Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pole grip, for example for hiking, trekking, ski or Nordic walking poles. Furthermore, the invention relates to a pole provided with such a pole grip as well as to a method for assembling such a pole grip. [Background technology]

[0002] From the prior art, for example from JP 2004-102999 A, a pole grip is known which is gripped by the user transversely to the pole's longitudinal axis, the contour of the pole grip being suitable for the sequential placement of the user's fingers. When a force is applied from above, a protrusion serves as a support for the index finger downwards. JP 2004-102999 A discloses a hiking pole in which a gripping ball forms the pole grip. In this case, the gripping ball is eccentrically fitted onto the pole shaft. This pole grip is only suitable for gripping from above.

[0003] Another stock grip with an ergonomically designed grip head is known from US Pat. No. 5,623,999.

[0004] In the case of such a grip structure, the strap may be adjustably attached using various mechanisms (see, for example, Patent Documents 4, 5, and 6).

[0005] The ergonomic grip for a mobility device described in Patent Document 7 includes a central grip area, a lower portion of which extends outward to form a support edge for the ulnar portion of the hand when the user's hand grasps the central column grip area, and which extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the central column grip area to surround the lower portion of the grip area, wherein the grip has a slit cavity dividing the support edge and extending upward into the central column grip area, and the support edge has a beveled edge that slopes downward in a rear region of the support edge.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] German Utility Model No. 29906612 [Patent Document 2] German Patent Application Publication No. 102006008066 [Patent Document 3] European Patent Application Publication No. 2168641 [Patent Document 4] European Patent Application Publication No. 1848298 [Patent Document 5] International Publication No. 2018 / 166854 [Patent Document 6] European Patent Application Publication No. 1819406 [Patent Document 7] US Patent Application Publication No. 2019216186 Summary of the Invention

[0007] Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved pole grip, in particular one that is as light as possible, using a structural material that is minimal yet still provides the necessary stability even when a large load is applied. Furthermore, it is desirable that the proposed pole grip can be made visually appealing and that the technical functionality of its lightweight construction can be recognized from the outside.

[0008] In particular, it is important to propose a pole grip, in particular for ski poles, cross-country ski poles, trekking poles or Nordic walking poles, which has a head area, a grip area and an axial recess open on one side downwards for accommodating a pole pipe.

[0009] In a first object of the present invention, such a stock grip is characterized in that it has a core made of a structural material (for example, preferably a thermoplastic material, in particular polyamide, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethylene, or a mixture thereof, optionally reinforced with (glass) fibers), which core has, at least partially within the interior of the grip, a first left sidewall and a second right sidewall. In other words, the core in the head region has a hollow chamber extending substantially along the direction of travel, preferably extending approximately horizontally or slightly upwards towards the front of the direction of travel, the hollow chamber being bounded on the left by a first sidewall and on the right by a right sidewall.

[0010] The two side walls are joined at the top by a cover surface, which together enclose a hollow chamber, the first left side wall and the second right side wall defining the sides of the hollow chamber in the head region. Each of the two side walls has at least one, and preferably two, openings transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pole grip and transverse to the direction of travel in normal use. The openings each define an opening area, i.e., a cross-sectional area, of each through-opening.

[0011] In this case, the individual opening area of ​​at least one opening, preferably a number or all of the openings, is 10 mm 2 Ultra, especially 15mm 2 Especially 10-50mm 2 Alternatively or additionally, the total area of ​​the openings on at least one or two sides, i.e., side walls, of the grip is within 10 mm 2 More than 15mm, preferably 2 Over or 20mm 2 Especially 10-50mm 2 is within the range.

[0012] The construction with the cavity, the side walls and the openings in the side walls allows for a stable construction of an elongated cavity extending in the direction of travel inside the grip head, without the need to worry about losing stability even under heavy loads. This organically structured web, for example, ensures a high degree of stability, and the proposed construction can be easily realized using methods customary for pole grip cores (injection molding).

[0013] A first preferred embodiment is characterized in that the openings are formed with webs between them or the openings are formed by a grid structure with openings.

[0014] At least one or more of the openings may be formed in the shape of a polygon, optionally with rounded corners, for example in the shape of a triangle, a quadrilateral (kite, rhombus, square, rectangle, trapezoidal shape, e.g. parallelogram, trapezoid).

[0015] Typically, the cover surface is closed or has a lattice-like configuration. If the cover surface has a lattice-like configuration with openings throughout, the attachment or a separate attachment or coating, as described further below, preferably also covers the top surface of the cover surface, thereby preventing the intrusion of dirt and the like.

[0016] The stock grip preferably has at least one attachment, preferably removably attached to the core, which preferably partially surrounds the core in the circumferential direction in the head region and at least partially, preferably completely, covers the cutouts and / or openings in the cover surface on the outside, and which is preferably force- and / or form-fittingly attached to the core and / or form-fittingly attached to a strap attachment element also inserted in the grip head, or at least contributes to guiding the strap attachment element. For example, there may be two attachments that are each slipped on laterally, or one attachment that engages around the front tip as a clip and abuts laterally.

[0017] The attachment is typically and preferably made from a transparent or translucent thermoplastic material, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate (e.g. PMMA), POM or a mixture of such materials, to allow the internal structure to be seen.

[0018] The pole grip, which has a head region and a grip region, preferably has a hard core made of a thermoplastic material and a soft material, for example, foam or cork, arranged thereon in the grip region. In this case, the hard core made of a thermoplastic material may have a circumferentially extending recess in the grip region, into which a corresponding cover made of foam or cork is arranged. This not only results in a further weight reduction, but also in a higher degree of grippability.

[0019] The cover may consist of foam (for example EVA), cork, but may also consist of a composite, wood, bast, textile, nonwoven, metal or a combination of such materials.

[0020] To enable such a structure to be assembled, the hard core may be separated, i.e., have a circumferentially extending slit, in the lower grip area, i.e., in the area where the axial recess for the stock pipe is provided. The two-part hard core of the grip together with the cover can thus be assembled by providing an upper or lower area of ​​the hard core, slipping on the circumferentially extending cover, inserting the other area of ​​the hard core into the other exposed opening in the cover, and joining, e.g., gluing, the parts together.

[0021] This proposed construction type may be used to provide pole grips of different sizes and shapes in a modular manner, i.e., by providing identical head regions and upper hard cores and lower hard core regions of different lengths, it is possible to form the grip region of different lengths, whereby a cover of the desired length is always combined with the same upper hard core, together with a lower hard core region of the desired length.

[0022] Additionally or regardless of this, the covers can be formed in different shapes while the hard core remains the same, i.e., a whole series of different grips can be provided without changing the hard core, simply by using different covers, where the various covers can vary in material and / or shape.

[0023] It is particularly preferred to utilize all the possibilities for variation within the grip series, for example, by having a single, always identical upper hard core section with a gripping head, a lower hard core of different lengths depending on the desired length of the gripping region, and covers of different lengths made of different materials and shaped. Alternatively, the upper sections with the gripping head and hard core region may have different lengths and be combined with lower hard core regions of the same length and shape or of different lengths and shapes. Ultimately, even user-specific, individual combinations can be provided with relatively little effort during production, which opens up advantageous possibilities, especially with today's direct Internet shipping methods from production to customer.

[0024] The stock grip has a stock longitudinal axis, a forward stock gripping area facing the direction of travel, a rearward stock gripping area facing away from the direction of travel, a gripping area, and a curved head area following the gripping area, the gripping area having an upper gripping area adjacent to the head area and a lower gripping area on the opposite side from the head area. The stock grip typically has a grip nose in the head area, which transitions into the upper gripping area in a substantially step-free manner in the forward stock gripping area, in which case the grip nose is formed in a protrusion in the forward stock gripping area that protrudes beyond the gripping area in the direction of travel.

[0025] In this case, the protrusion typically extends over about 50% of the average extension of the gripping region in the direction of travel, and typically the cross section of the head region, defined by the lateral axis of the head region, positioned transversely to the longitudinal axis of the stock and transversely to the direction of travel, and the forward-most tip of the grip nose, is angled at an obtuse angle in the range of 90 to 135 degrees from the longitudinal axis of the stock.

[0026] The grip head preferably protrudes beyond the grip area in its forward region. For better gripping, the grip head has at least one ridge on its forward underside, preferably approximately halfway between the front edge of the grip area and the tip of the grip head. More preferably, the underside, and possibly at least partially and also a slightly laterally extending rearward region, are made of a particularly grippable material. Typically, the core of the grip head consists of a hard thermoplastic material, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, or a mixture thereof, or a glass-fiber reinforced material. The grip head's lower region may be provided with a softer elastomer material as a grippable material, which preferably also provides the aforementioned ridge. The entire grip core, or at least the upper region including the grip head, may be made of a single material or may be made in a two-component process, particularly using an elastomer on the underside of the grip head.

[0027] The top or cover surface and cover portion of the strap attachment member may likewise be formed from a grippy elastomeric material or may at least be formed with a coating of a grippy elastomeric material.

[0028] In this case, the attachment may be formed as a clip with two lateral arms, the arms of which engage, so to speak, from the front around the grip head, in which case the arms extend rearward from the front wall of the attachment to the rear area of ​​the head region of the stock grip, in which case they partially cover the side walls and, preferably completely, cover on the outside the openings arranged in the side walls.

[0029] In this case, preferably, each lateral arm has at least one first means for force-locking and / or form-locking connection to the core and, preferably additionally, at least one second means for force-locking and / or form-locking connection to the connecting member or for at least guiding the connecting member, preferably also preventing loss of the connecting member, in which case preferably the at least second means is a locking means which projects into and locks into a locking recess or a locking protrusion of a locking structure on the core, in which case, more preferably, the protrusion formed by the connecting member engages in a guide contour to guide the connecting member, in particular for the tilting movement of the connecting member, and also holds the connecting member in the grip head.

[0030] Both the first left sidewall and the second right sidewall may have at least three openings in the head region transverse to the pole grip longitudinal axis and transverse to the direction of travel.

[0031] The first and second side walls preferably each have at least two or three openings separated from one another by webs, which extend downward from the cover surface of the stock grip toward the grip area and are preferably arranged substantially parallel to the stock grip longitudinal axis or angled relative to the stock grip longitudinal axis.

[0032] The webs are preferably oriented at an angle relative to the stock grip longitudinal axis, with the webs arranged further forward in the direction of travel preferably being inclined downwards and upwards towards the front, particularly preferably at an angle in the range of 20 to 80° or 30 to 60° relative to the stock grip longitudinal axis, and the webs arranged further rearward in the direction of travel being inclined downwards and upwards towards the rear, particularly preferably at an angle in the range of 10 to 70° or 20 to 60° relative to the stock grip longitudinal axis (S).

[0033] The openings in the two side walls are preferably formed mirror-symmetrically with respect to a plane defined by the longitudinal axis of the stock grip and the direction of travel.

[0034] The side wall is further preferably offset in the upper region of the head region inwardly towards the hollow space relative to the lower region of the head region, so that a shoulder is formed between the upper region of the head region and the lower region of the head region, which partially surrounds the head region in the circumferential direction, and on which the attachment is at least partially placed, in which case, preferably due to the shape of the attachment and its position in this offset region, a substantially continuous, closed surface of the grip region is formed, apart from the gaps between the respective components.

[0035] The web typically extends downwardly from the cover surface of the stock grip toward the grip area to a partially circumferentially extending shoulder.

[0036] Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that the attachment is at least partially, preferably entirely, transparent or see-through (semi-transparent), so that the opening in the core is visible from the outside. The stock grip may have a central notch on the back side in a head region limited upward by the cover surface, and in the rear region of the head region at the central notch, a strap attachment member is housed together with a hand strap attached to the strap attachment member, and in this case, preferably, the strap attachment member has an opening that aligns with one of the openings in the side wall, so that the strap attachment member is substantially invisible from the outside when viewed through the opening in the side wall in the rest position.

[0037] The stock grip according to the present invention further preferably has two arcuate or curved lateral webs on the underside of the grip head between the cover surface and the lower region of the grip head, between which strap attachment members are preferably arranged as described above.

[0038] Furthermore, the stock grip may have an attachment removably attached to the core, the attachment partially surrounding the core in the circumferential direction in the head region and at least partially, preferably completely, covering the openings and / or cutouts in the cover surface, including the openings formed by the web, on the outside, with each region of the attachment engaging from the back with the inside of the web, optionally guided and engaging in the curved cutouts of the strap attachment member, so that the attachment is preferably force- and / or form-fittingly attached to the core and / or form-fittingly attached to the strap attachment member also inserted in the grip head, thereby eliminating the need for additional attachment members.

[0039] The invention further relates to a method for assembling the above-mentioned stock grip, characterized in that the hand strap is fixed by one free end to the strap attachment member, then inserted modularly into the central recess and tiltably mounted in the grip head via a transverse pin. Preferably, an attachment is slipped on before or after the strap attachment member is inserted, and is attached to the grip head preferably from the front or side, preferably so that the attachment itself locks in place. This additionally fixes the strap attachment member to the grip head via the strap attachment member or via this attachment or attachment area, and preferably also guides it for tilting.

[0040] Finally, the invention relates to a pole, in particular a ski pole, a cross-country ski pole or a Nordic walking pole, provided with a pole grip as described above or assembled as described above.

[0041] Alternatively or additionally, the present invention relates to a pole grip having the following characteristics: The stock grip has a central notch within which the strap attachment member is at least partially received with a size-adjustable hand strap attached to the strap attachment member.

[0042] In this case, the stock grip is characterized in that the strap attachment member and the hand strap attached to the strap attachment member form a single modular unit formed separately from the core of the stock grip, and the modular unit is attached to the core of the stock grip so as to be reversibly tiltable around the rotation axis of the stock grip.

[0043] In this case, the strap attachment member can be tilted upward about the pivot axis from a rest position X1, where the strap attachment member is fitted into the surface contour of the grip head and the size of the hand strap cannot be adjusted, to an adjustment position X2, where the size of the hand strap can be adjusted.

[0044] This provides a simple and advantageous design, particularly for the assembly, repair, and replacement of components, which ensures excellent fixation of the strap in the rest position while still allowing for easy length adjustment of the hand strap in the adjustment position. The strap attachment element can be pre-manufactured as a module and can be installed entirely, together with the hand strap, into the corresponding grip head. In this way, the manufacturing process and storage can also be optimized, since such a unit can be used for a wide variety of models with different grip shapes.

[0045] A first preferred embodiment is characterized in that the strap attachment member has a through-opening through which the strap belt of the hand strap is led out from the pole grip, guided around the user's hand, and then passes back through the same through-opening with its free end through the strap attachment member, with the free end of the strap belt preferably being guided downwards behind the through-opening and around a deflection region to surround the strap attachment member, and then led out from the grip head below the strap as the strap free end.

[0046] This strap guide simultaneously allows for good clamping and, on the other hand, also allows for the advantage of modularity, since prefabricated units consisting of strap attachment element and hand strap can be easily attached, especially if one end of the strap is fixed to the strap attachment element.

[0047] In the rest position, the strap belt is preferably fixedly sandwiched between the underside of the strap attachment member and the bottom of the oppositely positioned central notch.

[0048] In this case, preferably means for preventing size adjustment of the hand strap are arranged in the clamping area and / or in the deflection area.

[0049] These means may preferably be formed at least partly in the counter surface in the form of one or more pinching projections or pinching steps and / or corresponding recesses, steps or grooves.

[0050] In this case, it is particularly preferred that at least one rib extending transversely to the direction of travel is arranged on the underside of the strap attachment element, and a corresponding step is arranged at the bottom of the opposing central cutout.

[0051] Another preferred embodiment is advantageous in that the strap attachment member is tiltably attached to the stock grip core by a transverse pin disposed in a through opening in the stock grip core along a pivot axis transverse to the direction of travel and transverse to the stock grip longitudinal axis.

[0052] The strap attachment element may further be attached to the core of the pole grip by a direct or indirect connection, i.e., may be fixed in particular so as not to be lost, the direct or indirect connection preferably simultaneously providing a guide function for the tilting movement between the rest position X1 and the adjustment position X2. Particularly preferably, for this purpose the core and / or the separate element are provided with protrusions which at least partially engage in curved recesses in the lateral faces.

[0053] More preferably, a locking member may be provided for at least partially locking the strap attachment member in the rest position X1 and / or the adjusted position X2. Preferably, such a mechanism is provided in both positions.

[0054] In this case, the strap attachment member may have at least one first locking passage on at least one side surface, in which at least one first locking tooth engages in the rest state X1, and preferably in this case the strap attachment member has two locking passages or locking grooves arranged on two parallel and oppositely positioned side walls of the strap attachment member. Preferably, the core has two locking teeth directed inwardly into a central notch, the locking teeth being arranged on two substantially parallel and oppositely positioned side walls of the core and engaging in the two locking passages.

[0055] Alternatively or additionally, the strap attachment member may have at least one second locking passage on at least one side surface, in which at least one first locking tooth engages in the adjustment position X2, preferably in this case the strap attachment member has two locking passages or grooves arranged on two parallel and opposite side walls of the strap attachment member, in which case the core preferably has two locking teeth directed inwardly into the central notch, the locking teeth being arranged on two substantially parallel and opposite side walls of the core and engaging in the two locking passages.

[0056] Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that the hand strap has a strap portion encircling the user's hand, a deflection portion inserted into the slit-shaped through-opening of the strap attachment member on one side thereof and guided downwards in the central cutout to encircle the deflection area of ​​the strap attachment member, and a first free end portion protruding from the central cutout on the other side thereof; the hand strap further has a second end portion adjacent to the annular strap portion, which second end portion is fixed to the strap attachment member, preferably to the front wall of the strap attachment member arranged in the central cutout of the stock grip, particularly preferably by means of fastening means, which are preferably screws, rivets, pins, hooks, adhesive bonds or combinations thereof.

[0057] The strap attachment member may preferably have at least one recess, preferably arranged transversely to the direction of travel.

[0058] Furthermore, the strap attachment member may have means at its front surface, at the transition to the cover part (which forms the surface of the grip head in rest position X1 in use), for ensuring sealing, in particular in the form of a protrusion and / or a sealing lip.

[0059] The stock grip may further include at least one, preferably clip-like, attachment that is positively and removably connected to the strap attachment member and / or the core. For example, two clip-like attachments may be used, each of which is laterally slipped on. In the case of a clip-like attachment, the attachment has two side walls that merge into a front wall in the direction of travel and are joined downward by a bottom in the front region, each of which has a free end point facing rearward, opposite the direction of travel, and a locking pin disposed at each free end. The locking pins engage with curved guide channels disposed in the opposite side walls of the strap attachment member, so that the strap attachment member is guided in the central notch of the stock grip during tilting of the strap attachment member. Preferably, at least one guide channel is formed along the curvature of the cover portion of the strap attachment member.

[0060] Typically, the attachment is positively and releasably connected to the core (1a) of the stock grip, preferably via at least one locking connection.

[0061] The angle between the rest position X1 and the adjustment position X2 is advantageously in the range of 20 to 90°, preferably in the range of 30 to 80°, particularly preferably in the range of 45 to 70°.

[0062] The stock grip preferably has a first form-locking connection between the core and the strap attachment member, a second form-locking connection between the strap attachment member and the attachment, and a third form-locking connection between the core and the attachment.

[0063] The strap attachment member may have a curved cover portion which, in the fastening position, is at least partially or in particular substantially completely integrated into the outer contour of the head region.

[0064] Further embodiments are set forth in the respective dependent claims.

[0065] Based on a second object, independent of or in addition to the above, the present application relates to the following:

[0066] Specifically, the present invention relates to a pole grip, particularly for ski poles, cross-country ski poles, trekking poles or Nordic walking poles, which has a head region, a grip region and an axial recess for accommodating a pole pipe, and is fitted with a size-adjustable hand strap.

[0067] In this case, the stock grip has a central notch within which the strap attachment member is at least partially received, together with a size-adjustable hand strap attached to the strap attachment member.

[0068] In this case, based on the present invention, the stock grip is characterized in that the strap attachment member and the hand strap attached to the strap attachment member form a single modular unit formed separately from the core of the stock grip, and the modular unit is attached to the core of the stock grip so as to be reversibly tiltable around the rotation axis of the stock grip.

[0069] In this case, the strap attachment element can be tilted upward about the pivot axis to an adjustment position X2 in which the size of the hand strap can be adjusted, from a rest position X1 in which the strap attachment element is fitted into the surface contour of the grip head and the size of the hand strap cannot be adjusted, preferably by fixing the position of the hand strap belt in a force-locking manner rather than a positive-locking manner.

[0070] This provides a simple and advantageous design, particularly for the assembly, repair, and replacement of components, which ensures excellent fixation of the strap in the rest position while still allowing for easy length adjustment of the hand strap in the adjustment position. The strap attachment element can be pre-manufactured as a module and can be installed entirely, together with the hand strap, into the corresponding grip head. In this way, the manufacturing process and storage can also be optimized, since such a unit can be used for a wide variety of models with different grip shapes.

[0071] A first preferred embodiment is characterized in that the strap attachment member has a through-opening through which the strap belt of the hand strap is led out from the pole grip, guided around the user's hand, and then passes through the same through-opening again with its free end through the strap attachment member, with the free end of the strap belt preferably being guided downward behind the through-opening and around a deflection region to surround the strap attachment member, and then led out from the grip head below the strap as the strap free end.

[0072] Preferably, the strap belt is fixed in its rest position by a pure clamping, i.e. force-locking, between the strap attachment element and the core of the pole grip, in which case holes in the strap belt, especially for form-locking fastening, are omitted in order to allow as many different positions as possible.

[0073] This strap guide simultaneously allows for good clamping and, on the other hand, also allows for the advantage of modularity, since prefabricated units consisting of strap attachment element and hand strap can be easily attached, especially if one end of the strap is fixed to the strap attachment element.

[0074] In the rest position, the strap belt is preferably fixedly sandwiched between the underside of the strap attachment member and the bottom of the oppositely positioned central notch.

[0075] In this case, preferably means for preventing size adjustment of the hand strap are arranged in the clamping area and / or in the deflection area.

[0076] These means may preferably be formed at least partly in the counter surface in the form of one or more pinching projections or pinching steps and / or corresponding recesses, steps or grooves.

[0077] In this case, it is particularly preferred that at least one rib extending transversely to the direction of travel is arranged on the underside of the strap attachment element, and a corresponding step is arranged at the bottom of the opposing central cutout.

[0078] Another preferred embodiment is advantageous in that the strap attachment member is tiltably attached to the stock grip core by a transverse pin disposed in a through opening in the stock grip core along a pivot axis transverse to the direction of travel and transverse to the stock grip longitudinal axis.

[0079] The strap attachment element may further be attached to the core of the pole grip by a direct or indirect connection, i.e., may be fixed in particular so as not to be lost, the direct or indirect connection preferably simultaneously providing a guide function for the tilting movement between the rest position X1 and the adjustment position X2. Particularly preferably, for this purpose the core and / or the separate element are provided with protrusions which at least partially engage in curved recesses in the lateral faces.

[0080] More preferably, a locking member may be provided for at least partially locking the strap attachment member in the rest position X1 and / or the adjusted position X2. Preferably, such a mechanism is provided in both positions.

[0081] In this case, the strap attachment member may have at least one first locking passage on at least one side surface, in which at least one first locking tooth engages in the rest state X1, and preferably in this case the strap attachment member has two locking passages or locking grooves arranged on two parallel and opposite side walls of the strap attachment member. Preferably the core has two locking teeth directed inwardly into a central notch, the locking teeth being arranged on two substantially parallel and opposite side walls of the core and engaging in the two locking passages.

[0082] Alternatively or additionally, the strap attachment member may have at least one second locking passage on at least one side surface, in which at least one first locking tooth engages in the adjustment position X2; preferably, in this case, the strap attachment member has two locking passages or grooves arranged on two parallel and opposite side walls of the strap attachment member, and in this case, the core preferably has two locking teeth directed inwardly into a central notch, the locking teeth being arranged on two substantially parallel and opposite side walls of the core and engaging in the two locking passages.

[0083] Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that the hand strap has a strap portion encircling the user's hand, a deflection portion inserted into the slit-shaped through-opening of the strap attachment member on one side thereof and guided downwards in the central cutout to encircle the deflection area of ​​the strap attachment member, and a first free end portion protruding from the central cutout on the other side thereof; the hand strap further has a second end portion adjacent to the annular strap portion, which second end portion is fixed to the strap attachment member, preferably to the front wall of the strap attachment member arranged in the central cutout of the stock grip, particularly preferably by means of fastening means, which are preferably screws, rivets, pins, hooks, adhesive bonds or combinations thereof.

[0084] The strap attachment member may preferably have at least one recess, preferably arranged transversely to the direction of travel.

[0085] Furthermore, the strap attachment member may have means at its front surface, at the transition to the cover part (which forms the surface of the grip head in rest position X1 in use), for ensuring sealing, in particular in the form of a protrusion and / or a sealing lip.

[0086] The stock grip may further include at least one, preferably clip-like, attachment that is positively and removably connected to the strap attachment member and / or the core. For example, two clip-like attachments may be used, each of which is laterally slipped on. In the case of a clip-like attachment, the attachment has two side walls that merge into a front wall in the direction of travel and are joined downward by a bottom in the front region, each of which has a free end point facing rearward, opposite the direction of travel, and a locking pin disposed at each free end. The locking pins engage with curved guide channels disposed in the opposite side walls of the strap attachment member, so that the strap attachment member is guided in the central notch of the stock grip during tilting of the strap attachment member. Preferably, at least one guide channel is formed along the curvature of the cover portion of the strap attachment member.

[0087] Typically, the attachment is positively and releasably connected to the core (1a) of the stock grip, preferably via at least one locking connection.

[0089] The stock grip preferably has a first form-locking connection between the core and the strap attachment member, a second form-locking connection between the strap attachment member and the attachment, and a third form-locking connection between the core and the attachment.

[0090] The strap attachment member may have a curved cover portion, the cover portion being fixed. At least partly or in particular almost completely integrated into the outer contour of the head region at that location.

[0091] The grip head preferably protrudes beyond the grip area in its forward region. For better gripping, the grip head has at least one ridge on its forward underside, preferably approximately halfway between the front edge of the grip area and the tip of the grip head. More preferably, the underside, and possibly at least partially and also a slightly laterally extending rearward region, are made of a particularly grippable material. Typically, the core of the grip head consists of a hard thermoplastic material, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, or a mixture thereof, or a glass-fiber reinforced material. The lower region of the grip head may be provided with a softer elastomer material as a grippable material, which preferably also provides the aforementioned ridge. The entire grip core, or at least the upper region including the grip head, may be made of a single material or may be made in a two-component process, particularly using an elastomer on the underside of the grip head.

[0092] The top or cover surface and cover portion of the strap attachment member may likewise be formed from a grippy elastomeric material or may at least be formed with a coating of a grippy elastomeric material.

[0093] The present invention further relates to a method for assembling the above-mentioned stock grip, characterized in that the hand strap is fixed to the strap attachment member by one free end, then inserted as a module into the central notch, and tiltably attached in the grip head via a transverse pin. Preferably, before or after inserting the strap attachment member, at least one attachment is attached to the grip head, preferably by slipping it on from the side or front, preferably so that the attachment itself locks. This additionally fixes the strap attachment member to the grip head via the attachment or via this attachment or attachment area. Preferably, the strap attachment member is additionally guided for tilting by the engagement of the attachment.

[0094] Finally, the invention relates to a pole, in particular a ski pole, a cross-country ski pole or a Nordic walking pole, provided with a pole grip as described above or assembled as described above.

[0095] Alternatively or additionally, the present invention relates to a pole grip having the following characteristics: The present invention relates to a pole grip, in particular for ski poles, cross-country ski poles, trekking poles or Nordic walking poles, which has a head area, a grip area and an axial recess open on one side downwards for receiving a pole pipe.

[0096] In this case, such a stock grip is particularly characterized in that it has a core made of an inherent structural material (for example, preferably a thermoplastic material, in particular polyamide, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethylene or mixtures thereof, optionally reinforced with (glass) fibers), which core has, at least partially within the interior of the grip, a first left side wall and a second right side wall.

[0097] The two side walls are joined at the top by a cover surface, which together enclose a hollow chamber, the first left side wall and the second right side wall defining the sides of the hollow chamber in the head region, and each of the two side walls has at least one, and preferably two, openings in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pole grip and transverse to the direction of travel in normal use.

[0098] In this case, the individual opening area of ​​at least one opening, preferably a plurality or all of the openings, is 10 mm 2 Ultra, especially 15mm 2 Ultra, especially 10-50mm 2 Alternatively or additionally, the total area of ​​the openings on at least one or two sides, i.e., side walls, of the grip is within 10 mm 2 More than 15mm, preferably 2 Over or 20mm 2 Especially 10-50mm 2 is within the range.

[0099] The construction with the side walls and the openings in these side walls allows the elongated cavity to be realized in a stable structure inside the grip head, without the need to worry about losing stability even when a large load is applied. This organically structured web, for example, ensures a high degree of stability, and the proposed construction can be easily realized by methods that are common for stock grip cores (injection molding).

[0100] A first preferred embodiment is characterized in that the openings are formed by a grid structure with webs between them or with openings.

[0101] At least one or more of the openings may be formed in the shape of a polygon, optionally with rounded corners, for example in the shape of a triangle, a quadrilateral (kite, rhombus, square, rectangle, trapezoidal shape, e.g. parallelogram, trapezoid).

[0102] Typically, the cover surface is closed or has a lattice-like configuration. If the cover surface has a lattice-like configuration with openings throughout, the attachment or a separate attachment or coating, as described further below, preferably also covers the top surface of the cover surface, thereby preventing the intrusion of dirt and the like.

[0103] The stock grip preferably has at least one attachment, preferably removably attached to the core, which preferably partially surrounds the core in the circumferential direction in the head region and at least partially, preferably completely, covers the cutouts and / or openings in the cover surface on the outside, and which is preferably force- and / or form-fittingly attached to the core and / or form-fittingly attached to a strap attachment element also inserted in the grip head. For example, there may be two attachments, each of which is laterally slipped on.

[0104] The attachment is typically and preferably made from a transparent or translucent thermoplastic material, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate (e.g. PMMA), POM or a mixture of such materials, to allow the internal structure to be seen.

[0105] The pole grip, which has a head region and a grip region, preferably has a hard core made of a thermoplastic material and a soft material, for example, foam or cork, arranged thereon in the grip region. In this case, the hard core made of a thermoplastic material may have a circumferentially extending recess in the grip region, into which a corresponding cover made of foam or cork is arranged. This not only results in a further weight reduction, but also in a higher degree of grippability.

[0106] The cover may consist of foam (for example EVA), cork, but may also consist of a composite, wood, bast, textile, nonwoven, metal or a combination of such materials.

[0107] To allow for the attachment of such structures, the hard core may be separated, i.e., have a circumferentially extending slit, in the lower grip area, i.e., in the area where the axial recess for the stock pipe is provided. The two-part hard core of the grip together with the cover can thus be assembled by providing an upper or lower area of ​​the hard core, slipping on the circumferentially extending cover, inserting the other area of ​​the hard core into the other exposed opening in the cover, and joining, e.g., gluing, the parts together.

[0108] This proposed construction type may be used to provide pole grips of different sizes and shapes in a modular manner, i.e., by providing identical head regions and upper hard cores and lower hard core regions of different lengths, it is possible to form the grip region of different lengths, whereby a cover of the desired length is always combined with the same upper hard core, together with a lower hard core region of the desired length.

[0109] Additionally or regardless, the covers can be formed in different shapes without changing the hard core, i.e., a whole series of different grips can be provided without changing the hard core simply by using different covers, where the various covers can vary in material and / or shape.

[0110] It is particularly preferred to utilize all the possibilities for variation within the grip series, for example, by having a single, always identical upper hard core section with a gripping head, a lower hard core of different lengths depending on the desired length of the gripping region, and covers of different lengths made of different materials and shaped. Alternatively, the upper sections with the gripping head and hard core region may have different lengths and be combined with lower hard core regions of the same length and shape or of different lengths and shapes. Ultimately, even user-specific, individual combinations can be provided with relatively little effort during production, which opens up advantageous possibilities, especially with today's direct Internet shipping methods from production to customer.

[0111] The stock grip has a stock longitudinal axis, a forward stock gripping area facing the direction of travel, a rearward stock gripping area facing away from the direction of travel, a gripping area, and a curved head area following the gripping area, the gripping area having an upper gripping area adjacent to the head area and a lower gripping area on the opposite side from the head area. The stock grip typically has a grip nose in the head area, which transitions into the upper gripping area in a substantially step-free manner in the forward stock gripping area, in which case the grip nose is formed in a protrusion in the forward stock gripping area that protrudes beyond the gripping area in the direction of travel.

[0112] In this case, the protrusion typically extends over about 50% of the average extension of the gripping region in the direction of travel, and typically the cross section of the head region, defined by the lateral axis of the head region, positioned transversely to the longitudinal axis of the stock and transversely to the direction of travel, and the forward-most tip of the grip nose, is angled at an obtuse angle in the range of 90 to 135 degrees from the longitudinal axis of the stock.

[0113] In this case, the attachment may be formed as a clip with two lateral arms, the arms of which engage, so to speak, from the front around the grip head, in which case the arms extend rearward from the front wall of the attachment to the rear area of ​​the head region of the stock grip, in which case they partially cover the side walls and, preferably completely, cover on the outside the openings arranged in the side walls.

[0114] In this case, preferably, each lateral arm has at least one first means for force-locking and / or form-locking connection to the core and, preferably additionally, at least one second means for force-locking and / or form-locking connection to the connecting member, and in this case preferably, the at least second means is a locking means that projects into and locks into a locking recess or locking protrusion of a locking structure in the core.

[0115] Both the first left sidewall and the second right sidewall may have at least three openings in the head region transverse to the pole grip longitudinal axis and transverse to the direction of travel.

[0116] The first and second side walls preferably each have at least two or three openings separated from one another by webs, which extend downward from the cover surface of the stock grip toward the grip area and are preferably arranged substantially parallel to the stock grip longitudinal axis or angled relative to the stock grip longitudinal axis.

[0117] The webs are preferably oriented at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the stock grip, with the webs arranged further forward in the direction of travel preferably being inclined downwards and upwards towards the front, particularly preferably at an angle in the range of 20 to 80° or 30 to 60° relative to the longitudinal axis of the stock grip, and the webs arranged further rearward in the direction of travel preferably being inclined downwards and upwards towards the rear, particularly preferably at an angle in the range of 10 to 70° or 20 to 60° relative to the longitudinal axis of the stock grip.

[0118] The openings in the two side walls are preferably formed mirror-symmetrically with respect to a plane defined by the longitudinal axis of the stock grip and the direction of travel.

[0119] The side wall is further preferably offset in the upper region of the head region inwardly towards the hollow space relative to the lower region of the head region, so that a shoulder is formed between the upper region of the head region and the lower region of the head region, which partially surrounds the head region in the circumferential direction, and on which the attachment is at least partially placed, in which case, preferably due to the shape of the attachment and its position in this offset region, a substantially continuous, closed surface of the grip region is formed, apart from the gaps between the respective components.

[0120] The web typically extends downwardly from the cover surface of the stock grip toward the grip area to a partially circumferentially extending shoulder.

[0121] Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that the attachment is at least partially, preferably entirely, transparent or see-through (semi-transparent), so that the opening in the core is visible from the outside. The stock grip may have a central notch on the back side in a head region limited upward by the cover surface, and in the rear region of the head region at the central notch, a strap attachment member is housed together with a hand strap attached to the strap attachment member, and in this case, preferably, the strap attachment member has an opening that aligns with one of the openings in the side wall, so that the strap attachment member is substantially invisible from the outside when viewed through the opening in the side wall in the rest position.

[0122] The stock grip according to the present invention further preferably has two arcuate or curved lateral webs on the underside of the grip head between the cover surface and the lower region of the grip head, between which strap attachment members are preferably arranged as described above.

[0123] Furthermore, the stock grip may have an attachment removably attached to the core, the attachment partially surrounding the core in the circumferential direction in the head region and at least partially, preferably completely, covering on the outside the openings and / or cutouts in the cover surface, including the openings formed by the web, with each region of the attachment engaging from the back with the inside of the web, possibly guided by and engaging with the curved cutouts of the strap attachment member, so that the attachment is preferably force- and / or form-fittingly attached to the core and / or form-fittingly attached to the strap attachment member also inserted in the grip head, thereby eliminating the need for additional attachment members.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0141] In the following, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, which are used for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting. 1 to 14 show a first preferred embodiment of a pole grip 1 according to the present invention, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts according to the reference numeral list.

[0142] Stock grip 1 (see FIG. 1 ) has a head region 2 or grip head and a grip region 3. Stock grip 1 essentially consists of the following basic elements: a stock grip core 1a (typically made from a plastic material in a single- or multi-component manner by injection molding), an attachment member 7 that is pressed or fitted onto core 1a in head region 2 or each grip nose 2a from the front and partially clamps the grip region above the head region 2, and a connecting module consisting of a strap attachment member 5 to which a size-adjustable hand strap 4 is attached in this embodiment. As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 12 , stock grip core 1a is a component formed in one piece or in a multi-component manner from multiple parts, and this component typically has a surface coating made of a grip-friendly material in grip region 3 or a corresponding cover, typically made of grip foam or a natural material such as cork. The core 1a of the stock grip may be divided transversely to the stock axis for the attachment of alternative gripping materials, for example in the form of sleeves which may constitute partial areas of the gripping surface. At the lower end of the gripping area 3, the stock grip 1 or the core 1a of the stock grip 1 has a shoulder 17 which faces backwards, opposite to the direction of travel L, or which is directed towards the stock grip user in use, so that the palm of the user's hand can rest against the shoulder 17 when gripping the lower grip area of ​​the stock grip 1 in the circumferential direction U.

[0143] The core 1a of the pole grip 1 has a central axial pole grip recess 16, typically in the form of a restricted blind hole, extending from bottom to top towards the grip head, and the pole grip recess 16 is disposed substantially along the pole grip longitudinal axis S. The axial recess 16 is used to receive and attach a pole pipe or pipe section (not shown) of a pole, in particular a ski pole, cross-country pole, trekking pole or Nordic walking pole.

[0144] The head region 2 of the stock grip 1 has a front region 2a or grip nose oriented in the direction of travel L, which is substantially perpendicular to the stock grip longitudinal axis S and points away from the user of the stock grip 1. The head region 2 of the stock grip 1 is covered by the inner surface of the user's hand when the user supports the stock grip from above. In the front region 2a of the head region 2, the stock grip 1 has a raised portion 40 at the transition area to the grip region 3 below the grip head 2. This raised portion 40 facilitates gripping, particularly when the grip head is grasped from the rear above and the fingers surround this lower front region. In this case, for example, the index finger can be placed in the recess in front of the raised portion 40 and the middle finger in the recess behind the raised portion 40, or the fingers can be positioned one step forward, with the middle finger in the recess in front of the raised portion 40 and the ring finger in the recess behind the raised portion 40.

[0145] The head region 2 of the stock grip 1 has a central notch 11 on the upper side when viewed from the rear, for attaching a strap attachment member 5 for a hand strap 4 (see, for example, FIG. 2 or FIG. 7). This central notch 11 extends from the rear region 2b to the front region 2a of the head region 2. In other words, the core 1a is formed partially hollow in the head region 2.

[0146] The core 1a has a first left sidewall 14a and a second right sidewall 14b, as viewed in the direction of travel L. These are open to the rear and merge into a front wall 14c in the front region 2a of the stock grip 1. In the upper front grip region 2a, the sidewalls 14a, 14b are partially offset inward, thereby forming a shoulder 21 that extends partially in the circumferential direction U. The core 1a has a plurality of openings 12a-12f, 15 in the sidewall 14 of the head region 2. In the illustrated embodiment, these are realized by a first opening 12a, a second opening 12b, and a third opening 12c in the first left sidewall 14a of the core 1a and a fourth opening 12d, a fifth opening 12e, and a sixth opening 12f in the second right sidewall 14b. In this case, two openings 12a and 12d (front), or 12b and 12e (middle), or 12c and 12f (rear) are positioned opposite each other in the head region 2 of the core 1a. The openings form an opening area 12, i.e., the cross-sectional area of ​​each through opening.

[0147] The front wall 14c has a seventh opening 15 in the embodiment shown in FIG.

[0148] The openings 12a-12f in the side walls 14a, 14b are separated from one another by webs 13a-13d and front-most webs 13e and 13f of each side wall 14a, 14b, respectively. The webs 13a-13f extend substantially downward from the upper or cover surface 6 of the core 1a in the direction of the gripping region 3 up to a partially circumferentially extending shoulder 21. In this embodiment, the closed cover surface 6 is supported by a plurality of webs 13, and the side walls and the cover surface define a cavity 42 extending in the travel direction, which merges rearward into the recess 11 and is closed forward by the front wall 14c.

[0149] The webs may be oriented substantially parallel to the stock longitudinal axis, but as shown in this embodiment, they may be oriented in a direction that is consistent with typical loads, preferably in a bionic design. In other words, the rear webs 13b, 13d are inclined from the bottom to the top rearward, typically at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees relative to the stock longitudinal axis, while the front webs 13a, 13c are inclined from the bottom to the top frontward, typically at an angle of 20 to 45 degrees relative to the stock longitudinal axis. This creates a lattice or mesh structure of the core 1a in the upper head region 2 to some extent, supporting the cover surface 6.

[0150] Furthermore, the cover surface 6 is supported on both sides toward the rear by arc-shaped webs 41, which connect the cover surface 6 to the lower part of the core and surround and guide the strap attachment member 5 in the lateral direction.

[0151] The upper surface of the head region 2, and therefore the grip surface, of the stock grip 1, when viewed from above (see FIG. 11), is formed partly by the upper surface or cover surface 6 of the core 1a, partly by the attachment member 7, and partly by the strap attachment member 5. In this case, the curved upper surface or cover portion 25 of the strap attachment member 5 is almost completely integrated into the outer contour of the head region 2 in the rest or non-tilted fixed position. In this case, the upper surface of the head region, when viewed from the side with the strap attachment member removed (see FIG. 14), has a first step 19 at the upper surface where it transitions to the strap attachment member and a second step 20 at the transition to the lower grip region, whereby the strap attachment member fits into the upper surface of the grip head in a contoured manner.

[0152] As can be seen in the exploded view of Fig. 2, the attachment member 7, in the head region 2 of the stock grip 1, surrounds or covers the front region or front wall 14c of the core 1a with its front wall 7c, which is formed somewhat as a clip, and surrounds or covers the side or side walls 14a, 14b of the core 1a with its two arms 7a, 7b extending laterally from the front wall 7c. In other words, the attachment member 7 surrounds the front region of the grip head and two lateral regions of the side wall 14 on three sides with its two side walls 7a, 7b and its front wall 7c. Furthermore, the attachment member 7 surrounds the area inside the head region 2 of the core 1a used to accommodate the locking structure 35, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10a.

[0153] In the front region of the attachment 7, the attachment 7 has a bottom 7d connecting the two side walls 7a, 7b (see FIG. 13). The bottom 7d has a recess 7g that defines the interior space of the front region. The bottom 7d extends substantially parallel to the cross section BB shown in FIG. 8, which extends parallel to the longitudinal axis K1 of the head region. When the attachment 7 is fitted from the front onto the core 1a of the head region 2 of the stock grip 1, the bottom 7d slides at least partially from the front into the slit 18 of the locking structure 35, locking the attachment 7 to the core 1a of the stock grip 1. This is made possible by a form-fitting connection between the locking tongue 34, which is substantially semicircular and has an undercut in the locking structure 35 inside the head region 2, and the corresponding recess 7g in the bottom 7d of the attachment (see FIG. 10a). The recess 7g has a slit-like extension 7k oriented in the direction of travel L to allow the attachment 7 to spread open for locking. The recess 7g is limited to the interior space 7m towards the rear by two protrusions 7h, 7i oriented inwards substantially transversely to the longitudinal axes of the lateral arms 7a, 7b of the attachment. When the clip-like attachment is fitted, the two protrusions 7h, 7i engage in the slits 18 in the head region 2 of the core 1a below the two opposing front-most openings 12a, 12d and extend to some extent into the undercuts behind the locking tongues 34 of the core 1a, thereby locking into the respective locking recess or undercuts.

[0154] Instead of the bottom 7d with the corresponding recess 7g, the front wall 7c can also be provided with locking tongues that are directed somewhat rearward when viewed in the direction of travel, for example two tongues with two projections pointing laterally outward at their free ends (see FIG. 10b), which can engage in the opening 15 of the grip head and, behind them, can engage with the back surfaces of the webs 13e and 13f in the rear cavity 42 of the front wall.

[0155] All openings are engaged or covered from above by the attachment's lateral arms 7a, 7b, respectively. In the fitted state, the attachment's front wall 7c and side walls 7a, 7b rest on shoulders 21 of the core 1a, which surround the head region 2 on both sides of the front region 2a and seamlessly transition into the rear region 2b via the curvature of the head region 2. The arms 7a, 7b have a concave curvature directed toward the interior space 7m of the attachment 7. The cover element 7 thus serves, among other things, to seal the open, lightweight construction with a web to some extent, thus preventing the possibility of dirt or the like entering the grip head, while also providing the grip with as smooth a surface as possible without any transitions. To allow the internal structure to be seen, the cover element is typically and preferably made of a transparent or translucent thermoplastic material, such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate (e.g., PMMA), POM, or a mixture of such materials.

[0156] At the free end of each of the first left arm 7a and the second right arm 7b of the attachment, each arm 7a, 7b has a locking hook, web, or pin 7e, 7f. This locking pin 7e, 7f extends from each arm 7a, 7b first inward, i.e., toward the interior space 7m of the attachment 7, and then upward toward the rear side. These locking pins 7e, 7f are used to attach the attachment 7 to the strap attachment member 5 and, thus, indirectly, to the core 1a, and further have a guiding function for the strap attachment member 5, as will be explained subsequently below. In this case, the locking pins 7e, 7f engage from the outside through the openings 12c or 12f and then engage from the rear side with the arc-shaped web 41, respectively. In other words, the attachment 7 is fitted over the web 41 from the front so as to surround it, and the locking pin engages with the circumferential surface of the web 41 from the inside, and further forward, the attachment 7 is locked to the locking tongue 34 by the recess 7g.

[0157] The head region 2 of the stock grip 1 further includes a rear region 2b facing the stock grip user and to which a hand strap 4 is attached. In the illustrated first embodiment, the hand strap 4 is disposed in a central notch 11 in the head region 2 of the stock grip 1 and is coupled or connected to the stock grip 1 via a strap attachment member 5, which in the illustrated embodiment is tiltable by the momentum shown in FIG. 5a. In the illustrated embodiment, the strap attachment member 5 is formed somewhat block-like. The central notch 11 of the stock grip 1 is downwardly limited by a bottom portion 27 within the core 1a and separated from the upper end of the stock grip recess 16. The hand strap 4 includes a strap portion 4a formed to at least partially encircle the hand or wrist of the stock grip user. The strap portion 4a is disposed between a first free strap end 4c extending from the stock grip interior and capable of being pulled to reduce the strap distance from the hand, and a second strap end 4d fixed within or to the strap attachment member 5.

[0158] In the first embodiment shown, a deflection section 4b is arranged between the strap portion 4a and the first free strap end 4c, which is guided so as to surround the deflection region 22 of the strap attachment element 5 (see in particular Figures 2 and 6). The second strap end 4d is fixed to the front side 29 of the strap attachment element 5, which faces in the direction of travel L, by means of a fastening means 10, which in this embodiment is formed as a screw. By forming a protrusion 24 on the upper front edge of the strap attachment element 5, which extends in the direction of travel L, the second fixed strap end 4d is covered above and continues to the upper surface of the head region 2 of the stock grip 1, and is protected from environmental influences; the thickness of the strap material attached in this region is offset so that the front surface of the strap attachment element is substantially flush. To guide the strap belt through to form the strap portion 4a, the strap attachment member 5 has a through-opening 26 in the form of a slit-like passageway that is arranged substantially parallel to the bottom surface 35 of the strap attachment member 5, with the through-opening 26 having a longitudinal axis K2 that is aligned substantially along the longitudinal axis K1 of the head region of the pole grip in the non-tilted or resting state of the strap attachment member 5. Through this through-opening 26 are guided the two strap regions that form the strap portion 4a for the hand, namely the region leading to the fixed second strap end 4d and the region leading to the free strap end 4c.

[0159] The strap attachment member 5 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 14 is arranged in the grip head central notch 11 so as to be tiltable or rotatable about a rotation or tilt axis D around a pin 9 disposed in the through-hole 8, i.e., between a rest position X1 as shown in FIG. 5a and a tilted position X2 as shown in FIG. 5b. In this case, the rotation range is approximately 30 to 40°. In the rest position, the strap distance is adjusted to be fixed. In the tilted position of the strap attachment member 5, the strap distance can be changed and adjusted. In this case, the strap distance in the final position of the strap attachment member can be shortened by pulling the first free end 4c of the hand strap and extended by pulling the portion of the strap portion 4a facing the first free end.

[0160] In the rest position of the strap attachment member 5, the deflection portion 4b of the hand strap 4 is pinched between the bottom 27 of the grip head notch 11 and the underside or bottom 5c of the strap attachment member 5. The pinching is achieved in this case in the form of a pinching portion 23 of the strap attachment member 5, which is formed as a downward protrusion 23 directed toward the bottom 27 of the grip head notch 11, essentially like a labyrinth seal. In this case, a degree of form-fitting is also added to the frictional bond via one or, if necessary, via pinching edges. Due to the labyrinth edges, the pinching force required to secure the strap is significantly smaller than in the case of straight force lines, which allows for an improved pinching effect at the same pinching force, or allows for the same pinching effect at a lower pinching force. For this purpose, the bottom 27 of the grip head notch 11 has a pinching portion 27a formed as a step 27b by the edge 11b. When the strap attachment member is in a resting state, the strap belt is sandwiched between the projection 23 and the step 27b of the bottom 27 of the grip head notch 11 by a frictional coupling between the deflection portion 4b and the first strap portion 4a exposed and protruding outward from the through-opening 26 formed as a passage in the strap attachment member 5. Because the free end of the strap belt is deflected downward and rearward to surround the strap attachment member after passing through the through-opening 26, the frictional coupling, which may be strengthened by corresponding lateral ribs or the like in the deflection region 22 (see FIG. 14), is correspondingly strengthened by the sandwiching between the sandwiching projection 23 and the step 27b. This latter sandwiching has the advantage that it is strengthened by a corresponding torque (clockwise in the view shown in FIG. 4) that is applied thereby when a typical downward load is applied to the hand strap during use.

[0161] As shown in FIG. 2, the strap attachment member 5 is a separately formed component that can be attached to the "core body" or core 1a of the stock grip 1. Attachment is accomplished by inserting a pin 9 into a first through opening 8a in the left sidewall of the stock grip 1, then guiding it through a through opening 38 extending through the strap attachment member 5 from the first left sidewall 5a to the second right sidewall 5b, and then through a second through opening 8b in the right sidewall of the head region 2 of the stock grip 1. The longitudinal axis of the through opening 38, or the longitudinal axis of the pin 9, is disposed substantially transverse to the stock grip longitudinal axis S and transverse to the direction of travel L when the strap attachment member 5 is inserted.

[0162] Figure 14 shows the strap attachment member 5 or flap member in detail. The strap attachment member 5 has a curved cover portion 25 with a front edge 39 that protrudes slightly in the direction of travel. In the rest position, the cover portion 25 or upper surface of the strap attachment member is integrated into the upper surface 6 of the stock grip 1 and simultaneously forms the rear region 2b of the head region 2 of the stock grip 1. The strap attachment member 5 is additionally restrained by the engagement of locking tabs 7e and 7f (see Figure 7a) in the corresponding guide channels 28a and 28b.

[0163] To reduce weight, the strap attachment members may have cutouts or windows 32 where construction from load-bearing solid material is not required. Generally, and preferably, the strap attachment members are made from a thermoplastic material, such as polyamide, polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, each optionally reinforced with (glass) fibre, or a mixture of such materials.

[0164] The strap attachment member 5 further has a lower surface 37 that faces the bottom 27 of the central notch 11 of the stock grip 1 when in a resting state inserted into the stock grip notch 11. Similarly, the strap attachment member 5 has a first left side surface 5a and a second right side surface 5b that are arranged parallel to a plane E defined by the grip head longitudinal axis K1 and the stock grip longitudinal axis S and that extend parallel to the cross section AA shown in FIG.

[0165] Arranged on the first left-hand side surface 5a and on the second right-hand side surface 5b is a guide channel 28a or 28b, respectively, curved in accordance with the pivoting movement of the strap attachment member, which guide channel 28a or 28b runs parallel to the curve of the cover part 25, but extends from the underside 37 of the strap attachment member 5 (where it is an open groove) over a partial area of ​​the respective side wall 5a, 5b, and does not extend completely to the front wall 29 of the strap attachment member 5. In addition to restraining the above-mentioned members, each guide channel 28a, 28b also serves to guide the strap attachment member 5 during tilting movement about the pivot or tilting axis 9 or pin 9. This guidance is achieved by two lateral locking pins 7e, 7f of the above-mentioned attachment 7, which are also curved in accordance with the engagement or projection into these two guide channels 28a, 28b. This locking connection between the strap attachment member 5 and the attachment 7 connects the attachment 7 to the strap attachment member 5 and, indirectly, via the strap attachment member 5, also connects the attachment to the core 1a of the stock grip 1. In other words, the locking connection simultaneously functions to guide the rotation of the strap attachment member 5 between the locked position and the adjusted position, and to prevent the attachment 7 from being lost on the core 1a of the stock grip 1.

[0166] A locking passage 30a, 30b is arranged on each of the two side surfaces 5a, 5b of the strap attachment member 5, and when the strap attachment member 5 is in its rest position, i.e., in its non-tilted position, the locking passages 30a, 30b engage with respective locking teeth 31a, 31b directed inward from the side walls 14a, 14b of the core 1a. In this case, the locking passages 30a, 30b extend substantially parallel to the bottom surface 37 of the strap attachment member 5. The locking teeth 31a, 31b extend substantially parallel to the bottom 27 of the central notch 11 of the core 1a.

[0167] Furthermore, each side wall 5a, 5b of the strap attachment member 5 has another locking passage 33a, 33b that intersects the first or second locking passage 30a, 30b at an acute angle. The intersection of the first locking passage 30a and the third locking passage 33a in the first side wall 5a of the strap attachment member 5 and the intersection of the second locking passage 30b and the fourth locking passage 33b in the second side wall 5b of the strap attachment member 5 are defined by a through opening 38 in the strap attachment member 5 or by a receiving passage for a lateral pin 9 that pivotably connects the strap attachment member 5 to the stock grip core 1a. That is, in the untilted, rest state shown in Fig. 5a, the strap attachment member 5 engages with its first and second locking passages 30a, 30b into two opposing locking teeth 31a, 31b of the core 1a, as can be seen, for example, at the second side wall 14b of the core 1a in Fig. 6. To tilt the strap attachment member 5 forward to adjust the diameter of the hand strap, the strap portion 4a of the hand strap 4 is pulled upward. When the strap attachment element 5 is tilted forward about the pivot / tilt axis or about the transverse pin 9, the locking teeth 31 a, 31 b are pushed out of the corresponding first and second locking channels 30 a, 30 b, thus releasing the locking connection, and then, in the tilted position shown in Fig. 5b, the locking teeth 31 a, 31 b penetrate and lock into the third or fourth locking channel 33 a, 33 b, thus forming another locking connection. The plunge locking and unlocking provides, on the one hand, an easy form-fitting locking of the respective positions, and, on the other hand, also provides tactile and possibly acoustic feedback to the user.

[0168] Furthermore, when the strap attachment member 5 is tilted or pivoted, the clamping region 23 of the strap attachment member 5 is lifted from the step 27a. During the tilting operation, the protrusion 24 of the cover portion 25 of the strap attachment member 5 is also pivoted into the central notch 11 of the head region 2.

[0169] The strap attachment element 5 further has a front face 29 facing in the direction of travel L, the surface of which extends at an angle of less than 90° to the bottom face 37 of the strap attachment element 5. A recess 10a is arranged substantially centrally on this front face 29, which serves to attach a fastening means 10 for the second strap end 4d. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2 or 5a, 5b, this fastening means is configured as a screw. However, rivets, pins, adhesive bonding means, holes in the hand strap with a hook, or a combination of such fastening means could also be used here.

[0170] To replace the strap attachment member 5 or remove it, for example, to replace a hand strap, the attachment 7 can first be removed from the core 1a and the strap attachment member 5, i.e., the locking connection between the locking pins 7e, 7f of the arms 7a, 7b of the attachment 7 and the strap attachment member 5 can be released by spreading the arms 7a, 7b apart. This also releases the locking connection between the locking tongues 34 of the core 1a and the locking projections 7h, 7i of the bottom 7d of the attachment 7. Then (or even before this), the transverse pins 9 can be pushed out of the through-openings 38 of the strap attachment member 5 and the through-openings 8 below the head region 2 of the core 1a, for example, by using a pin with a smaller diameter. The strap attachment member 5 can be removed from the central recess 11 of the core 1a by pulling the strap attachment member 5 backward along the locking teeth 31a, 31b.

[0171] Alternatively, the transverse pin 9 may first be pushed out of the through-opening 38 of the strap attachment member 5 and the through-opening 8 below the head region 2 of the core 1a, for example by a pin of smaller diameter. The arms 7a, 7b are then spread apart and the strap attachment member 5 is pulled upwards or rearwards, thereby removing it from the central notch 11 of the core 1a. The attachment 7 is then removed from the core 1a, i.e. the locking connection between the locking pins 7e, 7f of the arms 7a, 7b of the attachment 7 is released.

[0172] To assemble the stock grip 1 during manufacture or after replacement or repair of the strap attachment member 5 or hand strap 4, as described above, the strap attachment member 5 is first inserted into the central notch 11 of the grip head 2 of the stock grip 1 substantially from the rear along the longitudinal axis K1 of the head region 2 and along the locking teeth 31a, 31b and attached to the core 1a of the stock grip 1 using the transverse pin 9, and then the attachment 7 is fitted onto the core 1a of the stock grip 1 from the front for further indirect connection between the strap attachment member 5 and the core 1a of the stock grip 1. Alternatively, the attachment can be fitted first, and then the strap attachment member 5 can be inserted and attached into the central notch 11 of the grip head 2 of the stock grip 1.

[0173] FIG. 15 shows a variation of the grip shown in FIG. 4. Here, the grip has a circumferentially extending cover 43 made of cork or foam (e.g., EVA) in the grip area. The cover 43 is fitted into a circumferentially extending recess 44 in the original region 45 of the hard core material forming the grip. The cover 43 continues at every edge to match the contour of the grip. This ensures a particularly easy-to-grip and additionally lightweight construction. To facilitate easy assembly of this construction, the cylindrical region 45 of the hard core material 3 has a circumferentially extending slit 46. This means that the grip is, so to speak, two-part with respect to the hard core material: an upper region 48 including the head region 2 and the upper portion of the region forming the axial recess 16, and a lower portion 49 including, for example, the shoulder 17 and the lower portion of the region forming the axial recess 16.

[0174] Advantageously, as shown by the dashed lines in the figure, the slit 46 is formed with a curved extension 47, which in particular ensures a certain degree of protection against relative rotation and can even provide a certain degree of positive or even force connection between the upper and lower parts. In one preferred variant, the curved slit 46 has a longitudinal edge portion 50 extending along the axis of the pole and a transverse edge portion 51 extending circumferentially and perpendicularly to the axis of the pole. Preferably, the longitudinal edges of the curved slits of the upper and lower parts are joined together with almost no play, or even with the intention of sliding against each other in abutting contact, or even rubbing against each other in a frictional manner, so that as precise an adjustment as possible of the position of the two grip parts with respect to rotation about the pole axis is achieved. Furthermore, advantageously, in its extension transverse to the stock axis, the bent slits form, at their transverse edges 51, a gap 52 between the contact surfaces of the end faces of the two sleeve parts of each grip part when the cover is attached, thereby avoiding over-definition of each grip part. This shape of the slits is considered advantageous and inventive independently of the other further features of the embodiment used here as an illustration.

[0175] Such a grip head is mounted by preparing the upper region 48, then fitting the cover 43 onto the cylindrical region 45 from below, and then inserting the lower region 49 from below into the open lower opening of the cover 43. The parts are bonded to each other by adhesive between the cover and the upper and lower regions 48, 49, although additional bonding means may be provided between the upper and lower regions 48, 49. Since these regions are ultimately fixed by the inserted stock pipe, it is sufficient to provide an adhesive bond between the respective regions 48 / 49 and the cover 43. Incidentally, the elastomeric regions on the underside of the grip head in the region of the raised portions 40, as already mentioned above, may also be arranged in corresponding recesses in the hard core material. However, typically, such elastomeric regions are not manufactured as separate components, but are more simply co-injected into the hard core material in a two-component process.
