Grip support device and method of use
A device and method for providing assistance in gripping items that is sanitary and flexible. In its simplest embodiment, the device is an elongated elastomeric piece with two ends, each end terminating in an enclosed aperture that can be attached to a device to be gripped. Alternate embodiments include an embodiment with a third hole for thumb assistance from the other hand for placing the strap around the hand of the user and the item to be gripped, an embodiment with a middle hole thereby providing three holes wherein the center hole wraps around the center of a baby bottle while the two end holes wrap around the top and bottom of the baby bottle while providing space between the top and bottom holes for the baby's hands, an embodiment with a y-strap for gripping hand tools and an embodiment with a center long hole to allow for the bend in the knuckles of the hand of the user.
Extender and method for holding a razor
An extender has a cradle at the distal end of an extension arm. The handle of a razor is placed in the cradle and held in place by a lash that connects across the spaced edges of the cradle. The length of the cradle avoids rocking of the razor handle about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the cradle.
Apparatus and methods for illuminating an area surrounding a brush
The present invention is a multifunctional electronic light emitting removable grip sleeve for a paintbrush. A paintbrush is to be inserted into an encasement to improve handling and control over the paintbrush. The encasement is ergonomic and smoothly contours to the hand of a painter or user. Within the encasement are two elastic walls that can be tapered to allow the handle of a paintbrush to become lodged as it is inserted. Atop the encasement is a plurality of illuminating sources, preferably LED's, which are used to direct light onto a painted surface. Additionally, a multitude of electronic components can be installed into the present invention in increase productivity and provide convenience for the painter. For example, Bluetooth technology can be implemented into the encasement, similar to cellular phones, along with a radio scanner, a stereo system, and a USB port. Painting is facilitated by using the present invention.

SCRUBBING DEVICE WITH A PROTECTIVE HANDLE
A scrubbing device with a protective handle is disclosed by this invention. The protective handle protects the fingernails, knuckles and digits of a user during use. The protective handle is flexible and malleable. The user grips the protective handle and rolls it over their fingernails, digits, upper knuckles and lower knuckles and tucks their thumb either behind or in front of the handle. The protective handle then protects the user's fingernails, knuckles and digits during use. The scrubbing device with a protective handle may have a protective pad or a protective coating. The scrubbing device with a protective handle may have an attached scouring accessory. Or, the scrubbing device with a protective handle may have a protective pad or a protective coating and an attached scouring accessory.
Extension shaft for holding a tool for rotary driven motion
A tool having a flexible extension shaft, a first end and, a second end and capable of being bent about its axis. The tool transfers rotary motion from a device to an implement. Both of the ends may be capable of independently being bent about the axis. The shaft may include a male member and a female member for a kit. Further, one end of the tool may include a rotatable member having a first and second implement.
Apparatus for applying roll-on/rub-on medications
Apparatus for applying rub-on and roll-on topical products such as medications, pain relievers, deodorants, cosmetics, and any other product having a built in applicator to the user's skin surface in hard-to-reach locations without undo strain or injury. The apparatus comprises a chamber assembly and an elongated handle. The chamber assembly comprises a rounded hollow T-shaped body having a protrusion on one side with a threaded inner surface to receive the elongated handle. The elongated handle has a threaded end that is deeper than the protrusion of the chamber assembly. When a container is placed into the chamber assembly from the top section and the elongated handle is hand-tightened, the threaded end comes in contact with the container and holds it securely in place, allowing the user to apply rub-on and roll-on medications and other products to hard-to-reach places of the body without undo strain or injury.
