Abstract
A pole grip (1), particularly for walking sticks, trekking poles, alpine ski poles, cross-country ski poles and Nordic walking poles, comprising a grip body (3) and a hooking device (14) for attaching a hand-retaining device particularly provided in the form of a hand strap or a glove. Latching structure (6, 11) is placed in the area of the hook-like device (14) in such a manner that a strap-shaped, ring-shaped or eyelet-shaped device (33), which is inserted from above into the hooking device (14)and which is provided on a hand-retaining device, is fixed in the hooking device (14) in a self-latching manner. This simple and self-latching mechanism enormously simplifies use and is preferably combined with a safety release in the event of a heavy load acting in the opening direction of the hooking device.
