Abstract: A device to assist with untying rope knots comprises an elongate body having a first end and a second end. There is an enlarged tip portion extending from the first end of the elongate body. The enlarged tip portion increases in diameter from a proximal end thereof to an intermediate portion and decreases in diameter from the intermediate portion to a distal end thereof. The enlarged tip portion is configured to be inserted into a loose knot in a rope so that the enlarged tip portion inhibits the device from slipping out of the knot after the knot is tightened. When removing the device from the knot, the enlarged tip portion further expands the knot relative to the elongate body so as to facilitate untying the knot.

Abstract: A handle for a sport stick comprising a body portion and a grip portion. The body portion extends longitudinally and has a longitudinal body axis and mutually perpendicular major and minor transverse body axes. The grip portion, having a longitudinal grip axis and mutually perpendicular major and minor transverse grip axes, extends obliquely from the body portion so that the longitudinal axes thereof are disposed to each other at a first angle, and the major transverse axes thereof are disposed to each other at a second angle.
