- the coupling element is particularly preferably made of a cable or strap or a flexible plastic cord with inherent rigidity. Also possible is the use of preferably at least partially inherently rigid, possibly provided with a sheath plastic fibers, which are particularly low-expansion (eg Dyneema ® ).
- the clamping element (and / or the pole grip) consists at least partially of injected plastic. Further preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
- Figure 1 a shows a section through a pole grip with the clamping element is shown in the locking position
- Figure 1 b a section through a pole grip according to Figure 1, wherein the
- Clamping element is shown in the insertion position, and c) the detailed detail Z shown in Figure Ib) in a fivefold magnification;
- FIG 2 a a stick handle according to a further embodiment, wherein a latching means is shown, which is acted upon by a spring, and b) the detail cutout Z shown in Figure 2a);
- FIG. 3 a) a section through a further embodiment in the insertion position and b) a plan view along the arrow in Figure 3a);
- FIG. 6 shows a hand holding device with a loop between thumb and forefinger.
- FIG. 1 shows a pole grip 1 and a pole tube 2, which is embedded in a recess 6 of the pole grip 1 and fastened to the pole grip 1.
- the pole grip is, for example, made of plastic and has an ergonomic design ofêtfikiee.
- the axis 21 of the pole pipe is slightly inclined from the axis 22 of the pole grip, but this is also possible otherwise.
- the pole grip In its head region 5, the pole grip has a recess 7 which is open at the top at least upwards towards the hand side 4.
- a clamping element 8 is recessed pivotably in this recess 7.
- the clamping element has at least two different positions. The first position, the so-called insertion position A, is shown in FIG. 1a), and the second position, the so-called locking position B, is shown in FIG. 1b).
