Ergo-Ride Pro

Abstract

The Ergo-Ride Pro is a device that when worn holds a carpenter's or construction style hammer. The device holds the hammer tilted at an angle thereby preventing the hammer handle from striking the back of the wearer's legs.

1 . ELIMINATES LEG BATTER caused by repeated blows from the freely swinging handle against the back of the legs 
     
     
         2 . SMOOTHER DRAW. The angle allows for smoother drawing and re-holstering of a hammer. 
     
     
         3 . PREVENTS SNAGGING. The hammer rides higher and behind the left thigh instead of between the legs. This prevents the handle from catching on string lines, rebar, and other job site obstacles. It also prevents the hammer handle from tangling between the wearers legs thus preventing a trip hazard. 
     
     
         4 . PREVENTS SPILLING OF HAMMER. When crouching with other hammer holders the hammer handle comes in contact with the ground causing the hammer to lift and topple out of the holder. In the Ergo-Ride Pro the hammer typically does not make contact with the ground even when crouching. 
     
     
         5 . CAT'S PAW HOLDER. Enables the wearer to carry a cat's paw in the same device.
