Abstract
The present invention utilizes additive manufacturing in conjunction with 3D lattice patterns and shapes to achieve grips and wraps that embody enhanced grippiness, e.g. the ease in which a user may maintain a secure hold or contact of the handle or gripping surface of an object, enhanced impact absorption of the end-product, enhanced mitigation of impact transference to the user's body and appendages, and the capability to mitigate moisture collection under and around the user's grip on the grip or wrap via introducing increased airflow and surface area.
Claims14
A handlebar grip comprising:
- a three-dimensional lattice structure comprising one or more layers of three-dimensional lattice forming an exterior sleeve having an interior surface;
- an internal sleeve having an exterior surface, wherein a ridge is disposed upon said exterior surface of the internal sleeve;
- wherein said three-dimensional lattice structure further comprises an interior surface, wherein the three-dimensional lattice structure further comprises a keyway disposed along said interior surface for engagement with said ridge disposed on said internal sleeve, that slidably engages with the exterior surface of said internal sleeve.
