Stick for walking or hiking, has sleeve including intermediate portion made of elastically deformable material, and sized to deform elastically in response to bending force exerted between upper and lower tubular sections

摘要

The stick (2) has a sleeve (14) including an end portion connected to a proximal end (4b) of an upper tubular section (4), and another end portion connected to a proximal end (6b) of a lower tubular section (6), where an intermediate portion of the sleeve connects the end portions of the sleeve. The intermediate portion of the sleeve is made of an elastically deformable material, and sized to deform elastically in response to a bending force with a value greater than or equal to a predetermined value exerted between the tubular sections.
