Abstract
A window operation assistance handle having a base, at lease one finger grip with two legs, multiple offset orifice fixation ports for receiving multiple securing devices such as setscrews or thumbscrews, and a base hollow groove. To temporarily install and use the handle, the handle is positioned to envelope an integrated leverage point in the hollow groove, and the securing devices disposed in the multiple offset orifice fixation ports are engaged to create a non-penetrating compressive friction fit upon enveloped leverage point. The window can then be lifted or slid by applying force to the finger grips. The handle can be adjusted to the user's strength, size, and dimensions, and installed and removed without use of tools or creating permanent damage of the framework of the window.
Claims10
An apparatus used by a human urging a window leverage point comprising:
- a resilient piece of plate like material of sufficient size for use by a human hand and is resilient vet flexible in providing an operating range that allows varied degrees of angles while urging a leverage point;
- at least two base members bounding a hollow groove to sandwich a leverage point, one said base member is coplanar with a finger grip;
- at least one fixation port penetrating at least one of said base members, with at least one fastener disposed, said fastener creating a non-penetrating compressive friction fit for contiguous sandwiching of said one base member to a leverage point and creating a non-permanent attachment.
A method for extending a movable leverage point by joining at least two pieces of resilient material together for urging comprising the steps of;
- (a) providing at least one piece of resilient material sufficient for use by a human hand with a base having at least two members and a hollow groove formed therein, at least one said base member is coplanar with a finger grip and has at least one fixation port and at least one fastener disposed therein,
- (b) positioning said groove as to envelop a leverage point;
- and
- (c) securing at least one said fastener to create a non-penetrating compressive friction fit against a leverage point such that urging may occur on a now extended leverage point, whereby when said at least one piece of resilient material is engaged with a leverage point urging may occur.
A method for extending a movable leverage point by joining at least 2 pieces of resilient material for urging comprising the steps of;
- (a) providing at least one piece of resilient material sufficient for use by a human hand with a base having at least two members and a hollow groove formed therein, at least one base member is coplanar with a finger grip, and
- (b) positioning said hollow groove as to envelop a leverage point such that urging may be accomplished without the use of said fastener by substantially surrounding a leverage point for urging, whereby when said at least one piece of resilient material is engaged with a leverage point urging may occur.
