  • Publication number: 20230255330
    Abstract: A pole handle having a central receiving area that receives a loop fastening element with a hand loop, which is secured to the loop fastening element and has an adjustable size. The loop fastening element and the hand loop is secured to the loop fastening element to form a modular unit which is formed separately from a core of the pole handle and which is secured to the core of the pole handle in a reversibly tiltable manner about a rotational axis in the pole handle. The loop fastening element can be tilted from a rest position, in which the loop fastening element is integrated into the surface contour of the handle head and in which the size of the hand loop cannot be adjusted, upwards about the rotational axis into an adjustment position, in which the size of the hand loop can be adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20230128362
    Abstract: A folding pole (1) having four or five tubular portions (7-9), wherein, in assembled state, the tubular portions (7-9) are connected to one another by plug-in connections and oriented along the pole axis (32), and, when the pole is folded up, at least two or three tubular portions (8, 8?, 9) are connected only by a movable connecting element (16). The folding pole is characterized in that a conical closure plug (18) having an axial through-opening (64) is releasably inserted, preferably screwed, into the plug region (49, 17?) of the plug-in connections, and closes off the latter with respect to the following tubular portion, and wherein each of these conical closure plugs (18) has an axial slit (63) through which the pull cable (16) can be introduced into the through-opening (64) in the radial direction.

  • Patent number: 11331560
    Abstract: A pole handle (1), for walking sticks and the like, having a handle body (3) and a hook-like device (14) for fastening a hand strap or of a glove. A displaceable latch-in structure (7) is arranged in the region of the hook-like device (14) such that a eyelet-form device (42), which is provided on the hand strap or glove and is pushed into the hook-like device (14) essentially from above, is fixed in the hook-like device (14) with self-latching action. The pole handle (1) does not have any structure that can displace or free the latch-in structure (7), such that an eyelet-form device (42) pushed into the hook-like device (14) can be removed from a confined region (15) in a force-free manner or counter to a relatively low force, the hand strap or glove being separated from the pole handle (1) in the process.

  • Patent number: 11325019
    Abstract: Pole handle, for alpine ski poles or cross-country ski poles, with a handle body and with a hook for fastening a hand holding device. A displaceable latching structure is arranged in the region of the hook so that an eye-shaped device which is pushed in from above and is provided on the hand holding device is fixed in a self-locking manner. The hook is arranged on the stick handle on the hand side in the upper region. A holding mandrel, which is set off from the handle body to the hand side, forms an insertion slot. The latching structure includes a retaining lug which defines a region, restricted against a force, for the eye-shaped device. An upper region of the holding mandrel or the entire holding mandrel, viewed in the running direction, can be deflected laterally on both sides against a restoring force.

  • Patent number: 11185140
    Abstract: A pole handle having a fastening mechanism for a hand strap with loop strips at variable lengths with a clamping element mounted in a recess. The recess is a through-opening of which the lower opening opens within a rear handle region, and the upper opening towards the upper side of the handle. The clamping element has a lever arranged in the through-opening and a head region projecting upwards out of the recess and has a loop opening and a pressure-exerting surface. The loop strips are guided through the through-opening, past the lever, and through a loop opening of the clamping element, the free ends of the loop strips exiting at the top. The clamping element can be secured in a clamping position in which the loop strips are clamped in a releasable manner, and the clamping action can be released by the clamping element being tilted around a rotary pin.

  • Patent number: 11083258
    Abstract: A clamping device (1) for a walking pole for securing an inner tube (3) which can be slid into an opening of the clamping device that is secured to an outer tube (2). There is a plastic sleeve (4), on which a clamping lever (6) is hinged against the force of a spring element (10). The clamping lever (6) has a first lever arm (12) for releasing the clamping device (1) and a second lever arm (11) arranged on the other side. The second lever arm (11) has a protrusion (9) which is arranged radially to the pole axis (36) and which engages into and through a radial through-opening (19) in the plastic sleeve (4) and engages into a groove (22) of the inner tube (3) in a formfitting manner in order to axially secure the two tubes (2, 3).

  • Patent number: 11071362
    Abstract: An adjustable and retractable rod includes an external pipe fitting, a multi-section rod and a positioning unit. The multi-section rod includes a first and at least one second foldable rod, where the first and second foldable rods have the same outer diameter, and the positioning unit includes a linkage rope, a positioning component and a locking component, which are used to pull the external pipe fitting and the first foldable rod relative to each other. The linkage rope can be dragged, and the locking component and the positioning unit interlocked or separated. When the locking component and the positioning component are interlocked, the external pipe fitting can be connected to the multi-section rod unit in an unfolded state. When the locking component moves away from the positioning component, the first and second foldable rods of the multi-section rod are folded and in parallel relative to the external pipe fitting.

  • Patent number: 11026486
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pole handle (1) for walking poles, trekking poles, alpine ski poles, cross-country ski poles or Nordic walking poles, comprising a length-adjustable hand strap (2), wherein the strap length is fixed using a blocking element arranged in the handle body. A first end of the hand strap is secured in a top section (4a) of the handle body (4), wherein a mid-section (2d) of the strap is introduced into a recess (6) of the handle body (4), is deflected about a deflection element (11) in the recess (6), and passes downwards out of the handle body as the free second end (2b). The blocking element is pressed onto a lower strap section (2e) in order to block the adjustability of the length of the hand strap.
