ABSTRACT:
A handle unit for rafts, towables, and other buoyant water sports equipment which is recessed within the interior of the device and therefore provides a relatively smooth surface, eliminating the dangers of injury from protruding handles. The handgrips are fabricated from polyvinylchloride (PVC) or other material having similar properties and comprise a flat disk member having an enlarged aperture secured at its lower surface to a cup-shaped receptacle member. The periphery of the disk member is then thermosealed or glued to the exterior skin of the aquatic device with the cup-shaped member extending within the interior of the aquatic device. The enlarged aperture of the handle unit is of sufficient size to receive the fingers of the user. An enlarged downwardly depending lip surrounding the aperture facilitates gripping of the handle unit.
