AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a grip device for a hockey stick. It is made up of a hollow shell with an inner surface and a outer surface. The shell has a slit along its length, which allows for easy insertion and removal of the hockey stick shaft. The device is designed to securely hold the shaft and provides a comfortable grip for better control and performance during play.

Problems solved by technology

This is neither practical nor, more importantly, effective in developing strength during the normal repetition of an activity in a training exercise as it does not permit replication of the actual activity as normally required.
Therefore, the prior art is deficient in a grip device for handled sports equipment that improve and strengthen the grip thereon.
Particularly, the art is deficient in a grip that strengthens the grip of both hands simultaneously and strengthens the fingers, wrists, forearm, and upper arm muscles when the grip is placed on the handle without the necessity of constantly squeezing the grip beyond its relaxed configuration while swinging or otherwise moving the equipment.

Abstract

Provided herein are grip devices, grip members and a set of grip devices for the handle of a hockey stick. The grips generally are a hollow member with a substantially cuboidal body adapted to receive the handle therein. The devices have an outer surface and a bore defining a cuboidal inner surface therein with proximal and distal open ends. A slit is formed into the bore between the open ends through which the handle is securely and removably received. The outer diameter of the grip is uniform along the length. The grip may have a stop member formed within the bore.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates generally to the field of sports and sports equipment. Specifically, the present invention relates to a grip for handled sports equipment, for example, a baseball bat, a golf club and a hockey stick, that facilitates strength development through the natural movements of the sport.Description of the Related Art[0002]Exercise grips for strength training of the hands and muscles in the arms are known in the art. For example, one can exercise and strengthen the hands with a compressible hand-grip strengthener, or spring-loaded compressible grips designed for a weightlifting bar to improve stability in the grip and strengthen the grip during a weightlifting session or designed to be placed on the handles of sports equipment during practice or training sessions. However, particularly, training for a sport that requires swinging handled equipment requires a high level of awareness or concentration in their...
