DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(11) Referring now to the drawings, the present invention is an adjustable fishing rod handle assembly, and is generally referred to with numeral 10. It can be observed that it basically includes handle assembly 20 and arm support assembly 120.

(12) As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, handle assembly 20 has upper member 30, interior bracket 50, and lower member 70. Upper member 30 and lower member 70 are coupled, and interior bracket 50 is positioned within upper member 50 and lower member 70. Upper member 30, interior bracket 50, and lower member 70 are ring-shaped. Arm support assembly 120 has curvature.

(13) As seen in FIG. 3, upper member 30 comprises upper member exterior face 32, upper member interior face 42, upper member top end 34, and upper member bottom end 36. Upper member top end 34 defines upper channel 44 towards upper member interior face 42. Upper member bottom end 36 defines lip 38 having external threads 40. Interior bracket 50 comprises bracket exterior face 52, bracket interior face 54, bracket top end 56, bracket bottom end 58, and handle 60. Handle 60 crosses diametrically at bracket interior face 54.

(14) Lower member 70 comprises lower member exterior face 72, lower member interior face 74, lower member top end 76, lower member bottom end 78, and lower member elongated support 84. Lower member top end 76 defines internal threads 80 at lower member interior face 74. Lower member bottom end 78 defines lower channel 82 toward lower member interior face 74. Lower member elongated support 84 is substantially perpendicular to lower member bottom end 78. Lower member elongated support 84 comprises distal holder base 86 having distal holder channel 88 and distal aperture 92 to receive distal adjustable strap 90. Distal holder base 86 is at lower member exterior face 72. In a preferred embodiment, distal holder channel 88 is concave in shape.

(15) When assembled, upper channel 44 receives bracket top end 56 and lower channel 82 receives bracket bottom end 58, allowing interior bracket 50 to freely rotate within upper member interior face 42 and lower member interior face 74. Internal threads 80 receive external threads 40 to secure upper member 30 to lower member 70.

(16) As seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, arm support assembly 120 comprises arm support exterior face 122, arm support interior face 124, first and second lateral supports 126 and 128, elongated support 130, arm support top end 132, and arm support bottom end 134. Elongated support 130 is substantially perpendicular to first and second lateral supports 126 and 128. In a preferred embodiment, arm support interior face 124 is concave to ergonomically receive a wrist/arm section of a user. Elongated support 130 comprises proximal holder base 136 having proximal holder channel 138 and proximal aperture 142. Proximal aperture 142 receives proximal adjustable strap 140. Proximal holder base 136 is at arm support exterior face 122.

(17) As seen in FIGS. 6, 7, 8, and 9, handle assembly 20 and arm support assembly 120 are removable mounted onto fishing rod 180. Handle assembly 20 and arm support assembly 120 are mounted onto fishing rod 180 whereby distal adjustable strap 90 and proximal adjustable strap 140 secure fishing rod 180 to distal holder base 86 and proximal holder base 136 respectively. In a preferred embodiment, distal holder channel 88 receives grip 182 and proximal holder channel 138 receives grip 184. In a preferred embodiment, distal adjustable strap 90 and proximal adjustable strap 140 are hook and loop type straps, as an example VELCRO® straps.

(18) The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
