ABSTRACT:
A cushioned gripping device is provided for attachment to the elongated handle of a tool. It includes a pad of foam-like resilient material dimensioned to substantially encircle the handle of the tool and to extend along a substantial length of the handle. The pad can be mounted by means of a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive material in which instance, a releasable backing sheet may overlie the layer of adhesive material. A resilient sheet of rubber-like material may overlie the pad to extend the life of the foam-like material. In another instance, the device may be attached by means of hook and loop material. In another embodiment, the device may have a contoured outer surface to improve the ability of a person to maintain a grip. Also, the device may be tubular and cut longitudinally for reception on the handle of the tool. Yet again, the device may be generally planar and rectangular, having a width dimension generally equal to the outer periphery of the handle.
