Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grip, whose grip surface structure continuously prevents a wet condition due to sweat and the like, for work equipment or athletic equipment. SOLUTION: In a hollow structure grip 3, a plurality of holes 2 are bored while securing strength necessary for a usage purpose of equipment, and a freely openable lid 1 is provided in the end part, while water absorbing material 5 and the like molded so as to be brought into tight contact with the inside face of the grip 3 is inserted into the inside of the grip and fixed by means of the lid 1. In this way, water on the grip 3 surface is passed through the holes 2 so as to be absorbed by the water absorbing material 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grip (hereinafter collectively referred to as a grip) of a work tool and an exercise tool having a water absorbent material inserted therein.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional grips include those with a cover integrally formed on the surface of a natural material or a chemical compound, or by winding a thin strip thereof. These are effective as non-slip when the grip surface is not wet.

[0003]

However, during the operation using the grip, the surface becomes wet due to perspiration from the palm and becomes slippery. As a result, the work and exercise became inaccurate, and the equipment slipped off, was uncomfortable, and was unclean. And in order to prevent these, the water was simply wiped off with a cloth or the like. Moreover, it had to be repeated many times until the operation was completed. The present invention continuously eliminates these water-wet conditions that occur in the grip.

[0004]

A description will be given below with reference to the drawings. Water absorption molded into the inside of a hollow grip 3 with a lid 1 that can be opened and closed and an opening 2 of a size, shape, and number that is suitable for structural strength and which is in close contact with the inner surface 4 of the hollow. Material 5
Is inserted and fixed with the lid 1. The present invention is a water absorption grip having the above-mentioned configuration.

[0005]

When the operation is performed using this grip, the water content on the surface of the grip 3 generated by perspiration from the palm of the hand, etc.
The water-absorbing material 5 is absorbed by the water-absorbing material 5 to continuously eliminate the water-wet state of the grip surface.

[0006]

[Example 1] Inside a grip 3 having a hollow structure in which a hole 2 is appropriately opened in view of structural strength, and an openable / closable lid 1 is attached to an end,
The water absorbing material 5 molded so as to be in close contact with the inner surface 4 of the hollow portion is inserted and the lid 1 is fixed.

[0007]

Second Embodiment These configurations will be described individually. Regarding the hole 2 formed in the grip 3, the shape, size, and
The arrangement and their uniformity / regularity do not matter.
It is also effective to form a rectangular or rhombic thick net-like cylinder, or to make the holes 2 a large number of pinholes so as to perform a water absorbing action by utilizing a capillary phenomenon.

[0008]

[Third Embodiment] The flank portion 6 of the grip 3 having a hollow structure is shown in FIG.
When the cross section of the water absorbing material 5 is shaped so as to have an arcuate shape on the inner surface 4 of the hollow portion, as shown in FIG. make it easier.

[0009]

[Embodiment 4] As the water absorbing material 5 to be inserted into the hollow portion of the grip 3 having a hollow structure, a natural material, a natural fiber, a chemical fiber, a chemical compound or the like is used. The shape can be fibrous, spongy or granular. When a fibrous or spongy material is used, a water-permeable thin film (whether woven or non-woven) is used as the outer skin 10 to cover the entire circumference of the water-absorbent material, preventing the dissipation of the fibers of the water-absorbent material and maintaining the shape. Is effective for. The water absorbing material 5 is inserted into the hollow portion of the grip 3,
The shape of the water absorbent material needs to be in close contact with the inner surface of the hollow portion, and the outer dimension of the water absorbent material body needs to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the hollow portion. This is because the water-absorbing material having fibrous isoelasticity expands by the elasticity after insertion and swells to the surface of the grip 3 from the hole 2, so that the water-absorbing material comes into direct contact with the palm of the hand holding the grip 3 to increase the water absorbing effect. effective. Only one of the above materials is used to mold the water absorbent material,
Alternatively, two or more kinds of materials can be used as a composite material. When the water content of the water absorbing material 5 and the like becomes saturated, the lid 1 may be opened and closed and replaced.

[0010]

[Embodiment 5] When the water absorbing material is a granular water absorbing material 7, a water permeable cylinder 8 shaped so as to be in close contact with the inner surface 4 of the hollow portion of the grip 3.
In addition, a granular water-absorbing material 7 in which a sufficient amount of free movement is enclosed is used as a replaceable water-absorbing cartridge which is inserted into the hollow portion of the grip 3 and fixed with the lid 1.

[0011]

[Embodiment 6] When the water absorbing material is the granular water absorbing material 7, a water-permeable thin film (whether woven or non-woven) is attached to the inner surface 4 of the hollow portion of the grip 3 or the outer surface of the grip 3. Then, the granular water-absorbing material 7 is put into the hollow portion of the grip 3 in an amount such that the granular water-absorbing material 7 can be freely moved, and the lid 1 is fixed and used.

[0012]

[Embodiment 7] In any of the above cases, by wrapping a thin strip that is water-permeable and has an anti-slip effect on the outer surface of the grip 3, the anti-slip effect is further enhanced. Although the name of the present invention is water absorption grip, the water absorption material inserted into the hollow portion may be replaced with a chemical reaction type or electric resistance type heat generating material. This is extremely useful for protecting the motor function of the hand, etc., in times of severe cold.

[0013]

As described above, when the grip is used for the operation, the grip 3 caused by sweating or the like is generated.
The surface water is absorbed by the water absorbing material 5 and the like inside the hollow through the holes 2, and the wetted state of the grip surface can be continuously eliminated.
