holding block, fastening block and a release button which is also at least partially arranged in the recess, which is preferably arranged at the upper head end of the handle and used by the user controlled release of the loop can be actuated, designed as a connected unit, which is preferably prefabricated and inserted as a whole in the recess and can be fastened in this.

A horizontal first through opening in the running direction can be provided in the handle body and a coaxial blind hole opening in the mandrel block, and a tensioning pin can be arranged as the axis of rotation through the first and second opening at least partially. The tensioning pin can be designed to be movable out of the grip body against a spring force.

Furthermore, a contact surface on the handle body and a front contact surface on the mandrel block can have corresponding latching contours and / or also lateral boundary surfaces which, via a form fit, specify a basic position in which the retaining mandrel is arranged vertically and which only allow lateral deflection after a triggering force has been reached.

The latching contours can be provided, for example, in the form of depressions and corresponding elevations in the contact surfaces that are in contact in the basic position, preferably in the form of at least one dome-shaped elevation and corresponding dome-shaped depression. For example, these locking contours can be arranged vertically below or above the bracing pin. The tensioning pin can furthermore preferably be fastened in the blind hole opening via a fastening eyelet and a fastening pin, for example at least partially encompassed by a compression-loaded spiral spring on the area protruding into the handle body, wherein, for example, the spiral spring can rest on an extension arranged behind the first through opening, and can preferably be limited at the free end by a closure element.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a fastening block, in which the locking pin is displaceably mounted, is arranged in a recess of the handle body.

According to a further embodiment, the tensioning pin can pass through a through opening in a lower extension of the fastening block. According to another preferred embodiment, a lower area of the holding mandrel can be made of a substantially inflexible material on the handle body, and an upper area made of a flexible material which can be deflected against a restoring force, with the lower area preferably up to reaches vertically above the lowest point of the area for the attached loop / eyelet, preferably ends 1-3 mm above. For example, it is possible to design the lower area from a material that is essentially rigid at normal use temperatures, while the upper area, or at least a transition area between the lower area and the upper area, consists of a material that is flexible at normal use temperatures In other words, made of a material that allows the entire upper area of the holding pin to be deflected when the release force is applied. Alternatively, the flexibility of the retaining mandrel, for example in such a transition area, can also be produced by a flexurally elastic element, for example a leaf spring or a helical spring, for example made of spring steel, ie the flexible material can also be such a flexurally elastic element.

Typically, the material of the lower area has a greater Shore D hardness than the material of the upper area or the transition area. If there is a flexible transition area, the upper area can consist of a material of the same hardness as the lower area.

Such a stick grip with a flexible holding mandrel can preferably be characterized in that in the transition area between the lower area and the upper area the material of the lower area extends at least partially in the form of an enlargement extending along the direction of the holding mandrel into the upper area, and the material of the upper area encloses this extension at least partially, preferably completely circumferentially, the extension preferably also having a cylindrical, cuboid, with or without rounded edges, with or without additional extension at the free end, with or without serrations.

The safety mechanism is preferably designed in all spatial directions with the exception of the intended loading of the hand strap downwards. In other words, not only an upward safety release, which is already known from the prior art, and a safety release in the event of a lateral load as described above, but also a safety release to a certain extent to the rear when the hand strap is loaded, against the running direction. Another preferred embodiment is correspondingly characterized in that the holding mandrel is attached to a mandrel block or molded onto it, and the mandrel block is directly or indirectly on the handle body around a first The axis of rotation is rotatably mounted against a restoring force. This first axis of rotation is oriented essentially perpendicular to the pole axis and essentially in the running direction. According to this further aspect of the invention, the mandrel block is now additionally around a second axis of rotation, which is aligned essentially perpendicular to the stick axis and essentially perpendicular to the direction of travel, thus quasi transversely to the first axis of rotation, at an angle of at most 30 °, preferably at most 15 ° or tiltable by a maximum of 10 ° or 5 °.

The second axis of rotation is preferably arranged below the first axis of rotation. Furthermore, the restricted area for the loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eyelet-shaped device is preferably released during the tilting movement about the second axis of rotation, whereby this can be done at least partially by a displacement of the fastening block caused by the tilting movement with the locking pin held back. In particular, this can be technically implemented in such a way that when the hand strap and thus also the mandrel block are pulled backwards, the fastening block is also shifted slightly backwards, but at the same time the locking pin is held stationary by the release button or the setting provided therein, i.e. relative to the Fastening block is withdrawn, thereby releasing the restricted area for the loop, ring or eyelet-shaped device.

Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that in a recess of the handle body, which is preferably designed as a recess running in the running direction, so that the head area is formed laterally by the handle body, a separate fastening block with locking pin and guide for the locking pin is fastened, and preferably about an axis (preferably oriented perpendicular to the pole axis and perpendicular to the running direction) rotatable or pivotable, is attached. Furthermore, a release button can preferably be provided, preferably at the upper head end and to be actuated from above, with which either the fastening block as a whole can be tilted to release the loop and / or via a corresponding link on the release button and a cross pin preferably guided across the locking pin the locking pin can be pushed back into the interior of the mounting block to release the loop.

The hook-like device preferably comprises a holding mandrel or holding pin which is arranged essentially parallel to the pole axis and which is set off from the handle body with the formation of an insertion slot on the side of the hand or as a cut in the Handle body is arranged, the depth of the insertion slot is preferably greater than the width and the thickness of the retaining mandrel or retaining pin.

The hook-like device preferably has a width in the range of 3-15mm, preferably in the range of 4-8mm.

The hook-like device preferably has an essentially oval or lens-shaped cross section at least in sections perpendicular to the stick axis, the short main axis being directed towards the handle body.

The insertion slot has, for example, a depth in the range of 5-30 mm, preferably in the range of 10-15 mm.

The retaining lug is also preferably designed in the form of a locking pin, which is mounted displaceably in the handle head or in a fastening block mounted in the handle head and is oriented in the direction of travel, which is preferably oriented essentially horizontally or sloping in the direction of travel, the front area of the locking pin being on the area for the attached loop or eyelet facing underside has a concave recess, for example in the form of a horizontally and transversely to the running direction groove.

The cane handle can have a lower grip body area which forms a lower wraparound area of the cane handle and has a recess for a cane tube at the lower end, as well as a head area, the head area having a front extension, which in the front cane handle area is essentially stepless into the upper one The wraparound area passes over, the extension in the front pole grip area being formed with a protrusion protruding beyond the wraparound area in the running direction.

The protrusion is preferably more than 50% of an average extent of the wraparound area in the running direction. A cutting plane of the head area, which is spanned by a transverse axis of the head area arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis of the stick and transversely to the direction of travel (the transverse axis being located where the head region is widest measured transversely to the direction of movement and transversely to the longitudinal axis of the stick), and a foremost tip of the extension is, is preferably angled at an obtuse angle of in the range of 90-135 degrees from the longitudinal axis of the pole.

The head region preferably has a rounded contour in this cutting plane, the front section of which, facing the direction of travel, is preferably essentially defined by an arc of a first circle and the section opposite to the direction of travel The rear section is essentially defined by an arc of a second circle, the centers of which are offset from one another by an offset of 0.5-6 cm along the running direction, the radius of curvature of the first circle being smaller than the radius of curvature of the second circle in the rear pole grip area.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a stick, in particular a walking stick, trekking stick, alpine ski stick, cross-country skiing stick, or Nordic walking stick, with a stick handle as described above, a preferably one-piece or multi-part stick tube and a stick tip, alone or in Combination with a hand holding device, in particular in the form of a hand loop or a glove, with a loop, ring or eyelet-shaped device which is provided on the hand holding device.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Four different exemplary embodiments are shown in the figures: Figure 1 a first exemplary embodiment in which the mandrel block 26 with the holding mandrel 14 can be pivoted about a defined axis of rotation 73. In Figure 2 an embodiment in which such a mandrel block, when it is pivoted essentially about an analog axis, is at the same time also displaced to a certain extent out of the pole grip, in Figure 3 an embodiment in which the retaining mandrel as a whole does not tilt mechanically about an axis, but only the upper region of the retaining mandrel 14 can be elastically deformed / bent away, and into the Fig. 4 and 5 further exemplary embodiments in which the mandrel block 26 with the holding mandrel 14 can be pivoted about a defined axis of rotation 73.

In the various exemplary embodiments, analog components are denoted by the same reference symbols, in order to maintain clarity, not all reference symbols are given in all exemplary embodiments / figures.

With stick grip according to Figure 1 the stick handle 1 is provided with a blind hole provided from below in the form of a cavity 5 for the stick pipe 2. The handle body 3 has a recess 4 in the head region 31, in which a safety release for upward pulling is provided on a loop-shaped device 70 which is attached to a hand-holding device 69.

The loop-shaped device 70 is attached to the handle via the holding mandrel 14, which is arranged to a certain extent in a recess 16 in the handle body 3.

The retaining mandrel 14 is not formed in one piece with the handle body 3, but is part of a mandrel block 26 which rotates about an axis of rotation 73 as indicated by the arrow 72 in FIG Figure 1c shown can be deflected laterally when pulling on the loop.

In order to make this possible, the mandrel block 26 is provided with a through opening 28 which runs essentially parallel to the running direction 30. In the handle body 3 there is a through opening 34. In the area of the through opening 28, the mandrel block 26 also has a hollow cylindrical widening 33 which has axial slots and which at the end protruding through the through opening 34 into the handle head 3 has a virtually circumferential outwardly directed flange 42 has. However, there is no really circumferential flange 42, but only corresponding segments that are separated from one another by the four distributed slots 43a.

Correspondingly, the mandrel block 26 can be pressed into the opening 34 in the handle body 3 during assembly with the elements 33/42, the outwardly directed sections 42 being able to be deflected inward by the flexibility of the areas 33. If the outwardly directed regions 42 have passed through the through opening 34 into the inner cavity 51, they can again deflect radially outward elastically and then hook the mandrel block 26 in the opening 34.

In order to now definitely fasten the mandrel block 26 in the opening 34 in the handle body 3, a fastening pin 27 is inserted from the outside through the opening 28 in the mandrel block 26 until the inner end of this fastening pin 27 passes through the area 33. After this fastening pin 27 has been inserted, it is no longer possible to separate the fastening block 26 from the handle body 3 without removing the fastening pin 27 again.

In the head area 31 of the handle body 3, a fastening block 6 is arranged in the recess 4. This is rotatable about a transverse axis of rotation 11 in a direction perpendicular to the stick axis and perpendicular to the direction of travel.

This fastening block 6 is braced downwards via the bracing pin / eyebolt 22, which is fastened to the fastening block 6 via the transverse fastening pin 21. For this purpose, the tensioning pin 22 protrudes through a through opening 50 down into an axial receiving opening 51 and is there with a spiral spring 23, at the free end of which the locking nut 24, optionally provided with a spring locking element, is retained at the free end of the tensioning pin 22 .

In the mounting block 6, the locking pin 7 is also displaceable against the Restoring force of a spiral spring 13, mounted in a recess 8, is provided. The locking pin 7 is braced with its front tip 9 against the retaining mandrel 14, or strikes against a stop in the fastening block 6 at a slight distance from the retaining mandrel 14 in the rest position.

In the recess 4, a release button 18 is also provided, also rotatable about the axis 11, which is mounted in the axis hole 19. This release button 18 has, on the one hand, a round sliding surface 25, which corresponds to the sliding surface 17. On the other hand, this release button 18 has two link openings 77 on the side flanks. The transverse pin 20, which is arranged through a transverse opening in the locking pin, is caught in these link openings.

If the release button is now in the in Figure 1 (e) indicated illustration pressed from above, it deflects clockwise and thereby pivots on the one hand by the coming into contact surfaces 25/17 the mounting block slightly counterclockwise and on the other hand by the link 77 of the locking pin via the cross pin 20 against the spring force 13 inside the Fastening block 6 pushed in.

As a result, the area 15 that is captured by the front area 9 of the locking pin 7 in the idle state is opened, and the loop 70 that was previously captured in the area 15 can be removed upwards out of the slot through the area 71.

With such a handle head, there are now two safety release mechanisms:
One safety release mechanism can be activated or comes into action when the loop is pulled strongly upwards, i.e. against the locking pin 7, for example by the loop resting in the concave area 10 on the lower surface of the locking pin. If a strong pull is now exerted in this direction, the fastening block 6 in the illustration according to FIG. 1 is counter to the spring force of the spiral spring 23 Figure 1 (e) pivoted upward about the axis 11 in the counterclockwise direction, the tip 9 exposing the area 15.

A second safety mechanism against lateral loads is given by the fact that the entire mandrel block 26 as indicated by arrow 72 in Figure 1c ) shown, can be pivoted.

So that this takes place against a defined release force, there is, as in Figure 1f ) and i) -p), a front surface 36 of the mandrel block, which is in contact with a contact surface 37 on the handle head. A lower sliding surface 45 on the mandrel block 26 slides on a sliding surface 46 on the handle body. A step projecting into the handle body is now provided in the contact surface 37. At the zenith, this step has a latching groove 39 into which a corresponding projection 39a of the fastening block 6 engages in the central position. In addition, the projection 39a can protrude into an axial recess 40. On the mandrel block 26 there are two projections 41 for engaging the step of the surface 37. This step 37 is provided with two stop surfaces 44 for a maximum rotational position of the mandrel block. The projections 41 each have an outer stop surface 41b, which comes into contact with the respective stop surface 44 when the mandrel block 26 is in the maximum rotational position.On the other hand, they have a sliding surface 41a with which they slide along the surface 38 during rotation. Furthermore, the projections 41 have an inclined stop surface 41c which, in the central position, ie when the mandrel block 26 is not pivoted, are in contact with the two flanks of the V-shaped extension 39a of the fastening block 6.

The contouring of the contact surface 37 together with the correspondingly corresponding surface structuring of the front surface 36 of the mandrel block 26 means that the mandrel block can only be deflected laterally along the arrow 72 after a release force has been exceeded. The force is determined by the fact that the contact surface 41c must first pivot the fastening block 6 upwards when the mandrel block 26 begins to rotate as a result of the V-shaped expansion area 39a standing in the way. This upward pivoting movement of the fastening block 6 is determined by the spring force of the spring 23. The mandrel block can be deflected until the corresponding contour 41b on the mandrel block 26 comes into contact with the stop 44. This is typically an angle range of approx. 40 - 90 °, measured on both sides. However, a deflection of up to 180 ° can also be possible.

Once such a deflection has taken place and there is no longer any force, the mandrel block 26 is then returned to the vertical position due to the restoring force of the spring 23, which is transmitted to the mandrel block 26 via the area 39a and the corresponding flank 41c, and then, if necessary, also engages again in this vertical position via corresponding contours.

If the mandrel block 26 or the entire handle head is loaded as intended by the loop 70 exerting a downward pull, the proposed However, the construction prevents the mandrel block 26 from swiveling laterally into the safety deflection.

In Figure 2 a second embodiment is shown. Parts that are equivalent or the same are in accordance with the exemplary embodiment in FIG Figure 1 , and not all components are therefore provided with reference symbols again for better clarity.

Here the mandrel block 26 does not have a through opening, but rather a recess or a blind hole 75. In this blind hole 75, a tensioning pin 53, which runs essentially in the direction of travel 30, can be pivoted via a transverse pin or fastening pin 61 in the through opening 61 in the mandrel block 26 stored.

This tensioning pin 53 protrudes through a through opening 56 into a cavity 58 in the handle head. In this cavity 58, a spiral spring 55, which rotates around the tensioning pin 53, is provided. At the free end, a locking nut is screwed onto the tensioning pin 53 and secured against loosening by suitable means, with corresponding spring locking elements being provided in between both on the side of the locking nut 52 and on the stop on the back of the through opening 56.

In this case, how that is specifically based on Figure 2f ) and i) -p) can be recognized, the front surface 36 of the mandrel blocks 26 and the corresponding contact surface 37 are designed somewhat differently than in the first exemplary embodiment. On the one hand, there are to a certain extent two lateral flanks 78 in the contact surface 37 on the handle body, so the contact surface 37 is designed to a certain extent as a vertically running channel in which the mandrel block engages with its surface 36. Likewise, there are two laterally beveled flanks 78a in the front surface 36 of the mandrel block 26, which are in contact with the flanks 78 in the contact surface 37 when the mandrel block 26 is not deflected laterally.

In addition, below the through opening 56 in the handle body in the surface 37 of the handle body there is a spherical cap-shaped recess 59. A corresponding spherical cap-shaped bulge 60 is provided in the surface 36 of the mandrel block 26. In the central middle position for the intended use, i.e. when the holding mandrel 14 is directed vertically upwards, the spherical cap 60 of the mandrel block 26 engages in the recess 59 and stabilizes together with the lateral flanks 78 respectively 78a the fastening block 26 in the middle position via form fit.

If a lateral pull is now exerted on the holding mandrel 14 in this construction, a force must be applied on the one hand due to the form fit in the contours 59 and 60. However, the entire mandrel block must also be pulled out of the handle head somewhat along the axis of the tensioning pin 53 against the spring force of the spiral spring 55 so that the mandrel block can slide over the flanks 78 or 78a in one or the other lateral direction and enable the rotation. In this case, an adjustable release force for the lateral rotation in the sense of the above-mentioned second safety release is ensured by means of the corresponding setting of the nut 52 or a corresponding closing element 62.

In order to ensure a construction that is as stable as possible and a safety release from above, it is possible to provide an extension 79 on the underside with a through opening in the fastening block. This through-opening is also passed through by the tensioning pin 53 and the locking nut 52 is in the stop with the corresponding extension 79. This means that the safety release is not realized here via an axial spring 23 for the fastening block when pulling upwards, but is here, when a strong pull is exerted upwards on a loop 70 and a torque is accordingly introduced / exerted via the locking pin, in the illustration according to FIG Figure 2e the fastening block 6 rotated away / released about the axis of rotation 11 in the counterclockwise direction and against the compressive force of the spiral spring 55 analogously to the above-mentioned first safety solution, releasing the area 15.

The intended release of the loop 70 from the retaining mandrel is in turn ensured via a release button 18 with corresponding links 77, which the locking pin 7 via the transverse axis 20, which is displaceable in the elongated hole opening 48.

A third embodiment is shown in FIG Figure 3 shown. Here, at least the lower region 65 of the holding mandrel is made in one piece and made of the same material as the handle body. The first safety release and the construction of the fastening block 6, the locking pin 7 including the tensioning pin 22 and the spiral spring 23 is analogous to the embodiment 1 described above.

Here, however, it is now the case that an upper region 66 of the holding mandrel 14 is formed from a soft and elastically deformable / flexible plastic. For this purpose there is a transition area 67 between the lower area 65 and the upper area 66.

Typically, such a handle head is produced in a two-component injection molding process, a different material being used for the area 66 than for the area 65.

If, in this case, a lateral load is exerted on the loop or a rotation is exerted, the loop is shifted slightly upwards on one side and then comes into the area of the upper soft and bendable area 66. Since the upper area 66 is flexible, the loop can then also be made without mechanical safety release with spiral springs by rotating the fastening block 6 about the axis 11. The transition area can be designed differently, different possibilities are in the Figures 3d -1 shown.

So it is possible according to Figure 3g to provide a somewhat rounded, cuboidal axial extension 68. Or, however, it is possible to have a somewhat bridge-shaped extension made of hard material 68 as in FIG Figure 3h provided. Such a configuration has the advantage that the softer material can flow into the bridged area of the clamp 46 and thus ensure good adhesion between the hard area 65 and the upper area 66.

Another variant is in Figure 3i shown, here the extension area 68 is a substantially circular cylindrical pin.

In order to ensure a better connection between the upper area 66 and the lower area 65, as shown in FIG Figure 3j is shown, a somewhat spherical extension can be provided on the extension 68 also at the free end.

Likewise for a better connection between the upper area 66 and the hard lower area 65, it is possible, as in FIG Figure 3k shown to provide a through opening in the extension 68. Alternatively, as in Figure 3l shown, or it is additionally possible to provide ribs or teeth on such an extension 68 so that the soft material in the two-component injection molding process not only flows around this extension 68, but also partially flows into it.

Another embodiment is shown in Figure 4 shown. As a major difference compared to the embodiment according to Figure 1 It should be emphasized that here essentially the entire mechanism for the retaining mandrel is combined in one unit, which can be assembled beforehand and then inserted into the recess 4 in the pole grip 1 and fastened in this recess 4.

An essential element of this design is an additional holding block 82, which is mainly used in the Figures 4 g) and h) is shown separately in two perspective views. This holding block 82 is provided as a carrier for the mandrel block 26. A hollow circular cylinder extension 85 with an axis opening 86 is provided on a surface 87 of the holding block 82 that faces the mandrel block 26. The mandrel block 26 has a corresponding recess 28 which can be pushed onto the hollow circular cylinder extension 85. The mandrel block 26 can then be fastened to the holding block 82 with a screw 88. As a result of the configuration with the hollow circular cylinder extension 85, the mandrel block 26 is then rotatably mounted on the holding block 82.

The holding block 82 also has two arms 84, at the ends of which two through openings 83 are provided. This holding block 82 can be connected to the fastening block 6 and the release button 18 with a holding pin 81. This is done by first pushing the release button 16 from above over the fastening block 6, in which the locking pin 7 with the spring 13 can already be inserted with the transverse pin 20. The holding block 82 with the two arms 84 is also pushed on from below until the through openings 92, 83 and 98 are aligned and the holding pin 81 can be pushed in. The V-shaped extension 39a of the fastening block 6 engages in a receiving pocket 94 in the mandrel block 26. The unit formed in this way from the elements 6, 18, 26 and 82 can be almost prefabricated and then inserted into the recess 4 in the pole handle 1 and fastened in this recess 4 via the fastening transverse pin 99. After the unit has been inserted into the handle head and the cross pin has been installed, the compression spring 23 with the two spring end caps is pushed onto the eyebolt 22 from below through the handle bore and fixed by means of the hexagon nut 24. In the process, the compression spring 23 is pretensioned and the desired release force is thus also adjusted. Also through the curved slot 91 in the release button 18, this unit is then fixed in the recess 4 and its elements are nevertheless movable to the required extent for the release functions and the latching functions.

With regard to the latching of the loop-shaped device 70 behind the retaining mandrel 14, this fourth embodiment works essentially the same as the first embodiment: if the loop 70 is pushed over the retaining mandrel 14 from above, the locking pin 7 moves against the force of the spiral spring 13 into the fastening block 6 , and after the loop 70 has reached the holding area 15, The locking pin 7 pushes itself against the retaining mandrel 14 again and thus locks the loop 70 in the area 15.

The safety release also works in the same way as the first exemplary embodiment when the loop 70 is pulled upwards: In this case, the force from below on the concave area 10 of the locking pin 7 causes the fastening block 6 to pivot about the axis 81 against the force of the spring 23 (compare in particular Figure 4e , there movement of block 6 counterclockwise), so that the loop 70 is released.

The possible lateral safety deflection of the holding mandrel 14 against a controlled triggering force is ensured here by the engagement of the V-shaped extension 39a of the fastening block 6 in the receiving pocket 94 in the mandrel block 26. This receiving pocket 94 has two correspondingly V-shaped flanks 95, and the mandrel block 26 is secured by e.g. If the side pull on the loop is rotated around the axis 88, this can only be done by the flanks 95 of the receiving pocket 94 in the mandrel block 26 sliding on the flanks of the extension 39a of the fastening block 6, i.e. the fastening block 6 upwards against the force of the spring 23 is deflected. The lateral deflection of the mandrel block 26 against this spring force is thus also possible and, after loading, the mandrel block 26 jumps back into its original vertical starting position, also because of this spring force.

Another embodiment is shown in Figure 5 shown. It has a similar trigger mechanism as the example according to Figure 4 , but also has a safety release around a second axis of rotation. Specifically, the mandrel block 26 cannot be tilted downward as intended when the hand strap is loaded, but rather backwards slightly when the hand strap is loaded so that the eyelet of the hand strap can just slide out between the locking pin and the retaining mandrel 14. In this way, to a certain extent, a safety release can be guaranteed around all three axes.

In this example, a replaceable cover is also provided, which allows accessories made of hard plastic, for example a guard for the hand (so-called gate guard, for example for slalom competition and training) to be attached to the pole handle using an adapter piece 111.

In perspective views in a) and b) the stick handle according to this exemplary embodiment is shown with a closing cover 114, while in FIG The perspective views in c) and d) this cover is replaced by an insert or an adapter piece 111, typically made of metal, which has an internal thread 120 for a fastening screw, for example for a hand guard (not shown). Typically, the other free end of the handguard is attached to the stick tube directly below the handle body. The cover 114 is shown in the exploded view Figure 5e more recognizable. The cover that is inserted in the illustrations a) and b) is the cover 106. This cover 106 has a cover plate 114 which, when inserted, forms the surface of the upper area of the handle. This cover plate 114 is fastened to the pole handle via a fastening stump 107 which engages in a corresponding blind hole or an exposed area in the handle body and / or in the fastening block 7. At the lower end of this fastening stump 107 there is a transverse through opening. The cover 106 can be fastened in the inserted state with the cross pin 11 in the handle body. Typically, a cane handle with cover 160 so inserted will be sold. If a user would like to attach a hand protector to such a handle, for example, the transverse pin 11 only needs to be removed, the cover 106 removed from the handle head, and the adapter 111 for the hand protector can now be inserted into the recess that has now been released. This insert also has a fastening stump 107, at the lower end of which a transverse through opening 113 is provided for the transverse pin 11. The adapter piece 111 can thus be fastened in the handle head quite analogously to the cover 106. The adapter piece 111 now has a collar or circumferential flange 112 on the upper side, and the fastening stump 107 is designed as a blind hole that is open at the top and has an internal thread. The fastening screw of an accessory can now easily be screwed into this internal thread 120 and the accessory is thus firmly fastened to the handle head without further manipulation.

In Figure 5 e) in particular in an overall view with g) it can now also be recognized how in this exemplary embodiment the retaining pin 14 is mounted about two axes of rotation in the sense of a further improved safety release. The mandrel block 26 is in turn fastened rotatably to a holding block 82 via a screw 88. Here, too, the holding block 82 has a hollow circular cylinder extension 85 provided for this purpose. The opening in this extension serves as a receiving opening for the screw 88 and is adjacent at the same time the axis of rotation for the mandrel block 26 about the first axis 86. Here, too, the holding block 82 has two fork arms 84, at the free ends of which two aligned through-openings 83 are provided. The holding block 82 can be fastened to the fastening block 6 in a pivotable manner via these through openings in 83 with the holding pin 81. For this purpose, the fastening block 6 has two lateral recesses and a through opening 92 in them. The two fork arms 84 of the holding block 82 can be pushed into or onto these recesses until the through openings 83 are aligned with the through opening 92, after which the transverse pin 81 be inserted. Here, too, the eyebolt 22 is pivotably articulated with the fastening pin 21 on the fastening block 6.

In the fastening block 6, the locking pin 7 is also mounted in the recess 8 so as to be displaceable against the return of the spiral spring 13. The locking pin 7 is caught by the transverse pin 20, which passes through the transverse hole 64, protrudes beyond it on both sides, and engages in the elongated guide hole 48 in the fastening block 6. The locking pin 7 is accordingly only displaceable in the recess 8 within the limits specified by the elongated hole 48. The locking pin 7 clamps the loop of the wrist strap with its tip, for this purpose a concave area 10 is also provided here, which delimits the area 15.

The unit thus formed from holding block 82, mandrel block 26 and fastening block 6 is held in the recess 4 in the handle head by the tensioning pin (eyebolt) 22 fastened via the fastening pin 21, which is tensioned from below via the cavity 5 with the spiral spring 23 and with the locking nut 24 is attached.

On the other hand, the release button 18 is also captured on this unit via the transverse pin 21. The two free ends of the transverse pin protrude beyond the lateral surface of the fastening block 6 and engage in the two curved elongated holes 101 of the release button 18. The release button 18 has a transverse through opening 100 and is mounted in the handle head so that it can be tilted about the axis of this transverse pin 11 via the transverse pin 11, which passes through the through opening 109 in the handle body. If the release button 18 is pressed down in the rear area, ie at the retaining pin 14, the cross pin 21 is displaced in the running direction due to the link 101 and thus the locking pin 7 is pushed further into the recess 8 against the force of the spring 13, and thus the Area 15 released. This is the manipulation that is carried out when the user properly uses the Wants to detach the wrist strap from the grip body.

As far as the triggering about the first axis of rotation is concerned, this functions in accordance with the exemplary embodiment Figure 5 same as in the embodiment in Figure 4 .The mandrel block is rotatably mounted about the axis 88 on the holding block 82, a V-shaped extension 39a on the holding block 82 engaging in a receiving pocket 94 in the mandrel block 26 here as well. If the mandrel block is rotated about the first axis of rotation, the extension 39a moves along the inclined flanks 95 and moves the fastening block 6 upwards against the return of the spring 23.

In addition, in this exemplary embodiment there is now a release about the second axis of rotation 121 perpendicular to the direction of travel and perpendicular to the pole axis. This easy tilting option as a safety release is implemented by the saddle 119, on which the unit consisting of the holding block 82 and the mandrel block 26 is placed. On the one hand with a downwardly directed extension 103 of the holding block 82, and on the other hand with the contact area 105 which is formed by the lower part of the front surface 36 of the mandrel block 26. Train on the retaining pin 14 in the illustration according to Figure 5 g) now leads to the fact that the unit formed from holding block 82 and mandrel block 26 tilts clockwise about the second axis 121 to the right. At the same time, the fastening block 6 moves somewhat counterclockwise about the axis 81, so that the area 15 is opened somewhat, and the fastening block 6 shifts somewhat to the right. This is possible because the transverse pin 11 can be displaced in an elongated upwardly open recess 110 of the fastening block 6. During this shift, the release button 18 remains in its normal position. This now leads to the transverse pin 21 migrating upward in the curved link 101 and thus the transverse pin to the left and the locking pin 7 being pushed into the fastening block 6. In other words, the fastening pin 7 follows the displacement of the fastening block 6 in the illustration in FIG Figure 5 g) not to the right and so the eyelet is released from the area 15.

Another the embodiment of Figure 5 from that in Figure 4 The distinguishing feature is the cover 102. On the two sides, the handle body has two opposed, transparent or even formed as a through opening areas 115 through which the spiral spring 23 is visible. The cover 102, which can for example be made of transparent or translucent material and can be provided with a decoration entirely or in partial areas, can now be snapped onto the grip body from behind, the areas 115 being covered. In this In the exemplary embodiment, the cover 102 is designed to some extent in the form of a saddle, but it is also possible to provide two such covers individually for each side. It is also possible to replace the above-mentioned transparent or partially transparent covers with covers which are provided with a non-slip surface in order to enlarge the anti-slip surface of the handle and thus to generate more grip. The non-slip surface can be produced, for example, by a sprayed-on skin made of a softer plastic material or by a structured, roughened surface.
