Abstract (en)
The present invention relates in one aspect to a handle for a manually operated device. The device comprises a shaft adapted for carrying the handle, the shaft defining a longitudinal direction of the device, the handle facilitating a user to connect to the device with two hands in order to transfer forces to the device during a power transfer phase of operating the device. During operation of the device a front side of the handle faces away from a user operating the device, and a rear side of the handle faces towards the user. The handle comprises a first grip having a first cross-sectional shape as seen in a transverse plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, wherein the first cross-sectional shape is substantially circular at least at the rear side of the handle. The handle further comprises a second grip having a second cross-sectional shape different from the first cross-sectional shape as seen in a transverse plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, wherein the second cross-sectional shape comprises a rear side protrusion at the rear side of the handle. The rear side protrusion is adapted for receiving a palm portion of the hand of the user. In a further aspect a device comprising such a handle is provided. In a particular aspect the device is a sports or training equipment, such as a sweep rowing oar or a kayak paddle. In a yet further particular aspect, the device is a hand tool.
