  • Patent number: 8307464
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hand-retaining device (25), such as a hand strap that can be fastened to the hand or a glove, comprising a movable loop (33) between the thumb and the index which is used for fixing the hand-retaining device to a hook-type mechanism (14) of a pole grip. Such a hand-retaining device (25) is most preferably suitable for use with a pole grip (1), particularly for walking canes, trekking poles, downhill ski poles, cross-country ski poles, Nordic walking poles, which is equipped with a grip member (3) and a hook-type mechanism (14) for attaching a hand-retaining device especially in the form of a hand strap or a glove. Locking means (6, 11) are disposed in the area of the hook-type mechanism (14) such that a loop-shaped, annular, or eye-shaped device (33) that is provided on the hand-retaining device and is inserted into the hook-type mechanism (14) from above is fixed in a self-locking manner in the hook-type mechanism (14).

  • Patent number: 7926849
    Abstract: The invention relates to an attachment for a ski pole, especially for downhill or cross-country skiing, comprising a tip attachment (3) that is provided with an upward-facing receiving area (4) for a pole tube (1), a downward-facing pole tip (7, 8), and a rigid basket area (5) which essentially extends on a plane that runs perpendicular or at a 60° to 120° angle to the axis of the pole tube (1). In order to be able to easily adjust the ski pole to different snow conditions, a basket plate (9) is disposed in the basket area (5) in such a way that said basket plate (9) can be fastened in a first position (15) and in at least one second position (16) in which the basket plate (9) is displaced relative to the first position substantially along the plane of the basket area (5), the supporting surface that is effective on the ground being larger in the second position (16) than in the first position (15).

  • Patent number: 7802581
    Abstract: The invention describes a buffer (2) for a stick (1), in particular for a walking stick or a trekking or Nordic-Walking pole. The buffer (2) has means (10) for being attached to a stick tube (Ia), in particular in the form of a recess, at its upper end (4) and a rolling surface (5) at its lower end. In this case, the rolling surface (5) is of substantially flat or only slightly convex design in a transverse direction (22) in relation to the rolling motion but in a longitudinal direction (21) which is perpendicular thereto is convexly curved in such a way that it forms a rolling surface on a base surface (3) during the pushing-off movement with the stick when the user of the stick (1) moves.

  • Publication number: 20100218347
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pole grip (1), particularly for walking sticks, trekking poles, alpine ski poles, 5 cross-country ski poles and Nordic walking poles, comprising a grip body (3) and a hook-like device (14) for attaching a hand-retaining device particularly provided in the form of a hand strap or a glove. Latching means (6, 11) are placed in the area of the 10 hook-like device (14) in such a manner that a strapshaped, ring-shaped or eyelet-shaped device (33), which is inserted from above into the hook-like device (14) and which is provided on a hand-retaining device, is fixed in the hook-like device (14) in a self-latching 15 manner. This simple and self-latching mechanism enormously simplifies use and is preferably combined with a safety release in the event of a heavy load acting in the opening direction of the hook-like device.
