US 2020/0047019 A1 · Ergonomic Strength Conditioning Grip

Abstract

An ergonomic grip for strength conditioning has a grip body composed of three adjoined, progressively larger oblate spheroids. The major and minor diameters of the spheroids and their spacings combine to form invected surfaces at the junctions of first and second and second and third spheroids. These invected surfaces admit curved fingers of a grasping hand to provide a secure grip while eliminating a common problem of the little finger (4th finger) of the hand being crushed or discomforted. A central shaft passes through the grip body and includes an attachment affordance at one protruding end, and is coupled to a washer at the other end. A central cavity in the grip body allows the spheroids to compliantly conform to the inner concavities of an individual user's palm for increased comfort and positive grip. They eyebolt may also swivel to align itself to a connected cable during use.

Dependent claims

An ergonomic strength conditioning grip that self-adjusts to a connection cable for the most efficient line of pulling force comprising;

an elastic deformable hollow body having a linear axis, a proximal end, and a distal end,
said hollow body having an upper oblate spheroid body, a middle oblate spheroid body and a lower oblate spheroid body arranged in a vertically stacked configuration;
a non-uniform bore extending between said proximal end and said distal end, said bore having a longitudinal axis common with said linear axis of said hollow body;
a rotatable eyebolt having a circular ring formed at an end of an at least partially threaded shaft, said threaded shaft extending into said non-uniform bore and said circular ring extending beyond said proximal end;
at least one nut threadingly engaged on said threaded shaft;
a compression limiting member having two parallel, planar faces and a circular peripheral edge, said compression limiting member frictionally constrained on said threaded shaft between said nut and a bore wall of said lower oblate spheroid body, and
at least one lubrication orifice extending between said proximal end and said non-uniform bore.
