Hand paddle

Abstract

A hand paddle (1) for a float (13) is described, having a grip part (6) and a paddle blade (2) which comprises a blade shoulder (3) and a blade edge (4) that is located opposite the blade shoulder (3) in the longitudinal direction of the paddle blade (2). In order to enable easy manufacture, flexible use possibilities, and use in a way that saves effort by the user, it is proposed that the paddle blade (2) forms the grip part (6) which is bounded by a grip cutout (5) that extends from the blade shoulder (3) in the longitudinal direction of the paddle blade (2).

1 . A hand paddle for a float, said hand paddle comprising:
 a paddle blade that comprises a blade shoulder and a blade edge that is located opposite the blade shoulder in a longitudinal direction of the paddle blade,   wherein the paddle blade has a grip part that is bounded by a grip cutout that extends from the blade shoulder in the longitudinal direction of the paddle blade.   
     
     
         2 . The hand paddle according to  claim 1 , wherein an edge of the grip cutout that is located opposite the grip part forms a clip that is pivotable outward with respect to the blade shoulder and that is connected to the blade shoulder via a releasable closure. 
     
     
         3 . The hand paddle according to  claim 2 , wherein the closure is formed by a latching hook that cooperates with a latching cutout. 
     
     
         4 . The hand paddle according to  claim 1 , wherein the grip part comprises a grip base that is formed in one piece with the paddle blade and bounds the grip cutout, and a closure part which is integrally formed on the clip, engages around the grip base and forms an edge of the paddle blade. 
     
     
         5 . The hand paddle according to  claims 2 , wherein the edge of the paddle blade that is located opposite the grip cutout is curved inward in a concave manner in a region of the grip part. 
     
     
         6 . The hand paddle according to  claim 1 , wherein the grip part is connected with a grip part of a second hand paddle via a connecting line. 
     
     
         7 . The hand paddle according to  claim 6 , wherein the connecting line forms annular bodies that are spaced apart from one another and are distributed in the longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         8 . An article comprising a float and two hand paddles each to  claim 2 , wherein each of said hand paddles is rotatably articulated to the float on a respective one of two opposite sides thereof. 
     
     
         9 . The float according to  claim 8 , wherein each hand paddle is articulated to a respective handle of the float, the handles each forming a respective pivot axle extending transversely to a main surface of the float. 
     
     
         10 . The hand paddle according to  claim 3 , wherein the edge of the paddle blade-that is located opposite the grip cutout is curved inward in a concave manner in a region of the grip part. 
     
     
         11 . The hand paddle according to  claim 4 , wherein the edge of the paddle blade-that is located opposite the grip cutout is curved inward in a concave manner in a region of the grip part. 
     
     
         12 . The hand paddle according to  claim 2 , wherein the grip part is connected with a grip part of a second hand paddle via a connecting line. 
     
     
         13 . The hand paddle according to  claim 12 , wherein the connecting line forms annular bodies that are spaced apart from one another and are distributed in the longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         14 . The hand paddle according to  claim 3 , wherein the grip part is connected with a grip part of a second hand paddle via a connecting line. 
     
     
         15 . The hand paddle according to  claim 14 , wherein the connecting line forms annular bodies that are spaced apart from one another and are distributed in the longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         16 . The hand paddle according to  claim 4 , wherein the grip part is connected with a grip part of a second hand paddle via a connecting line. 
     
     
         17 . The hand paddle according to  claim 16 , wherein the connecting line forms annular bodies that are spaced apart from one another and are distributed in the longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         18 . The hand paddle according to  claim 5 , wherein the grip part is connected with a grip part of a second hand paddle via a connecting line. 
     
     
         19 . The hand paddle according to  claim 18 , wherein the connecting line forms annular bodies that are spaced apart from one another and are distributed in the longitudinal direction.
