ABSTRACT:
An ergonomically adjustable handle for attachment to the body of a tool has a handle member with first and second ends with an axis between. Provision for attaching the first end of the handle to the tool body allows rotation of the handle about the axis through the attachment point. A pivot point is located on the axis of the handle member near the first end and permits deflection of the second end of the handle with respect to the first end. In addition, an outer layer portion of the handle member near the second end may be rotated about its axis to provide a comfortable position for the ellipsoidal cross section of the handle. Finally, clamping provisions at the articulation point and the two rotation mechanisms secure the handle in the desired position.
