Benefits of technology
[0012]The invention relates to the hand strap of a pole, preferably of a walking, a ski, a hiking or a downhill skiing pole which is designed to be fitted to the user's hand and by means of which the user's power can be transmitted to the pole. The hand strap in accordance with the invention includes a strap part surrounding the user's wrist and extending to the bottom edge of a hand and to the palm, and a fastening strap attached to the strap part which can be used to fasten the hand strap to the handle of the pole. According to the invention, the hand strap includes just one fastening strap which functions as a power transmission strap; and the first end of the fastening strap is fastened to the part situated on the side of the palm of the strap part along the desired length; and the part of the fastening strap to be attached to the handle of the pole is fitted to start substantially from the middle section of the user's hand or from the middle. The power transmission strap is arranged to run along an optimal line on the palm side, enabling straight-lined movement of the pole, thus enabling optimal pull and push movements of the pole.
Problems solved by technology
A problem with the prior-art hand straps is their usability.
The hand is tied to a hand strap and you cannot easily and fast free your hand e.g. to fix your clothing.
A further problem with the prior-art hand strap systems is the too tight a fastening of the hand to the handle of the pole.
This increases the risk of injury e.g. when toppling over when the hand is tied by the strap too much, and one cannot free the hand fast enough.
Furthermore, a part of the prior-art hand straps loads the hand unnecessarily in relation to the achieved power transmission.
