Description

1, 118562

The present invention relates to a rod handle and a hand strap attached to an upper end of the handle having a cavity and a pivotable locking and adjusting lever in the cavity for securing the straps of the hand strap in the desired adjustment position.

A rod having a handle and a strap according to the invention is suitable for use as a ski poles, skating poles, walking and hiking poles. US 4,288,100 discloses a rod handle and a hand strap of this type. Therein, the locking lever has an eccentric cam with respect to its pivot axis, which presses the belt into the locking position.

The object of the invention is to provide a handle and a hand strap wherein the position and orientation of the handle strap opening or openings are freely selectable and wherein the strap locking is easily unlocked for adjusting the strap length while the locking mechanism is simple, durable and easy to manufacture.

The object of the present invention is achieved on the basis of the features set forth in the appended claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.

In the following, the invention will be illustrated by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: "1. Fig. 1 shows a rod handle and a wrist strap according to the invention in a top view from 1 to 30; • · • · • · 2 · · · 2 · 118562

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the handle of the invention with the locking and adjusting lever open to receive the strap to be fastened; and Fig. 3 otherwise shows the same as Fig. 1, but the direction of the hand strap 2 entering the handle and its opening 7 is horizontal, whereas in Figs. 1 and 2 the aperture 7 and the straps of the approaching belt 2 are substantially vertical.

10 The hand strap 2 is attached to the upper end of the handle 1 with a cavity space 3. The on-roll state 3 has a pivotable locking and adjusting lever 4 for securing the straps 2a, 2b of the hand strap 2 to the desired adjustment position.

The locking and adjusting lever 4 has side surfaces 5 which can be pivoted out of the hollow latch 3 and pressed back into the cavity by turning the locking and adjusting lever 4. The belt runs 2a, 2b are locked between the side surfaces 5 of the locking and adjusting lever 4 and the inner side surfaces of the cavity 3. This locking can be unlocked simply by turning the locking and adjusting lever 4 about its pivot axis 6 out of the cavity 3 (to the position shown in Fig. 2).

20 * *: **: The belt runs 2a, 2b may be guided into the cavity 3 by one or more * "*: handle openings 7 located below the pivot axis 6.

In the case of Figures 1 and 2, the belt opening 7 is substantially vertical or e.g. X-shaped and is located on the back of the handle 1. The belt openings 7 ··· 25 can also be located on the side surfaces of the handle 1. In the case of Fig. 3, the aperture 7 is substantially horizontal on the rear side of the handle and the runs of the belt 2 are guided into the cavity 3 in a horizontal plane. Inside the cavity 3, the strap 2 of the belt 2 is rotated 90 degrees so as to align with the locking and adjusting lever 4 parallel to the side surfaces 5 and can be locked by these side surfaces 5 and ··· · 30 cavity spaces 3 between inner faces.

• ♦ · • · · · · · · 3 118562

The locking surfaces 5 of the locking and adjusting lever 4 are provided with locking lugs 5a which engage the belt runs 2a, 2b. The pivot axis 6 of the locking and adjusting lever 4 is located at the rear of the cavity 3, whereby the free end of the lever 4 can be pivoted in and out of the front part of the cavity 3.

The locking and adjusting lever 4, when viewed from the side, is mainly sector-shaped. The pivot axis 6 is concentric with the outer arc of the sector and the side surfaces 5 which act as locking surfaces are perpendicular to the pivot axis 6.

The cavity space 3 may be slightly tapered when going down to obtain a self-tightening lock. When the hand strap 2 is loaded, the strap straps 2a, 2b tend to turn the locking and adjusting lever 4 deeper into the cavity 3, whereby the strap straps 2a, 2b are tightly pressed between the locking surfaces 5 of the lever 4 and the inner side faces of the hollow 3. However, the locking can be easily unlocked by pulling the belt loop upwards and / or by turning the lever 4, for example, with the spike of another rod, up from the cavity 3. To this end, the lever 4 may have a groove or a knurl.

The front, rear and side surfaces of the handle 1 and its cavity 3 are defined by 20 directions of travel. The front is in the forward direction and the rear is ·: **: the rear in the forward direction. The rod adjusts in the direction of travel according to “· 1 how the hand strap 2 forces the hand to grip the handle 1.
