DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0050] Referring to FIG. 1, a top view of hand grip sport strap showing the symmetry of invention. There is no left or right hand strap. The only difference between a small, medium, large, x-large and xx-large size hand grip sport strap is the length of the strap material 11. Referring to all sizes, all parts that make up the V area 10 and 12 are placed and sewn exactly the same. There is no difference in the V area 10 and 12 after sewing. All parts that are sewn in the V area 10 with 12 are sewn in the exact location on all sizes. The only difference from one size to another is the length of strap material 11.

[0051] The V area 10 made up of 10a, a non-slip material, 11 strap material, 13 stitching using thread by sewing machine on strap on 11 strap material and 13a stitching using thread by sewing machine on 10a is the heart and key to this invention. 14 the edges of 10a provide touching, grabbing and adjustment areas for the fingers of the hand using this hand grip sport strap. The V area 10 is designed to be adjustable with the fingertips of the hand using 14 edges of 10a non-slip material. This can be best seen in FIGS. 7, 11 and 12.

[0052] FIG. 2 showing inside bottom view of the hand grip sport strap looks the same as FIG. 1 except for 12 braided elastic placement and 13 stitching. You have the same 14 edges on the inside that will help in the gripping and adjustment of the invention as needed for tightness, looseness and overall comfort and control.

[0053] As can be seen in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 this hand grip sport strap is only made-up of three parts 10a, 11 and 12 along with 13 and 13a stitching.

[0054] FIG. 4 shows the 11 strap material being sewn together and then the tip of two layers of 11 strap material being removed and cut off at 15 cut line with cutting tool. This is a very important step in the manufacturing of this hand grip sport strap for a number of reasons. Once the two ends of 11 strap material are sewn together it will provide a natural curve in the V area 10 as seen in FIG. 8. If the material at 15 cut line with cutting tool was not removed it would provide a pressure point on the inside of the hand or palm area of the user. This could cause some discomfort for the user. Also by removing this material at 15 cut line with cutting tool will allow the user to make adjustments of the V area 10 as seen in FIGS. 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12. This will allow the user to push and place the V area 10 in the proper location.

[0055] It also must be mentioned that the only reason 12 braided elastic is used is to stop the hand. grip sport strap from falling off the hand of the user when not in use. 12 braided elastic, is part of the V area 10. The placement of 12 braided elastic is placed and sewn in the same location on all sizes whether that size be the small or xx-large. The only difference in all sizes of the hand grip sport strap is the length of 11 strap material.
