Definitions

• the present invention relates to a hand strap for a stick, particularly preferably for a ski pole, a Nordic walking pole, a cross-country pole or a walking stick.
• hand loops which are an opening for the hand, a first outlet opening for the back of the hand resp. the fingers and a second outlet opening for the thumb, wherein the attachment of the wrist strap to a stick handle of the stick is at least indirectly via a guided between the thumb and the other fingers strips, and wherein the hand strap normally in the range between Huaweisöffhung for the hand and the first outlet opening has a variably fixable first fastening device for the back of the hand.
• Sporting activities with the help of sticks are becoming increasingly popular. For example, skiing, cross-country skiing, hiking and more recently especially the so-called Nordic Walking.
• sticks have been developed in which the hand strap can be releasably attached to the pole grip.
• the hand straps which are firmly attached to the hand or on the wrist, and which can be released from the stick for a short time, if only a brief interruption of the sporting activity is desired.
• the hand straps used have been developed further, for example, as mentioned in the introduction, by attaching such hand straps today, for example via a Velcro on the hand, and, to disturb as little as possible in the sporting activity, very slim or Alternatively, are designed as a whole glove.
• the US 5,110,154 discloses a ski glove with a band for attaching the glove to the ski pole, wherein a diagonal strap, which has a fastening device for the ski pole, with its free end on the glove back fastened.
• DE 9401 287 U1 discloses a wrist strap for a ski pole, wherein the hand strap has a band which closely surrounds the wrist. A separate, attachable to the hand strap drawstring provides an additional connection between the hand strap and pole handle.
• DE 297 01 662 Ul describes a secured with a stick handle hand strap, which has a releasably connectable with pushbuttons with the hand strap tension element.
• the invention is therefore inter alia the object of providing an improved hand strap for a stick available.
• it is about the improvement of a wrist strap, which is not only laid loosely around the hand or the wrist, but which is firmly connected to the hand.
• the hand strap has an insertion opening for the hand, a first Austrittsöfmung for the back of the hand and a second exit opening for the thumb.
• the attachment of the wrist strap is carried out on a stick handle of the stick at least indirectly via a guided between the thumb and the other fingers strips, and the hand strap has in the area betweenchipsöfmung for the hand and first Austrittsöfmung for the back of a variably fixable first fastening device.
• a solution to this problem is achieved in that the hand strap in the area between the introduction opening for the hand and the second outlet opening for the thumb is variably formed.
• the hand strap is designed not only in the area between the insertion opening for the hand and the first outlet opening for the back of the hand but also in the area between the insertion opening for the hand and the second outlet opening for the thumb.
• the wrist strap is preferably made of a substantially non-stretchable material (e.g., plastic web support or the like), i. it is preferably not a wrist strap (made of neoprene, for example) that is designed to be completely stretchy, since for sports applications it normally does not permit sufficient power transmission. If, nevertheless, the hand strap is designed to be stretch-soft, the two regions are not only variable but can be fixed in variability, e.g.
• the loop may also be designed so that it is designed as a whole stretch soft, (for example, neoprene), but has an integral reinforcement, for example in the form of externally sewn especially in the direction of pull tapes or strips of a substantially non-stretchable material.
• a hand strap can be optimally adapted to different hands only when both areas, ie in the area between the guide opening for the hand and the first exit opening for the back of the hand and in the area between the insertion opening for the hand and the second outlet opening is designed variable for the thumb.

• hand straps are not only used with bare hands, but also with gloves that require a larger fit of the loop. This is not possible or only to a very limited extent in the case of hand-fixable hand loops according to the prior art.
• the hand strap proposed according to the invention allows adaptation for use with or without gloves.
• the proposed hand strap is thus much more flexible both in terms of adaptation to different hand sizes and hand shapes as well as in relation to the use with or without gloves, respectively, for use with different gloves.
• the area between the insertion opening for the hand and the second outlet opening for the thumb is at least partially (rubber) elastic. It may, but need not, be fixable in its maximum extent. It can be configured to be fixable, for example, in that the region between the introduction opening for the hand and the second outlet opening for the thumb has a second fixing device which can be variably defined. Fixable can on the one hand mean that, for example, in the presence of an additional rubber-elastic range, only the maximum extent of this range is limited, on the other hand can also mean that this area is inflexible.
