## Abstract

A device for the coupling between a glove or other covering element of a user's hand and a pole for sportive practice includes a first magnetic coupling element associated or associable with the pole and a second magnetic coupling element associated or associable with the glove or with the other covering element. The first element is arranged at the handle of the pole, and the second element is arranged in such a way as to be positioned at the palm of the user's hand corresponding to an area between the thumb and index finger.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for coupling a glove or other covering element of a user's hand with a pole for sportive practice, comprising:
at least one first magnetic coupling element associated or associable with said pole close to the upper end of said pole,
at least one second magnetic coupling element associated or associable with said glove or with said other covering element,
wherein at least one of said first and second magnetic coupling elements is a permanent magnet,
said first element arranged at the handle of said pole, and
said second element positioned at the palm of the user's hand corresponding to an area between the thumb and the index finger.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein the coupling between said glove or said other covering element of the user's hand and said pole is provided only because of a magnetic force between said first element and said second element, without the aid of additional elements.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said first element and said second element are both permanent magnets.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein either said first element or said second element is formed of non-magnetized ferromagnetic material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said first element is carried by a strap, which is applicable around the handle of said pole.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said first element is integrated into the handle of said pole.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said second element is carried by a strap or a sheath fitted over said glove.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said second element is carried by a hand-covering sheath, which can be directly worn on the user's hand.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said second element is integrated directly into said glove.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein the two magnetic coupling elements have flat front surfaces arranged for mutual contact.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein a third coupling element is associated with each ski of a user so that said first element can be coupled with said third element.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said first element is integrated within the handle and is arranged close to the outer surface of the handle that is gripped by the user, so as to produce the magnetic coupling between said glove or other covering element of the user's hand and said pole.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

A device according to claim 12, wherein the handle has a grooved portion having a vertical wall with a substantially flat surface and a horizontal wall substantially arranged at 90° with respect to said vertical wall, said first element being integrated within the handle of the pole adjacent to said grooved portion.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein the handle has a grooved portion having a vertical wall with a substantially flat surface and a horizontal wall substantially arranged at 90° with respect to said vertical wall, said first element being arranged on the outer surface of said handle adjacent to said vertical wall.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 wherein the pole comprises a ski pole.
