Warning device

摘要

The present invention pertains to a warning apparatus with respect to a ski-pole. The warning apparatus is comprised of a device for signaling that does not require the ski-pole to be seen in order for a signal provided by the signaling device to be noticed. The signaling device is in juxtaposition with the ski-pole. Additionally, the warning apparatus is comprised of a device for activating the signaling device. The activating device is in communication with the signaling device. In a preferred embodiment, the activating device includes a device for powering the signaling device and a device for actuating the powering device so the signaling device receives power to produce a signal. In a more preferred embodiment, the warning apparatus is comprised of a modular grip that is comprised of a first element having a first opening that receives the end of the ski-pole, a platform at the top of the first element, a hand conforming area disposed essentially parallel to the first opening, and a second opening disposed essentially parallel to the first opening and disposed in the first element essentially opposite the hand conforming area. The modular grip is also comprised of a second element having the device for signaling and the device for actuating the signaling means. The second element is removably attached to the platform. Additionally, the modular grip is comprised of a third element having the device for powering the signaling device. The powering device is controlled by the actuating device to power the signaling device. The third element is removably attached to the second opening of the element.
