Description

The Commission shall be assisted by the European Parliament.

The present invention relates to a stick handle, particularly for walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country ski sticks, or Nordic walking sticks, with a handle body with a hook-like device for attaching a handhold, particularly in the form of a glove or glove, in which the restraint devices are arranged in the hook-like device area in such a way that a sloping, ring- or eye-shaped device, which is intended to be fitted to the handhold, is automatically fixed in the hook-like device by means of a self-timer.

The technique is standing

WO 2006/066423 A1 describes a grip with a grip to attach a handhold. This grip, especially for walking sticks, trekking sticks, alpine ski sticks, cross-country walking sticks, Nordic walking sticks, has a grip body and a hook-like device to attach a handhold, particularly in the form of a handcuff or a glove. In the hook-like device area, movable or twisting devices are arranged in such a way that a device essentially pushed from above into the hook-like device, a sliding, ring-like or oval-shaped device intended for the handhold, is automatically fixed in the hook-like device. The design of all devices is described in this section, including the hook-like device, which is designed to be easily accessible to the user.This may, in particular at temperatures below freezing, result in the restraint being blocked, for example by icing, or in the oval device being unable to freeze or unfreeze, the latter being likely to constitute a safety hazard in the event of a fall. Moreover, the restraint of the embodiment described in connection with Figures 4 and 5 can only be released by means of a documentary operation by means of the other operator's hand or, in particular, by means of the operator's hand grip,However, due to the asymmetrical formation of the grip head, it is not possible to use it in a convenient way, e.g. by using the thumb.

The following shall be considered as a single product:

The present invention is intended to provide a grip for cross-country skiers, in particular biathletes, which overcomes the disadvantages of the state of the art.

This task is solved by a stick handle as claimed 1.

The grip of the invention is particularly suitable for trekking poles, Nordic walking poles, alpine ski poles or cross-country ski poles. It has a handle head and a handle body, and a hook-like device for attaching a handhold, in particular in the form of a glove or glove. In the area of the hook-like device, at least one removable, deflectable or twisting support is arranged in such a way that a loop, ring or eye-shaped device, essentially inserted into the hook-like device from above, is provided with a handhold which is automatically fixed in the hook-like device.

The hook-like device at the handle is placed hand-side in the upper part of the grip or in the handle head. The hook-like device consists of a hook or pin which is lowered from the handle by forming an insertion slot to the hand side or is placed as a cut in the handle body. The hook or pin may be placed essentially parallel to the handle axis, but it may also be in a plane tensioned by the handle axis and the direction of travel in certain directions to the rear, i.e. to the back or hand side, and inclined by a slight angle β, so that it is not accessible from above parallel to the handle axis but slightly sloping from above. The corresponding angle β (figure 1 in the figure) is in the range of 0-15°, so that the corresponding positive angle can be understood as a counter-indication, with a positive figure 1 in the figure.The hook-like device is preferably mounted on the handle body. The hook or pin may have a circular cross-section in the cross-section with its axis of extension, but may also have an oval cross-section. A particularly preferred embodiment of the hook or pin is characterised by the fact that the cross-section is D-shaped, with the hook or pin being mounted in a circular cross-section in the direction of the hand holding the respective holder.which is shaped in a corresponding D-shape or is fixed to the handhold so that a corresponding rigid flattened zone faces directly to the hand, this results in a deflection of the hand loop against the grip/pencil by attaching the two flattened areas of loop/axle to the grip/pencil. The depth of the insertion slot is preferably greater than the width and thickness of the grip or pencil. On average, in a preferred embodiment, the hook-type device has a width of 3-15 mm, preferably in the range of 4-10 mm, with the hooks being cut in a particularly careful direction, at least vertically, to a horizontal or vertical direction, preferably in a straight line,Typically, the depth of the introduction slot (understood as the length of the slot essentially parallel or slightly inclined to the rod's longitudinal axis) is in the range of 5 to 50 mm, preferably in the range of 10 to 30 mm.

The restraint is formed in the form of a restraint shaft or restraint nose, which in a tensioned position downwards defines a restricted or enclosed area for the loop, ring or eye-shaped device. To this end, an exception is provided in the handle head and/or handle body from above, in which a movable and/or rotatable storage fixed block is located or in which the restraint is located. The essence of the invention is that the block has an operating area at its top, which forms at least part of the handle head and which, in a rear handle head area, hand-handshapedly extends the opening without at least several openings, giving access to the opening.

In other words, the operating area overlies the insertion slot but allows it to be accessed from one side of the hand or from behind or slanted from above, so that the loop, ring or eyepiece device of the handhold can be placed or guided over the restraint.

In order to prevent the penetration of water, dirt or snow through this slot between the operating area and the respective sidewall, the lower edge of the operating area may be gradually formed accordingly, for example, and the adjacent sidewall there correspondingly graduated, or blocks may also be formed in this area from a labyrinth of edges.According to the invention, the operating area in a rear grip head area has a continuation, either hand-side or rearward, which preferably runs essentially transversely to the length of the grip axis along a horizontal direction (as opposed to the direction of the user's gait) and which at least partially overlaps the insertion slot. Thus, the insertion slot is at rest, in which the restraint is tensioned against the hook-like device, and in a trigger position, in which the insertion device at least partially releases the insertion slot, at least partially overlaps the insertion slot of the operating area.The device shall be mounted on a vertical surface, preferably at a height of 100-105 degrees, in a plane stretched by the longitudinal axis of the handle and the rotating axis, leaving more room for attaching the handhold or for introducing the loop, ring or eyepiece device to the handle.

It is also advantageous if the operating area in the front grip head area extends more vertically than the grip head in the front grip head area.

In another preferred embodiment, the fixing block is rotatably mounted on the handle by means of a transverse pin, which is used to mount the fixing block in the handle, and which penetrates the fixing block and the side walls of the handle. Preferably, a lower edge of the operating area forms a side wall of the handle, and preferably the three lateral turns of the handle on both sides also form at least a circular arc around the axis of the fixing block.

The detection block may be formed individually with the control area or moulded on the control block, so that in this embodiment the control area forms to a certain extent the uppermost part of the detection block.

The operating area is preferably, when viewed from the side of the grip, or in relation to or relative to a plane stretched by the longitudinal axis of the grip and the running direction, convex, downward curved or arched. Preferably, the operating area is at least in the front grip head area and also in the hand rear grip head area, arched downwards, allowing for a convenient grasping of the grip head from above, for example by supporting it. This allows the control block/operating area to be operated in several ways, notably by the thumb, index finger, other or the same hand.

In addition, depending on the particular embodiment preferred, the operating area shall be either alternately opposite or relative to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the stick grip, convex or downward curved or arc-like.

A particularly handy embodiment has an operating area with a structure on its top, in particular a ribbing, which is suitable to prevent slipping of a user's finger, preferably in both a rear or hand-handed grip head area and a front grip head area of the operating area.

For ergonomic reasons and material savings, another preferred embodiment is the running area in the front hand grip head area and/or the hand-side rear hand grip head area, seen from above, in a convergent direction.

This function is particularly advantageous in a gripper whose operating range has a substantially straight section in a front grip head area, extending at the top essentially horizontally to the grip head axis in a running direction, preferably over a length of 1.0-3.5 cm, preferably over a length of 1.5-3.5 cm, preferably especially 2-3 cm. This is particularly advantageous if the operating range in the front grip head area has a downward curved end adjacent to the straight section. The downward curvature on the forging side or underside of the forging set in the grip head area in question is essentially horizontal, preferably over a length of 1.0-3.5 cm, preferably over a length of 1.5-3.5 cm, and preferably over a length of 2-3 cm. This is particularly advantageous if the operating range in the front grip head area has a downward curved end adjacent to the straight section. The downward curvature on the forging side or underside of the forging set in the grip head area describes the forging head area in question, so that the forging material in the front of the forging head can have at least one circular cross-section, and the material at the end of the forging can have at least the same or a somewhat smaller radius of mass, and therefore a slightly less mass.

The restraint described above is preferably in the form of a restraint or resting nose, preferably located on or in the restraint block or formed individually with the restraint block.

This restraint axis defines a restricted area for the loop, ring or oval device in a position tensioned against the hook-like device (resting position of the restraint mechanism during the use of the stick) downwards, thus trapping the loop, ring or oval device in this restricted area until it is released by triggering the restraint mechanism by twisting/tipping the operating area in a direction towards one side of the user's hand or at night (against the direction of travel).

The spring is preferably placed in an extension of the fixing block, the extension being preferably in a forward, running direction or in a region of the fixing block facing away from the hook-like device. There, the spring in this preferred embodiment is tensioned in the extension of the grip head against a (front) inner wall of the grip head. This allows for a self-extracting mechanism. The restraint spring is preferably located in an extension of the fixing block, with the extension being preferably in a forward, running direction or in a region facing away from the hook-like device.

In a particularly favourable embodiment, the fixing block can be tilted from the outside over the operating area, with the spring's force against the rotation axis, allowing the self-resistance to be released. The operating area is tilted to one side of the user's hand. This can be achieved conveniently by means of the index finger or thumb of the hand. In the above described variant for biathlon sport with the continuation at the front grip head area, the operating area can also be operated upwards or deflected by an axial grip of the index finger held below the grip nose along the stick axis.

The handle may also have a self-extinguishing mechanism, for example as a safety feature, which can be achieved by a separate mechanism, as described in WO 2006/066423, or by simply aligning the lower part of the restraint base, in particular slightly upwards to the backbone, so that a sufficient force of upward pull on the loop/axle can be applied to deflect the spring against the back force of block 12.

The present invention also relates to a cane, in particular a walking stick, trekking stick, alpine ski stick, cross-country ski stick, or Nordic walking stick with a handle in one of the embodiments described above.

Further embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

The following shall be considered as a single entry:

Figures 1a to 7b show a grip according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention, which is particularly suitable for cross-country or Nordic walking. The hand side H is the back of the grip from which the user grips grip 1 and from which the grip is coupled to grip 1. The direction of travel L is oriented forward V as viewed from the user's view. The grip 1 shown, suitable for holding a grip, has a grip 3 and a grip 2 attached to the grip.The grip head 2 has a hand-side or rear grip head area 2a extending in a direction R opposite to a running direction L and has a front grip head area 2b which is oriented in a running direction L when the stick is used. The grip head 2 is formed in its front grip head area 2b with a slanted downward flank 15 in the grip head 2 from above, a grip head 8 is designed to accommodate a fixed 9 block. This grip head is bounded downwards by 8The rotation of the control block 9 is achieved by operating an operating area 10 in a rotation D towards the hand side H. This operating area 10 forms the top or top end of the control head 2, or covers the parts 18 and the backward sloping side of the control head 15 2. Furthermore, the wider operating area 10a is extended to a larger control area than the control head 2 in the control head 2 area.In this example, the operating range 10 overlaps the side turns 18 of the grip head 2 in a direction perpendicular to the axis S of the length of the grip. This means that the operating range 10 is wider at its widest point b1 than the width of the grip head 2 at its widest point below the operating range 10 or the maximum distance between the two side turns 18 of the grip head to be located below the operating range 10.7a and 7b. In addition, the operating area 10 is shown running in the front grip head area 2b and in the rear grip head area 2a. Seen from the side, i.e. in a plane E1 stretched by the running direction L and the longitudinal axis S, the operating area 10 has an arc-like or curved design. This design, when viewed from the side, is important as mentioned above for the possibility of operating with both the thumb (from the back) and the index finger (from the front) with the same hand.The same is true of the operation area 10, in the illustrated example, in a plane E2 running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle S and through the direction of travel L and the axis of rotation 11, which has a curved formation, which is not clearly visible in the figures. Furthermore, the handle 1 of the invention has a hook-like device 4 which forms part of the handle 3. It is realized by a slot 6 in the handle 2 or in the upper part of the handle 3.A device in the shape of a ring or an eye is fitted to a hand-held device of the user.

In the rear or hand-side grip head area 2a, the operating area 10 has a continuation 10c, which overlaps the insertion slot 6 and is accessible from the hand side H. In the example shown, the continuation 10c has a slanted/angled upward flank 17 at an angle α of about 105 degrees to the longitudinal axis S, measured in a plane E1 stretched by the length of the grip S and the direction of travel L.

In Figure 1a or in the cross-sectional representation in Figure 6a, the gripper 1 is shown in a resting position, which means that the restraint 5, i.e. the restraint shaft or restraint nose, is tensioned against the hook-like device 4 and either a loop, ring or oval device of the user's gripper is trapped in a restricted area 7, or no gripper is coupled to the gripper 1. The gripper can be inserted into the entry slot 6 at rest and fixed to the gripper 1 by itself without touching the operating area 10.

In Figure 1b and in the intersection in Figure 6b, the gripper 1 is shown in a release position. Compared to the resting position in Figure 1a, the operating area 10 is moved or tilted backwards to the hand side with its lower edge 19 along the side walls 18 of the gripper head. The continuation 10c thus overhangs the gripper 4 more than in the resting position.This is achieved by the user applying the action range 10 against the force of a spring 12, thereby tilting the restraint block 9 and removing the restraint shaft 5 moulded on the restraint block 9 from the insertion slot 6 or tilting it out of the slot 6 into the handle head exception 8. This frees the restraint 5 from the restraint area or the restricted or enclosed area 7 and the loop, ring or oval device in the restricted area 7 can be removed or moved over the horn 4 or the longitudinal section of the rod is shown in Figure 1a of Figure 1.There the leaf spring 12 intended to tension the anchorage block 9 is shown in a corresponding front exception 13 in the anchorage block 9, which is tensioned to the rear or to the hand side H against the restraint axis 5 and to a front side V against the front inner wall 14 of the grip head 2 in the exception 8.

The continuation 10c at the operating range 10 and the movement path of the operating range 10 for the triggering movement shall be designed or adjusted to provide access to the induction slot 6 in both the rest and the trigger positions, at least in one direction from rear to front and parallel to the running direction L.

The control area 10 also has a structure 16 or a ribbing on its top, both in the rear grip 2a and in the front grip 2b, which gives the user a more grippable surface when the restraint is triggered. The structure 16 is positioned at the rear and front, as the user can operate the control area 10 in a more rotational direction with both the thumb and the index finger of the hand attached to the stick 1 by means of a handhold (or a finger of the other hand).In the example shown, the anchorage block 9 is formed in several parts, with a lower section 9a, on which the anchorage block 9 is mounted in the grip head 2 by means of a cross-pin along the axis of rotation 11, and which forms the restraint 5 and the exception 13 for the inclusion of the leaf spring 12.9b, 10 may be made of the same or different materials, whereby, in the case of different materials, a softer material is suitable for the operating area 10 protruding from the grip head 2 than for the sections 9a, 9b of the fixing block 9a, 9b, which are sunk in Exception 8 of the grip head 2. However, the fixing block 9 may also be partially formed, whereby the operating area 10 is either formed as the uppermost section of the fixing block 9 or is moulded or fixed on the fixing block.

As can be seen from Figure 2b, the handhold 4 has a flattening 4b on the side facing the hand side H in the cross section. This makes the handhold D-shaped to some extent, with the area facing the hand side straight. This design of the handhold's cross section can be used to create a distortion of the loop or axis 24 schematically shown in Figures 1a and b at the bottom of the slot (once caught in the restricted area 7 in Figure 1a, and not once caught and some mass already prepared for the slot in Figure 1b) by preventing or even preventing it from running entirely.

As mentioned at the outset, the axis 25 of the 4th bracket can be parallel to the axis S of the length of the handle, but as shown in Figure 1b, and this is the preferred design for certain applications, the 25th bracket can also be tilted slightly backwards at an angle β which is shown in Figure 1b to be positive in the direction of the vehicle.

The second embodiment differs from the first only in the design of the operating area 10. The operating area 10 shows in the second upper embodiment of the figures 8-14 in addition to the 10c head in the rear grip area 2a, a 10c head in the rear grip area 2b. The operating area 10a is realised by a force applied in the rear direction to the load area 10a.Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 641 (char 640)Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 303 (char 302) BEZUGSZEICHENLISTE
