Abstract

An improved wading staff of the type having a shaft, a tip, and a hand grip, the shaft having a longitudinal axis, the hand grip having a top end and a bottom end, the hand grip having a longitudinal axis, the tip being connected to the bottom end of the shaft, the bottom end of the hand grip being connected to the top end of the shaft. The improvement is to arrange the hand grip so that the longitudinal axis of the hand grip is spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the shaft, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the hand grip and the longitudinal axis of the shaft being less than about twenty degrees.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An improved wading staff of the type having a shaft, a tip, and a hand grip, the shaft having a longitudinal axis, the hand grip having a top end and a bottom end, the hand grip having a longitudinal axis, the tip being connected to the bottom end of the shaft, the bottom end of the hand grip being connected to the top end of the shaft, wherein the improvement comprises: the longitudinal axis of the hand grip being spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the shaft, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the hand grip and the longitudinal axis of the shaft being less than about twenty degrees.  
     
     
         2 . The improved wading staff of  claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the hand grip at the bottom of the hand grip is spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the shaft by more than one inch.  
     
     
         3 . The improved wading staff of  claim 2 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the hand grip at the bottom of the hand grip is spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the shaft by less than one foot.  
     
     
         4 . The improved wading staff of  claim 3 , further comprising a hole through the upper end of the shaft below the hand grip so that a lanyard can be attached to the wading staff.  
     
     
         5 . The improved wading staff of  claim 3 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the hand grip is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.  
     
     
         6 . The improved wading staff of  claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the hand grip is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.  
     
     
         7 . The improved wading staff of  claim 1 , wherein the wading staff terminates adjacent the top of the hand grip.  
     
     
         8 . The improved wading staff of  claim 7 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the hand grip at the bottom of the hand grip is spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the shaft by more than one inch.  
     
     
         9 . The improved wading staff of  claim 8 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the hand grip at the bottom of the hand grip is spaced apart from the longitudinal axis of the shaft by less than one foot.  
     
     
         10 . The improved wading staff of  claim 9 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the hand grip is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.  
     
     
         11 . The improved wading staff of  claim 9 , further comprising a hole through the upper end of the shaft below the hand grip so that a lanyard can be attached to the wading staff.  
     
     
         12 . The improved wading staff of  claim 11 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the hand grip is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
