Abstract
An adjustable ski pole having a clamping mechanism for locking the pole in a desirable position. An outer shaft telescopically receives an inner shaft which is engaged by a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a housing having a first portion attached to the outer shaft and a split portion defining a longitudinal gap. A circumferential slot separates the split portion from the first portion along about half the circumference. The split portion has a first lug on one side of the gap and a second lug on the other side. A lever is pivotably connected to the first lug. A link is pivotably connected to the lever to define an off-center linkage. A pivot rod engages the second lug, and a threaded connector adjustably connects the link to the rod. When the lever is pivoted from the release position to the clamping position, the gap width is reduced.
