Abstract
A ski pole has a tubular body member with an arcuate or circular transparent or translucent insert in the wall thereof comprising a window element and a light source within the body member illuminates this window member and also projects light along the interior of the body member to an inclined mirror element at a lower portion of the ski pole. The light impinging on this mirror element is directed radially outwardly through a lens member fitted into the wall of the ski pole so that reflected light from the mirror is projected outwardly to illuminate the surrounding terrain.
Claims5
In a ski pole, a tubular body member, an arcuate window element of transparent or translucent material set into the wall of said tubular body member to form a smooth continuation of the outer wall thereof, a light source within said tubular body member to illuminate said window element and project light lengthwise in the interior of said body member, a lens in the wall of said body member relatively remote from said window element in an axial direction and a mirror element adjacent to said lens for reflecting said projected light through said lens member to be emitted laterally of said ski pole.
