Patent ID: 7770931

Claim:
A pole grip for at least one of cross-country ski poles, downhill ski poles and Nordic walking poles, having a hand-retaining device, such as a hand strap or glove, which can be fastened in a releasable manner to the pole grip via a coupling element secured on the hand retaining device, the pole grip having a top end as well as a bottom end, on or in which a pole shaft can be fastened or is fastened, wherein provided on or in the pole grip is a retaining element which has at least two lateral grooves which are open essentially in opposite lateral directions and, at least in certain regions, run essentially from top to bottom in relation to the pole grip, wherein the coupling element, for fastening on the retaining element, has two corresponding protrusions engaging laterally in said lateral grooves, wherein the coupling element can be latched in a releasable manner on the retaining element, wherein the at least two lateral grooves of the retaining element, as seen in their running direction, are open in an upward directed end, such that the coupling element can be pushed into said lateral grooves from above at said upward directed end, and wherein the at least two lateral grooves of the retaining element, as seen in their running direction, are closed at a bottom end, in which case, once a coupling element has been pushed into a lateral groove, the coupling element stops at a stop position against said bottom end, said stop position defining a state in which the coupling element is fastened on the retaining element for use, wherein the coupling element is designed in the form of a clamp or a clip which has a recess in the form of a longitudinal through-opening, the through-opening being open, along the running direction, toward the side directed toward the retaining element, so as to form two lateral protrusions adapted to and for interlocking with the grooves on the pole grip, and wherein the length of the coupling element in the running direction of the grooves is smaller than the length of the grooves.
