The invention consists of a Nordic walking/running/exercise pole, which is equipped with a handle flexing towards the pole shaft.

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.

An adjustable and retractable rod includes an external pipe fitting, a multi-section rod and a positioning unit. The multi-section rod includes a first and at least one second foldable rod, where the first and second foldable rods have the same outer diameter, and the positioning unit includes a linkage rope, a positioning component and a locking component, which are used to pull the external pipe fitting and the first foldable rod relative to each other. The linkage rope can be dragged, and the locking component and the positioning unit interlocked or separated. When the locking component and the positioning component are interlocked, the external pipe fitting can be connected to the multi-section rod unit in an unfolded state. When the locking component moves away from the positioning component, the first and second foldable rods of the multi-section rod are folded and in parallel relative to the external pipe fitting.

The invention relates to a pole handle (1) for walking poles, trekking poles, alpine ski poles, cross-country ski poles or Nordic walking poles, comprising a length-adjustable hand strap (2), wherein the strap length is fixed using a blocking element arranged in the handle body. A first end of the hand strap is secured in a top section (4a) of the handle body (4), wherein a mid-section (2d) of the strap is introduced into a recess (6) of the handle body (4), is deflected about a deflection element (11) in the recess (6), and passes downwards out of the handle body as the free second end (2b). The blocking element is pressed onto a lower strap section (2e) in order to block the adjustability of the length of the hand strap.

The present invention discloses an automatic telescopic pole, which comprises a first pole section having an upper end and a lower end; a second pole section telescopically disposed inside the first pole section; a handle disposed on the upper end of the first pole section; an elastic member disposed between the second pole section and the first pole section; a clasp-type telescopic locking device disposed between the second pole section and the first pole section; a driving rod having an upper end and a lower end, and disposed in the clasp-type telescopic locking device along a longitudinal direction of the first pole section; wherein, a button mechanism having a button is disposed on the handle; and, a lock catch is slideably disposed on the handle and in front of the button mechanism.

A pole handle (1), for walking sticks and the like, having a handle body (3) and a hook-like device (14) for fastening a hand strap or of a glove. A displaceable latch-in structure (7) is arranged in the region of the hook-like device (14) such that a eyelet-form device (42), which is provided on the hand strap or glove and is pushed into the hook-like device (14) essentially from above, is fixed in the hook-like device (14) with self-latching action. The pole handle (1) does not have any structure that can displace or free the latch-in structure (7), such that an eyelet-form device (42) pushed into the hook-like device (14) can be removed from a confined region (15) in a force-free manner or counter to a relatively low force, the hand strap or glove being separated from the pole handle (1) in the process.

The invention relates to a size-adjustable glove (1) which has a thumb covering (4) and at least one first finger covering (5) that has a coupling element (25) in a saddle region between the thumb covering and the first finger covering, said coupling element being suitable for releasably securing the glove to a coupling device of a pole grip.

The invention relates to a Nordic walking pole, comprising a pole tube (2), at the lower end of which an attachment (3) is provided, to which attachment a buffer (4) of rubber-elastic material is detachably fastened. The buffer according to the invention has an insert (5) of hard material in a central cut-out. Said insert is fastened to the attachment in order to connect the buffer to the pole.

An adjustable and retractable rod apparatus includes an external pipe fitting, a multi-section rod unit and a positioning unit. The multi-section rod unit includes a first foldable rod and at least one second foldable rod, where the first and second foldable rods have the same outer diameter, and the positioning unit includes a linkage rope, a positioning component and a locking component, which are used to pull the external pipe fitting and the first foldable rod relative to each other. The linkage rope can be dragged, and the locking component and the positioning unit interlocked or separated. When the locking component and the positioning component are interlocked, the external pipe fitting can be connected to the multi-section rod unit in an unfolded state. When the locking component moves away from the positioning component, the first and second foldable rods of the multi-section rod unit are folded and in parallel relative to the external pipe fitting.

The invention relates to a folding pole (1), normally comprising four pipe sections (7-9), wherein the pipe sections (7-9) are connected to each other by means of plug-in connections while aligned along the pole axis (32) in the assembled state of the folding pole (1), and normally only three pipe sections (8, 8, 9) are still connected to each other by means of a movable connecting element (16) in the folded state, and wherein a pole handle (2) is arranged on a top pipe section (7) and a pole tip (23) is arranged on a bottom pipe section (9). According to the invention, at least one of the plug-in connections is realized by means of an external clamping mechanism (10), wherein the clamping mechanism (10) is fastened to a first pipe section (7), and wherein a second pipe section (8), which has an outside diameter smaller than or nearly equal to the inside diameter of the first pipe section (7), and which is supported in the first pipe section (7) so as to be movable itself, can be fastened in the relative axial position by the external clamping mechanism (10). The further plug-in connections are designed as pure plug-in connections, wherein pipe sections (8, 8, 9) are fastened only an axial direction in the connected state. The pipe sections (7-9) are connected to each other by means of at least one tension cable (16), which is fastened to the bottom pipe section (9) and to the top pipe section (7) and which is arranged so as to pass through the interior (31) of the at least two middle pipe sections (8, 8). The folding pole (1) is designed in such a way that the folding pole can be transferred from the folded state to the assembled state by connecting the further plug-in connections, and then, with the external clamping mechanism (10) released, pulling the second pipe section (8) out of the first pipe section (7) until the tension cable (16) is under tension, and fastening the external clamping mechanism (10).
