Definitions

• the invention relates to a pole grip for a hiking or ski pole with a hand strap held in the region of the upper grip end piece according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
• a stick handle is known with a hand strap held in the area of the upper handle end piece, which is formed by a loop band.
• the loop length can be changed and can be fixed by means of a clamping device arranged in the handle end piece.
• the clamping device has a clamping element arranged inside the handle end piece and wrapped around by the loop band.
• the clamping element, together with the loop band, is penetrated by a locking element which extends in the direction of the axis of the stock, is guided in a guide thread and is adjustable from the outside.
• a disadvantage of this known stick handle is that a tool is required to adjust the locking element. An additional tool is especially when hiking or Skiing is not desirable as it is an additional burden and is particularly easily lost.
• the stick handle With the stick handle according to the invention, a simple actuation of the locking member is possible by turning the actuating member. An additional tool is not necessary.
• the actuator and thus the setting of how much the loop band should be clamped in the stick handle is thus possible in any position, for example even with thick gloves.
• the actuating member accessible from the outside of the handle can be designed to be visually striking, so that the technology located in the stick handle is indicated to the casual observer of the stick handle. This makes the stick handle more attractive.
• An annular disc is advantageously easy to assemble in the stick handle, which generally has a small diameter.
• An embodiment of the invention according to claim 3 is particularly preferred which enables a shapely stick handle which then has a very aesthetic overall design.
• the flush closure avoids the risk of injury.
• An embodiment of the invention according to claim 4 is provided so that the annular disc can be operated without slipping even in damp weather and in snow.
• the actuating member can be operated easily with the thumb without letting go of the stick.
• known stick handles can be converted to the new inventive embodiment.
• a metallic guide thread prevents the locking member from tearing out of the thread.
• FIG. 1 shows a stick handle, the upper handle end piece being shown in section
• Figure 2 shows a loop band in the flat
• Figure 3 is a plan view of the stick handle.
• FIG. 1 shows a stick handle 10 applied to a stick 14.
• the stick handle 10 has a handle body 15 with an upper handle end piece 12.
• the handle body 15 preferably consists of an inner molded body made of hard plastic, for example polyamide, to which a layer of grip-friendly elastomer, for example a natural rubber, is applied.
• the upper handle end piece 12 has a laterally introduced, first recess 18, which has a rectangular cross section and thus has a bottom surface 19.
• the depth of the recess 18 is preferably about% of the stick handle width.
• the stick handle 10 has a second recess 18 ′ between the front end of the stick handle 10 and the first recess 18, which is introduced into the stick handle 10 from the same side.
• a third recess 17 is made axially in the end of the upper handle end piece 12, so that there is a connection between the three recesses 17, 18, 18.
• An axial blind bore with a guide thread 27 is seen in the bottom surface 19 of the first recess 18.
• the recesses 17, 18, 18 * and the guide thread 27 serve to receive a clamping device 20.
• the clamping device 20 has a locking element 22, an actuating element 24 and a clamping element 28.
• the locking member 22 preferably consists of a threaded screw 29 with a screw head 31, which is preferably circumferentially hexagonal or quadrangular.
• a projection 30 is provided between the screw shaft 32 and the screw head 31.
• the locking member 22 has an extension of the screw head 31, a guide part 33 with a preferably round cross section.
• the actuating member 24 is preferably an annular disk 25, which has a hexagonal recess 26 in the center, into which the screw head 31 of the locking member 22 can be inserted in a form-fitting manner.
• the ring disk 25 can be inserted in a form-fitting manner in the second recess 18 'and is flush with the grip circumference, for which purpose the top of the ring disk 25 has a chamfer 23.
• the annular disc 25 inserted into the stick handle 10 is accessible from the outside over approximately half of its circumference, as shown in FIG. 3.
• the annular disk 25 is preferably knurled on the circumference.
• the clamping device 20 serves to hold a hand strap 16 and makes it possible to carry the hand strap with it different locking force in the stick handle 10. So that the hand strap 16 can be held in the clamping device 20, the hand strap 16 has the shape shown in FIG.
• the hand loop 16 is formed by a loop band 50 which has an upper end part 52 with a hole 58, a middle part 54 and a slotted end part 56 with a longitudinally extending slot 60, the two end parts 52 and 56 being narrower than the middle part 54.
• the slot 60 does not extend all the way to the end 57 of the loop band 50.
• the upper end part 52 of the loop band 50 is held in the clamping device 20 by the locking member 22 being guided through the hole 58.
• the slotted end part 56 is placed around the clamping element 28, so that the end 57 of the loop band 50 hangs freely from the first recess 18.
• the locking member 22 is guided through the slot 60 of the loop band 50.
• the surface of the clamping element 28 coming into contact with the slotted end part 57 of the loop band 50 is rounded, so that when the loop length is adjusted, the loop band 50 slips easily over the clamping element 28 without being damaged.
• the end parts 30 are attached to the shoulder 30 of the threaded screw 29 52 and 56 and the clamping element 28 pressed against the bottom surface 19 of the first recess 18 and braced against one another. If the tension which the threaded screw 29 exerts is small, the length of the loop can be changed by pulling on the end part 56 or on the middle part 54. If, on the other hand, the tension is very large, the slit is End part 56 set. The upper end part 52 of the loop band 50 is naturally fixed since the locking member 52 passes through the hole 58 of the loop band 50.
• the clamping element 28 is pressed down and thereby clamps the part of the slotted end part 56 lying between the clamping element 28 and the bottom surface 19 of the recess 18 ⁇ tion of the wrist strap 16 must be exerted at least a horizontal or upward pull. If the threaded screw 29 is tightened slightly, the tensile force required to lengthen or shorten the wrist strap 16 increases accordingly. With the threaded screw 29 this force can be adjusted continuously.
• the ends of the slot 60 define the largest and the smallest loop length when they are in contact with the locking element 22.
• the guide part 33 preferably has a marking on its visible end face, which indicates the direction in which the ring disk 25 is to be rotated so that the clamping device can be tightened or loosened (cf. FIG. 3).
• an axially guided threaded rod could also be provided, in which case the washer has a central internal thread with which the threaded rod is axially movably guided . To clamp the loop band 50, this threaded rod would have to have an attachment.
• the actuator 24 is preferably accessible on the sides assigned to the palm of the hand when the stick handle is used. This is particularly the case if the the actuating member 24 receiving second recess 18 'is introduced into the stick handle 10 from the same side as the first recess 18 receiving the loop band 50.
• the guide thread 27 is provided in a metallic sleeve 40, preferably a Rampa sleeve.
• the sleeve 40 is pressed into a plastic sleeve 42, the sleeve 40 having an extension 41 in order to prevent the sleeve from tearing upward.
• the plastic sleeve 42 is pressed into an axial recess 46 which receives a pole tube 44 and which is introduced into the pole grip from below.
• the sleeve 40 and the plastic sleeve 42 have knurls 47 and 48 on the outer circumference, so that they are pressed against rotation into the plastic sleeve 42 and the stick handle 10.
