Abstract
A shock absorbing hand grip comprises an inner elongated resilient tubular wall member adapted to slidably receive a supporting structure and an outer concentric resilient elongated tubular wall member spaced from the inner tubular wall member. A plurality of flexible spacer members are disposed between the inner and outer tubular wall members having a first end attached to the inner tubular wall member and a second end attached to the outer tubular wall member. The flexible spacer members are disposed between the inner and outer tubular wall members at an angle to the axial plane of said tubular members so as to create a region of bending flexure for the spacer member between the inner and outer tubular walls such that shock forces applied to one tubular wall member will cause a bending flexure of the spacer members whereby such shock forces are substantially completely displaced in a non-radial direction to the other tubular wall member.
