  • Patent number: 8376797
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved tow rope handle for attaching to a tow line. A bridle has two ends and a central loop for attaching the bridle to the tow line. A forward handle portion has two opposing forward sides and extends rearwardly therefrom to terminate at a central rear side. Each forward side is adapted for fixing with one end of the bridle. A rearward handle portion is fixed at a central forward side thereof with the central rear side of the forward handle portion, preferably with a rotational bearing axially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the forward handle portion. The rearward handle portion further includes two opposing handle grips extending laterally away therefrom. Each handle grip may terminate at a cap that includes a forward projecting stop. As such, a virtual stabilizing triangle is formed between each cap and the central attachment loop, but without bridle ropes that can interfere with or injure the user during use.
