Tower Gripz

Abstract

The present invention discloses an advanced system of handgrip apparatus including a hollow housing defining a handgrip surface and forming an enclosure and a rigid surface for the slip free holding of assembly. The shock dampening hand grip wraps around various diameters of raw stainless steel or powder coated railings commonly used on all types of recreational boats. When applied to a railing, grab bar, T-Top or ladder, the inner EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) copolymer foam provides an adhesive surface which prevents the grip from sliding up or down or side to side. The present technology presents an ergonomic hand grip with a predetermined length to propose a superior support, vibration dampening and impact absorption, thereby reducing fatigue for the users' hand.

Claims

I. A hand grip with a predetermined length where: a shock dampening hand grip wraps around various diameters of raw stainless steel or powder coated railings; an inner EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) copolymer foam; a grip having a slit down the middle to wrap around the assembly; a slit secured at the top and bottom with any locking device with a diameter less than 0.31 inches; a typical securing device including D-ring, carabiner or zip; an outer grip portion having a rectangular fillet from top to bottom that conform to the user's hand.

II: A gripping device specifically focused on providing support on recreational boats where the grip is designed in three different diameters to account for the various railing sizes used on recreational boats.

III: A gripping device with EVA foam, which, is UV resistant, chemical, oil, and fuel spill or splash resistant making it the ideal material for the boating industry and specifically this technology.
