    Electronic walking stick OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention belongs to the sport sector, and more specifically to articles and specific accessories for each sport modality, in particular hiking and / or mountaineering poles.
    The object of the present invention is an electronic walking stick, which in addition to constituting a support and facilitating the exercise of walking, allows electric power to be generated autonomously from wind power or hydraulic energy, for storage in an internal battery , being especially useful for medium / long-haul routes where the electrical supply of different electronic devices, such as mobile phones, global positioning devices (GPS), radiotelephones (“walkie talkie”), cameras, etc. is essential. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Nowadays, mountain sports have become a sporting activity that has more and more followers. Hiking, because it is a specialized sport, requires a team that minimizes the possibility of suffering injuries and allows a more complete exercise, also exercising the arms and chest. The "sticks" or walking sticks are an important complement for the athlete as they provide great advantages in the practice of this activity.
    On the other hand, every day there are more devices and technological devices that reach the market aimed at improving and increasing the experience of sports such as video cameras, GPS, mp3, etc., which require an electrical supply to its operation, usually through a rechargeable battery.
    More particularly, the practice of outdoor sports such as hiking, mountaineering, cross-country skiing, skiing, etc., makes athletes often suffer accidents or injuries that impede their mobility, in which case employment is essential of GPS locators, electronic compasses and other electronic devices, in order to orient, ask for help and locate the nearest point of assistance or shelter.
    Thus, the technical problem that arises here lies in the serious inconvenience and danger that the exhaustion of the batteries of the supporting electronic devices during these outdoor sports practices may entail at a certain moment, where the absence of electricity supply can reach have fatal consequences, and where in the worst case, the first 48-72 hours become vital to be able to locate with life, help and save potential hikers or mountaineers injured or lost.
    They are known in the current state of the art, mountain or hiking poles that incorporate different temperature, height, humidity, compass, etc. sensors in their grip, to inform the user at all times, see for example the Spanish utility model ES1046461U. There are also other cane solutions that incorporate internal chambers or tanks for the accommodation of different items inside, from multipurpose knives to food products that allow the athlete to provide caloric intake, such as nuts, chocolate, etc., such as describes the utility model ES1056790U. However, none of these canes allows the generation of electrical energy, much less by taking advantage of clean and renewable energy sources, such as wind or water. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    By means of the present invention, the aforementioned technical problem is solved by providing a double-function electronic walking stick, which in addition to acting as a support and a conventional cane for sports, also allows its operation as an electricity generator from energy sources primary, renewable and ecological, such as wind energy and hydraulic energy. The electronic cane object of the invention is of special application and utility for routes or paths of medium / long distance where it is essential to maintain a minimum electrical supply to power different electronic devices, such as mobile phones, global positioning locator devices (GPS ), radiotelephones (“walkie talkie”), cameras, etc., thus avoiding being isolated and lost.
    The electronic baton of the invention comprises a handle provided with a handle intended to be grasped by the user's hand; an elongated central tube and a pointed element coupled to the lower end of the central tube for interlocking on firm ground, whether dry ground or the subsoil of a river, beach or the like.
    In addition, the handle comprises at least one enveloping body that surrounds the handle laterally, leaving at least sufficient free access for insertion of a user's hand; where the handle assembly formed by handle and wrapping body is rotatable on the imaginary axial axis of the handle from a wind or hydraulic force applied by wind or water on said wrapping body. At this point it should be noted that the enveloping body preferably has a wavy configuration, presenting a widening in its central part and two narrowings in its upper and lower ends respectively. This allows more efficient use of wind or hydraulic energy applied to said housing, thus obtaining a greater torque.
    For its part, the central tube, preferably formed by a plurality of telescopic tubes, houses inside an electric generator, a junction box and a battery, where the generator has a rotating shaft inserted at a lower end of the handle. In this way, the rotational movement of the entire handle assembly, formed by handle and body, causes the solidarity rotation of the generator shaft, and with it the generation of electrical energy, which is stored in the battery through the connections Box.
    Further preferably, the wrapping body has at least one pair of internal propellers disposed in a plane perpendicular to the imaginary axial axis of the handle, such that said propellers constitute the connecting element between the handle and the inner surface of the at least one wrapping body. These propellers allow you to add your effort and aerodynamics to obtain a greater torque of the grip, and thereby increase the amount of final electrical energy produced.
    Furthermore, according to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the electronic baton described herein may additionally comprise a fixing device coupled to the elongated central tube, wherein said fixing device is collapsible between a folding position of non-use thereof, and a deployment position capable of performing a double function: on the one hand, favoring the cane interlocking process on firm ground; and on the other hand make possible its assembly, installation and / or coupling to any other external tube, bar or stick, be it the central tube of another electronic cane, the handlebar of a bicycle, the structural support of a tent, etc. ., thus facilitating the generation of energy both in displacements and in stops and camping.
    At this point it should be noted that the places where this type of outdoor sports are generally practiced: hiking, mountaineering or camping, there are strong air currents, as well as rapid water flows in mountain rivers, very favorable for the use of the cane electronic described here, taking advantage of these ecological energies (wind and hydraulic) to generate electricity.
    Likewise, it should be noted that although in previous paragraphs there has been talk of the hiking or mountaineering modality, the electronic baton of the present invention is equally applicable to poles of other sports modalities, such as cross-country skiing, skiing or the like. Here are some of the main advantages provided by the electronic baton of the invention:
    - Contribution of electricity supply to the hiker, using ecological energy (wind and hydraulic) from wind and water. -Storage of the electrical energy generated in a battery incorporated in the stick itself, allowing its subsequent use from a USB communication port. -Increased safety in the practice of outdoor sports, in natural environments away from urban environments and demographic concentrations. -Ability to be used as an electric generator, both in displacements
    as in periods of stopping or camping.-Valid for a plurality of sports, such as hiking, mountaineering, skiingbottom, ski, etc. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

    An example of a preferred embodiment is described below with reference to the aforementioned figures, without limiting or reducing the scope of protection of the present invention.
    Figure 1A shows an athlete using a pair of electronic sticks
    (one)  of hiking object of invention, said electronic stick (1) comprising:
    - a handle (10), shown more clearly in Figures 2A, 2B and 3, and which in the present embodiment has an ergonomic handle (11); a pair of enveloping bodies (12) that surround the handle (11) laterally, that is, in a quasi-parallel way to the vertical plane of the handle (11), defining a pair of free lateral accesses (A) sufficient for the insertion of the a user's hand; and a pair of internal propellers (13), shown in Figures 2C and 2D, arranged in a plane perpendicular to the imaginary axial axis of the handle (11), such that said propellers (13) join the handle (11) with the internal surface of said wrapping bodies (12), as shown in Figure 3; where the handle assembly (10) formed by handle (11), enveloping bodies (12) and propellers (13) has the ability to turn simultaneously on the imaginary axial axis of the handle (11) from a wind force
    or hydraulics applied by wind or water on said enveloping bodies (12);
    - an elongated central tube (20), shown in Figures 1A-1C, constituted in this example by a plurality of telescopic tubes (22), and which houses an electric generator (23) inside, a junction box (24) and a preferably rechargeable battery (25), shown in Figure 4B, where the generator (23) has a rotating shaft (23A) for insertion into a lower end of the handle (11);
    - a pointed element (30) coupled at the lower end of the central tube (20) for interlocking in firm ground (S), either on dry ground or submerged in the water of a river (R), beach or similar, see figures 1B and 1C respectively; Y
    - a fixing device (40) coupled to the elongated central tube (20), said fixing device (40) being foldable between a folding position of non-use thereof, see figures 1A-1C, and a deployment position shown in Figures 7A-7C and 8, which allows its assembly, installation and / or coupling to any other tube, bar or external stick, either the central tube (20) of another electronic stick (1), the handlebar (M) of a bicycle or the structural support (T1) of a tent (T), as shown respectively in Figures 7A-7C, which makes possible the generation of electric energy both in displacements and in stops and / or camping. However, another utility of this fixing device (40) is to favor the user with the interlocking process of the electronic cane (1), as a corkscrew, the fixing device (40) acting as a lever to help nail and insert the pointed element (30) on the floor
    or desired terrain.
    In this way, the rotational movement of the handle (10) is transmitted to the shaft (23A) of the generator (23), causing the rotation of said shaft (23A) and consequently producing electrical energy, which is stored in the battery (25) through the junction box (24). In this regard, the possibility that the handle (11) has an axial hole (14), shown in Figures 2B and 3, in which the shaft (23A) of the generator (23A) of the generator ( 23) electric, thus favoring an optimal transmission of the turning movement between handle (10) and shaft (23A) of the generator (23), without possible exits, clearances or unwanted movements of the shaft (23A).
    In addition, the central tube (20) has fixing means (21) of the handle (10), shown in Figures 3A and 3B, so that the user has absolute control over the rotation or blocking of said handle (10 ), depending on whether the operation of the electronic baton (1) is desired as a conventional support stick, or as an electric generator. Thus, according to this preferred embodiment, said fixing means (21) comprise a tightening nut, movable vertically for blocking or releasing the rotation of the handle (10). However, said fixing means (21) could consist of any other means of immobilization of the handle (10).
    Therefore, in a first state of sports practice, in particular during a hiking or mountaineering march, figure 1A, the handle (10) is locked in a stable position through said fixing means (21), without any possibility of turning , in order to guarantee the safety and the perfect grip of the handle (11) of the handle (10) by the user. In this case, the clamping nut (21) would be moved towards the top of the handle (10), as shown in Figure 3B.
    On the other hand, for those moments of rest, camping or overnight, see figures 1B, 1C and 7C, where the electronic baton (1) is no longer used for its original purpose of constituting a secure support, the user can proceed to activate the fixing means
    (21) of the central tube (20) to allow free rotation of the handle (10), in particular, by unscrewing the clamping nut (21) for its vertical downward movement, as can be seen in Figure 3A .
    With respect to the propellers (13) of the handle (10), it is provided that they are attached to the handle (11) by the upper and lower ends of the latter, as shown in Figures 2B and 3, thus avoiding impeding free access (A) for the insertion of the user's hand. Preferably, the handle assembly (10) formed by the handle (11), the wrapping bodies (12) and the propellers (13) constitute a single structural element, of the same material, and obtained by an injection overmolding process, with the consequent cost-effective benefits of it.
    More specifically, according to the preferred embodiment shown in Figures 2C and 2D, the propellers (13) comprise a pair of asymmetric blades (13A, 13B) of flat section, with curved and aerodynamic edges, and having hollow holes (H) on its surface and some recesses (E) on its lateral edges. This particularity of the hollow recesses (H) and the recesses (E) of the blades (13A, 13B) is not trivial or random, but rather has a double function: on the one hand, lighten its weight and favor easy handling of the handle (10); and on the other hand, to constitute an aero / hydro-dynamic element that allows to help the rotational movement of the handle (10) from the force of the wind / water received from the outside, as shown in figures 1B and 1C .
    In relation to the previous paragraph, and in order to maximize energy use and efficiency, it is expected that the enveloping bodies (12) have a wavy configuration, presenting a widening in its central part and narrowing at its upper and lower ends, as It is reflected in Figures 1B, 1C, 2A and 3.
    On the other hand, entering to explain in more detail the junction box (24), shown in figures 5 and 6, this presents in this example of embodiment: a universal USB serial port (24A) to allow connection, recharge and supply electrical of other external electronic devices, such as mobile phones, global positioning devices (GPS), radiotelephones (“walkie talkie”), and that in case of accidents or disorientation of hikers in the middle of the mountain, it can be an essential route and fundamental location for assistance by rescue and rescue teams; at least one LED indicator light (24B) for displaying the state of charge of the battery (25); and connection terminals (24C) for the electrical communication of the electric generator (23), the battery (25), the USB port (24A) and the LED indicator light (24B).
    On the other hand, in figure 8 a detailed view of the fixing device (40) can be seen, in an unfolded position, and which according to the present embodiment, has a plurality of through grooves (41H), in which they are installable and / or attachable any other external tube, bar or stick (20, M, T1), thus making it possible to transport, move or install the electronic baton (1) in an ideal position for greater wind energy use, such as shown in figure 7C where its installation is observed in an elevated position of a tent (T),
    thus increasing the power generation capacity of the electronic baton (1).
    With respect to the pointed element (30) for the interlocking of the electronic baton (1) on firm ground (S), whether dry ground or subsoil of a river (R), it is foreseen that it
    5 have a helical outer thread (31), shown in figures 1B and 1C, which facilitates the task of inserting it. In addition, the possibility has been contemplated that said pointed element (30) may have a circular ring (32), shown in Figure 7B, which projects outwards and acts as a stop element to limit the interlocking in the floor (S) of said pointed element (30).
    10 Finally, indicate that, although it has not been represented in the figures, it is provided that the internal electronic components of the central tube (20), such as: the electric generator (23), the junction box (24) and the battery (25) are equipped with sealing means that allow them to be adequately insulated and protected against the
    15 water passage, this being of special interest and utility for the use of the electronic baton (1) as a hydraulic generator, where the latter is completely submerged in the water of a river (R), beach or similar, as shown in the figure 1 C.
