  • Publication number: 20190183194
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a gripping aid to improve the hand-to-handle interface. The gripping aid increases the grip span of a user by bridging the anatomical gaps in the user's finger and thumb. The gripping aid provide a structure along the thumb web to oppose the gripping force of the fingers/thumb to increase grip strength. In some implementations, the gripping aid may be composed of a crush resistant and further include a fulcrum point to add instability to increase the speed and/or torque of each swing of a handle. In some implementations, the gripping aid may also provide a reduction in vibrations and superficial hand traumas normally caused when the handle strikes an object.

  • Publication number: 20170127739
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a gripping glove with a gripping aid to increase the grip span of a user. In some implementations, the gripping aid may be composed of a crush resistant, flexible material and further include a crest or fulcrum to increase the speed, strength and/or torque of each swing of a tool (e.g., a baseball bat, sledge hammer, or the like). In some implementations, the gripping aid may also provide a reduction in vibrations and superficial hand traumas normally caused when the tool strikes an object.
