Claims12
A grip cover removably covering a handle, said handle extending from a housing of an implement and having a free end, for protecting the hand of a user, said grip cover comprising:
- a) a sheet of flexible material including
- i. an inner surface received against and frictionally engaging the handle of said implement, and
- ii. an outer surface for receiving the hand of said user thereagainst;
- b) securement means for constrictively affixing said sheet about said handle with a selective predetermined compressive force;
- and
- c) an extension, extending from an edge of said sheet so as to overlap said housing.
A grip cover installable about a handle, said handle having an end, of an implement, said implement including a housing, said housing having a rearward end from which said handle extends, and for protecting the hand of the user, said grip cover comprising:
- a) a sheet of flexible material including
- i. an inner surface receivable against and frictionally engageable about the handle of said implement,
- ii. an outer surface for receiving the hand of said user thereagainst,
- iii. a first edge, and
- iv. a second edge spaced from said first edge;
- b) an extension, having an inner surface, extending from said first edge;
- c) a second extension extending from said first edge, spaced from first said extension, said first and second extensions being configured for overlapping engagement of said housing;
- and
- d) securement means for constrictively affixing said sheet about said handle with a selective predetermined compressive force.
