Quick Release Ski Pole And Strap System

US Patent:
RE38573, Aug 31, 2004
Filed:
Aug 26, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/140831
Inventors:
Galen Wells - Vancouver WA 98662
International Classification:
A63C 1122
US Classification:
280822
Abstract:
A quick release skip pole strap system includes a novel ski pole strap that attaches to a ski pole grip. A locking mechanism within the ski pole grip automatically engages with a strap pin. A button attached to a side of the ski pole grip, when depressed, causes the strap pin to automatically eject from the ski pole grip decoupling the skier from the ski pole. The skier can depress the button without having to remove his hands from the ski pole grips. The ski pole strap in one embodiment is made of an elastic material that automatically pulls the pin from the ski pole grip and holds the ski pole in a “ready to plant” position.
