(54)	Device for coupling and releasing the wrist strap to/from the handgrip of a pole for sporting activities.

(57) The invention is a device (1) for coupling and releasing the wrist strap (2) to/from the handgrip (3) of a pole (4) for sporting activities, comprising: a buckle (5) associated with the wrist strap (2); a seat (6) obtained in the handgrip (3) to house the buckle (5); means (7) for coupling the buckle (5) comprising an elastic tab (8) that projects from the body (9) of the buckle (5) and a support surface (10) obtained in the seat (6) that cooperate by mutual contact when the buckle (5) is constrained to the handgrip (3); means (11) for releasing the buckle (5) that can be manoeuvred by the user. The releasing means (11) comprise a release lever (12) that can be manoeuvred by the user and is housed inside the seat (6), wherein in said release lever (12) it is possible to identify a central core (13) with a rotation pin (14), a manoeuvring end (15) that can be reached by the user and a release end (16) that cooperates by contact with the elastic tab (8) to move it away from the support surface (10).
