Patent ID: 8800580

Claim:
A pole having a pole body, at the lower end of which a buffer with a tip is provided, wherein the tip and/or a lowermost portion of an inner sleeve, the inner sleeve being secured to the pole body, is arranged passing through a central opening of the buffer, wherein the buffer is mounted so that it can be moved and secured in an axial direction to the pole body in this central opening, and wherein the buffer can be secured in at least two axially different positions in relation to the pole body or the inner sleeve via a form-fit connection, wherein the buffer comprises an outer sleeve engaging around and mounted axially movably on the inner sleeve, on an outside of which outer sleeve a latching lever is articulated, wherein the latching lever, at its lower end directed towards a rolling surface at a lower end of the buffer, is articulated on the outer sleeve and, at its upper end in the secured position of the buffer, engages around the pole body and/or the inner sleeve at least partially with a form fit and can be released by being pivoted away from the outer sleeve, and wherein the outer sleeve comprises a buffer attachment at a lower end thereof, which can be detachably secured to the outer sleeve, with the aid of a securing pin running transversely to a pole axis, which at the same time serves as an anti-turn device for the displacement of the outer sleeve on the inner sleeve, wherein the securing pin is a guide pin engaging in a guide recess of the inner sleeve which is offset the pole axis to allow an axial displacement but not twisting of the outer sleeve relative to the inner sleeve about the pole axis.
