Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a handheld device with a coupling element and a stick handle with a hook-like device for self-locking mounting of such a handheld device, in particular for a ski pole, a Nordic walking pole, a cross-country skiing pole or a hiking pole.

STATE OF THE ART

From the prior art, for example from DE 299 06 612 U1, either walking stick handles are known which are gripped by the user across the longitudinal axis of the stick in one direction, or walking stick handles with a knob, such as from DE 10 2006 008 066 A1, which are suitable only for gripping from above. Further walking stick handles and hand grip devices are known from DE 19751978 A1 and US 2010/0218347 A1.

In EP 2 168 641 an ergonomic walking stick handle is described, which is suitable for both types of grip. This walking stick handle allows the user to use it in a convenient and ergonomic way not only from one direction, essentially perpendicular to the stick's longitudinal axis, as known from ski poles, but also for support or pushing off by applying force from above, which is particularly useful, for example, on sloping terrain. The walking stick handle described there includes a device for adjustable mounting of a conventional hand loop. For this purpose, the handle head has a recess in the rear part of the handle for receiving a hand-holding device or a clamping element connected to a hand-holding device. The device includes an eccentric element rotatable and/or pivotable about an axis. Thus, the fastening means guided between the surface of the eccentric element and a fixed counterbearing in the mounting area, or a hand loop or a clamping element attached to it, is clamped between the eccentric element and the counterbearing by rotating or pivoting the eccentric element in the tightening direction. The eccentric element is rotatable or pivotable via a lever or folding handle for clamping the hand-holding device. The length of the hand loop is adjustable, but the hand loop is fixedly attached to the handle.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Here the invention comes into play. According to this, the invention is based on the object of providing an improved hand-holding device for a walking stick handle with regard to the state of the art. In particular, it is about improving a hand-holding device for coupling to a walking stick handle, such as for walking sticks, trekking poles, alpine ski poles, cross-country ski poles, and Nordic walking poles, especially for handle ends with a curved handle head suitable for being gripped from above. Another object is to provide a walking stick handle that can be used, among other things, but not necessarily, with such a hand-holding device. The object is solved, among other things, by a hand-holding device according to one of claims 1-7. The inventive hand-holding device is intended for attachment to a walking stick handle,preferably for attachment to a walking stick handle according to claims 8-14, particularly preferably for a ski pole, a Nordic walking pole, a cross-country skiing pole or a hiking pole, as described, for example, in EP 2 168 641. The inventive hand grip device is especially suitable for attachment to a walking stick handle according to claims 8-14 as described below, but is an independent invention regardless of the walking stick handle described below and can thus also be used for attaching to differently designed walking stick handles. From WO 2006/066423 and WO 2006/066424, a walking stick handle or a hand grip device suitable for coupling to the walking stick handle with a self-locking mechanism is known. At first glance, it seems not possible,To use such a coupling mechanism for a walking stick handle that can be grasped both from above and from the side, as described, for example, in EP 2 168 641, since the short distance defined by the coupling element between the retaining pin and the handle device prevents the user from grasping the knob from above. However, the handle device proposed here, respectively the walking stick handle proposed here, allows this with corresponding adjustments in an surprisingly practical and efficient manner. The handle device includes an opening for the hand, a first opening for the back of the hand, and a second opening for the thumb, and further comprises a first strip guided between the thumb and the other fingers,where a coupling element is provided, which can be self-lockingly secured in and/or on the handle grip by means of a removable mechanism. The core of the invention is that the first strip is at least partially elastic. The elasticity of the first strip, to which the coupling element is attached, allows a user to grasp the handle head of the walking stick from above even when the handle device is attached to the handle grip, i.e., to switch between a lateral gripping position of the handle body and a top gripping position of the handle head, depending on the terrain or the gait. Preferably, the first strip is elastic at least in a region of the handle device facing away from the hand.that is, in a region that runs on the back side of the hand. In contrast, it is preferred if the portion of the first strip extending from the coupling element toward the inner surface side of the handle device is non-elastic, for example in the form of a one- or multi-layered strap that forms this non-elastic portion of the first strip or is sewn onto the first strip in the inner surface area. The load on the hand loop mainly occurs in the inner surface area of the hand loop when the hand is pulled downward, and mainly in the outer surface area of the hand loop when the hand moves upward. Therefore, it is preferable that the length of the first strip does not or only slightly increases when the hand moves downward.While the length of the first strip is significantly increased when the hand moves upward (such as when gripping the handle from above), allowing the handle to be comfortably grasped from above. A strip with a length of 5 cm is considered elastic when a force of 10 N is applied, if it undergoes a length change of at least 3 mm, preferably at least 5 mm, 10 mm, or even 15 mm or 20 mm. In contrast, "non-elastic" in the context of this invention means that when the aforementioned force of 10 N is applied to a strip of the same length, the elongation is less than 3 mm,Preferably less than 2 mm, and in particular preferably less than 1 or 0.5 mm. The handle device has a second strip between the thumb and the other fingers or between the first exit opening for the back of the hand and the second exit opening for the thumb, which preferably integrally connects a outside-hand area of the handle device and an inside-hand area of the handle device. The first strip overlaps the second strip, forming a gap. This spacing or separation is necessary so that when gripping the handle from above, the hand loop remains in its normal fit on the hand, while the first strip can be stretched in length due to its elasticity independently of this, thus allowing the distance of the coupling element from the hand to be increased.In the area below the securing element, both straps are loosely placed to allow a wrapping movement around the handle's head. In the subordinate extension of the second strap, it is fixed on the inner side of the hand on the handle device, in order to be able to absorb tensile forces in the intended direction of load. According to another preferred embodiment, the second strap is multi-layered in the hand outer surface area, i.e., at least formed from two preferably non-elastic material layers, and the first, elastic strap extends in the hand outer surface area between two such material layers of the second strap. Thus, the first, elastic strap is led through a tunnel or channel formed preferably in the hand outer surface area of the second strap.In this case, it can be advantageous if the first elastic strip, in its non-stretched state, does not or only slightly protrudes from the tunnel, and only protrudes from the tunnel when the user's hand grasps the handle from above, that is, when the first elastic strip is loaded or stretched. The handle device can be designed as a hand loop or in the form of a glove. In the case of a glove, the coupling element is arranged on a first strip which overlaps the strip or glove section guided between the thumb and index finger. The strip guided between the thumb and index finger, which forms part of the glove, is to be understood as the second strip.The first strip is preferably a strip attached to the handle device, which is formed at least in a first area from an elastic or stretchable material, preferably a rubber-elastic material. For example, the first, elastic area of the elastic strip can be formed from an elastic band or rubber band, or from a textile composite material having elastic and non-elastic areas and/or components. The first, elastic area is preferably arranged on the outer side of the hand area. It is also conceivable that the entire first strip is formed from an elastic band, but in the case of a non-elastic area, for example on the inner side of the hand area of the loop, it is sewn with a non-elastic strap in this non-elastic area.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the first strip connects the outer-hand-surface side area of the handle device with the inner-hand-surface side area of the handle device, or in addition to the second strip, provides another connection between these two areas. According to the invention, the first strip is fastened to the handle device at its first, outer-hand-surface side end and at its second, inner-hand-surface side end, preferably by sewing. It is particularly preferred if the handle device is at least partially multi-layered in an outer-hand-surface side area. In such a case, the first strip is preferably fastened at its first, outer-hand-surface side end, which faces the opening for inserting the hand on the top side of the handle or on the outer-hand surface, between a first material layer and a second material layer of the handle device.Preferably sewn on. The seam can pass through all layers of material of the handle device. It is advantageous if the outer surface side area of the handle device has a slit or an insertion opening, through which the first strip, or the elastic portion of the first strip, can enter and is guided, so to speak, in a "tunnel" between two layers of material until it is fixed. Preferably, the portion of the elastic section of the first strip located outside the tunnel, measured from the coupling element to the point where the first strip enters the slit or insertion opening, is smaller than the tunnelled portion, which runs under the upper layer of material of the outer surface side area of the handle device.It is particularly advantageous if the first strip, or its end on the side facing away from the hand, is fastened near the opening for the hand at the side of the handle device that faces away from the hand. This allows the length of the elastic section of the first strip to be maximized, thus enabling a maximum gripping position of the handle head from above, without the elastic retraction force of the elastic strip being perceived as uncomfortable, or the retraction force pulling the user's hand back into a lateral gripping position. The distance of the fastening point or seam from the edge of the handle device adjacent to the opening for the hand is up to 0.5–5 cm, preferably up to 0.5–3 cm. In particular, this fastening is preferably located at a distance of 1.5–2.5 cm from this opening for the hand. Preferably, the distance of the coupling element to the fastening of the first strip on the outer side of the hand area is greater than the distance of the coupling element to the fastening of the first strip on the inner side of the hand area of the handle device. According to the invention, the first strip is preferably not attached to the handle device in a region between its fastening on the outer side of the hand area of the handle device at its first, outer-side end and its fastening on the inner side of the hand area of the handle device at its second, inner-side end, particularly in a region of the coupling element or in its vicinity. Thus, the first strip is located in a region where it does not connect the second strip, which integrally connects the inner side of the hand area with the outer side of the hand area of the handle device.overlapping, forming an intermediate space from the main body of the handle device. In the embodiment mentioned above, where the second strip is multi-layered in the area of the outer hand surface, and where the first, elastic strip runs between two such material layers of the second strip in the area of the outer hand surface, the said intermediate space can be limited to a minimum, i.e., the first strip and the second strip may possibly touch each other in this overlapping area, but are not connected to each other in this overlapping area, or are designed as two separate elements in this overlapping area, or are displaceable relative to each other. The coupling element can, for example, be designed as a toothed rigid element,as a hook-shaped device or preferably as a flexible loop-, ring- or eye-shaped device, wherein the coupling element is particularly preferably formed as a flexible loop or eye and basically made of a low-stretch, possibly braided material, or of a twisted or coated wire-like material. Preferably, the loop or eye is made of a cable, a clip or a flexible plastic cord with self-stiffness. In the case of the loop or eye, the handle device is especially suitable for attachment to a walking stick grip according to one of claims 8-14, since this has a hook-shaped device to which the hand loop can be coupled. The handle device preferably comprises a first fastening device, which can be variably set, in the area between the opening for insertion of the hand and the first exit opening for the back of the hand.for example by means of two complementary hook-and-loop areas.

It is also an object of the invention to provide an improved walking stick grip with a hook-like device for securing a hand support. This object is particularly solved by a walking stick grip according to one of claims 8–14. The inventive walking stick grip is suitable for a walking stick, preferably for a ski pole, a Nordic walking pole, a cross-country skiing pole or a hiking pole, and comprises a handle body and a handle head with a hook-like device for securing a hand support, particularly for securing a hand support according to one of claims 1–7, especially in the form of a hand loop or a glove. The inventive walking stick grip is a separate invention independent of the hand support described above.The inventive handle can be used in combination with the inventive hand loop, but other hand-holding devices equipped with a loop- or eye-shaped device can also be connected to this handle. The handle head is preferably formed on the upper handle body area, but it can also be shaped onto a tube forming the central opening for the staff tube, or it can be mounted on the upper handle body area or the tube, or inserted into the tube. The hook-like device is attached to a separate locking module or forms part of it. The locking module can be inserted into a recess accessible from the side of the hand and/or from above, in particular into an axially accessible recess from above of the handle head, and can be fixed to or on the handle head.In and/or on the locking module, movable or rotatable latching means are arranged such that a coupling element, which is formed as a loop-shaped, ring-shaped, or eye-shaped device and is provided on the handle device, is self-locking inserted into and fixed to the hook-shaped device and the locking module, essentially from above. The locking module is attached to the handle end by at least one cross pin arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle grip, and additionally secured by a second cross pin. At least one of the cross pins simultaneously serves for attaching a cover to the handle end, as described below. According to a further preferred embodiment, the handle end has a cover arranged on its upper side,which is convex according to a particularly preferred embodiment and may have reinforcing braces and/or shoulders and/or other reinforcing and/or guiding structures. Preferably, the cover is designed to be removable. For this purpose, the cover may, for example, have a locking protrusion which extends into the interior of the head section and can be self-locking fixed in a structure provided for this purpose. Alternatively, the handle head may also have a locking protrusion which can engage or lock into a recess of the cover when the cover is mounted. Preferably, the cover has two legs at its rear end, facing the direction opposite to the direction of rotation, which in the rest position are essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle shaft.extend along the rod's longitudinal axis. These arms can each have a recess through which a second transverse pin or axle pin can be passed perpendicular to the rod's longitudinal axis and to the direction of travel, preferably parallel to the handle head's transverse axis. The two recesses of the arms are preferably aligned with two recesses in the handle head. By means of the second, essentially horizontally arranged transverse pin, the cover can be attached at the head area and simultaneously the locking module for securing a hand strap to the handle head can also be fixed. In this case, the second transverse pin preferably passes through the handle head perpendicular to the rod's longitudinal axis and to the direction of travel, as well as through the two arms of the cover. The locking module preferably includes a latch block that is slidably and/or rotatably mounted.in which a locking element is arranged. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the locking module further comprises an actuating element mounted on the locking block and tiltable from the outside against spring force by releasing the self-locking. The actuating element or its release button is preferably shaped contour-forming on its upper side, at least partially, on the upper side of the handle head and/or on a hand side directed towards the handle device. The upper side of the actuating element on the upper side of the handle head is at least partially, and particularly almost completely, integrated into the outer contour of the handle head in a rest position, and this is preferably also maintained during an actuation movement of the actuating element or the release button. The outer contour of the handle head extends essentially in a half-circle or arc shape from the tip of the handle head to a hand-side boundary between the handle head and the handle body.It is particularly advantageous if the locking module is provided with an axial spiral spring arranged within a cavity of the handle body, which is tensioned downward toward the emergency release, and whose tension can preferably be adjusted via a adjusting nut. The latching means are preferably designed such that, upon a load exceeding the normal usage force in the direction of the opening of the hook-shaped device, an emergency release of the loop, ring or eye-shaped device occurs. The latching means are preferably formed as a retaining nose, which preferably has a tapered flank extending upward in the insertion direction, and which, in the tensioned position against the hook-shaped device, provides a limited latching area for the loop, ring or eye-shaped device, restricted by a preferably adjustable force.A detent or eye-shaped device is defined. The holding nose is preferably integrally connected, according to a particularly preferred embodiment, to a spring-loaded locking pin, or forms part of it. The holding nose is preferably slidably mounted, wherein sliding the restricted locking area upwards against a defined and preferably adjustable force is enabled, and wherein preferably the force is ensured by a spring or a resilient element. The holding nose is preferably prestressed with a spiral spring or alternatively with an elastomer spring or leaf spring towards a displacement position closing the locking area, wherein this prestressing is preferably adjustable, so that a safety release occurs only upon a force exceeding 50-250 N.This construction thus offers the advantage of an adjustable emergency release of the entire locking module. The release force can be easily adjusted, for example by removing the locking module from the handle grip and adjusting the adjustment nut with a suitable tool according to the requirements. Due to the use of a spiral spring, this safety release is guaranteed under various temperature conditions. Moreover, the spiral spring is well hidden inside the handle grip, so that contamination, icing or similar problems can be excluded. According to a further preferred embodiment, the locking module comprises a securing element on which the hook-shaped device is arranged, as well as a latching block on which the latching means are arranged, and which is mounted within the handle body in the downward direction along the longitudinal axis of the handle grip by means of an anchoring element.This locking module preferably further comprises a rotatable and/or pivotable actuating element designed for releasing the self-locking feature, wherein the locking block and the actuating element are gripped by the securing element and/or at least partially accommodated within the securing element. A particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention includes a walking stick handle according to one of claims 8–14 with a hand-holding device according to one of claims 1–7, or a walking stick, in particular a ski pole, a Nordic walking pole, a cross-country skiing pole or a hiking stick, with a walking stick handle according to one of claims 8–14 and a hand-holding device according to one of claims 1–7 attached to or attachable to the walking stick handle. A significant advantage of this modular construction is the simplified assembly of the locking module, which is manufactured as a single unit.Due to the modular design of the locking module, the locking module can be manufactured as a separate unit and can be installed in a handle cap or handle body. Moreover, by inserting the locking module into the recess of the handle cap, the retaining pin or the hook-shaped device is optimally embedded in the outer contour of the handle, and is not perceived as disturbing. Further exemplary embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In Figures 1a.) and 1b.), a walking stick handle according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown schematically. The illustrated walking stick handle 1 has a longitudinal axis 56, a handle body 3 with a front walking stick section 3a pointing in a running direction or movement direction B, and a rear walking stick section 3b oriented opposite to the running direction. From below, the walking stick handle 1 or its handle body 3 has a central recess or a cavity 5, not shown in the figure, arranged along or essentially parallel to the walking stick handle's longitudinal axis 56, into which the walking stick, which for example is formed from an aluminum tube, a carbon or glass fiber tube, can be inserted and fixed.The staff grip shown in Figure 1 is illustrated without a staff tube inserted from below. The staff grip 1 further comprises a curved grip head 2 connected to the grip body 3 upwards. The grip head 2 has a grip nose with a tip 65 or is partially formed by a grip nose which transitions substantially without a step in the front staff grip area 3a into the upper portion of the grip body. The grip nose in the front staff grip area 3a is formed as an overhang extending beyond the grip body area in the direction of travel B. The grip head 2 has an opening 4 that is open upwards and towards the user's hand or the hand side H.in which a locking module 6 is arranged. The locking module 6 is shown in detail in Figure 3, and its individual parts are shown in Figure 4. The entire locking module 6 is held in the stock handle 1 within the upwardly open recess 4. The locking module 6 according to the illustrated preferred embodiment basically comprises four main elements: a locking block 20 with an anchoring element 57, an actuating element 9, and a securing element 15. As can be seen in Figure 4, an abutment surface 63 is arranged in the transition area from the handle head 2 to the handle body 3, which has a bore 58 into which the locking module 6 is inserted. Thus, the locking module is held in the handle body 3 by means of the anchoring element 57.The bore can be designed as a through-hole 58, which connects the cavity or recess 4 of the handle head 2 with the cavity described above in the handle body 3, which is suitable for receiving a rod from below. In the illustrated preferred embodiment, the locking block 20, the anchoring element 57 and the actuating element 9 are all held by the securing element 15. The securing element 15 is partially formed in a shell shape. It has a first leg 7 and a second leg 8 forming a shell-shaped area, as well as a web 13 connecting the legs 7, 8 of the securing element 15 with a hook-shaped device 14, which is formed as a holding pin.In this case, the two legs 7, 8 enclose the two side walls 20a, 20b of the locking block 20. In this embodiment, the holding pin 14 is integrally connected to the dish-shaped area of the securing element 15. The bottom side of the securing element 15 forms a base 64, which serves as a support for the securing element 15 or the entire locking module 6 on the supporting surface 63 in the transition area between the handle head 2 and the handle body 3. A mounting pin 31 is attached to the locking module 6 via an axis 56, which extends through the bore 58 into the cavity of the handle body 3. The mounting pin 31 has an eye 32 on its upper side for rotatable attachment to the locking module 6 using the axis 33.For securing the anchoring element 57 to the latch block 20, the anchoring element 57 is introduced from below into a recess 60 of the latch block 20 via its eye 32, which is flanked by two small legs in the lower area of the latch block 20. Each of these legs has a through-hole 61b suitable for receiving a pin 34 along an axis 33, wherein the pin 34 passes through the respective hole 61 of the legs of the latch block 20 and through the eye 32 of the anchoring element 57 in between. At its lower end, the holding pin 31 is threaded. The holding pin 31, respectively the entire locking module 6 mounted on it via the latch block 20, is lowered using a device attached to the upper ceiling of the cavity orThe locking element 29, which is located on the underside of the bearing surface 63, is clamped downward via a spiral spring 28 and a adjusting nut 30, which is screwed from below onto the threaded shank 31. The spiral spring 28 rests from below on the upper locking element 29 on a shoulder provided for this purpose, and from above on the lower locking element 40. In the locking module 6, or in the part of the locking module 6 forming the detent block 20, a detent pin 10 is arranged, which serves for the automatic engagement of the coupling element 79, for example in the form of a loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eye-shaped device. The detent pin 10 is essentially arranged horizontally relative to the longitudinal axis 56.He is slidably mounted in the locking module 6 within a specifically provided recess or bore 54 along an axis 88, with the detent pin 10 being prestressed against the retaining stud 14 by means of a spiral spring 35. The detent pin 10 has a retaining groove 11, which is preferably beveled from above and essentially horizontally formed downward, so that, for example, a loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eye-shaped device 79 introduced from above displaces the detent pin 10 backward against the spring force of the spiral spring 35, and the loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eye-shaped device 79 becomes trapped under the detent pin 10 within the locking area 59. The detent pin 10 has a (through) bore 62 extending horizontally relative to the pin axis 88,by which a cross pin/ guide pin 39 is inserted to guide the locking pin 10 inside the locking block 20 within a slotted hole 41. The locking module 6 has an actuating element 9 on its top side 68, with a release button 37. In the present embodiment, this release button 37 is integrally connected with the actuating element 9 or with its wings 9a, 9b. The locking block 20, or rather its side walls 20a, 20b, are enclosed from above and from the rear, i.e., when viewed from the holding stud 14, by the two wings 9a, 9b of the actuating element 9. The section of the locking block 20 directed backwards (towards the holding stud 14 or towards the hand),The part having the recess 54 for the latch pin 10 is inserted from below into a recess 27 of the actuating element 9. The recess 27 is formed in an inverted U-shape by the wings 9a, 9b of the actuating element 9. The latch block 20 also has an upper step 21, which has a greater width than the length of the through hole 26, measured in a direction horizontal to the longitudinal axis 56. This step 21 rests on a back 89 of the actuating element 9. This construction has the significant advantage that the projections or wings 9a, 9b of the actuating element 9 are ideally positioned for actuating the desired release.However, an unintended triggering can still be completely avoided. If the loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eye-shaped device 79, which is pushed onto the retaining pin 14, is to be released from the locking area 59 under normal conditions, a release button 37 is provided on the upper side 68 of the locking module 6 or on the actuating element 9. In the locking module 6, a pivot axis 38 is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the direction of the locking pin 10. The actuating element 9 forming the release button 37 is mounted pivotably about this pivot axis 38 (counterclockwise in Figures 1a and 3, clockwise in Figures 7 and 8) within the locking module 6. Furthermore, a guide pin 39 is also arranged in a borehole 62 of the locking pin 10, perpendicular to the locking pin 10 and horizontally.This guide pin 39 is also mounted in the actuating element 9. For this purpose, the wings 9a, 9b of the actuating element 9 each have an elongated hole 51a, 51b, into which the guide pin 39 engages. In a rest position of the actuating element 9, the guide pin 39 is located at the lower end of each respective elongated hole 51a, 51b, and is pushed during the rotational movement D of the actuating element 9 in the running direction B in a slanting upward manner. Each elongated hole 51a, 51b is provided with a guiding direction which is angled downward relative to the elongated hole 41 in the locking block 20. Thus, the rotational movement D of the actuating element 9 is converted into a translational movement of the locking pin 10 along the axis 88 essentially in the running direction B: When the release button 37 is pressed,which is integrally formed with the lateral projections or wings 9a, 9b and is pressed downward, for example by the thumb of the hand gripping the handle, thereby causing the operating element 9 as a whole to tilt slightly downward, thus pushing the latch pin 10 via the guide pin 39 against the spring force of the spiral spring 35 inward during rotation about the pivot axis 38 (in the direction of arrow D in Figure 3), thereby releasing the latching area 59 upward and thus also a loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eye-shaped device or a coupling element 79 caught therein. The locking block 20 is thus held by two pins in the operating element 9: on one hand, by the shaft pin 19 arranged along the pivot axis 24 of the locking module 6,which also connects the locking block 20 and the actuating element 9 with the respective leg 7, 8 of the fixing element 15, and secondly by the guide pin 39, which connects the locking pin 10 from inside to outside with the locking block 20 and then with the actuating element 9. The locking block 20 has a through hole 26 arranged horizontally relative to the longitudinal axis 56 of the handle 2 in an upper area, which is suitable for receiving a shaft pin 19 along a rotation axis 24. The shaft pin 19 passes through—viewed from inside to outside—first this hole 26 in the locking block 20, then two holes 43a,43b in the respective wings 9a, 9b of the actuating element 9, as well as the respective bore 42a, 42b of the respective legs 7, 8 described above of the fixing element or the fixing shell 15. As a result, the actuating element 9 rotates about the pivot axis 38 on the locking block 20. During the rotational movement of the actuating element 9, only the actuating element 9 and the locking pin 10, as well as its spiral spring 35, move within the locking module 6, but not the locking block 20 itself or the fixing element 15. When the locking module 6 is inserted into the handle head 2, the through bore 26 in the locking block 20, the bores 43b in the fastening element 9, and the bores 42a, 42b in the fixing element 15 are coaxial with each other.along the axis 24, and similarly the shaft pin 19 connecting the fastening element 9, the detent block 20, and the securing element 15 with the handle head 2.

By inserting the locking module 6 into the recess 4 of the handle head 2, the retaining pin 14 is optimally embedded in the outer contour of the handle 1. Nevertheless, there remains an ideal opening from above for a loop/eyelet 79, as shown in figures 7 and 8. The actuating element 9 is adapted to the overall curvature of the handle head 2 both in its resting state and during the rotational/tilting movement about the pivot axis 38, based on its contour. The actuating element 9 is at least partially shaped along the upper side 67 of the handle head 2 and along the hand side H facing the handle device 70. Moreover, the upper side 68 of the actuating element 9 is almost completely integrated into the outer contour of the handle head 2, both in a rest position and during an actuation movement of the actuating element 9.The outer contour of the handle head 2 is essentially arc-shaped from a tip 65 of the handle head 2 to a side edge 69 between the handle head 2 and the handle body 3. Furthermore, the locking module 6 is mounted on the handle head 2 along an axis 44 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 56 of the walking stick grip 1, by means of another cross-fastening pin 45. This pin passes from the outside through a bore 49a or 49b on the outer side of the handle head, into the recess 4, and then through the bores 47a or 47b into the legs 7 or 8 of the securing element 15. In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the cross pin 45 is made of two parts with two pin sections 45a,shown. Alternatively, this cross pin 45 may also be formed as a single piece and extends from one outer side of the handle head, through the legs 7, 8 of the fixing element 15, through the recess 4, to again the other outer side of the handle head. In this case, the cross pin 45 runs in the dish-shaped area of the fixing element 15 below the lower side of the locking block 20, which is inserted into the fixing element, or in a recess of the locking block 20. When the locking module 6 is inserted into the handle head 2, the bores 49a, 49b in the handle head 2 and the bores 47a, 47b in the fixing element 15 are coaxial with each other along the axis 44.and also the cross pin 45, which connects the fixing element 15 with the handle head 2. The arrangement of this further cross pin 45 has the advantage that torsional forces, which are caused by the tilting of the actuating element 9 about the axis of rotation 38 and possibly—particularly in the case of a fall—also by the twisting of the entire locking module 6 about the axis of rotation 24, are better absorbed. The walking stick handle 1 according to the illustrated embodiment of figures 1, 2, and 4 additionally includes a cover 12, which can be attached as a separate component to the handle head 2. The contour of the cover 12 in its tapered region towards the tip 65 essentially corresponds to the contour of the handle head 2 in the section facing the front side 3a of the walking stick handle.In the rear area of the cover 12, two (not shown) legs are arranged, each formed on the cover 12 by means of a web. The legs extend, in the state where they are mounted on the handle head 2, parallel to the longitudinal axis 56 of the stock handle, into the recess 4 of the handle head 2, or into the handle head 2 between an inner wall which limits the recess inwardly and an outer wall of the handle head 2. Each leg has a recess through which the fastening pin 46 can be inserted along an axis 38 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 56 of the stock handle 1, thereby securing the cover 6 to the handle head 2 and simultaneously serving for the fixation of the locking block 6.When the locking module 6 is inserted into the handle head 2, the bores 50a, 50b in the handle head 2, the bores 48a, 48b in the securing element 15, and the bore 53 in the detent block 20, as well as the bore 52b in the mounting element 9, are coaxial with each other along the axis 38, and also the securing pin 46, which is inserted therein and connects the mounting element 9, the detent block 20, and the securing element 15 to the handle head 2, is aligned along this axis.

In the illustrated embodiment, a (not shown) locking protrusion is arranged in the front, converging area of the handle head 2, which extends from the front edge of the handle head into the hollow area of the cover 6 when mounted, and there engages in a recess or undercut on the inner surface of the cover 6. The inner side of the cover 6 has several (not shown) stiffening ribs in the illustrated embodiment. In the rear section of the cover 6, which faces the rear handle area 3b in the assembled state, i.e., pointing in a direction H opposite to the running direction B, there is an opening 25 for the release button 37 of the actuating element 9. To assemble the fixed module 6, which is manufactured as a single unit, it can be inserted from above into the recess 4 in the handlebar 1.where the anchoring element 57 provided on the locking module 6 is inserted into the through-hole 58 between the recess 4 and the cavity 5 for the stock rod in the handle body 3. The anchoring element has an upper stop element 29 on the mounting pin 31, as well as a spiral spring 28 that is slid over the mounting pin 31, and a lower stop element 40 screwed onto the thread of the mounting pin 31 from below, as well as a adjusting nut 30. The spring-elastic holding force exerted by the spiral spring 28 onto the locking module 6 downwards can be adjusted by screwing the adjusting nut 30 more or less upwards. Finally, laterally through the bores 50b,A securing pin 46 is inserted into the grip head 2 along an axis 38. The securing pin 46 passes through, from the outside to the inside (from both sides of the grip head), the bores 50a and 50b in the grip head 2, as well as the bores 48a and 48b of the legs 7 and 8 of the fixing element 15, then the two bores 52b of the wings 9a, 9b of the actuating element 9, and finally the bore 53 of the locking block 20. Between the bores 50a, 50b in the grip head 2 and the bores 48a, 48b in the fixing element 15, the securing pin 46, according to a particularly preferred embodiment, also passes through a bore/indentation of a leg of a cover 12 on each side of the grip head (the legs are not visible in Figure 4).that extend between an inner wall of the handle head 2 that limits the recess 4 towards the inside and an outer wall of the handle head 2 along the longitudinal axis 56 of the handle grip 1). Thus, the fastening pin 46 simultaneously serves for fixing the locking module 6 within the handle head 2 as well as for fixing the cover 12. The adjustable emergency release of the entire locking module 6 resulting from this construction works as follows: If an excessive force is applied to the retaining nose 11 from below by a loop-, ring- or eye-shaped device 79 (for example, during a fall), then the entire locking module 6 rotates about the pivot axis 24, as shown in Figure 1a.) or figure 3 clockwise (in fig. 7, 8 counterclockwise). This until the locking area 59 is released or until the coupling element in the form of a loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eye-shaped device 79 is released from the retaining pin 14. In figures 5 and 6, a hand grip device 70 in the form of a hand loop is shown, which can be attached to a walking stick handle 1 according to figures 1-4 as described above. The hand grip device 70 should be attached to the handle in such a way that the forces occurring during use of the walking stick are evenly distributed over the hand. For this purpose, a hand loop is required which is not only loosely placed around the hand or the wrist.but which is firmly connected by hand. It is possible, as a handle device 70, to consider a hand loop which is worn over a glove or over bare hands, and which is provided with a loop/ring- or eye-shaped device 79. The hand loop 70 according to the illustrated embodiment has an insertion opening 71 for the hand, a first exit opening 72 for the back of the hand, and a second exit opening 73 for the thumb. The attachment of the hand loop 70 is carried out on a walking stick grip 1 of the walking stick, at least indirectly via a first strip 74 guided between the thumb and the other fingers. The head area of the walking stick grip 1 shown in figures 7 and 8 is shaped...that it has a locking pin 14, which forms part of the locking module 6 of the handle 1 via a slot from the handle head 2, or in the case of the inventive handle according to figures 1-4, forming a locking area 59. A loop-shaped, ring-shaped or eye-shaped device 79 of the hand strap 70 inserted into this locking area 59 can be self-locking fixed on the locking pin 14 within the locking area 59, and can be removed again from the locking area 59 by actuating the release button 37. The actual hand-holding device 70, which in the present embodiment of figures 5-9 is designed as a hand strap 70, can be fixed and attached to the user's hand. For this purpose, the hand strap has three openings,namely an introduction opening 71 in the hand loop for introducing the hand, a first exit opening 72 for the back of the hand, and a second thumb opening 73, which is usually designed as the smallest exit opening. In Fig. 5, the second exit opening 73 of the hand loop for the thumb is facing the observer, whereas the first exit opening 72 for the back of the hand is facing away from the observer. Thus, the hand loop shown is a hand loop for the right hand. The hand loop therefore has a strip-like area composed of the outer surface area 76 of the hand, which is arranged on the back of the hand between the thumb and fingers.which merges integrally into the strip 75 between the thumb and fingers, and then continues into the palm-side area 77, which lies on the palm of the hand. These areas 75, 76 and 77 are preferably provided on their inner side with a textile or elastomeric foam insert, i.e., a textile layer is either sewn or glued to the actual usually non-elastic carrier material, which can, for example, consist of a plastic fabric. This strip now has at least one variable connection area. The variable area is the area between the opening 72 for the back of the hand and the insertion opening 71 for the hand. In this area, a first Velcro fastener strip 82 is provided for adjusting and securing the hand loop on the hand.This hook-and-loop fastener, in the present embodiment, is a webbing strap on which two complementary hook-and-loop areas are applied on the outside, namely a first hook-and-loop area in the end region and a second hook-and-loop area of a complementary type in the region where this first hook-and-loop strip 82 is sewn to the handle loop. The free end of the fastening strip 82 is passed through a guide ring 84. The loose end of this fastening strip 82 in the non-attached condition typically has a holding aid 82a, which can for example be realized by a turned-up edge of the webbing strap. This holding aid also serves to largely prevent the fastening strip 82 from unintentionally slipping through the guide ring 84.The securing strip 82 can be wrapped around the handle bar 84 to secure the hand strap around the hand, with the first Velcro area lying on top of the second Velcro area, thus enabling a permanent adjustment of the distance between the areas 85 and 86 (the two ends of the hand strap), depending on the size of the hand and whether or not the user is wearing gloves. In the inventive hand-holding device, a coupling device 79, which is formed as a loop/ ring- or eye-shaped device, is attached to a first strip 74 for securing the hand-holding device to a walking stick handle. This first strip 74 overlaps a second strip 75,which, as mentioned above, is guided between the thumb and fingers, and in the present embodiment is integrally connected with the outer palm area 76 and the inner palm area 77 of the handle device 70. This first strip 74 is partially elastic. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 5, this first strip 74 is designed as an elastic band in sections, specifically in the areas 74a, 74c between the coupling device 79 and the attachment 66 of the first strip 74 on the outer palm area 76 of the handle device 70. In this context, the elastic band in the area 74c, which is closest to the coupling element 79 on the outer palm side, is reinforced by a belt section.In the palm-side area 77 of the handle loop 70, the first strip is formed as a strap. It is sewn onto the hand-holding device in the palm-side area 77 and then extends in the area where the first strip 74 overlaps the second strip 75 running between the thumb and fingers, spaced apart from the second strip 75 up to the coupling element 79 and further beyond until it overlaps the elastic band. There, it is then sewn onto the elastic band in an overlapping or reinforcement area 74c. In the present embodiment, the strap is even guided twice, so that a section of the strap passes through the loop-, ring- or eye-shaped device 79 and overlaps the elastic band on its top side.While a second belt section is sewn to the first belt section on the inner side of the palm area 77, and runs through the coupling element 79 area under the loop/ ring or eye-shaped device 79 and overlaps the elastic band on its underside. The reinforced area of the first strip 74 is thus three-layered in the present embodiment, with the elastic band lying between two belt sections and the three layers being sewn together. The loop/ ring or eye-shaped device 79 is held between two belt layers and is sewn in the present example, wherein the loop/ ring or eye-shaped device 79 has a certain inherent stiffness and thus extends away from the first strip 74.In the hand-outer-surface area region, the first strip 74 is separated or spaced from the second strip 75 by forming a gap 78. In a transition area, where the second strip 75 integrally transitions into the hand-outer-surface area 76, this hand-outer-surface area 76 is multi-layered, with the top layer being made of a plastic, preferably a plastic mesh or fabric. This top layer, or upper layer of the handle loop, has a slit 81 or an insertion opening in this transition area, through which the first strip 74, formed as an elastic band in this region, can enter and run between the two material layers of the hand-holding device 70 up to its hand-outer-surface end (not visible in the figure).The fastening 66 of the hand outside surface side end of the first strip 74 is preferably done by sewing. Thus, the elastic area 74a of the first strip has a section 74a accessible from the outside and a tunnelled section (not visible in figure 5), which runs between two material layers of the hand outside surface area 76 of the handle device 70. To keep the length of the elastic area 74a of the first strip 74 as long as possible, the fastening 66 of the hand outside surface side end of the first strip 74 should be placed as close as possible to the opening 71 for the hand. This then causes the seam, in the case of fastening by sewing, to be located near the guide loop 84.In the present embodiment, the fastening is arranged at a distance d of approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm from the insertion opening 71 for the hand, measured from the edge of the handle loop 70 at the insertion opening 71 for the hand on the hand side H. The second strip 75, which integrally connects the outer-hand-side area 76 of the handle device 70 with the inner-hand-side area 77, is basically non-elastic, or only to the extent that the material chosen for the handle device itself is elastic. Optionally, the second strip 75 may be reinforced, for example, by sewing on a belt strip, preferably on its upper side facing the first strip.In the present example, the first strip 74 is only elastically formed in the outer palm area 76, i.e., up to the fastening area 87 at most, where the handle strap 70 is attached to a stick grip 1, or where the coupling element 79 is arranged. However, the first strip could also be additionally elastically formed in the inner palm area 77 of the handle device 70. In the present embodiment, the handle device 70 is reinforced by a reinforcing rim 80 at its three openings 71, 72, and 73. This increases wearing comfort and contributes to the shape stability of the handle strap, so that the handle strap also exhibits a certain inherent stiffness even when not tightened and does not collapse in on itself.This facilitates the introduction of the hand. Thus, in the present embodiment, the reinforcing edge is formed by a textile or belt strip made of the material of the hand loop, which is folded at the edge area of the hand loop around the boundary to the openings and sewn and/or bonded with the material of the hand loop in these areas. This ensures that the hand loop fits as comfortably as possible on the hand. However, the reinforcing edge does not necessarily have to consist of a separate strip or band material, but can be formed in a way from the edge area of the material strip forming the hand loop through a seam or stitching. Figure 9 shows an inventive walking stick handle 1 coupled with a hand loop 70 worn on a right user's hand.Wherein the user's hand is arranged in a grasping position or gripping posture. The thumb of the user's hand is shown merely raised for the purpose of making the course of the first strip 74 visible. It can be seen how the first strip 74, which protrudes from the slit 81 at the outer side area 76 of the handle loop 70, extends, with the elastic section 74a extending up to the coupling element 79. In this case, the section 74c of the elastic area 74a located near the coupling element 79 is reinforced, or in this specific case, formed as an elastic band that is sewn over and under a non-elastic webbing. The section 74b of the first strip facing the inner side area 77 of the hand is non-elastic, as formed by the coupling element 79.In the specific case of a double-ply belt, this belt is the same one that reinforces the elastic band near the coupling element 79. This non-elastic section, which extends from the coupling element 79 to the attachment of the first strip 74 on the inner palm area 77 of the handle loop 70, is bulged out into a loop in the configuration shown in Figure 9. This occurs because, due to the stretching of the elastic section 74a, the non-elastic section 74b of the first strip bows away from the handle loop, while the coupling element 79 remains fixed in the locking range 59 of the staff grip 1. As a result, a gap 90 forms between the second strip 75, which is guided between the thumb and the remaining fingers, and the non-elastic section 74b of the first strip 74. BEZUGSZEICHENLISTE
