Abstract
A conversion kit for converting a pair of standard trekking poles into a camp chair consists of two corner brackets, two cross brackets, two compression brackets, and a fabric sling for a seat. Standard trekking poles have 3 segments that combine together, a handle segment, a middle segment and a tip segment. The corner brackets connect the two tip segments, and one of the middle segments. The cross brackets connect the two handle segments to the two tip segments. The compression bracket connects the two handle segments to the other middle segment. The fabric sling is attached to the two middle segments, and the two tip segments.
Claims17
A conversion kit for using standard trekking poles to make a camp chair, wherein the standard trekking poles are comprised of three interlocking segments, namely a handle segment, wherein the handle segment has a handle end and an opposing end A, a middle segment having an end B which connects to handle segment end A, and an opposing end C, the handle segment further has a compression mechanism on end A such that when the middle segment end B is inserted into the handle segment end A the compression mechanism is then engaged to secure the connection of the two segments, and a tip segment, wherein the tip segment has a tip end and an opposing end D, which connects to middle segment end C, the kit comprising:
- Two corner brackets each having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, wherein said horizontal portion has a through hole E sized to receive the trekking pole middle segment, and wherein said vertical portion has a hole F sized to receive the tip segment end D;
- Two cross brackets each having a first through hole and a second through hole, wherein said first through hole is sized to receive the handle segment, and said second through hole is sized to receive the tip segment, wherein said first through hole is approximately perpendicular to said second through hole, and further wherein said first through hole does not intersect said second through hole, further, said first through hole must be able to be opened to allow placement of the handle portion, and then closed around the handle portion to secure said handle portion;
- Two compression brackets each having a male end and a female end which is perpendicular to said male end, wherein said male end is sized to fit within the handle segment end A, and said female end comprises a through hole which is sized to receive the middle segment;
- A fabric sling having four sides, a top side, a bottom side, and opposing vertical sides, wherein said top side and said bottom side each have attachment mechanisms for attachment to the middle segment of the trekking poles.
