Abstract
A grip adapted for attachment to an implement including a handle is disclosed. The grip includes a longitudinally extending tubular shell having an inner surface shaped and dimensioned for attachment to the handle of the implement and an outer surface. The grip further includes a viscoelastic hand surface secured about the outer surface of the tubular shell.
Claims20
A grip adapted for attachment to an implement including a handle, consisting essentially of:
- a longitudinally extending tubular shell including an inner surface shaped and dimensioned for attachment to the handle of the implement and an outer surface shaped and dimensioned to be gripped by an individual, wherein the longitudinally extending tubular shell is made from a viscoelastic solid-phase polymer material composed of aramid fibers dispersed within a thermoplastic elastomer.
A grip adapted for attachment to an implement including a handle, comprising:
- a longitudinally extending strip of a viscoelastic solid-phase polymer material composed aramid fibers dispersed within a thermoplastic elastomer, the strip having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is cut at an oblique angle to facilitate attachment of the strip to the handle of the implement;
- wherein the strip is of a length sufficient to be wrapped about the handle of the implement to act as a grip for the implement.
