A multi-functional handgrip comprising:
- a pair of U-shaped frames slidingly coupled together and biased apart by a pair of coil springs, each of said U-shaped frames including:
- a connecting rod extending in a longitudinal direction and having first and second projecting portions formed on opposing ends thereof;
- an insert block having an inner side coupled to said first projecting portion, said insert block including a wedge lip formed on said inner side thereof and protruding toward said opposing end of said connecting rod, said insert block having a distal end with a pair of lugs extending therefrom in a direction orthogonal said longitudinal direction and defining a lug slot therebetween;
- a connecting block being affixed to said second projecting portion and having a receptacle portion extending in a direction transverse said longitudinal direction, said receptacle portion having a receiving slot formed therein and extending in said transverse direction for receipt of said insert block of the other of said U-shaped frees, said receiving slot having a guiding post extending from a bottom wall of said receiving slot, said connecting block further including four stack receiving slots formed therein each being positioned coaxial a respective fish eye shaped hole, a first of said fish eye shaped holes being positioned adjacent to said connecting rod, a second, third and fourth fish eye shaped hole being positioned in a linearly spaced arrangement along an edge of said receptacle portion of said connecting block wherein said fourth stack receiving slot is positioned adjacent said distal end of said receiving slot;
- a respective one of said pair of coil springs being positioned within said receiving slot of said connecting block and concentrically around said guiding post;
- a plurality of stacks, each of said plurality of stacks being slidingly retained within a respective one of each of said stack receiving slots, each said stack having a first edge and a second inclined edge for providing camming surfaces for abutment against a spring biased retaining pin to selectively withdraw and extend a distal end of said retaining pin through a respective one of said coaxial fish eye shaped holes;
- a longitudinally directed holding bar concentrically mounted about said connecting rod, said holding bar formed by joining first and second longitudinally directed holding bar halves, each of said holding bar halves including a recess for receiving a longitudinally extended portion of said connecting rod therein, said holding bar having a plurality of holes formed in an end thereof disposed adjacent said connecting block;
- and,
- a pair of connecting block covers attached to opposing sides of said connecting block, said covers being provided with a plurality of slots disposed in aligned relation with a respective one of said four stack receiving slots.
