Abstract: A break-away wrist strap for a ski pole or the like. The wrist strap is comprised of a strap or cord material with a clip for attaching to the pole and a buckle for adjustment. The buckle allows adjustment of the size of a loop portion into which the user's hand is placed, and also allows adjustment of an extension portion which extends from the loop portion to the clip. The clip is configured to attach to a standard size pole below the main hand grip, and is designed to detach from the pole when a tensile force above a threshold amount is applied. The break-away feature improves safety of the wrist strap, allows the wrist strap to be used with existing poles, and allows the wrist strap to be removed when not needed. A storage clip for stowing the wrist strap against the pole is also provided.

Abstract: A hand grip system for a skiing, hiking or trekking pole. The pole grip system includes a primary grip with a conical shape designed to fit the natural anatomical shape of a human hand grasping the grip. An optional secondary ascent grip, also conical in shape and located just below the primary grip, may be used for climbing steep terrain without adjusting pole length. The conical shape of the primary grip and the ascent grip provides a mechanism for axial force to be transferred from the user's hand to the pole without requiring a tight grasp. A grip top located above the primary grip prevents the user's hand from sliding upward, and serves as a gripping surface for alternate grasps such as a palm grip. A break-away wrist strap attached at the lower end of the primary grip is usable with either the primary grip or the ascent grip.

Abstract: A handle assembly for coupling to exercise equipment such as resistance bands or weights. The handle assembly includes a grip handle having a conical elastomeric grip with a central opening, where the elastomeric grip is defined by an increasing outer surface circumference along its length to form a conical shape for the user to grasp. The conical grip handle is designed to fit the natural anatomical shape of the user's hand when grasping. A tubular bar may be fitted inside the central opening of the grip handle. A tensile member passes through the grip handle and forms a loop outside the grip handle, where the tensile member is connected to the exercise equipment via a ring, quick link or pulley. End caps may be fitted into the ends of the tubular bar, having openings which allow the tensile member ends to pass through into the interior of the bar.

Abstract: Grip handles for coupling to a resistance force provided by exercise equipment, resistance bands, or a user's own bodyweight. Each grip handle is defined by an increasing outer surface circumference along a length of the grip handle to form a generally conical shaped handhold attached to a rigid or flexible member, where the rigid or flexible member is coupled at an apex of the grip handle. The generally conical shaped handhold provides a comfortable and ergonomic surface to securely distribute the grip force of the user during exercise movements, thus significantly reducing pressure points and grip requirements of current exercise handles.

Abstract: The present disclosure presents a multi-purpose pole grip design in a generally conical shape to resist a user's hand from sliding off it while under axial loading. The present disclosure provides a more ergonomic and comfortable handle that requires less grip strength thus making it a prime design for poles used in sports like skiing and hiking and general walking sticks, including canes.
