ABSTRACT:
An oversized auxiliary handle for use by the manually impaired has a rigid outer cover with a gripping surface and an open end that is provided with a socket for receiving the handle of a conventional implement, such as a knife, fork, toothbrush, or the like. A bladder having a central cavity aligned with the opening is positioned inside the rigid cover. The cover is fitted with an air pump that is manually activated to pressurize the interior of the cover, causing the cavity in the bladder to, directly or indirectly, compress the socket containing the implement handle, and thereby retain the implement in a fixed relationship with respect to the cover.
