• the loop band 8 emerges from the grip body as a protruding loop strap 22, forms the hand loop which wraps around the hand, and the other end, as a loop strap 11, again enters the recess 4 of the grip body 3. If it is not a circumferential wrist strap but a glove with corresponding tape means, so it is analogous to the loop tape 11 to the second band portion, which is attached to the glove.

Accordingly, the length of the hand strap 7 can be adjusted in this position, in other words, the hand strap can be reduced by pulling on the free end 10, or be extended by pulling on the entering into the handle body loop tape 11. In addition, the length of the hand strap can be increased in upward position of the hand strap in any case, which automatically gives a security in falls.
