ABSTRACT:
A full motion leverage enhancing assembly is provided for attachment to the handle of a mop, broom, rake or similar tool which has an elongate handle and a center of gravity strongly skewed away from the grip point utilized by the tool operator. In this embodiment, the leverage enhancing assembly comprises an arm clamp for securing the tool handle to a single arm of the user and a grasping shaft for grasping the tool handle. The arm clamp is comprised of a first rigid longitudinal segment adjustably attached to the end of the tool handle proximate to the user by a semi-rigid clamp having an adjustable circumference. The arm clamp is further provided with a pair of flexible, adjustably interlocking straps extending from the proximal end of the longitudinal segment opposite the clamp. The straps are constituted to form a semi-permanently and adjustably substantially circular clasp for receiving and securing a portion of the user's forearm. The grasping shaft comprises a second rigid longitudinal segment attache to the tool handle by a semi-rigid clamp opposite the user relative to the arm clamp and in axial alignment with the arm clamp. This second longitudinal segment is furthered configured to be adjustably matable to the first longitudinal segment. The grasping shaft is substantially perpendicularly protruding from the second longitudinal segment and has an abutment flange for increasing the stability of the user's grip on the grasping shaft.
