Abstract

The present invention relates to a hiking stick, which enables the lengths of multi-stage support pipes to be quickly and simply adjusted by a simple touch and elastically supports the weight of a user when walking with the stick. The present invention provides a hiking stick (10) in which support pipes (11, 12, 13) having different diameters are combined such that the lengths of the support pipes are adjusted by adjusting means (30) and a handle (20) and a support (40) are combined to the support pipes (11, 12, 13), wherein the adjusting means (30) are configured such that: a fixing pipe (31) is coupled to the lower part of the first support pipe (11), and an operating pipe (32) is elastically supported by a spring (33) in connection with the fixing pipe (31); the second support pipe (12) having locking grooves (12a) formed on the outer surface thereof is elevated by being inserted into the first support pipe (11); a connection hole (31b) that penetrates the side of the fixing pipe (31) is perforated such that a stopper ball (31a) is inserted thereinto; when the ball (31a) is pressed on the inner diameter of the operating pipe (32), the ball (31a) is locked in the locking grooves (12a) of the second support pipe (12) whereby the second support pipe (12) is fixed to the first support pipe (11); when the operating pipe (32) is raised and the ball (31a) is located in a wide extensive groove (32a) of the operating pipe (32), the ball (31a) is separated from the locking grooves (12a) of the second support pipe (12) whereby the second support pipe (12) is elevated in the first support pipe (11); and a snap ring (34) is coupled to the fixing pipe (31), thereby preventing the separation of the operating pipe (32).
