  • Shock-absorbing tool handle
    Patent number: 5816634
    Abstract: A shock-absorbing telescoping tool handle is disclosed having tubular, larger diameter proximal and a smaller diameter distal portions. An internal spring between the handle portions is compressed when the handle portions telescope toward each other. Guide mechanism in the handle portions limits the extent of sliding motion between the handle portions and prevents relative rotation of the handle portions. One or more wipers in the handle portion wipes away any snow, water or debris on the distal portion which could potentially enter the spring area.
