Rowing handle

Abstract

Methods and devices relating to a rowing handle including a grip portion and two members that are formed or attached on opposite sides of the grip portion relative to center of the grip portion and each member having a hook shape. In some implementations, the hook shape of the first member is formed in a first direction relative to a grip axis defined by the grip portion, and the hook shape of a second member is formed in a second opposite direction that the hook shape of the first member. In some implementations the hook shape of the first member and the hook shape of the second member are formed in a same direction relative to the grip axis.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A rowing handle, comprising:
 a grip portion; and   two members that are formed or attached on opposite sides of the grip portion relative to a center of the grip portion and each member having a hook shape, wherein the hook shape of a first member and the hook shape of the second member are both formed in a same direction relative to a grip axis defined by the grip portion.   
     
     
         2 . The rowing handle of  claim 1 , wherein the first member includes:
 a first arm portion that extends away from the grip axis defined by the grip portion; and   a first engagement portion that is formed along a first engagement axis that intersects a first arm axis defined by the first arm portion.   
     
     
         3 . The rowing device handle of  claim 2 , wherein the first member has a first return portion that formed along a first return axis that is substantially parallel to the first arm axis defined by the first arm portion. 
     
     
         4 . The rowing handle of  claim 2 , wherein the second member includes:
 a second arm portion that extends away from the grip axis defined by the grip portion and is formed in a first member plane that is substantially parallel to a second member plane that is defined by the first member; and   a second engagement portion that is formed along a second engagement axis that intersects a second arm axis defined by the second arm portion.   
     
     
         5 . The rowing handle of  claim 4 , wherein the second member has a second return portion that is formed along a second return axis that is substantially parallel to the second arm axis defined by the second arm portion. 
     
     
         6 . The rowing handle of  claim 4 , wherein the first arm portion and the second arm portion extend away from the grip axis at a same angle. 
     
     
         7 . The rowing handle of  claim 1 , wherein the two members are formed to fit in holes defined in a rowing machine handle of a rowing machine. 
     
     
         8 . The rowing handle of  claim 1 , wherein the two members are formed to engage grip portions on opposite sides of a rowing machine handle of a rowing machine. 
     
     
         9 . The rowing handle of  claim 1 , wherein the hook shape of each member is an L-shape. 
     
     
         10 . The rowing handle of  claim 1 , wherein the hook shape of each member is a C-shape. 
     
     
         11 . The rowing handle of  claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of each member is a D-shape. 
     
     
         12 . A rowing handle, comprising:
 a grip portion; and   two members that are formed or attached on opposite sides of the grip portion relative to a center of the grip portion and each member having a hook shape, wherein the hook shape of a first member is formed in a first direction relative to a grip axis defined by the grip portion, and the hook shape of a second member is formed in a second opposite direction than the hook shape of the first member.   
     
     
         13 . A method for forming a rowing handle, comprising:
 forming a grip portion; and   forming or attaching two members on opposite sides of the grip portion relative to a center of the grip portion and each member having a hook shape, wherein the hook shape of a first member and the hook shape of the second member are both formed in a same direction relative to a grip axis defined by the grip portion.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first member is formed such that the first member includes:
 a first arm portion extending away from the grip axis defined by the grip portion; and   a first engagement portion in a first engagement axis intersecting a first arm axis defined by the first arm portion.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the first member is formed such that the first member has a first return portion in a return axis that is substantially parallel to the first arm axis defined by the first arm portion. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the second member is formed such that the second member includes:
 a second arm portion that extends away from the grip axis defined by the grip portion and in a first member plane that is substantially parallel to a second member plane that is defined by the first member; and   a second engagement portion in a second engagement axis that intersects a second arm axis defined by the second arm portion.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the second member is formed such that the second member has a second return portion in a second return axis that is substantially parallel to the second arm axis defined by the second arm portion. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein forming the first arm portion of the first member and the second arm portion of the second member comprises forming the first arm portion and the second arm portion at different angles relative to the grip axis defined by the formed grip portion. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein forming the hook shape of each member includes forming an L-shape, a C-shape, or a J-shape.
