Lenhart in Kirchheim. Easy to handle - a push button releases the pole tension. It is even lighter and smaller, but with the same holding force. The FRT grip is the latest technologie in nordic skiing. The fixed connection between hand and pole offers the best possible power transmission. The new Pro G grip offers perfect and powerful gripping due to the slim race geometry.
Extra soft surface guarantees maximum grip and makes it perfect for alpine skiing. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut. The Cross Shark offers you the speed of the Shark system and the support of a hiking grip.
Dynamic and comfortable construction for speed-oriented movement in the mountain. All of them came second in the overall ranking. Trigger S becomes Trigger 3D. Now LEKI has optimized its proven trigger technology and made it even better. Even more control, even more comfort and even more security! Our history - Today, Karl Lenharts' innovation equips each ski pole produced worldwide. Even today, LEKI is the only global pole manufacturing company that hardens shafts as part of in-house production.
This guarantees a consistently high quality standard. It is thus no surprise that this has become -and remains- the worldwide standard. This particular innovation took the market by storm and became an absolute standard in the pole construction field.
This innovation offers further functionality and increased safety. The revolutionary Trigger System, which was initially introduced for Alpine poles, was a major breakthrough in pole technology development.
At the same time, the first LEKI gloves came on the market. LEKI was the only company meeting the criteria of both quality-certification institutions. Its advantages were enormous and the system was very positively received by both recreational and racing athletes "nothing remains between your hand and the pole". But the pole plant is useful primarily for the timing of the turn and if done correctly it can properly open your hips and shoulders in anticipation of the next turn.
Also, the pole plant should be used or not based on terrain steep, technical terrain demands pole plants more than flat, smooth terrain , and speed slower speeds are more conducive to planting than high speeds. In it, Caulfield refers to removable ski baskets and pole straps at the top, which are still vital parts of the modern day ski pole. To help with the release of the turn, athletes need to pole plant now more than ever.
When purchasing poles, the general rule is to hold the pole upside-down, gripping underneath the basket and when your elbow is at 90 degrees, you have the right size. Olin adds that if there is any question, buy longer, you can always cut them down. A pole plant does not help when they are performed with a big arm movement. The movable handle arrangement I0 consists of hinge-levers I2 and IZx, to which is pivoted an intermediate pressure-bar.
The hinge-lever l 2 is formed with a finger which projects inwardly of the shaft through a slot therein. A spring I3 engages the top I4 of a rod I5, which rod I5 terminates in the retractable sharp ski prong 4. The finger of hinge lever I2 abuts the top of rod I5. When the handle member I 0 is moved in an upward vertical direction by means of pressure exerted by the hand of the skier, the prong 4 is extend through the pole opening 3. By releasing the manual pressure upon the handle member ID, the spring I3 will automatically retract the rod I5 thus retracting the prong 4.
The skiing pole thus formed, as above described, is capable of sustaining a bending load, when applied, of up to six hundred pounds, which is a sufiicient load capacity for all ordinary purposes. Thus, the tubular shaft is capable of sustaining a bending load substantially in excess I of that ordinarily sustained by bamboo poles.
The retractable prong of the ski pole affords protection from injury to the skier because it requires projection by positive hand action of the skier and is automatically retracted when such action is released.
The aluminum tubing employed in the construction of the shaft gives the skier a better balance while skiing and the safety features set forth are of importance in eliminating the large number of accidents commonly caused by means of the ski prong. In actual use, ski poles constructed in accordance with this invention have proved to be superior to poles of the present art, both in operation and desirability.
Having set forth my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is as follows:. A ski pole comprising in combination a tubular shaft, a rod.
