Die Erfindung betrifft einen Stock mit den Merkmalen des einleitenden Teils von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a stick with the features of the introductory part Part of claim 1.

Derartige Stöcke werden als Wander-, Berg-, oder Skistöcke verwendet. Längenverstellbare Stöcke der eingangs genannten Gattung sind bekannt. Das Verstellen dieser bekannten Stöcke ist jedoch mit verhältnismäßig großem Aufwand verbunden, und kann nur unter Zuhilfenahme beider Hände ausgeführt werden. Dies bedeutet, dass jede Veränderung der Länge des Stockes nur mit erheblichem Aufwand durchgeführt werden kann, sodass insbesondere bei ungünstigen Verhältnissen, beispielsweise bei schlechter Witterung (Kälte), auf das an sich vorteilhafte Anpassen der Länge des Stockes an die jeweils gegebene Geländesituation verzichtet wird.Such poles are used as hiking, mountain or ski poles. Length-adjustable sticks of the type mentioned are known. The adjustment of these known sticks is however with relatively great effort, and can only be done with the help with both hands. This means that everyone Changing the length of the stick only with considerable effort can be carried out so that especially in unfavorable conditions, for example, in bad weather (cold), on the advantageous adaptation of the length of the stick to the respective given site situation is waived.

    • Ein erfindungsgemäßer Stock besteht aus zwei ineinandergeschobenen Rohren 8 und 14, wobei das untere Ende des Rohres 8 in das obere Ende des Rohres 14 teleskopartig eingeführt ist, wie dies beispielsweise in Fig. 1 und 5 gezeigt ist.A stick according to the invention consists of two nested Tubes 8 and 14, with the lower end of tube 8 in the upper End of the tube 14 is inserted telescopically, such as this 1 and 5 is shown.

    Am oberen Ende des inneren Rohres 8 ist ein Handgriff 2 befestigt. Am Handgriff 2 ist über einen Befestigungsstift 22 eine Halteschlaufe 1 befestigt, wie sie für Skistöcke und Wanderstöcke bekannt und üblich ist.At the upper end of the inner tube 8, a handle 2 is attached. On the handle 2 is a strap 22 via a fastening pin 1 attached as known for ski poles and hiking poles and is common.

    In einer Ausnehmung im Handgriff 2 ist ein Hebel 5 mit zwei Hebelarmen 3 und 6 um eine Achse 4 verschwenkbar gelagert.In a recess in the handle 2 is a lever 5 with two lever arms 3 and 6 pivotally mounted about an axis 4.

    Am Hebel 5 ist mit Abstand zu seiner Achse 4 eine Zugstange 17 über einen Stift 7 befestigt. Durch Schwenken des Hebels 5 um seine Achse 4 wird die Zugstange 17 in Längsrichtung des Stockes bewegt. On the lever 5 is a pull rod 17 at a distance from its axis 4 attached a pin 7. By pivoting the lever 5 about its axis 4, the pull rod 17 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the stick.

    Durch Schwenken des Hebels 5 aus der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Stellung in die in Fig. 3 gezeigte Stellung, wobei der Hebel 5 durch Angriff an seinem Hebelarm 3 verschwenkt werden kann, wird die Zugstange 17 nach unten in Richtung auf das äußere Rohr 14 des Stockes verschoben.By pivoting the lever 5 from the position shown in Fig. 2 in the position shown in Fig. 3, wherein the lever 5 by attack can be pivoted on its lever arm 3, the pull rod 17th moved down towards the outer tube 14 of the stick.

    Das obere Ende der Zugstange 17 weist eine Kröpfung 21 auf, sodass in der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Stellung eine Über-Totpunkt-Lage des Stiftes 7 bezüglich der Achse 4 des Hebels 5 gegeben ist, und der Hebel 5 bei Zug an der Zugstange 17 in der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Stellung gehalten wird.The upper end of the pull rod 17 has a crank 21, so that in the position shown in Fig. 2 an over-dead center position of the Pin 7 is given with respect to the axis 4 of the lever 5, and Lever 5 when pulling on the pull rod 17 in that shown in Fig. 2 Position is held.

    An dem unteren, vom Griff 2 entfernten Ende der Stange 17 ist im Bereich der Überlappung der Rohre 8 und 14 und teilweise im Rohr 8 aufgenommen, ein Klemmteil 10 vorgesehen. Dieser Klemmteil 10 besteht aus einem Körper 11, der an seinem oberen Ende 12 mit dem unteren Ende der Betätigungsstange 17 verbunden ist. Beispielsweise ist die Betätigungsstange 17 unten abgebogen und in ein Loch im Ende 12 des Körpers 11 eingehängt (Fig. 6).At the lower, from the handle 2 end of the rod 17 is in Area of overlap of tubes 8 and 14 and partially in tube 8 added, a clamping part 10 is provided. This clamping part 10 consists of a body 11 which at its upper end 12 with the lower end of the operating rod 17 is connected. For example the operating rod 17 is bent down and into a hole in the end 12 of the body 11 hooked (Fig. 6).

    Über einen zylindrischen Abschnitt des Körpers 11 des Klemmteils 10 ist eine Hülse 15 aus elastisch verformbarem Werkstoff, wie Gummi oder Silikon, geschoben. Zwischen dem oberen Ende der Hülse 15 und dem unteren Ende 9 des inneren Rohres 8 ist auf dem zylindrischen Teil des Körpers 11 in Ausrichtung gleitend beweglich eine Ringscheibe 16 angeordnet. Über die Ringscheibe 16 stützt sich das obere Ende der Hülse 15 am unteren Ende 9 des Rohres 8 ab. Das untere Ende der Hülse 15 aus elastisch verformbarem Werkstoff ist an der nach oben weisenden Ringfläche eines gegenüber dem zylindrischen Teil des Körpers 11 vorspringenden, durchmessergrößeren Abschnittes 13 des Körpers 11 abgestützt. Die beschriebene Ausführung des Klemmteils 10 ist in Fig. 6 in ausgebautem (und entspanntem) Zustand, also ohne die Rohre 8 und 14 dargestellt.Via a cylindrical section of the body 11 of the clamping part 10 is a sleeve 15 made of elastically deformable material, such as rubber or silicone, pushed. Between the upper end of the sleeve 15 and the lower end 9 of the inner tube 8 is on the cylindrical Part of the body 11 slidably movable in alignment an annular disc 16 arranged. The upper one is supported via the annular disk 16 End of the sleeve 15 at the lower end 9 of the tube 8. The bottom end the sleeve 15 made of elastically deformable material is on the top facing ring surface of one opposite the cylindrical part of the Body 11 projecting, larger diameter portion 13 of the Body 11 supported. The described design of the clamping part 10 is in the expanded (and relaxed) state, ie without the tubes 8 and 14 shown.

    Wenn der Hebel 5 die in Fig. 3 gezeigte Stellung einnimmt, ist die Hülse 15 axial nicht gestaucht und der Klemmteil 10 in seiner "Lose"-Stellung (Stellung nach Fig. 5 und 6), sodass die Rohre 8 und 14 zur Veränderung der Länge des Stockes gegeneinander verschoben nämlich weiter auseinander gezogen oder weiter ineinander geschoben werden können.When the lever 5 assumes the position shown in Fig. 3, the Sleeve 15 is not axially compressed and the clamping part 10 in its "Loose" position (position according to FIGS. 5 and 6), so that the pipes 8 and 14 shifted against each other to change the length of the stick namely pulled further apart or pushed further into each other can be.

    Sobald der Hebel 3 durch Zug an seinem Hebelarm 6 aus der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Stellung in die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Stellung bewegt wird, wird unter der Wirkung der Bewegung der Zugstange 17 der Körper 11 nach oben weiter in das Rohr 8 hineingezogen. Dabei wird die zwischen dem unteren Ende 9 des Rohres 8 über die Ringscheibe 16 und dem Vorsprung 13 des Körpers 1 eingespannte Hülse 15 axial gestaucht. Die Hülse 15 würde dann die in Fig. 4 gezeigte nach aussen gewölbte Stellung einnehmen mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Hülse 15 mit ihrer Aussenfläche gegen die Innenfläche des Rohres 14 gepresst wird und so der Klemmteil 10 seine "Klemm"-Stellung einnimmt. In dieser Stellung wird zwischen dem Klemmteil 10 und dem äußeren Rohr 14 Reibschluß bewirkt, der ein Verschieben des Rohres 8 im Rohr 14 verhindert. Auf diese Weise wird eine einmal eingestellte Länge des Stockes, also die Relativlage der Rohre 8 und 14 zueinander, durch den Klemmteil 10 zuverlässig fixiert.As soon as the lever 3 by pulling on its lever arm 6 from the in Fig. 3rd position shown is moved into the position shown in Fig. 2, under the action of the movement of the pull rod 17, the body 11 pulled further up into the tube 8. The between the lower end 9 of the tube 8 via the washer 16 and the projection 13 of the body 1 clamped sleeve 15 axially compressed. The sleeve 15 would then the one shown in Fig. 4 to the outside assume arched position with the result that the sleeve 15 with its outer surface is pressed against the inner surface of the tube 14 and so the clamping part 10 assumes its "clamping" position. In this Position is between the clamping part 10 and the outer tube 14th Friction causes a displacement of the tube 8 in the tube 14th prevented. In this way, a length of the Stockes, that is, the relative position of the tubes 8 and 14 to each other the clamping part 10 reliably fixed.

    Am unteren Ende des Körpers 11 ist ein Ansatz 18 mit Loch 19 vorgesehen, in dem eine Schnur 20, oder ein anderes langgestrecktes flexibles Element, befestigt ist. In Fig. 7 ist gezeigt, wie das untere Ende der Schnur 20 am unteren Ende 24 des äußeren Rohres 14 festgelegt ist. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Schnur 20 mit einem Knoten 28 an einem Splint oder einer Scheibe 27, die am unteren Ende 24 des Rohres 14 anliegt, gesichert. Das untere Ende des äußeren Rohres 14 kann durch eine mit einem Schneeteller 26 ausgestattete Stockspitze 25 abgedeckt sein, sodass das untere Ende der Schnur 20 geschützt ist.At the lower end of the body 11, a shoulder 18 with a hole 19 is provided, in which a cord 20, or another elongated flexible element, is attached. In Fig. 7 it is shown how that lower end of the cord 20 at the lower end 24 of the outer tube 14 is set. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the cord is 20th with a knot 28 on a split pin or a washer 27, which on lower end 24 of the tube 14 is secured. The bottom end of the outer tube 14 can by a with a snow plate 26th equipped stick tip 25 to be covered, so that the lower end the cord 20 is protected.

    Bei dem einhändig zur Längenveränderung bedienbaren erfindungsgemäßen Stock aus zwei Rohren 8 und 14 - das Rohr 8 kann auch über das Rohr 14 geschoben sein - kann durch den insbesondere ohne Auslassen des Griffes 2 vom Griff 2 aus betätigbaren Klemmteil 10 der Stock in der jeweils gewünschten Länge arrettiert werden. Bei entspanntem Klemmteil 10 kann der Stock in seiner Länge auf das jeweils gewünschte Maß eingestellt werden, indem die Rohre 8 und 14 relativ zueinander teleskopartig verschoben werden. In einer Ausführungsform kann das mit dem Griff 2 verbundene Rohr 8 auch das Aussenrohr sein, in welchem Fall auch die Zugstange 17, die den Hebel 5 mit dem Klemmteil 10 kuppelt ausserhalb der Rohre 8 und 14 angeordnet sein kann.In the one-handed operation according to the invention for changing the length Stick from two tubes 8 and 14 - the tube 8 can also be over the tube 14 can be pushed - in particular without omitting of the handle 2 from the handle 2 of the clamp part 10 which can be actuated Stick can be locked in the desired length. When relaxed Clamping part 10, the length of the stick to each desired dimension can be set by the tubes 8 and 14 relatively to be telescopically shifted to each other. In one embodiment the tube 8 connected to the handle 2 can also be the outer tube, in which case the tie rod 17, which the lever 5 with the Clamping part 10 couples can be arranged outside the tubes 8 and 14 can.

    In Fig. 3 ist gezeigt, dass die Stellung des Hebels 5 in der Stellung, in welcher der Klemmteil 10 entspannt ist, durch Anliegen des Hebelarmes 3 an dem die Schlaufe 1 am Griff 2 fixierenden Stift 22 definiert ist. So ist der Endpunkt der Schwenkbewegung des Hebels 5 aus der Stellung von Fig. 1 in die von Fig. 2 begrenzt. Diese Ausführungsform erlaubt es durch Entfernen des Stiftes 22 den Hebel 3 weiterzuverschwenken, und so den Klemmteil 10 aus dem Rohr 8 auszubauen, beziehungsweise die Stange 17 so weit nach unten zu bewegen, dass der Körper 11 aus der unteren Abwinklung der Stange 17 ausgehängt werden kann (Pfeil 23).In Fig. 3 it is shown that the position of the lever 5 in the position in which the clamping part 10 is relaxed, by applying the Lever arm 3 on the pin 22 fixing the loop 1 to the handle 2 is defined. This is the end point of the pivoting movement of the lever 5 limited from the position of Fig. 1 in that of Fig. 2. This embodiment allows lever 3 by removing pin 22 to pivot further, and thus to remove the clamping part 10 from the tube 8, or to move the rod 17 so far down, that the body 11 is detached from the lower bend of the rod 17 can be (arrow 23).

    Der vom Klemmteil 10 ausgeübte Druck auf die Innenflächen des Rohres 14 kann durch Hinzufügen oder Entfernen von Ringscheiben 16 zwischen die Hülse 15 und dem unteren Ende 9 des inneren Rohres 8 auf den jeweils benötigten Wert eingestellt werden.The pressure exerted by the clamping part 10 on the inner surfaces of the tube 14 can by adding or removing washers 16 between the sleeve 15 and the lower end 9 of the inner tube 8 on the the required value can be set.

    Die Länge der Schnur 20 ist bevorzugt so bemessen, dass das obere Ende des Rohres 14 das untere Ende des Rohre 8 übergreift, also die Rohre 8 und 14 ineinander geschoben bleiben, wenn die Schnur 20 gestreckt ist. So wird gewährleistet, dass auch in der geöffneten Stellung des Klemmteils 10 (Stellung des Hebls 5 gemäß Fig. 2) ein Auseinanderfallen der beiden Stockteile (Rohr 8 und Rohr 14) verhindert wird.The length of the cord 20 is preferably such that the upper End of the tube 14 overlaps the lower end of the tube 8, that is Pipes 8 and 14 remain pushed together when the cord 20 is stretched. This ensures that even in the open Position of the clamping part 10 (position of the lever 5 according to FIG. 2) The two parts of the stick (tube 8 and tube 14) are prevented from falling apart becomes.

    Zusammenfassend kann ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wie folgt dargestellt werden:
    Ein längenveränderlicher Wander-, Berg- oder Skistock besteht aus zwei teleskopartig ineinandergeschobenen Rohren 8 und 14. An dem in Gebrauchslage oberen Rohr 8 ist ein Griff 2 befestigt. Im Bereich des unteren, im zweiten Rohr 14 aufgenommenen Endes 9 des ersten Rohres 8 ist ein Klemmteil 10 angeordnet. Dieser Klemmteil 10 trägt eine elastische Hülse 15, die mit ihrer Aussenfläche durch axiales Verkürzen reibschlüssig an die Innenfläche des zweiten Rohres 14 anlegbar ist, und so eine Relativverschiebung zwischen den Rohren 8 und 14 und damit eine Änderung der Länge des Stockes verhindert. Zum Betätigen des Klemmteiles 10 ist dieser über eine Zugstange 17 mit einem Hebel 5 gekuppelt, der im Griff 2 verschwenkbar gelagert ist. So kann der Klemmteil 10 mit einer Hand durch Verschwenken des Hebels 3 wahlweise gelöst oder fixiert werden, ohne dass der Stock ausgelassen werden muß oder eine zweite Hand zu Hilfe genommen werden braucht.    In summary, an embodiment of the invention can be represented as follows:
    A variable-length hiking, mountain or ski pole consists of two telescopically inserted tubes 8 and 14. A handle 2 is attached to the upper tube 8 in the position of use. A clamping part 10 is arranged in the region of the lower end 9 of the first tube 8, which is received in the second tube 14. This clamping part 10 carries an elastic sleeve 15, which can be frictionally applied to the inner surface of the second tube 14 with its outer surface by axial shortening, and thus prevents a relative displacement between the tubes 8 and 14 and thus a change in the length of the stick. To actuate the clamping part 10, it is coupled via a pull rod 17 to a lever 5 which is pivotably mounted in the handle 2. Thus, the clamping part 10 can be released or fixed with one hand by pivoting the lever 3 without the stick having to be left out or a second hand being used.
