ABSTRACT:
The handle assembly comprises a beam which extends from an area on the user's forearm to just beyond the user's knuckles between the phalanges and metatarsals. A saddle at the forearm end distributes loads over the forearm area. The saddle may be fitted with a adjustable strap to hold the saddle in place. There is a journal at the knuckle end, the axis of the journal being essentially parallel to the beam and positioned such that the hub of a hand grip attached to a shaft in the journal fits between the fore and middle fingers of the users hand. An adaptor is attached to the shaft to facilitate attaching any of a variety of tools or implements to the assembly. In one embodiment of the invention the grip comprises a second saddle which engages the wrist joint for the hand. Mounting the grip and adaptor on the journalled shaft enables altering the active direction of the tool or implement without moving the forearm saddle on the arm.
