Abstract
A stick handle is described, in particular for a ski stick, cross-country skiing stick, hiking stick or Nordic walking stick, with a handle body (10, 11), the head region (3) of which has, on the side (4) directed forwards in the direction of movement and/or on the side (5) directed rearwards in the direction of movement, an upper terminating projection (8, 12) which, when the stick is grasped, is arranged above the sliding hand and adjacent thereto, and which has, at least on the side (5) directed rearwards, a lower terminating projection (13) which, when the stick is grasped, is arranged below the grasping hand and adjacent thereto. With a handle of this type, adaptation to different hand sizes is made possible by the handle body being constructed from at least two individual stick handle elements (10, 11), wherein a first stick handle element (11) is connected in a form-fitting and/or frictional manner to the stick tube (1), and a second stick handle element (10) is arranged on the first stick handle element (11) in a manner such that it can be fixed in a displaceable and/or exchangeable manner.
