DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings, and parts having the same functions as those of the conventional example are given the same reference numerals. (First Embodiment) This embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a head portion 3 of a ski pole, in which a pipe 7 and a grip portion 9 made of urethane resin are fixed with a fixing fitting 15 via a core material 5 made of nylon. This fixing fitting 15 has a threaded part 17 inserted through the grip head 19 and fixed to the core member 5, and a male threaded part 18 on the opposite side for attaching a still camera or the like. That is, as a means for fixing the flexible head of a still camera, a video camera, a tripod, or a monopod, these instruments are formed with female threads, so the male thread 18 is formed to utilize such female threads. . By forming the head portion 3 of the stock in this manner, a still camera, a video camera, etc. can be fixed to the head portion 3, and if the stock is erected, it can be used as a so-called monopod. Alternatively, even when using a tripod head, a still camera or the like can be fixed via the head. Therefore, you can take pictures without camera shake at the ski resort without having to bring a tripod or the like.

(Second Embodiment) In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the grip head 1 is different from the stock of the first embodiment.
9 is a sectional view of the cap 20 attached to the cap 9. In the first embodiment, the male screw 18 protrudes from the grip head 19 and is dangerous, so a cap 20 is attached. The canopy part 21 of the cap 20 is made of a hard resin, and the clamping part 22 is made of a flexible resin so that it can be easily covered and tightly attached to the grip head 19, and can be easily attached and detached.

(Third Embodiment) In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a fixing member 24 is mounted and fixed on the grip head 19 of a conventional stock (FIG. 10) to form a fixing means. That is,
A flat plate 25 on which a male screw 18 of a size that can be screwed onto a still camera or the like is set upright is fixed to a grip head 19 with screws 26. If such a fixing means is adopted, it can be easily formed on a conventional ski pole. Incidentally, in order to prevent the danger of the protruding male screw 18, etc., the cap described in the second embodiment is used.

(Fourth Embodiment) This embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 shows a cross section of the head portion 3, in which a groove 29 is formed in the grip head 19, and an adapter 28, which will be described later, is fixed with a screw 30. The adapter 28 is formed with a screw 31 that engages with the aforementioned screw 30, and a male screw 18 that can fix a still camera, a video camera, or a tripod flexible head. Note that a groove 33 is formed on the surface of the adapter 28 in which a coin can be inserted and the adapter 28 can be rotated. When the adapter 28 is not in use, it is stored in the state shown in FIG.
Remove the adapter 28 via the coin. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the adapter 28 is reversed and the screws 30, 3
Fixed via 1. If a still camera or the like is attached to the male thread 18, the stock can be used as a so-called monopod. Note that the fixing means of this embodiment is effective in terms of safety because no protrusion is formed when not in use.

(Fifth Embodiment) This embodiment is shown in FIG. 6 (cross-sectional view).
Explain with reference to. This embodiment is for attaching a tripod head 40. Attachment part 4 of tripod flexible head 40
1 has a hexagonal outer cross section and a screw (not shown) formed inside. In this embodiment, instead of fixing with internal screws, the outer part is inserted and fixed. Therefore, the fixing metal fitting 15
The screw part 17 is inserted into the core material 5 and fixed thereto, and the hexagonal nut hole 42 into which the attachment part 41 of the tripod flexible head 40 can be inserted is on the opposite side.
is formed. That is, as a means for fixing a flexible head for a tripod or a monopod, a hexagonal nut hole 42 is formed with a size that allows the attachment part 41 of the flexible head to be inserted. to fix the tripod flexible head 40. Incidentally, in order to protect the protruding portion, it is good from a safety standpoint to protect it with a cap similar to that of the second embodiment. Incidentally, the fixture 15 of this embodiment may be formed so as to be attachable to a conventional stock head, as shown in FIG. If such a fixing means is adopted, it can be easily formed on a conventional ski pole. In addition, cover with a cap to prevent the danger of the protruding hexagonal nut.

(Sixth Embodiment) In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 (cross-sectional views), adapters 28a and 28b are used to form a fixing means. Grip head 19 has female screw 4
The embedded nut 46 having the shape 5a is fixed with a wood screw 11. On the other hand, the adapter 28a is formed with a male screw 45b that is screwed into the screw 45a, and a male screw 18 on the opposite side through a rotary knob 47 to which a still camera or the like can be screwed. Therefore, by attaching this adapter 28a, the stock can be used as a monopod for a still camera, etc. After use, if the adapter 28a is removed, the stock will not form any protrusions and will be safe. Further, FIG. 8 shows a cross section of another adapter 28b, and FIG. 9 shows a plan view, and a hexagonal nut hole 42 is used instead of the male screw 18 of the adapter 28a shown in FIG.
is formed. If this adapter 28b is used, the attachment part 41 (see FIG. 6) of the tripod head can be inserted, and the stock can be used as a fixture for a still camera or the like via the tripod. Note that the shape of the rotary knob 47 of the adapter 28a is not only circular as shown in FIG. 9, but may also be formed into a rectangular shape or the like.

[0012] In the above embodiment, the fixing means is formed in the head portion, but it goes without saying that the fixing means may be formed in the grip portion as well. In addition, the fixing means is to use the female screws formed for tripods and tripod heads attached to cameras currently on the market, but male screws and elongated holes are used as fixing devices for tripods etc. It goes without saying that in the case where the ski pole is formed with a ski pole, a fixing means compatible with such a fixing device is formed on the head portion or the grip portion of the ski pole.

According to the pole of the present invention, since the pole is provided with means for fixing a still camera, etc., the camera can be fixed at a ski resort without bringing a tripod or the like. Therefore, you can take pictures without camera shake.
