Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] In a ski pole having a shaft 1 and a grip (grip) 2 attached to the upper end of the shaft 1, the impact when hitting a snow surface is well mitigated. It also offers a low-cost and lightweight ski pole with a simple structure. [Structure] An upper end of a shaft 1 is directly inserted into an inner space 2a of a grip 2, and a buffer made of rubber, synthetic resin or gel is inserted between the upper end of the shaft 1 and the inner space 2a of the grip 2. The material 8 is inserted.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a ski pole, and more particularly to a ski pole having a cushioning function with a more simplified structure.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, ski poles having a cushioning function to reduce the impact transmitted to the wrist, elbow, shoulder, etc. when hitting the snow surface have been put into practical use.

The structure of a conventional ski pole of this type is shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is an aluminum shaft, and 2 is a resin grip (grip) attached to the upper end of the shaft 1. A pipe-shaped shaft (hereinafter referred to as a grip inner shaft) 3 is fixed to an inner space 2 a of the grip 2, and an upper end surface of the grip 2 is attached to an inner plug 4 fitted to an upper end of the grip inner shaft 3. The hand leather 6 is fixed by being screwed through the set screw 5 from above.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an inner shaft that connects the inner shaft 3 of the grip and the shaft 1, and the lower half portion 7 a of the inner shaft 7 is fitted and fixed to the upper end portion of the shaft 1. The upper half portion 7b of 7 has a narrowed shape with respect to the lower half portion 7a, and the upper half portion 7b of the thin diameter is inserted into the grip inner shaft 3, and the upper half portion 7b of the inner shaft 7 is A cushioning member 8 is interposed between the grip and the shaft 3 in the grip.

The shock generated when the ski pole having the above-mentioned structure is struck on the snow surface is absorbed by the cushioning member 8, so that the shock transmitted from the grip 2 to the wrist, elbow and shoulder can be softened. It is a thing.

[0006]

The conventional ski pole having the above-described structure has a drawback in that the cost is high and the weight is heavy because the number of parts of the grip mounting portion is large. The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving such a problem.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a ski pole having a shaft and a grip attached to the upper end of the shaft, and has a structure in which the shaft is directly inserted into the inner space of the grip. At the same time, a cushioning material made of rubber, synthetic resin, or gel is inserted between the shaft and the grip.

[0008]

[Action]

 By inserting the cushioning material made of rubber, synthetic resin, or gel between the shaft and the grip as described above, when the ski pole hits the snow surface, the shock is absorbed by the cushioning material, so that the wrist is It can reduce the shock transmitted to the elbows and shoulders. Since this ski pole has a structure in which the shaft is directly inserted into the inner space of the grip and the cushioning material is arranged between them, the number of parts is smaller and the cost is lower and the weight is lighter than the conventional one. Planned.

[0009]

【Example】

 In the following, the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, and the portions corresponding to those in the conventional example of FIG.

FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment. The ski pole of the present invention eliminates the grip inner shaft 3 and the inner shaft 7 in the conventional ski pole of FIG. 1 described above, and inserts the upper end of the shaft 1 directly into the inner space 2a of the grip 2. Made with structure.

A cushioning material 8 is inserted between the upper end of the shaft 1 and the inner space of the grip 2, that is, the grip 2 is attached to the shaft 1 via the cushioning material 8. . The material of the cushioning material 8 is an elastic body having an appropriate hardness, specifically rubber or synthetic resin, gel (a gel material such as gelatin molded into a predetermined shape, or a gel material made of a film material. A material packaged) is preferably used.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment. This embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a ski pole whose shaft 1 has a large diameter. That is, in this case, the upper end of the shaft 1 has a narrow-diameter squeezing shape, and a cushioning material 8 is interposed in this small-diameter portion. A grip 2 is attached. The structure of the mounting portion of the grip 2 is similar to that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

In the ski pole constructed as in the first and second embodiments, the cushioning member 8 is interposed between the shaft 1 and the grip 2, so that the ski pole can be placed on the snow surface. The shock when the ball is struck is absorbed by the cushioning material 8, and therefore the shock transmitted to the wrist, elbow, shoulder, etc. can be satisfactorily reduced.

Moreover, since the rubber, synthetic resin, or gel used as the cushioning material 8 does not change in quality even after long-term use, the cushioning effect does not drop sharply and the ski is highly reliable. A pole can be provided.

Since this ski pole has a structure in which the shaft 1 is directly inserted into the inner space 2a of the grip 2 and the cushioning material 8 is arranged between them, the ski pole has a smaller number of parts than the conventional structure. As a result, the cost can be reduced and the weight can be reduced.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of this embodiment.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 As explained above, in the ski pole of the present invention, the shock when the ski pole hits the snow surface can be effectively alleviated by the cushioning material, and the cushioning effect of the cushioning material is reduced even during long-term use. It is possible to provide highly reliable ski poles. Particularly, in the ski pole according to the present invention, the structure of the grip mounting portion is greatly simplified and the number of parts is reduced as compared with the conventional structure, so that the cost and the weight are further reduced.
