Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a ski pole, in particular, which is made of hand leather and is comfortable to use, and can be made at low cost.

As shown in FIG. 1, the ski pole is constructed by attaching a grip 2 and a basket 3 to the upper and lower ends of a ski pole body 1, respectively, and attaching a hand leather 3 to the grip 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, conventional ski poles were generally composed of a handle 3, a short piece 4, and a long piece 5. Here, a buckle 6 is attached to the free end of the short piece 4.

When using, first, as shown in Figure 3,
Pass the tip of the long piece 5 through the buckle 6 to form a loop (Fig. 3A). Then, the length of the loop is adjusted by adjusting the depth of this insertion. After this, insert the hand 7 from below into this loop (Fig. 3B), and at the same time grasp the grip 2 with the hand 7 together with the base of the hand leather 3 (Fig. 3C).

By the way, such conventional ski poles had the following inconveniences regarding the manufacture and use of the hand leather 3. First, since the buckle 6 is fixed to one end of the short piece 4, the position of the buckle 6 is uniquely determined by the length of the short piece 4 when grip 2 is grasped, as shown in FIG. 3C. Unfortunately, as a result,
Each individual skier could not place the buckle 6 in his or her most preferred position.

Secondly, when adjusting the length of the loop of the hand leather 3, the smaller the loop, the longer the length of the free end of the long piece 5 becomes, and as a result, the free end tends to flap. I was getting used to it.

Thirdly, there was a risk of assembling the handle 3 incorrectly. That is, the short piece 4 of the hand leather 3 is assembled with the long piece 5 while being twisted half a turn (FIG. 3A). This is to prevent the grip 2 from twisting when gripped as shown in FIG. 3C. By the way, in the ski pole as a product, the long piece 5 and the short piece 4 are not assembled as shown in FIG. Therefore, beginners often assemble the short piece 4 and the long piece 5 without twisting the short piece 4 as shown in FIG. 3A, and as a result, they often grip the grip 2 in an unnatural shape.

Fourth, in the previous case, a total of four parts were required for the hand leather 3: the long piece 5, the short piece 4, the buckle 6, and a rivet or sewing thread (not shown) for attaching the buckle. In addition, because the number of parts is large and the degree of processing is high, manufacturing costs have increased.

The present invention was devised in view of these points, and aims to provide a ski pole that is comfortable to use and can reduce costs.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the ski pole of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8.

FIG. 4 shows the main parts of this embodiment, and in this figure, the same reference numerals are given to the parts corresponding to those in FIG. 2, and detailed explanation of each part will be omitted.

In FIG. 4, a band 10 is attached to the upper end of the grip 2, and a buckle 11 is previously attached and inserted into the band 10. The buckle 11 is made of hard synthetic resin such as polyacetal resin or metal, and has three long holes 1 as shown in FIG.
It has 1a, 11b, and 11c. The band 10 is made of synthetic fiber or leather, for example, and as shown in FIG. 6, it can be twisted half a turn and both ends left open, or it can be glued together by sewing and welding to form a loop. . In this case, since they are joined by a half-turn screw, when the grip 2 is gripped together with the base of the band 10 (see Fig. 3C),
The grip becomes more natural than the first time. Furthermore, since both ends of the band 10 are joined and then attached and fixed to the upper end of the grip 2, the twisting of the band 10 is permanent, and as in the past, beginners and others may incorrectly assemble the hand strap 3. The situation is avoided.

Also, before bonding both ends of the band 10, the adjacent elongated holes 11a of the buckle 11,
11b.

Note that 12 is a screw for attaching and fixing the band 10 to the grip 2.

In order to adjust the length of the loop of the wrist strap 3 in such a configuration, first shift the buckle 11 to an appropriate position. For example, when it is desired to increase the length of the loop, the buckle 11 can be withdrawn as shown by the arrow in FIG. Then, the free end portion 10a, which is the folded portion produced as a result, is folded back and inserted into the remaining elongated hole 11c of the buckle 11, as shown in FIG. After being inserted in this manner, the buckle 11 is securely fixed by the friction between the buckle 11 and the band 10. Therefore, the set loop length is maintained.

In this way, the length of the loop of the hand leather 3 can be adjusted very easily. Moreover, since the free end portion 10a is made of two layers, by adjusting the length of the free end portion 10a, the length of the loop can be adjusted by twice the length of the free end portion 10a. In other words, even if the loop is shortened, the length of the free end 10a can be reduced to half of the previous length, and as a result, flapping of the free end 10a can be prevented. This flapping prevention effect can be expected to be further improved since the free end portion 10a is made of two layers and the rigidity is increased accordingly.

Further, the position of the buckle 11 can also be adjusted. By doing so, the buckle 11 can be placed in a position that does not get in the way (usually in the center of the back of the hand), and as a result, it is more comfortable to use.

To adjust the position of the buckle 11, the free end 1
What is necessary is to change the position where 0a is formed. For example, 7
To position the buckle 11 in the center of the loop as shown in the figure, place the band 11 in the position indicated by a in Fig. 7.
The formation position of the free end portion 10a is determined so that the free end portion 10a is folded back. On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
When you want to shift the upper piece 10b of the band 10, for example, fold the band 10 back at the position b shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 to move the free end 10a
What is necessary is to determine the formation position of the .

In the case of FIG. 8 as well, the position of the buckle 11 is fixed by inserting the free end 10b into the elongated hole 11c (FIG. 4) as in the case of FIG. 7. Furthermore, it will be easily understood that when it is desired to shift the buckle 11 toward the lower piece 10c, the operation is the reverse of that shown in FIG. 8.

As described above, according to the ski pole of the present invention, the adjacent elongated holes 11a and 11b of the buckle 11
After the band 10 is inserted through the grip 2, the band 10 is attached to the grip 2 so as to form one loop. In use, the elongated holes 11a, 11
The length of the loop is adjusted by adjusting the length of the free end 10a pulled out from b, and then,
The length of the loop is fixed by inserting the free end 10a into another long hole 11c.

Therefore, the length of the loop of the hand leather 3 can be adjusted very easily. Moreover, since the free end portion 10a is made of two layers, it is possible to eliminate flapping. In addition, the free end 1
By changing the formation position of 0a, buckle 1
1 can be adjusted, and as a result, the usability can be further improved. Furthermore, since the hand leather 3 has three parts: the band 10, the buckle 11, and the mounting screws 12 (previously four parts), the number of parts is small, the degree of processing is low, and costs can be reduced.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it goes without saying that various configurations may be adopted without departing from the gist of the invention.
