Definitions
- tow cables of any length are subject equipment, which may consist of a grip proper B and a mitten C.
- the mitten C is of the type used by skiers, provided with a thumb and a mitten body to receive the ngers of the wearer, as shown in the drawings.
- Tow ropes and cables are waxed and frequently become iced, so that sometimes the skier will encircle an arm about the rope or hold the rope against the body. All of this not only tends to produce muscular fatigue but also causes soiling of mittens, gloves and body garments.
- a further object of this invention is the provision of an improved gripping means for skiers by means of which the skier may use a tow cable Without liability of suffering rope burns.

- All portions of the improved grip B are preferably flexible, altho the body I0 is inherently of a nature to return to the position shown in Figure 3.

- the loops I3 and I4 are stitched, as shown at 25, to the back of the mitten C, with the grip body I0 arranged in the palm of the mitten.
- the straps or loops I3 and I4 are disposed upon the hand so that the knuckled portion of the hand of the wearer is arranged in the space between the loops I3 and I4. This enables the hand of the wearer to be exed Without any considerable effort and insures a very efficient retention of the grip upon the hand of the user.
- ridges running longitudinally of the mitten, and a pair of relatively spaced straps connected at opposite edges of the anti-skid ilat portion and extending across the back of the mitten at a location between the bottom of the thumb of the mitten and the tip of the mitten and being secured to the back of the mitten.

. any length of time. That is true because mittensv or gloves furnish poor gripping surfaces. Furthermore, tow cables of any length are subject equipment, which may consist of a grip proper B and a mitten C.
The mitten C is of the type used by skiers, provided with a thumb and a mitten body to receive the ngers of the wearer, as shown in the drawings.
to circumferential twisting and lateral vibration,
so that it is very difficult to maintain a grip for any length of time. Tow ropes and cables are waxed and frequently become iced, so that sometimes the skier will encircle an arm about the rope or hold the rope against the body. All of this not only tends to produce muscular fatigue but also causes soiling of mittens, gloves and body garments. To overcome these disadvantages, I have provided a glove which will enable individuals not only to have a larger gripping area upon the rope; and which will enable the rope to be iirmly engaged with but little muscular effort.
A further object of this invention is the provision of an improved gripping means for skiers by means of which the skier may use a tow cable Without liability of suffering rope burns.
Other objects and advantages of this invention Will be apparent during the course of the following detailed description.
In the accompanying' drawings, forming a part of this specification, and wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,
Figure 1 is a view showing the application of the grip in the hand of a wearer upon a ski tow cable.
Figure 2 is an end view of the equipment shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view showing one of the improved grips.
Figure 4 is a view of the grip in a mitten showing the ski tow cable engaging surface thereof.
Figure 5 is an opposite view of the arrangement shown in Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Figure 5.
In the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown only a preferred embodiment of the invention, the letter A may generally designate the improved ski tow cable gripping The grip proper B naturally and inherently assuines the shape shown in Figure 3. It is constructed of flexible and pliable rubber, leather, composition material, or even exible plastic or metal. It is sufficiently strong to enable a user to apply it upon the hand or mitten and grasp a tow cable or ski pole with complete assurance that the grip may be maintained without the expenditure of any considerable muscular effort.
In the main, the grip B includes a flat body portion I0, which is preferably l/4 in thickness. The article gripping surface II of the body I!) is preferably provided with a plurality of parallel ridges I2, or studs may be used, or any other surface gripping expedient, such as shown in my oopending application, Serial Number 380,075, led February 21, 1941.
The hand grip B furthermore includes the parallel strap portions I3 and I4 which are in the forms of loops at opposite ends of the body IB. Each of these loops I3 and I4 includes upstanding end portions I'I arranged at the side margins of the body I!! and normal to the plane of the body II). At each end these upstanding wall portions I1 are connected by a strap portion 20. If desired, this strap portion 20 may have a buckle arrangement (not shown) to adjust thev same in width to the width of a wearers hand.
All portions of the improved grip B are preferably flexible, altho the body I0 is inherently of a nature to return to the position shown in Figure 3. It may be collapsed under pressure in the hand of a wearer to engage the rope or cable gripping surface upon the rope or cable in firm circumferential engagement therewith.
The improved grip B may be formed as a part of the mitten. In this event the loops I3 and I4 are stitched, as shown at 25, to the back of the mitten C, with the grip body I0 arranged in the palm of the mitten. The straps or loops I3 and I4 are disposed upon the hand so that the knuckled portion of the hand of the wearer is arranged in the space between the loops I3 and I4. This enables the hand of the wearer to be exed Without any considerable effort and insures a very efficient retention of the grip upon the hand of the user.
Various changes may be made to the form of ridges running longitudinally of the mitten, and a pair of relatively spaced straps connected at opposite edges of the anti-skid ilat portion and extending across the back of the mitten at a location between the bottom of the thumb of the mitten and the tip of the mitten and being secured to the back of the mitten.
