Abstract: A striking device such as a racquet or tool has a head portion for striking an object and an elongate handgrip with an exterior shell defining an elongate ventilation chamber having a set of air holes for ventilation purposes and to create enhanced gripping ability. An air scoop section is connected to a head end of the shell and forms two air inlets on opposite sides of the handgrip. The air scoop section includes a partition separating the two air inlets, this partition having airflow directing surfaces on opposite sides thereof. These surfaces can direct outside air in a longitudinal direction into the ventilation chamber.

Abstract: A leaf crushing, carrying, and pouring device can be used for efficient garden and lawn refuse clean-up and disposal without getting the user dirty. This device comprises a flexible, durable sheet member having first and second sheet sections with inner and outer surfaces. The first and second sections are joined along an inner edge of the sheet sections so that one of the sheet sections is foldable over the other sheet section. Each sheet section has an outer edge opposite its respective inner edge and two opposite end edges. First and second handles are provided on each of the sheet sections for manually grasping the respective sheet section. The first of these handles is adjacent the outer edge of its respective sheet section and the second is adjacent one of the end edges of its respective sheet section. Preferably the sheet member is made of a strong, reinforced fabric or durable plastics sheeting.

Abstract: A striking device handle for use in a variety of applications including ball game sports, or as a construction or demolition device handle used in construction, said device is intended to cool the user's hand and reduce the shock that occurs when a striking device impacts an object, the handle having a handgrip comprised of a central body having concavely curved front and rear surfaces which extend a substantial distance along the handgrip, and an exterior shell dispersed on opposite sides of the central body, covering the front and rear surfaces. The shell has a plurality of ventilation openings formed therein that communicate with two separate ventilation chambers that are formed between each of the front and rear surfaces and the shell. Two air inlets are formed on opposite sides of the handgrip at a head end, each air inlet opening into a respective one of the ventilation chambers at the head end.

Abstract: A racket or paddle handle for use in all racket or paddle sports that is intended to cool the user's hand and reduce the shock that occurs when a racket or paddle impacts on a ball, the handle having a handgrip comprised of a central body having concavely curved front and rear surfaces which extend a substantial distance along the handgrip, and an exterior shell dispersed on opposite sides of the central body, covering the front and rear surfaces. The shell has a plurality of ventilation openings formed therein that communicate with two separate ventilation chambers that are formed between each of the front and rear surfaces and the shell. Two air inlets are formed on opposite sides of the handgrip at a head end, each air inlet opening into a respective one of the ventilation chambers at the head end. Each ventilation chamber is substantially deeper along a central longitudinal portion than along an end portion that is adjacent a butt end of the handgrip.
