Handle with offset connector
11780073 · 2023-10-10 ·

An offset connector subdivides a long, slender tool or implement handle. The offset connector may be provided with one or more unitary or replaceable grips. The additional grips serve as secondary or tertiary hand holds that enable more adaptable and capable ergonomic manipulation of the tool or implement. The offset connector is inserted intermediate between a primary handle grip and the tool or implement head, thereby subdividing the long slender tool or implement handle into at least two separate handle segments. Each handle segment is inserted into a handle segment receiver socket, and is affixed therein using a bolt, screw, or other fastener that is longitudinally co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the handle segment. Some embodiments establish fixed spacing between the primary handle, secondary handle, and implement. Other embodiments provide variable spacing therebetween.

Tool assembly comprising universal handle and interchangeable tool heads

A tool assembly includes an elongated handle and a locking system for attaching a tool head to the handle. The tool head can be a floor care tool or other accessory that can be attached to the handle such that the elongated length of the handle can aid in the use of the tool attached. The locking system includes a keyed locking collar for engaging at least a first portion of the tool head, and a locking cap rotatably positioned on the handle for engaging a second portion of the tool head. The handle can be extendable, such as by telescoping, and can also be overmolded.
