ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for providing an enhanced grip between a gloved hand and a handle or other object to be gripped. A portion or all of the glove and a portion or all of the handle are provided with selected first and second gripping surfaces, respectively, of the same or different materials, that join together, temporarily or permanently, and provide a stronger hand-to-handle grip that resists slipping. Alternatively, a flexible band, having second and third gripping surfaces on opposite sides, is wrapped around a first object that is to be rotated or otherwise moved relative to a second object, such as a lid and a jar. A gloved hand, having a first gripping surface, grips the flexible band and the first object and forms a strong temporary join between hand, flexible band and first object, allowing the first object to be more easily moved. Various thermoplastic, amorphous polymers, crystalline polymers and rubber-like materials can be used for the gripping surfaces. The invention has application to construction, maintenance, control and extraction work, to sports activities, to repair work around the home and to persons suffering from arthritis and similar diseases that affect an ability to grip an object.
