Abstract
A combination ski pole handle with a hand-operated watch or timing device mounted therein is disclosed, including a molded hand grip for mounting on the top end of a ski pole, a watch protectively mounted within the hand grip thereof and disposed on a rearwardly sloping top portion thereof to be easily viewable by the skier with the ski pole disposed in near vertical fashion which includes a timing function, and a finger-actuated trigger mechanism for controlling the timing function of the watch.
Claims15
A combination ski pole with a molded hand grip for mounting on the top end of the ski pole with a finger-operable timing function therein, comprising:
- (a) stop watch means incorporating a timing function with an external, manually-operable control means, said control means being operably disposed below said stop watch means, said stop watch means being operably disposed and protectively mounted in the uppermost portion of the molded hand grip and exposed for ready visual readout by the skier;
- (b) a finger-operable trigger means operably disposed in the molded hand grip and protectively mounted therein;
- and
- (c) mechanical means secured to the ski pole for operatively linking the watch to the trigger means,
- whereby when the trigger means is actuated by the skier's finger, the mechanical means is actuated for controlling the timing function of the stop-watch timing function as desired by the skier.
A combination ski pole with a molded hand grip for mounting on the top end of the ski pole with a finger-operable timing function therein, comprising:
- (a) stop watch means incorporating a timing function with an external, manually-operable control means, said stop watch means being operably disposed and protectively mounted in the upper portion of the molded hand grip;
- (b) a finger-operable trigger means operably disposed in the molded hand grip and protectively mounted therein;
- (c) mechanical means secured to the ski-pole for operatively linking the watch to the trigger means, whereby when the trigger means is actuated by the skier's finger, the mechanical means is actuated for controlling the timing function of the stop-watch timing function as desired by the skier,
- a transversely arranged rod adapted for lateral movement within the ski pole, said transversely arranged rod being operably engaged at one of its ends with the trigger means;
- and
- a longitudinally arranged pin adapted for longitudinal movement within the ski pole, said longitudinally arranged pin being operably engaged at one of its ends with the other end of the transversely arranged rod and operably engaged at the other end with the external manually operable timing function control means of the the stop watch means, so that when said transverse rod is actuated by the triggering means, the transverse rod moves the longitudinal pin upwardly causing said longitudinal pin to actuate the timing function of the stop watch means.
