Abstract

An adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use includes: a) a first adaptive handle member having a top frame component and a bottom frame component and having a central half pipe extending from the top frame component to the bottom frame component and having left half pipe extending from the top frame component to the bottom frame component, and having a right half pipe extending from the top frame component to the bottom frame component; b) a second adaptive handle member having a top frame component and a bottom frame component and having a central half pipe extending from the top frame component to the bottom frame component and having left half pipe extending from the top frame component to the bottom frame component, and having a right half pipe extending from the top frame component to the bottom frame component; and, c) locking mechanism on at least one of the first adaptive handle member and the second adaptive handle member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use, which comprises:
 a) a first adaptive handle member having a top frame component and a bottom frame component and having a central half pipe extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component and having left half pipe extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component, and having a right half pipe extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component;   b) a second adaptive handle member having a top frame component and a bottom frame component and having a central half pipe extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component and having left half pipe extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component, and having a right half pipe extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component; and,   c) locking means on at least one of said first adaptive handle member and said second adaptive handle member, adapted to lock said first adaptive handle member and said second adaptive handle member together in alignment with one another.   
     
     
         2 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein said locking means has a first locking component located on said first adaptive handle and a second locking component on said second adaptive handle that corresponds and interconnects with said first locking component. 
     
     
         3 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein said left half pipe and said right half pipe of said first adaptive handle member and said left half pipe and said right half pipe of said second adaptive handle member are ergonomic and include hand grips. 
     
     
         4 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein said left half pipe and said right half pipe of said first adaptive handle member and said left half pipe and said right half pipe of said second adaptive handle member are semi-circular half pipes. 
     
     
         5 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein said left half pipe and said right half pipe of said first adaptive handle member and said left half pipe and said right half pipe of said second adaptive handle member are semi-oval half pipes. 
     
     
         6 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein said left half pipe and said right half pipe of said first adaptive handle member and said left half pipe and said right half pipe of said second adaptive handle member are padded half pipes. 
     
     
         7 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein said locking means is a permanent locking mechanism. 
     
     
         8 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein said locking means is an unlockable locking mechanism. 
     
     
         9 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein said first adaptive handle member and said second adaptive handle member are hingedly connected to one another. 
     
     
         10 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 1  wherein at least one of said left half pipe and said right half pipe includes a foot strap adjacent thereto. 
     
     
         11 . An adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use which comprises:
 a) a first adaptive handle member having a top frame component and a bottom frame component and having a central half pipe extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component and having left handle extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component, and having a right handle extending from said top frame component to said bottom frame component;   b) a second adaptive handle member having at least a central half pipe corresponding to and adapted for connection to said central half pipe of said first adaptive handle member; and,   c) locking means on at least one of said first adaptive handle member and said second adaptive handle member, adapted to lock said first adaptive handle member and said second adaptive handle member together in alignment with one another.   
     
     
         12 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein said locking means has a first locking component located on said first adaptive handle and a second locking component on said second adaptive handle that corresponds and interconnects with said first locking component. 
     
     
         13 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein said left handle and said right handle of said first adaptive handle member are ergonomic and include hand grips. 
     
     
         14 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein said central half pipe of said first adaptive handle member and said central half pipe of said second adaptive handle member are semi-circular half pipes. 
     
     
         15 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein said central half pipe of said first adaptive handle member and said central half pipe of said second adaptive handle member are semi-oval half pipes. 
     
     
         16 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein said left handle and said right handle of said first adaptive handle member are padded handles. 
     
     
         17 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein said locking means is a permanent locking mechanism. 
     
     
         18 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein said locking means is an unlockable locking mechanism. 
     
     
         19 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein said first adaptive handle member and said second adaptive handle member are hingedly connected to one another. 
     
     
         20 . The adaptive handle for dual hand use and for foot use of  claim 11  wherein at least one of said left handle and said right handle includes a foot strap adjacent thereto.
