Extension control handle for a portable grip device

A detachable control handle of an extended lift system configured for secure attachment with an interface of a portable grip device having a primary axis, the interface including a pair of spaced apart opposing connector tabs oriented parallel with the primary axis and extending from a rigid frame of the portable grip device, each connector tab having an offset retention surface on an inboard side forming a parallel captivation channel having a channel width, P1, in a direction perpendicular to the primary axis, each connector tab defining a connection opening extending between the inboard and outboard side, wherein the interface is configured to form a captive connector attachment with the detachable control handle, the detachable control handle comprising:

• an elongate grip handle oriented parallel with the primary axis when attached to the portable grip device;
• a pair of opposed support arms each having a first end portion connected to the elongate grip handle at opposite side portions of the handle, the pair of opposed support arms oriented apart from each other extending from the first end portion to an opposite second end portion and oriented parallel with the primary axis, each of the support arms having greater flexibility for bending in a direction perpendicular to the primary axis;
• a pair of engagement members each attached to the end portion of a corresponding one of the pair of opposed support arms and oriented parallel with the primary axis;
• a pair of opposing connector pins each having a pin length, P2, measuring the same or less than the channel width, P1, and each partially extending through an engagement member attached to a second end portion of one of the pair of support arms and oriented perpendicular to the primary axis;
• and
• a crossarm extending between the pair of support arms in a direction perpendicular to the primary axis, the crossarm establishing a preset inboard spacing between the pair of support arms at a crossarm interface proximate the second end portions of the pair of support arms including establishing the spacing for the pair of opposing pins and the pair of engagement members;
• wherein:
• the pair of engagement members are configured to flex inboard generally in a direction normal to the primary axis when manually flexed for overcoming an interference and enabling connection of the pair of opposing pins with the corresponding tab connectors.
