Abstract: A clamping apparatus for a hiking pole for detachably axially fixing a pipe section that can be inserted into an opening of the clamping apparatus. The clamping apparatus has a plastic collar, which substantially directly encloses the pipe section at least in an axial section and clamps the same in the closed state, wherein at least in the region enclosing the pipe section the plastic collar has at least one axial slot making the circumference of the plastic collar variable in that region and is designed in a substantially peripheral manner in the remaining axial region. There are projections with a stop and a rotational axis for a clamping lever with an arm, the axis being arranged perpendicular to the axis of the transverse pin and perpendicular to the axis of the pipe section. The clamping lever also has a roll-off region, which is eccentric with respect to the rotational axis.

Abstract: A clamping apparatus for a hiking/skiing pole for axially fixing a pipe section, comprising a plastic collar, which encloses the pipe section at least in an axial section and clamps the same in the closed state, wherein the plastic collar comprises at least one axial slot on either side of which a projection is arranged on the plastic collar, each comprising a coaxial passage opening arranged substantially perpendicular to the pipe section axis and through which a transverse pin penetrates, which on the outside of the second projection has a stop and which on the outside of the first projection has a rotational axis for a clamping lever comprising a lever arm, and a roll-off region, by means of which the distance between the stop and a metal counter surface on the outside of the first projection is reduceable by pivoting the clamping lever into the closed position.
