Abstract
A novel perimeter indication rod assembly includes a perimeter indication rod for pivotal connection to a ski pole by a rod positioning mechanism. The rod positioning mechanism is configured to selectively hold the perimeter indication rod in extended or stowed position. The distal extent of the perimeter indication rod visually indicates a desired lateral safety distance from the skier.
Claims20
A ski pole, comprising:
- a pole having an upper portion and a lower end;
- a handle attached to the upper portion of the pole;
- and
- a perimeter indication rod pivotally connected to the pole by a rod positioning mechanism;
- wherein the rod positioning mechanism is configured to selectively hold the perimeter indication rod in at least two angular positions, the least two angular positions including an extended position and a stowed position;
- and
- wherein the distal extent of the perimeter indication rod visually indicates a desired lateral distance from the pole.
