Description

TITLE

LOOP ATTACHMENT CANE HANDLE

TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a stick grip for, for example, a hiking stick, a trekking stick, a ski stick or a Nordic walking stick, in which the loop is designed to be adjustable in terms of its length or size. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a stick with such a stick grip and a method for mounting such a stick grip.

STATE OF THE ART

Stick grips are known from the prior art, for example from DE 299 06 612 U1, which the user grasps from a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the stick, the contours of the stick grip being designed in such a way that they allow for a sequential arrangement of the fingers of a user's hand are suitable. If a force is applied from above, a projection serves to support the index finger downwards. A walking stick in which a knob forms the stick handle is disclosed in DE 10 2006 008 066 A1. The pommel is placed eccentrically on the stick shaft. This stick grip is only suitable for gripping from above.

Further pole grips with an ergonomic configuration of the grip head are known from EP-A-2 168 641.

In such handle constructions the loops can be adjustably attached using different mechanisms, see for example EP-A-1 848298, WO-A-2018/166854, EP-A-1 819406.

DE7535934U discloses a handle for ski poles with a handle to be placed on the upper end of a ski pole, to be gripped by one hand and a strap connected to it at both ends and forming a loop, which is characterized in that a free end of the strap is detachably attached to the handle in such a way that it is detachable from the handle when pulled upwards with respect to the standing ski pole. The loop is not clamped, but the strap has holes in which a pin engages in a form-fitting manner.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

It is accordingly the object of the present invention to provide an improved stick grip of the type mentioned at the outset. Specifically, the aim is to provide a pole grip, in particular for a ski pole, cross-country ski pole, trekking pole or Nordic walking pole, having a head area and a grip area, as well as an axial recess for receiving a pole tube, and a hand strap attached thereto and adjustable in size.

The pole grip has a central recess in which a loop fastening element with a hand strap that is attached to the loop fastening element and is adjustable in size is at least partially accommodated.

According to the invention, the stick handle is characterized in that the loop attachment element and the hand strap attached to the loop attachment element form a modular unit that is designed separately from a core of the stick handle and is attached to the core of the stick handle so that it can be tilted reversibly about an axis of rotation in the stick handle.

The loop fastening element is in a rest position X1, in which the loop fastening element is embedded in the surface contour of the handle head, and in which the size of the hand strap cannot be adjusted, preferably by the strap of the hand strap being fixed in a force-fitting manner and not in a form-fitting manner, tiltable about the axis of rotation upwards into an adjustment position X2, and in this adjustment position X2 the size of the hand strap can be adjusted.

This provides a simple construction that is particularly advantageous with regard to assembly, repair and replacement of components, which ensures excellent fixation of the loop in the rest position and nevertheless allows a simple length adjustment of the hand loop in the adjustment position. The loop fastening element as a module can be prefabricated and installed together with the hand loop as a whole in a corresponding grip head. In this way, the production processes and warehousing can also be optimized, since such a unit can be used for different models with regard to the further design of the handle. A first preferred embodiment is characterized in that the loop fastening element has a through-opening through which the strap of the hand strap is guided out of the pole grip, around the user's hand, and through the same through-opening with the free end again through the loop fastening element Preferably, the free end of the loop strap behind this passage opening is guided downwards around the loop fastening element around a deflection area and is then guided out below the loop as a free loop end from the grip head. In the rest position, the loop strap is preferably held between the loop fastening element and the core of the pole grip by pure clamping, ie fixed in position by adhesion. In particular, there are no holes in the loop strap for form-fitting attachment in order to enable as many different positions as possible.

At the same time, this loop guide permits good clamping and, on the other hand, also advantages in terms of modularity, since the prefabricated unit made up of loop fastening element and hand strap can be easily assembled, particularly when one end of the loop is fastened to the loop fastening element.

In the rest position, the loop strap is more preferably clamped in place between an underside of the loop fastening element and an opposite bottom of the central recess.

Means are preferably arranged in the clamping area and/or in the deflection area in order to prevent the size of the hand strap from being adjusted.

These means can preferably be designed at least partially in the form of one or more clamping projections or clamping shoulders and/or corresponding depressions, steps or grooves in the mating surface.

At least one rib running transversely to the running direction is particularly preferably arranged on the underside of the loop fastening element, and a corresponding step is arranged in the opposite base of the central recess. A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the loop fastening element is tiltably fastened to the core of the stick grip by means of a transverse pin arranged along the axis of rotation transversely to a running direction and transversely to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip in a through opening in the core of the stick grip.

The loop fastener can also be attached to the core of the pole grip by means of a direct or indirect connection d. H. be secured in particular against losing, which preferably also provides a guide function for the tilting movement between the rest position X1 and locking position X2. For this purpose, projections are particularly preferably provided on the core and/or on a separate element, which at least partially engage in curved recesses in the side surfaces.

Furthermore, snap-in elements can preferably be provided which allow the loop fastening element to snap in at least partially in the rest position X1 and/or in the adjustment position X2. Preferably such a mechanism is provided in both positions.

The loop fastening element can have at least one first latching channel in at least one side surface, in which at least one first latching comb engages in the rest state X1, the loop fastening element then preferably having two latching channels or channels which are arranged parallel to one another on two are arranged opposite side walls of the loop fastener. The core preferably has two latching combs which are directed inwards into the central recess and which are arranged on two opposite side walls of the core which are arranged essentially parallel to one another and which engage in the two latching channels.

Alternatively or additionally, it is possible for the loop fastening element to have at least one second latching channel in at least one side surface, in which at least one first latching comb engages in the adjustment position X2, with the loop fastening element preferably having two latching channels or channels which are arranged parallel to one another on two are arranged on opposite side walls of the loop fastening element, and wherein the core preferably has two latching combs which are directed inwards into the central recess and which are arranged on two essentially parallel, opposite side walls of the core which engage in the two latching channels.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the hand strap has a loop section running around the hand of the user, and a deflection section adjoining the loop section on one side, inserted into a slot-shaped through opening of the loop fastening element and guided downwards around a deflection area of the loop fastening element in the central recess and a first free end that projects out of the central recess and adjoins the deflection section, the hand strap also having a second end that adjoins the circumferential loop section and is fastened to the loop fastening element, preferably to one arranged in the central recess of the stick handle Front wall of the loop fastening element, particularly preferably by means of a fastening means, which is preferably a screw, a rivet, a pin, a hook, an adhesive connection or a combination thereof.

The loop fastening element can preferably have at least one recess, preferably arranged transversely to the running direction.

Furthermore, the loop fastening element can have means on its front surface in the transition to the cover section (forming the surface of the grip head when in use, in the rest position X1) which ensure a seal, in particular in the form of a projection and/or a sealing lip.

The pole grip can also have at least one attachment, preferably in the form of a clamp, which is positively and detachably connected to the loop attachment element and/or connected to the core. It can, for example, be two attachments placed on each side. In the case of a clip-shaped attachment, this can have two side walls which converge in the running direction in a front wall and are connected downwards in a front region by a base, with the side walls each having a free end pointing backwards against the running direction, on which a locking pin is arranged in each case , and wherein the locking pins each engage in a curved guide channel arranged on opposite side walls of the loop fastening element, as a result of which the loop fastening element is guided in the central recess of the pole grip during a tilting movement of the loop fastening element, and wherein the at least one guide channel is preferably formed along the curvature of a cover section of the loop fastening element is.

Typically, the attachment is positively and detachably connected to the core (1a) of the pole grip, preferably by means of at least one snap-in connection.

The angle between the rest position X1 and the adjustment position X2 is advantageously in the range of 20-90°, preferably in the range of 30-80°, particularly preferably in the range of 45-70°.

The pole grip more preferably has a first interlocking connection between the core and the loop attachment element, a second interlocking connection between the loop attachment element and the attachment, and a third interlocking connection between the core and the attachment.

The loop fastening element can have a curved cover section which, in the locking position, is at least partially or in particular almost completely integrated into an outer contour of the head area.

The handle head preferably protrudes in a front area beyond the handle area. For better gripping, the grip head has at least one elevation on its front underside, preferably approximately halfway between the front edge of the grip area and the tip of the grip head. More preferably, the underside and optionally at least partially also an area that extends somewhat to the side to the rear are made of a particularly easy-to-grip material. Typically, the core of the handle head consists of a hard thermoplastic material, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, or mixtures or fiberglass reinforced thereof. As a grip-friendly material, a softer elastomer material can be provided in the lower area of the grip head, which then preferably also provides the above-mentioned elevation. The entire core of the handle or at least the upper area with the handle head can be designed accordingly be made of a single material, or in a 2K process with an elastomer insert, particularly on the underside of the handle head.

The upper side or cover surface as well as a cover section of the loop fastening element can also be made of a grip-friendly elastomer material or at least with a coating of a grip-friendly elastomer material.

The present invention also relates to a method for assembling a pole grip as set out above, which is characterized in that the hand strap is attached to the loop attachment element with a free end, and then inserted as a module into the central recess and attached via a transverse pin in the grip head so that it can be tilted . Before inserting the loop fastening element or afterwards, at least one attachment is preferably pushed on, preferably from the side or from the front, and fastened to the grip head, preferably in a self-locking manner. As a result, the attachment is additionally secured on the grip head via the loop attachment element or the loop attachment element via this attachment or areas thereof. Preferably, in addition, the loop fastener is guided through engagement of the tilting attachment.

Last but not least, the present invention relates to a pole, in particular a ski pole, cross-country ski pole or Nordic walking pole, with a pole grip as set out above or mounted as set out above.

Alternatively or additionally, the present case is a stick grip with the following properties:

A pole grip, in particular for a ski pole, cross-country ski pole, trekking pole or Nordic walking pole, with a head area and a grip area, as well as an axial recess open on one side at the bottom for receiving a pole tube.

Such a stick handle is characterized in particular by the fact that the stick handle has a core made of the actual structure-forming material (for example and preferably made of a thermoplastic material such as in particular polyamide, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethylene or mixtures thereof, possibly (glass) fiber reinforced), wherein the core has at least partially a first, left side wall and a second, right side wall inside the handle.

The two side walls are connected at the top by a top surface, the side walls and top surface enclosing a cavity, and the first, left side wall and the second, right side wall in the head area laterally delimit the cavity. Both side walls each have at least one or preferably two openings in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip and transverse to the running direction when used as intended.

The individual breakdown area of at least one of the openings, preferably the majority or all of the apertures, amounts to more than 10 mm ^2, in particular more than 15 mm ^2, in particular in the range of 10-50mm. ² Alternatively or additionally, the total area of the openings on at least one or both sides, i.e. in a side wall, of the handle is more than 10 mm ² , preferably more than 15 mm ² , or more than 20 mm ² , in particular in the range of 10-50 mm ² .

Due to the design with the side walls and the openings in these side walls, an elongate hollow space can be structurally realized in a stable manner inside the handle head without having to accept losses in stability even under heavy loads. The webs of this, for example, organic structure can ensure a high degree of stability, and the proposed design can also be easily implemented using the usual methods (injection molding method) for the core of the stick handle.

A first preferred embodiment is characterized in that webs are formed between the openings or the openings are formed by a lattice structure with openings.

At least one or more of the openings can be in the form of polygons, with possibly rounded corners, e.g. in the form of triangles, quadrilaterals (kite, rhombus, square, rectangle, trapezoidal shape, e.g. parallelogram, trapezoid). Typically, the top surface is closed or in the form of a lattice. If the cover surface is designed in the form of a grid with complete openings, the attachment described further below or a separate attachment or a coating preferably also covers the surface of the cover surface in order to prevent the ingress of dirt or the like.

The stick grip preferably has at least one attachment which is preferably detachably attached to the core and which surrounds the core in the head area, preferably in the circumferential direction, and which at least partially, preferably completely, covers the openings and/or recesses in the top surface on the outside, the attachment preferably being by force - and/or is fastened to the core in a form-fitting manner and/or is fastened in a form-fitting manner to a loop fastening element which is also embedded in the handle head. For example, it could be two attachments placed on each side.

The essay is typically and preferably made of a transparent or translucent thermoplastic material, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate (eg PMMA), POM or a mixture of such materials, so that the view of the Internal structure is released.

The stick grip with the head area and the grip area preferably has a hard core made of a thermoplastic material and a soft material arranged on it, for example made of foam or cork in the grip area. In this case, the hard core made of a thermoplastic material can have a peripheral recess in the grip area, in which a corresponding sheathing made of foam or cork is arranged. This not only results in a further reduction in weight, but also makes it easier to grip.

The casing can be made of foam (e.g. EVA), cork, or a composite material, wood, bast, textile, fleece, metal, or a combination of such materials.

So that such constructions can also be mounted, the hard core in the lower grip area, i. H. be separated in the area in which the axial recess for a pole tube is provided, d. H. have a circumferential slot. The two-part hard core of the handle can be assembled with the casing by placing the upper area or the lower area of the hard core in front, pushing on the surrounding casing and pushing the other area of the hard core into the other free opening in the casing and the parts are connected to one another, for example glued.

This proposed design can also be used to provide stick grips of different sizes and different shapes in a quasi-modular manner. For example, it is possible to vary the length of the grip portion by providing the same head portion and upper hard core, and lower hard core portions of different lengths, and then combining a sheath of the desired length with a lower hard core portion of the desired length always the same upper hard core.

Furthermore, it is additionally or independently possible to configure the casing with a different shape while the hard core remains the same. A whole series of different handles can thus be provided with the same hard core, in that only different casings are used, with the different casings being able to vary in terms of material and/or shape.

All possible variations are particularly preferably used within the framework of a handle series, for example by having a single hard core upper part with handle head, which is always the same, and lower hard cores of different lengths depending on the desired length of the handle area, and sheaths of different lengths made of different materials and with different shapes. Alternatively, the upper parts with grip head and hard core area can have different lengths and be combined with lower, hard core areas, either with the same length and shape or with different length and shape. In the end, even user-specific individualized combinations can be provided with comparatively little effort during production, which opens up interesting possibilities, especially given today's possibilities with Internet shipping directly from the production site to the customer.

The stick grip with a stick longitudinal axis and a front stick grip area pointing in a running direction and a rear stick grip area oriented opposite to the running direction, as well as a gripping area and a curved head area adjoining the gripping area, wherein the gripping area has an upper gripping area adjacent to the head area and a lower gripping area facing away from the head area typically has a grip nose in the head area, which in the front pole grip area merges into the upper gripping area essentially without a step, the gripping nose in the front pole grip area being formed in the direction of travel protruding beyond the gripping area.

The overhang is typically more than approx. 50% of an average extension of the wrap-around area in the running direction. Typically, there is a sectional plane of the head area, which is spanned by a transverse axis of the head area arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis of the pole and transversely to the running direction, which is arranged where the head area is widest measured transversely to the running direction and transversely to the longitudinal axis of the pole, and a front tip of the grip nose , angled at an obtuse angle of in the range of 90-135 degrees from the longitudinal axis of the stick.

The attachment can be designed as a clip with two lateral arms, the arms of this clip gripping the grip head more or less from the front, and the arms extending backwards from a front wall of the attachment to the rear area of the head area of the stick grip and thereby the side walls partially and preferably completely cover the openings arranged therein on the outside.

Each of the lateral arms preferably has at least one first means for a non-positive and/or positive connection with the core and preferably additionally has at least one second means for a non-positive and/or positive connection with a coupling element, whereby it is preferably at least the second Means is a locking means, which engages in a locking recess or on a locking extension of a locking structure in the core.

Both the first, left side wall and the second, right side wall can Each head area has at least three openings in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip and transverse to the running direction.

The first side wall and the second side wall preferably each have at least two or three openings separated from each other by a web, the webs extending from the top surface of the stick grip downwards in the direction of the grip area, and preferably essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip or inclined at an angle are arranged to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip.

The webs are preferably aligned inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip, webs arranged further forward in the running direction being preferably inclined forwards from bottom to top, particularly preferably at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip of 20-80°, or in the range of 30-60°, and webs arranged further to the rear in the running direction are inclined backwards from bottom to top, particularly preferably at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip of 10-70°, or in the range of 20-60°.

The openings in the two side walls are preferably mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane spanned by the longitudinal axis of the stick handle and the running direction.

The side walls are also preferably in an upper area of the head area in relation to a lower area of the head area offset inwards towards the cavity, as a result of which a shoulder which partially runs around the head area in the circumferential direction is formed between the upper area of the head area and the lower area of the head area. on which the attachment rests at least partially, with the shape of the attachment and its position in this offset area preferably forming an essentially continuous surface of the gripping area that is closed apart from gaps between components.

The webs typically extend from the top surface of the stick grip downwards in the direction of the grip area to the partially circumferential shoulder.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the attachment is at least partially, preferably completely, transparent or translucent (translucent), so that the openings in the core are visible from the outside. The stick grip can have a central recess on the rear of the head area, which is delimited at the top by a cover surface, in which a loop fastening element with a hand strap attached to the loop fastening element is accommodated in a rear area of the head area, with the loop fastening element preferably having an opening which is connected to an opening of the side walls aligns so that the loop fastener in a rest position viewed through the opening of the side walls is essentially not visible from the outside.

The pole grip according to the invention also preferably has two lateral curved or angled webs between the top surface and a lower area of the grip head on the back of the grip head, between which a loop fastening element is preferably arranged as described above.

Furthermore, the stick grip can have an attachment that is detachably attached to the core, which encloses the core in some areas in the circumferential direction in the head area, and which at least partially, preferably completely, covers the openings and/or recesses in the top surface, including the opening formed by the webs, on the outside, with the The attachment is preferably attached to the core in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner and/or is attached in a form-fitting manner to a loop fastening element that is also embedded in the grip head, in that areas of the attachment engage behind the webs on the inside and optionally engage in a leading manner in curved recesses of a loop fastening element. As a result, the use of additional fastening elements can be dispensed with.

Further embodiments are specified in the dependent claims.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A first preferred exemplary embodiment of the stick grip 1 according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 1-14. The same reference symbols designate here the same elements according to the list of reference symbols.

The pole grip 1 (cf. FIG. 1) has a head area 2 or a grip head and a grip area 3 . The stick grip 1 is essentially made up of the following basic elements, namely a stick grip core 1a (typically made from a plastic material in an injection molding process in one or more components), an attachment element 7 which is attached to the core 1a in the head area 2 or the grip nose 2a of is pushed on or put on at the front and partially clasps the front upper grip area of the head area 2, and a coupling module consisting of a loop fastening element 5 with a hand strap 4 attached thereto, which is adjustable in size in the present exemplary embodiment. As can be seen in Figure 2 and Figure 12, the core 1a of the stick grip is a one-piece or multi-part, multi-component part which typically has a surface coating made of a grip-friendly material in the grip area 3, or a corresponding sheathing, typically made of a grip foam or natural material e.g. cork. The core 1a of the stick grip can also be divided transversely to the stick axis in order, for example, to mount alternative grip materials in the form of sleeves, which can make up a portion of the gripping surface. At the lower end of the grip area 3, the stick grip 1 or the core 1a of the stick grip 1 has a shoulder 17 pointing backwards, counter to the running direction L, or towards the stick grip user when in use, on which the user rests the ball of his hand when gripping the stick grip 1 can be supported in the circumferential direction U in the lower grip area.

From below, the core 1a of the stick grip 1 has a central axial stick grip recess 16 in the form of a blind hole, which is typically delimited upwards towards the grip head and which is arranged essentially along the longitudinal axis S of the stick grip. The axial recess 16 serves to receive and fasten a pole tube (not shown) or a tubular section of a pole, in particular a ski pole, cross-country skiing pole, trekking pole or Nordic walking pole.

The head area 2 of the stick grip 1 has a front area 2a or a grip nose pointing in the running direction L, the running direction L being arranged essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the stick grip and pointing away from the user of the stick grip 1 . The user covers the head area 2 of the stick handle 1 with his palm when the user supports himself on the stick handle from above. In the front area 2a of the head area 2 , the pole grip 1 has an elevation 40 below the grip head 2 in the transition area to the grip area 3 . This is used for ease of grip, in particular when the grip head is gripped from behind and above and the fingers enclose this lower front area. It is then, for example possible to place the index finger in the indentation in front of this elevation 40 and the middle finger in the indentation behind this elevation 40, or shifted one finger position further, the middle finger in the indentation in front of elevation 40 and the ring finger in the indentation behind elevation 40 .

The head region 2 of the pole grip 1 has a central recess 11 on the upper side from behind, for receiving a loop fastening element 5 for a hand strap 4 (compare, for example, FIG. 2 or FIG. 7). This central recess 11 extends from the rear area 2b of the head area 2 to the front area 2a. The core 1a is thus partially hollow in the head area 2 .

Seen in the running direction L, the core 1a has a first, left-hand side wall 14a and a second, right-hand side wall 14b. These are open to the rear and converge in the front area 2a of the stick grip 1 in a front wall 14c. In the upper and front handle area 2a, the side walls 14a, 14b are offset inwards in some areas, as a result of which a shoulder 21 running partially in the circumferential direction U is formed. The core 1a has a plurality of openings 12a-12f, 15 in the said side walls 14 in the head area 2. In the illustrated embodiment, these are through a first opening 12a, a second opening 12b and a third opening 12c in the first, left side wall 14a and through a fourth opening 12d, a fifth opening 12e and a sixth opening 12f in the second, right side wall 14b of the core 1a realized. Two openings 12a, 12d (at the front) or 12b, 12e (in the middle) or 12c, 12f (at the back) lie opposite one another in the head area 2 of the core 1a. The openings each form an opening area 12, i.e. a cross-sectional area of the respective through opening.

The front wall 14c has a seventh opening 15 in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG.

The openings 12a-12f in the side walls 14a, 14b are separated from each other by webs 13a-13d and the foremost webs 13e and 13f in the respective side walls 14a, 14b. The webs 13a-13f run essentially from the top or top surface 6 of the core 1a downwards in the direction of the grip area 3 up to the partially circumferential shoulder 21. The top surface 6, which is closed in this exemplary embodiment, is correspondingly supported by a large number of webs 13, and the side walls and top surface define a machine-direction cavity 42 which merges rearwardly with recess 11 and is closed forwardly by front wall 14c.

These webs can be aligned essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pole, but, as shown in this exemplary embodiment, they can preferably be bionic Structures must be aligned to match the typical load directions. The respective rear webs 13b, 13d are inclined backwards from the bottom up, and the front webs 13a, 13c are inclined forwards from the bottom up, each typically backwards at an angle of 30-60° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stick, and to the rear at an angle of 20-45° to the longitudinal axis of the stick. To a certain extent, this results in a lattice or network structure of the core 1a in the upper head region 2 for supporting the top surface 6.

Furthermore, the top surface 6 is carried to the rear on both sides by an arcuate web 41 which connects the top surface 6 to the lower part of the core and laterally encloses and guides the loop fastening element 5 .

The surface of the head area 2 of the pole grip 1 and thus the gripping surface from above (see Figure 11) is partially covered by the upper side or cover surface 6 of the core 1a, partially by the attachment element 7 and partially by the

Loop fastener 5 formed. The curved upper side or the cover section 25 of the loop fastening element 5 is almost completely integrated in the outer contour of the head region 2 in the rest position or the non-tilted locking position. The surface of the head area has it when removed

Loop fastening element in a side view (compare Figure 14) over a first shoulder 19 at the transition from the upper side to the loop fastening element, and over a second shoulder 20 at the transition to the lower handle area, so that the loop fastening element is embedded in the surface of the handle head flush with the contours.

The attachment element 7 encloses or covers the front area or the front wall 14c of the core 1a in the head area 2 of the stick grip 1 with the front wall 7c of the attachment element 7, designed to a certain extent as a clip, and with its two laterally extending from the front wall 7c Arms 7a, 7b cover the flanks or side walls 14a, 14b of core 1a, as can be seen in the exploded view of FIG. With its two side walls 7a, 7b and its front wall 7c, the attachment 7 thus encloses the front area of the handle head and the two lateral areas of the side walls 14 on three sides of the core 1a as shown in Fig.9 and Fig.10.

In the front area of the attachment 7, this has a base 7d connecting the two side walls 7a, 7b to one another (cf. FIG. 13), which has a recess 7g and delimits the interior space in the front area at the bottom. The bottom 7d extends essentially parallel to the sectional plane BB shown in FIG extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the head area K1. When the attachment 7 is pushed onto the core 1a in the head area 2 of the stick handle 1 from the front, the bottom 7d slides at least partially from the front into a slot 18 in the locking structure 35 and the attachment 7 engages on the core 1a of the stick handle 1. This is made possible by a positive connection between a substantially semicircular latching tongue 34 with an undercut on the latching structure 35 inside the head area 2 and the corresponding recess 7g in the base 7d of the attachment (compare FIG. 10). The recess 7g has a slot-like extension 7k directed in the running direction L, in order to enable the attachment 7 to be widened for latching. The recess 7g is bounded at the rear by two lugs 7h, 7i, which are directed inwards substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the side arms 7a, 7b of the attachment, toward the interior space 7m. When the clip-shaped attachment is placed on, the two lugs 7h, 7i grip under the two opposite front openings 12a, 12d in the slot 18 in the head area 2 of the core 1a and snap into the undercut behind the locking tongue 34 of the core 1a, so to speak, into a locking recess or .in the respective undercut.

The openings are all overlapped or covered by a lateral arm 7a, 7b of the attachment. When fitted, the front wall 7c and the side walls 7a, 7b of the attachment lie on the shoulder 21 of the core 1a, which runs around the head area 2 in the front area 2a and on both sides and seamlessly with the curvature of the head area 2 in the rear area 2b passes. The arms 7a, 7b have a concave curvature directed towards the interior 7m of the attachment 7. The cover element 7 serves, among other things, to seal the open lightweight construction with the webs to a certain extent and thus prevent dirt or the like from penetrating the handle head, and on the other hand to provide a surface that is as smooth and smooth as possible for the handle. The cover element is typically and preferably made of a transparent or translucent thermoplastic material, for example polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate (e.g. PMMA), POM or a mixture of such materials, so that the view of the internal structure is uncovered.

At the free end of the respective first, left arm 7a and the second, right arm 7b of the attachment, each arm 7a, 7b has a latching hook, latching web or latching pin 7e, 7f. This latching pin 7e, 7f extends from the respective arm 7a, 7b initially inwards, ie towards the interior 7m of the attachment 7 and then towards the upper rear side. These latching pins 7e, 7f are used to attach the attachment 7 to the loop attachment element 5 and thus indirectly to attach the attachment to the core 1a and also have a guiding function for the loop attachment element 5 such as described below. The latching pins 7e, 7f engage from the outside through the openings 12c and 12f, respectively, and then each engage behind the arcuate web 41. In other words, the attachment 7 is pushed on from the front, encompassing it, engages with the latching pins on the inside around the webs 41 and latches further forward with the recess 7g on the locking tongue 34.

The head area 2 of the stick grip 1 also has a rear area 2b, which faces the user of the stick grip and in which a hand strap 4 is fastened. In the first exemplary embodiment shown, the hand strap 4 is connected or coupled to the pole handle 1 via the loop fastening element 5, which is arranged in the central recess 11 in the head area 2a of the pole handle 1 and can be tilted in the illustrated embodiment by a movement shown in FIG. 5a. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the loop fastening element 5 is designed to a certain extent in the form of a block. The central recess 11 of the stick handle 1 is bounded downwards in the core 1a by a base 27 and is separated from the upper end of the stick handle recess 16 . The hand strap 4 has a loop section 4a which is designed to at least partially enclose a hand or a wrist of the user of the stick grip. The loop section 4a is arranged between a first, free loop end 4c, which protrudes from the inside of the pole grip and can be pulled by hand to reduce the loop width, and a second loop end 4d, which is fastened in or on the loop fastening element 5.

In the illustrated first exemplary embodiment, a deflection section 4b is arranged between the loop section 4a and the first, free loop end 4c, which is guided around a deflection area 22 of the loop fastening element 5 (compare in particular FIG. 2 and FIG. 6). The second loop end 4d is attached to a front side 29 of the loop attachment element 5 facing the running direction L by means of an attachment means 10 designed as a screw in the present exemplary embodiment. By forming a projection 24 running in the running direction L on the upper front edge of the loop fastening element 5, the second, fastened loop end 4d is covered upwards towards the top of the head area 2a of the pole grip 1 and protected from environmental influences, and the thickness of the loop material fastened in this area is compensated such that the front face of the loop fastener is substantially flush. For the passage of the loop band to form the loop section 4a, the loop fastening element 5 has a passage opening 26 in the form of a slit-shaped channel, which is arranged essentially parallel to the bottom surface 35 of the loop fastening element 5, which with its longitudinal axis K2 im non-tilted state or resting state of the loop fastening element 5 is arranged essentially along the longitudinal axis Ki of the head region of the stick handle. Both loop areas, which form the loop section 4a for the hand, are passed through this feed-through opening 26, ie both the area to the attached second loop end 4a and that to the free loop end 4c.

The loop fastening element 5 according to the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-14 is arranged in the central grip head recess 11 such that it can be tilted or pivoted about a rotation axis or tilting axis D about a pin 9 arranged in a through-opening 8, specifically between a rest position X1, as shown in FIG 5a, and a tilting position X2, as shown in FIG. 5b. The swivel range is approx. 30-40°. In the rest position, the loop width is fixed, and in the tilted position of the loop fastening element 5, the loop width is adjustable, the loop width in the latter position of the loop fastening element being able to be reduced by pulling on the first, free end 4a of the hand strap, and by pulling on the first, free end facing part of the loop portion 4a can be enlarged.

When the loop fastening element 5 is in the rest position, the deflection section 4b of the hand strap 4 is clamped between the bottom 27 of the grip head recess 11 and the underside or the bottom 5c of the loop fastening element 5 . The clamping is achieved here essentially in the same way as a labyrinth seal, in the form of a clamping section 23 of the loop fastening element 5, which is designed as a projection 23 directed downward toward the base 27 of the grip head recess 11. In addition to the frictional connection, there is also, to a certain extent, a positive connection via one or possibly also (several) clamping edges. The clamping force required to fix the loop is significantly lower due to the labyrinth edge than with a linear line of force, which allows for an improved clamping effect with the same clamping force or the same clamping effect with a lower clamping force. For this purpose, the base 27 of the handle head recess 11 has a clamping section 27a formed as a step 37 by means of an edge 11b. In the resting state of the loop fastening element, the loop strap is clamped here between its deflection section 4b and the first, free loop section 4a protruding outwards from the passage opening 26 of the loop fastening element 5, which is designed as a channel, by frictional engagement between the projection 23 and the stepped section 27b of the base 27 of the grip head recess 11 . The frictional connection as a result of the deflection of the free end of the loop strap after passing through the through opening 26 downwards and backwards around the loop fastening element, which occurs in a deflection area 22 (cf Figure 14) can be reinforced by corresponding transverse ribs or the like, is reinforced accordingly by the clamping between clamping projection 23 and step 27b. The latter clamping has the advantage that it is reinforced when the hand strap is typically loaded in a downward direction during use by the torque applied as a result (clockwise in the illustration according to FIG. 4).

As shown in FIG. 2, the loop attachment element 5 is a separately formed component which can be attached to a “core body” or core 1a of the stick grip 1. The attachment is made by a pin 9, which is inserted into a first through hole 8a in the left side wall of the pole grip 8b, then through a through hole 38, which extends from a first, left side wall 5a of the loop fastening element 5 to a second, right side wall 5b extends through the loop fastening element 5, and is then guided through a second through-opening 8b in the right-hand side wall of the head area 2a of the pole grip 1. The longitudinal axis of the through opening 38 or the longitudinal axis of the pin 9 is arranged essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis S of the pole grip and transversely to the running direction L when the loop fastening element 5 is inserted.

FIG. 14 shows the loop fastening element 5 or folding element in detail. The loop fastening element 5 has a curved cover section 25, which has a front edge 39 that protrudes slightly in the running direction. The cover section 25 or the upper side of the loop fastening element is divided into the upper side 6 of the stick handle 1 in the rest position and at the same time forms the rear area 2b of the head area 2 of the stick handle 1. That is caught

Loop fastening element 5 additionally through the engagement of the locking pins 7e and 7f (compare Figure 7a) in corresponding guide channels 28a and 28b.

To save weight, the loop fastener may have recesses or windows 32 where a solid construction is not required under load considerations. In general, preferably that

Loop fastening element made of a thermoplastic material, for example polyamide, polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, in each case optionally (glass) fiber-reinforced, or mixtures of such materials.

The loop fastening element 5 also has an underside 37 oriented toward the bottom 27 of the central recess 11 of the pole handle 1 when it is in the resting state inserted in the pole handle recess 11 . The loop fastening element 5 also has a first, left-hand side surface 5a and a second, right-hand side surface 5b, which are arranged parallel to a plane E spanned by the longitudinal axis of the grip head K1 and the longitudinal axis of the stick grip S, and parallel to the sectional plane AA shown in Figure 3 extend.

In both the first, left-hand side surface 5a and the second, right-hand side surface 5b, there is a guide channel 28a or 28b, which is curved in accordance with the rotary movement of the loop fastening element and extends parallel to the curvature of the cover section 25, specifically from the underside 37 of the loop fastening element 5 (groove open there) over a partial area of the respective side wall 5a, 5b, and not completely up to the front wall 29 of the loop fastening element 5. This respective guide channel 28a, 28b serves, in addition to the mentioned catching of the element, to guide the loop fastening element 5 during the Tilting around the rotation or tilting axis 9 or around the pin 9 around. This guidance is achieved in that the two above-described lateral locking pins 7e, 7f of the attachment 7, which are also correspondingly curved, engage or snap into these two guide channels 28a, 28b. This snap-in connection between the loop fastening element 5 and the attachment 7 connects the attachment 7 to the loop fastening element 5, and also indirectly connects the attachment to the core 1a of the pole grip 1 via the loop fastening element 5. The snap-in connection thus offers a guiding function for the rotation of the loop fastening element 5 at the same time between locking position and adjustment position, as well as a captive device for the attachment 7 on the core 1a of the pole grip 1.

A latching channel 33a, 33b is arranged in each of the two side surfaces 5a, 5b of the loop fastening element 5, in each of which a latching comb 31a, 31b directed inwards from the side wall 14a, 14b of the core 1a can be inserted in the rest position, i.e. in the non-tilted position of the loop fastening element 5 intervenes. The latching channels 30a, 30b each run essentially parallel to the bottom surface 37 of the loop fastening element 5. The latching combs 31a, 31b run essentially parallel to the bottom 27 of the central recess 11 of the core 1a.

In addition, each side wall 5a, 5b of the loop fastening element 5 has a further latching channel 33a, 33b, which crosses the first and the second latching channel 30a, 30b at an acute angle. The crossing point of the first locking channel 30a with the third locking channel 33c in the first side wall 5a of the loop fastening element 5 and the crossing point of the second locking channel 30b with the fourth locking channel 33d in the second side wall 5b of the loop fastening element 5 is through the through-opening 38 in the loop fastening element 5 or through defines the receiving channel for the cross pin 9 for the tiltable connection of the loop fastening element 5 on the stick handle core 1a. In this way, the loop fastening element 5 engages in the non-tilted state of rest according to FIG. 5a its first and second latching channel 30a, 30b in the two opposite latching combs 31a, 31b in the core 1a, which can be seen for example in Figure 6 on the second side wall 14b of the core 1a. In order to tilt the loop fastener 5 forward to adjust the diameter of the hand strap, the loop portion 4a of the hand strap 4 is pulled up. When the loop fastening element 5 is tilted forwards about the rotation/tilting axis or about the transverse pin 9, the locking combs 31a, 31b are pushed out of the corresponding first and second locking channel 30a, 30b, and this locking connection is thus canceled, whereby in the tilted state according to FIG 5b the locking combs 31a, 31b snap into the third or fourth locking channel 33a, 33b and thus a further locking connection is established. The snapping in and out leads on the one hand to a slight, form-fitting definition of the respective position, but on the other hand also to haptic and possibly also acoustic feedback for the user.

Furthermore, when the loop-fastening element 5 is tilted or pivoted, the clamping area 23 of the loop-fastening element 5 is lifted off the step section 27a. During the tilting process, the projection 24 on the cover section 25 of the loop fastening element 5 is also pivoted into the central recess 11 of the head area 2 .

The loop-fastening element 5 also has a front surface 29 directed toward the running direction L, the surface of which extends at an angle that is less than 90° to the bottom surface 27 of the loop-fastening element 5 . A recess 10a is arranged essentially centrally in this front surface 29 and serves to receive a fastening means 10 for the second loop end 4d. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 or FIGS. 5a, 5b, this fastening means is in the form of a screw. However, a rivet, a pin, an adhesive connection, an eyelet in the hand strap with a hook or a combination of such fastening means can also be used here.

If the loop fastening element 5 is replaced or this is dismantled, for example to replace the hand strap, then either the attachment 7 can be removed from the core 1a and from the loop fastening element 5 first, i.e. the locking connection between the locking pins 7e, 7f on the arms 7a, 7b of the attachment 7 and the loop fastener 5 can be released by spreading the arms 7a, 7b apart. This spreading also causes the locking connection between the locking tongue 34 of the core 1a and the locking lugs 7g, 7h on the bottom 7d of the attachment 7 to be released. Subsequently (or even before that), the transverse pin 9 can be removed from the through-opening 8a in the loop fastener 5 and from the Feedthrough opening 8 are pushed out below the head portion 2 of the core 1a, for example with the help of a pin with a smaller diameter. By pulling the loop fastening element 5 backwards along the locking comb 31a, 31b, the loop fastening element 5 can be removed from the central recess 11 of the core 1a.

Alternatively, the transverse pin 9 can first be pushed out of the through opening 8a in the loop fastening element 5 and out of the through opening 8 below the head region 2 of the core 1a, for example with the aid of a pin with a smaller diameter. Then, by slightly spreading the arms 7a, 7b apart and by pulling the loop fastener 5 upwards or backwards, the loop fastener 5 can be removed from the central recess 11 of the core 1a. The attachment 7 is then removed from the core 1a, i.e. the locking connection between the locking pins 7e, 7f on the arms 7a, 7b of the attachment 7 is released.

To assemble the pole grip 1 during manufacture or after the replacement or repair of the loop fastening element 5 or the hand strap 4, either the loop fastening element 5 is first inserted into the central recess 11 of the grip head 2 of the pole grip 1 essentially from behind along the longitudinal axis K1 of the head area 2 and along the locking combs 31a, 31b and fastened to the core 1a of the stick handle 1 by means of the transverse pin 9, as described above, and then, for the further, indirect connection of the loop fastening element 5 to the core 1a of the stick handle 1, the attachment 7 is placed on the core from the front 1a of the stick handle 1 pushed on. Or in the reverse order, first putting on the attachment and then inserting and fastening the loop fastening element 5 in the central recess 11 of the grip head 2 of the pole grip 1.

FIG. 15 shows a variant of the handle according to FIG. In the grip area, the handle has a surrounding casing 43 made of a cork material or a foam material (for example EVA). The casing 43 is inserted into a peripheral recess 44 in the actual area 45 of the hard core material that forms the handle. The casing 43 connects flush to the contour of the handle everywhere at the edge. This ensures a particularly grip-friendly and additionally light construction. In order that such a construction can be assembled easily, the cylindrical area 45 of the hard core material of FIG the upper part of the area forming the axial recess 16, and a lower part 49 which, for example, contains the shoulder 17 comprises and the lower part of the area that forms the axial recess 16. Advantageously, the slot 46, as shown in broken lines in the figure, is designed with a winding course 47, in particular in such a way that this ensures a certain amount of protection against rotation and, to a certain extent, also a form fit or even a force fit between the upper and lower parts can be provided. In a preferred variant, the tortuous slot 46 has longitudinal portions 50 of the edges running along the axis of the stick and transverse portions 51 of the edges running circumferentially and perpendicularly to the axis of the stick. The longitudinal edges of the twisted slot of the upper part and lower part preferably fit together almost without play or even in a sliding manner or even with frictional contact in order to achieve the most exact possible alignment of the two handle parts with regard to rotation about the pole axis. In a further advantageous manner, the twisted slit forms a distance 52 between the front-side contact surfaces of the two sleeve sections of the handle parts in its transverse course to the stick axis, with the sheathing mounted, at the transverse edges 51 . This avoids an overdetermination of the handle parts. This configuration of the slot is advantageous and is to be regarded as being in accordance with the invention, independently of the other further features of the exemplary embodiment which is used here for illustration.

Such a handle head is assembled by presenting the upper area 48, then the casing 43 is pushed onto the cylindrical area 45 from below, and then the lower area 49 is pushed from below into the lower opening in the casing 43, which is then exposed. The parts are joined together by providing adhesives between the casing and the upper 48 and lower 49 portions, in addition, bonding means may be provided between the upper 48 and lower 49 portions. Since this area is fixed at the end by the inserted stick tube, it may be sufficient if an adhesive connection is provided from the respective area 48/49 to the casing 43. Incidentally, the elastomer area already mentioned above can also be arranged analogously on the underside of the grip head in the area of the elevation 40 in a corresponding depression in the hard core material. However, such an elastomer area is typically not produced as a separate component, but simply molded onto the hard core material in a two-component process.
