Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor products, and in particular to an improved trekking pole handle with a stable structure and excellent labor-saving performance. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of outdoor mountaineering, trekking poles have become an essential piece of equipment for mountaineering enthusiasts. They effectively support users in walking steadily uphill, downhill, and on rough terrain, reducing knee strain and the risk of falls. As the core control component of trekking poles, the design quality of the handle directly affects the overall user experience.

[0003] Most trekking pole handles are made of one-piece molded plastic or foam, which provides basic grip functionality, but generally suffers from the following problems:

[0004] 1. After prolonged use, the joint may loosen, causing the handle and main rod to wobble.

[0005] 2. The grip shape and material are limited, making it unsuitable for different hand shapes or force levels;

[0006] 3. The lack of shock absorption and cushioning design results in significant hand fatigue after prolonged use;

[0007] 4. Inconvenient to install and disassemble, and unable to quickly replace or maintain the handle structure.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved trekking pole handle that is more robust, easier to assemble, and has ergonomic and shock-absorbing features. Utility Model Content

[0009] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an improved trekking pole handle, which achieves three major goals through a multi-layer component structure and positioning design: stable assembly, effortless operation, and comfortable use.

[0010] This utility model handle includes: an ergonomically designed upper grip, a hollow connecting sleeve, an elastic stop, a fixing cap, a plug-in section, and a snap-fit ​​device. The overall structure is assembled in layers from top to bottom and is equipped with limiting ribs and positioning grooves, ensuring that the components are firmly locked in place after assembly, preventing rotation and slippage. Simultaneously, the grip features an anti-slip structure, which, together with the elastic stop, absorbs shock, significantly reducing the burden on the user's hands while walking.

[0011] In terms of assembly, all parts are assembled by snap-fit, eliminating the need for screws or glue. This not only improves installation efficiency but also allows users to quickly replace the handle as needed.

[0012] The main advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Improve overall structural stability through a multi-segment positioning structure;

[0014] 2. The grip area features an ergonomic curved surface and anti-slip texture, improving the feel and anti-slip performance;

[0015] 3. Elastic stop components improve shock absorption and cushioning, reducing user fatigue;

[0016] 4. Installation and disassembly are simple and quick, facilitating cleaning and maintenance;

[0017] 5. Highly adaptable, it can be used with a variety of different types of trekking poles. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Lower rod part... (7) Detailed Implementation

[0028] Please see the appendix Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the improved trekking pole handle of this utility model includes the following components:

[0029] A gripping part (1); a hollow connecting sleeve (2) disposed below the gripping part (1), having a limiting structure and a guide groove inside; an elastic stop (3) disposed between the gripping part (1) and the hollow connecting sleeve (2) for stabilizing assembly and reducing vibration; a fixing cover (4) for fastening and positioning the gripping part (1) and the hollow connecting sleeve (2); a snap-fit ​​device (5) including a snap ring and a snap groove structure for fixing the hollow connecting sleeve (2) to the insertion section (6); an insertion section (6) disposed at the bottom end of the hollow connecting sleeve (2) for inserting the lower rod section and achieving a stable connection through snap-fit; and a lower rod section (7).

[0030] Continuing from above, the grip part (1) is a slightly curved oval cylinder, adapted to the natural grip posture of the palm, and the outer surface is provided with textured surface and rubber anti-slip strips. The material can be TPR elastomer or EVA foam.

[0031] Hollow connecting sleeve (2): This is the core connecting section of the handle. The inner wall is provided with a limiting groove and a guide groove to ensure accurate engagement with the grip (1) and the plug section (6) without deviation.

[0032] Elastic stop (3): A ring structure made of rubber, embedded between the grip (1) and the hollow connecting sleeve (2), which can provide shock absorption and sealing function, and can be an elastic rubber ring or a spring.

[0033] Fixed cover (4): Covers the upper end of the grip (1) and provides a clamping and positioning effect after being combined with the hollow connecting sleeve (2). The inner side is provided with a limiting post and a rotating groove.

[0034] Snap-fit ​​device (5): a ring-shaped elastic fastener, assembled at the lower end of the hollow connecting sleeve (2), used for plugging and fixing with the plug section (6).

[0035] Insertion section (6): One end is fitted into the hollow connecting sleeve (2), and the other end is inserted into the lower rod section (7). The surface may have an expansion groove or bevel design to improve friction.

[0036] The installation steps are as follows:

[0037] • Place the elastic stop (3) at the junction of the grip (1) and the connecting cylinder;

[0038] • Insert the grip (1) into the connecting tube and lock it in place;

[0039] • Install the fixing cover (4) and fasten the locking slot;

[0040] • Insert the plug section (6) into the hollow connecting sleeve (2) from bottom to top, and fix it with the snap-fit ​​device (5) to complete the assembly;

[0041] • The lower end of the plug section (6) is joined to the lower rod section (7) to ensure the overall structure is stable.

[0042] The structure can be replaced with different shaped grips as needed, or adjusted according to the user's hand shape, making it highly modular and easy to mass-produce.

[0043] The above description is merely illustrative and not restrictive. Any equivalent modifications or alterations made to or relating to this work that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this work shall be included within the scope of the patent application.
