Abstract
The present disclosure presents a multi-purpose pole grip design in a generally conical shape to resist a user's hand from sliding off it while under axial loading. The present disclosure provides a more ergonomic and comfortable handle that requires less grip strength thus making it a prime design for poles used in sports like skiing and hiking and general walking sticks, including canes.

An anti-fatigue grip comprising:
- a core portion being configured to receive a terminal end of a pole, the core portion having a cylindrically shaped interior portion with sidewalls defining a channel extending from an upper end to a lower end of the core portion, and a lateral portion increasing in diameter from the upper end to the lower end of the core portion at an angle in the range of about 10 degrees to about 25 degrees, the lateral portion defining a conical shape, the core portion further comprising an interior structure having at least one non-deformable rib extending horizontally from the interior portion to the lateral portion to define a cavity, the lateral portion further comprising a grip stop portion extending from the upper end of the core portion;
- and,
- a grip portion disposed on a surface of the lateral portion of the core portion, a circumference of the grip portion adjacent to the lower end of the core portion defining a terminal surface of the anti-fatigue grip.
An anti-fatigue grip comprising:
- a core portion being configured to receive a terminal end of a pole, the core portion being made of a non-deformable material and having a cylindrically shaped interior portion and a grip stop portion, the cylindrically shaped interior portion having sidewalls defining a channel extending from an upper end to a lower end of the core portion, the grip stop portion extending from an upper end of the cylindrically shaped interior portion;
- a grip portion coupled to the core portion and increasing in diameter from a top end adjacent to the grip stop portion to a bottom end at an angle in the range of about 10 degrees to about 25 degrees, the grip portion defining a conical shape, a circumference of the grip portion at the bottom end defining a terminal surface of the anti-fatigue grip;
- and,
- a strap coupled to the grip stop portion.
