Grip for a stick or pole

Abstract

A grip ( 1 ) for sticks or poles with a loop ( 6 ) consists entirely of grip-friendly material such as foamed plastic and has a holding part ( 20 ) which is mounted solely on the shaft ( 5 ) for fixing the strip ( 7 ) which forms the loop ( 6 ). Thus the loop ( 6 ) can be attached to the shaft ( 5 ) without the grip ( 1 ) itself being used at the same time for attaching the loop ( 6 ); this makes it possible to produce the grip from grip-friendly material without the danger of the grip ( 1 ) being damaged by the forces applied by the loop ( 6 ).

1 . Grip ( 1 ) for a pole or stick with a shaft ( 5 ) and with a loop ( 6 ), for example a ski pole or hiking staff, characterized in that on the top end of the shaft ( 5 ) held in the grip ( 1 ) there is a holding part ( 12 ,  20 ) for fixing the ends of the strip ( 7 ) which forms the loop ( 6 ), and wherein the grip ( 1 ) which has been placed over the top end of the shaft ( 5 ) consists of grip-friendly material.  
   
   
       2 . Grip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the grip ( 1 ) including its segment in which the holding part ( 12 ,  20 ) for the loop ( 6 ) is located consists of grip-friendly material.  
   
   
       3 . Grip as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the grip ( 1 ) consists integrally of grip-friendly material.  
   
   
       4 . Grip as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the grip ( 1 ) consists of foamed plastic.  
   
   
       5 . Grip as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the grip ( 1 ) consists of cork.  
   
   
       6 . Grip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the holding part ( 12 ,  20 ) is located entirely within the grip ( 1 ).  
   
   
       7 . Grip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein there is a tube-shaped part on the shaft ( 5 ) underneath the grip ( 1 ).  
   
   
       8 . Grip as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the tube-shaped part is made integrally with the grip ( 1 ).  
   
   
       9 . Grip as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the tube-shaped part is a separate part which is located following the bottom end of the grip ( 1 ).  
   
   
       10 . Grip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the holding part ( 12 ) has a cylindrical segment ( 13 ) which is inserted into the top end of the shaft ( 5 ).  
   
   
       11 . Grip as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the holding part ( 12 ) sits on the top end of the shaft ( 5 ) by means of a shoulder ( 14 ) on the top end of its segment ( 13 ) which is held in the shaft ( 5 ).  
   
   
       12 . Grip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the holding part ( 20 ) is placed over the top end of the shaft ( 5 ) by means of the sleeve-shaped segment ( 21 ).  
   
   
       13 . Grip as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the holding part ( 20 ) has a transverse wall ( 27 ) which sits on the top end of the shaft ( 5 ) ( FIG. 4   c ).  
   
   
       14 . Grip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the top end of the shaft ( 5 ) there is a plug-like holding part ( 12 ) into which a screw ( 16 ) which is coaxial to the axis of the shaft ( 5 ) is driven for fixing the ends of the strip ( 7 ) which forms the loop ( 6 ).  
   
   
       15 . Grip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the holding part ( 20 ) there is an opening ( 23 ) which is aligned transversely to the lengthwise axis of the shaft ( 5 ) for holding the ends of the strip ( 7 ) which forms the loop ( 6 ), and wherein there is a pin ( 9 ) which penetrates the grip ( 1 ) including the holding part ( 20 ) for the loop ( 6 ) and around which the ends of the strip ( 7 ) which forms the loop ( 6 ) are wrapped.  
   
   
       16 . Grip as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the opening ( 23 ) is bordered by two side walls ( 25 ) in which there are holes ( 24 ) for the pin ( 9 ).  
   
   
       17 . Grip as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein on the top end of the holding part ( 12 ,  20 ) there is an open recess ( 30 ) away from the shaft ( 5 ).  
   
   
       18 . Grip as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the part of the holding part ( 12 ,  20 ) which has the recess ( 30 ) is located in a hole ( 31 ) on the top end of the grip ( 1 ).  
   
   
       19 . Grip as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the recess ( 30 ) is aligned coaxially to the axis of the shaft ( 5 ).  
   
   
       20 . Grip as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the hole ( 31 ) is aligned coaxially to the axis of the shaft ( 5 ) on the top end of the grip ( 1 ).  
   
   
       21 . Grip as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein a body of the same material as the grip ( 1 ) is inserted into the recess ( 30 ).  
   
   
       22 . Grip as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein a body with a trademark or other symbol is inserted into the recess ( 30 ).  
   
   
       23 . Grip as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein a compass is inserted into the recess ( 30 ).
