Abstract
A handle for use with and/or for releasably coupling to an implement. The handle may include: a handgrip, an arm operatively coupled to the handgrip, and a collar operatively coupled to the arm remote from the handgrip. The collar may be configured to releasably receive a shaft of the implement. The collar may comprise two substantially opposing collar portions defining a shaft pathway, wherein the collar portions are displaced axially along the shaft pathway to form a keyway sized to receive the shaft when the shaft and the shaft pathway are substantially orthogonal to each other. A set of handles may also be provided, with one handle having a shorter arm length than the other.

A handle for releasable attachment to an implement, the handle comprising:
- a) a handgrip;
- b) an arm to which the handgrip is mounted;
- c) a collar mounted to the arm remote from the handgrip and configured to releasably receive a shaft of the implement, the collar comprising:
- i) two substantially opposing collar portions defining a shaft pathway;
- ii) wherein the collar portions are displaced axially along the shaft pathway;
- and
- iii) a spine connecting the collar portions to each other, the spine extending axially along and beneath the shaft pathway between the collar portions.
A handle for releasable attachment to an axially extending implement handle shaft, said handle comprising:
- a) a collar comprising:
- i) a first collar portion;
- and
- ii) a second collar portion, said second collar portion being axially spaced from said first collar portion;
- b) an arm to which said collar is secured;
- c) a handgrip mounted to said arm;
- d) said first and second collar portions defining a shaft pathway in which to receive the shaft;
- e) said first and second collar portions comprising leverable edges, said leverable edges defining locking grips restricting motion of the handle along the shaft when the shaft is seated in the shaft pathway;
- and
- f) wherein the collar further comprises a spine which extends between said first and second collar portions and to which said first and second collar portions are mounted, said spine extending axially along and beneath said shaft pathway distant from said handgrip.
