Abstract

The invention relates to a damping device (1) for a pole, in particular a trekking, ski, hiking, or Nordic walking pole, having an attaching sleeve (4) by means of which the damping device (1) is attached to a first tube segment (11, 44) by inserting and attaching therein, and having an attaching element (3) by means of which the damping device (1) is attached to a pole handle (5) or a second tube segment (43) having a larger inner diameter than the first tube segment (11, 44). The attaching element (3) is thereby movably supported in a spring-loaded manner in the axial direction with respect to the attaching sleeve (4), in that a rod (2) connected to or integral to the attaching element (3) runs axially and is axially movably supported in the attaching sleeve (4) and extends into an inner chamber (46) in the attaching sleeve (4) open to the attaching element (3), wherein the inner chamber (46) is designed as a blind hole and at least one spring element (20-23) is disposed between the floor (47) and the free end of the rod (2). According to the invention, the attaching sleeve (4) thereby comprises an attaching segment (14) forming the end opposite the attaching element (3) and substantially lying completely within the first tube segment (11, 44), and an exposed region (16) facing the attaching element (3) and protruding past the free end of the first tube segment (11, 44). At least one guide element (7, 8) is also disposed in said exposed region (16) and both bounds the axial movability of the attaching sleeve (4) and attaching element (3) in the axial direction and substantially prevents the relative rotation of said two elements, and the rod (2) is further made of a plastic material at least in the region engaging with the attaching sleeve (4).
