Description

The present invention relates to a holding handle intended to be positioned at the front part of a wishbone.

During transitions, in windsurfing, the user maintains the rigging under the wishbone, the hand placed on the mast. This precarious maintenance of the rigging causes many falls.

The grab handle according to the invention overcomes this drawback. According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises an upper part, consisting either of a mast protection, or of a handle protection before the wishbone or else of a location provided on the front part of a wishbone.

The central part of this accessory consists of a vertical handle located at the front of the wishbone handle.

The lower part is fixed to the mast under the wishbone. During transitions (Jibes), the user grasps this additional vertical handle, in place of the mast. Maintaining the rig is easier and the pivot is easier (advanced axis of rotation).

According to particular embodiments - The upper part of the holding handle may be constituted by a mast protection located under the automatic handle of the wishbone.

- The upper part of the holding handle can be made of an automatic wishbone handle protection.

- The upper part of the grab handle can be fixed directly on the wishbone.

- The lower part of the handle can be fixed to the mast by a strap lined with a scratch.

In general, the elements described above can be replaced by similar elements having the same function and allowing the same result to be obtained. Likewise, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown and numerous changes and modifications can be made to them without departing from the scope of the invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. FIG. 1 represents the handle according to the invention, the upper part of which consists of a mast protection traditionally situated between the mast and the automatic wishbone handle.

FIG. 2 shows the handle, the upper part of which is made up of a traditional automatic wishbone handle protection.

Figure 3 shows a side view of the handle according to the invention fixed directly on the front handle of a wishbone.

With reference to these drawings, the upper part of the handle (4) in FIG. 1 is made up of a mast protection (2) (5) which is positioned on the mast (1) and under the automatic handle (3) of the wishbone. .

The lower part has a strap (6) (lined with a scratch) which surrounds the mast (1) and fixes the handle (4).

Figure 2 shows the holding handle (4) formed in its upper part of a traditional protection (7) of automatic handle (3) of wishbone. The central handle (4) and the lower part (6) remain unchanged from FIG. 1.

Figure 3 shows the central handle (4) whose upper part consists of a nut (8) screwing into a bolt (10) integrated in the automatic handle (3) of a wishbone. This fixing makes it possible to make the lower part (9) of the handle optional.
