Abstract
A handle assembly with multi-axial adjustment is disclosed. The disclosed assembly provides for more ergonomic handling of various tools, particularly ambulatory assistance devices. In an exemplary embodiment, a splined coupling provides 360 degree adjustability about its axis. A housing unit provides an adjustable interface between the splined coupling and a handle component. A convex face of the housing unit is geared, and a concave face of the handle component is adapted to selectable engage with the housing unit at a variety of angels.
Claims20
A handle assembly adapted for multi-axial adjustment, comprising:
- a mounting component, a housing unit, and a handle component, wherein
- a. a splined face of the mounting component is adjustably engageable to a plurality of teeth on an inner face of the housing unit;
- b. an externally geared convex second face of the housing unit is adjustably engageable to a plurality of teeth on a concave first face of the handle component;
- and wherein
- c. the handle component includes an arm removably pinnable to the housing unit.
An ambulatory device with adjustable handle, comprising:
- a shaft, a mounting component, a housing unit, and a handle component, wherein
- a. the mounting component is secured to the shaft,
- b. a splined face of the mounting component is adjustably engaged to a plurality of teeth on an inner face of the housing unit;
- c. an externally geared convex second face of the housing unit is adjustably engaged to a plurality of teeth on a concave first face of the handle component;
- and wherein
- d. the handle component includes an arm removably pinnable to the housing unit.
A handle assembly with multi-axial adjustment, comprising:
- a. a multi-axial adjustment means securable to a tool at a plurality of angles about a first axis, and
- b. a handle adjustably securable to the multi-axial adjustment means at a plurality of angles about a second axis.
A handle assembly adapted for multi-axial adjustment, comprising:
- a mounting component and a handle component, wherein
- a. a first hemisphere of the mounting component is securable to a first portion of a tool, and a second hemisphere of the mounting component is securable to a second portion of a tool, and a plurality of sockets are dispersed about the inner face of each hemisphere,
- b. a first end of the handle component is a sphere, and wherein a plurality of keys extend from the sphere, and wherein the keys are adapted to engage the sockets at a plurality of available angles about multiple axis, and
