Abstract
A pole handle for a ski pole or trekking pole, having a head region and a handle region, and an axial orifice which is open downwardly on one side to receive a pole tube, wherein the pole handle has a core with a left-hand side wall and a right-hand side wall, at least in certain regions, wherein the two side walls are connected at the top by a top surface so that the walls and the surface enclose a cavity, and the left-hand side wall and the right-hand side wall laterally delimit the cavity, and wherein the two side walls each have at least one aperture in a direction transverse to the pole handle longitudinal axis (S) and transverse to the direction of travel with a determined area.
Claims25
A pole handle comprising:
- a head region and a handle region, and also an axial orifice which is open downwardly on one side and which is configured to receive a pole tube;
- wherein the pole handle has a core;
- wherein the core comprises two side walls comprising a first, left-hand side wall and a second, right-hand side wall, at least in certain regions;
- wherein the two side walls are connected at a top by a top surface so that the side walls and the top surface enclose a cavity, and the first, left-hand side wall and the second, right-hand side wall in the head region laterally delimit the cavity;
- wherein the two side walls each has at least one aperture in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the pole handle and transverse to a direction of travel, and at least one of the two following conditions is met:
- a. an aperture area of at least one of the apertures in one side wall is more than 10 mm2, and
- b. a total area of all of the apertures in both side walls is more than 10 mm2;
- and
- wherein the pole handle has at least one attachment which is releasably fastened to the core, which encloses the core in certain regions in the head region in a peripheral direction and which at least partially covers at least one of the apertures and orifices in the top surface on an outer side.
A pole handle comprising:
- a head region and a handle region, and also an axial orifice which is open downwardly on one side and which is configured to receive a pole tube;
- wherein the pole handle has a core;
- wherein the core comprises two side walls comprising a first, left-hand side wall and a second, right-hand side wall, at least in certain regions,
- wherein the two side walls are connected at a top by a top surface so that the side walls and the top surface enclose a cavity, and the first, left-hand side wall and the second, right-hand side wall in the head region laterally delimit the cavity, and
- wherein the two side walls each has at least one aperture in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the pole handle and transverse to a direction of travel, and at least one of the two following conditions is met:
- a. an aperture area of at least one of said apertures in one side wall is more than 10 mm2, and
- b. a total area of all of said apertures in both side walls is more than 10 mm2;
- and
- wherein, in the head region which is delimited towards the top by the top surface, the pole handle has a central orifice on the rear side, a strap fastening element with a hand strap fastened to the strap fastening element being received in said central orifice in a rear region of the head region.
