Abstract
An expanded implement handle grip for placing over an implement handle of a spoon, fork, knife, toothbrush, hand tool, or the like has been devised which has improved concave features within the hollow, interior space thereof. These concave features, which include, but are not limited to dimples, grooves, spiral grooves, indentations, impressions, channels, depressions, hollows, slits, and the like, to permit the implement handle to be easily inserted into the grip, but nevertheless more effectively held by the expanded implement handle grip while being employed by a user with limited dexterity or strength. Other optional features such as sinuous slits, enlarged ends, and roll-inhibiting features allow the expanded implement handle grip to have improved function.
Claims21
An expanded implement handle grip comprising:
- an exterior adapted to be gripped by a human hand;
- a hollow interior space within the grip, the hollow interior space having an entrance adapted to receive an implement handle, the hollow interior space having an interior surface;
- and
- a plurality of concave dimples within the interior surface to enhance the ability of the interior surface to grasp the implement handle.
An expanded implement handle grip comprising:
- a first end,
- a second end,
- a length,
- an exterior adapted to be gripped by a human hand;
- a hollow interior space within the grip, the hollow interior space having a concave entrance adapted to receive an implement handle, the hollow interior space having an interior surface;
- a plurality of concave dimples within the interior surface to enhance the ability of the interior surface to grasp the implement handle;
- and
- a slit along the length thereof from the first end to the second end, which slit connects the exterior and the hollow interior surface such that the grip may expand in circumference to encompass an implement handle, where the slit has a sinuous path defining a plurality of interdigitating contours on either side of the slit.
An expanded implement handle grip comprising:
- an exterior adapted to be gripped by a human hand;
- a hollow interior space within the grip, the hollow interior space having an entrance adapted to receive an implement handle, the hollow interior space having an interior surface;
- and
- a plurality of spiral grooves within the interior surface to enhance the ability of the interior surface to grasp the implement handle and to facilitate insertion of the implement handle into the hollow interior space.
