Description

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the technical field of poles, and in particular to a walking pole with an adjustable handheld position.

Description of Related Art

Walking poles are mainly used to assist in walking and provide support. Existing walking poles generally comprise a pole body and a handle. When a wrist strap is fixed on the handle, the wrist strap is wound around the wrist when in use, avoiding the crane from falling off accidentally during climbing or skiing. Since the wrist strap is wound around the wrist, it is troublesome to release the wrist strap when in use. Therefore, detachable wrist straps emerge at present, where the wrist straps and the poles are connected through buckles and can be quickly detached from each other.
However, the position of the wrist strap for existing poles is fixed and cannot be adjusted, so there are some deficiencies in use, particularly when the pole body is a single pole. Since the length of the pole cannot be adjusted, the pole cannot be adjusted for users with different heights if the position of the wrist strap is also fixed.
After searching, a Chinese Patent Application CN203676336U (patent No.: CN201320854150.X ) disclosed a handle for a pole, wherein the handle comprise s a handle body and a buckle; a positioning chute for receiving the buckle is longitudinally formed on the rear side of the upper end portion of the handle body; a locking mechanism is disposed in the middle portion of the upper end portion of the handle body; an accommodating chamber for receiving the locking mechanism is formed in the middle portion of the upper end portion of the handle body; the middle and lower portions of the accommodating chamber are communicated with the positioning chute; the locking mechanism comprises a driving button; a strip-shaped slot for allowing a locking switch to be accommodated and rotated therein is longitudinally formed in the middle portion of the driving button; the middle-upper section of the locking switch is obliquely formed with a strip-shaped hole, and is connected to the strip-shaped slot through a first pin shaft; the head of the locking switch extends out the strip-shaped slot to be hinged to the upper end of the handle body through a second pin shaft; and, a spring is supported between the bottom of the driving button and the accommodating chamber. With this structure, the wrist strap can be quickly detached from the handle, but the position of the wrist strap is also fixed, so that the wrist strap cannot be adjusted.
