| Abstract: |
A striking device handle for use in a variety of applications including ball game sports, or as a construction or demolition device handle used in construction, said device is intended to cool the user's hand and reduce the shock that occurs when a striking device impacts an object, the handle having a handgrip comprised of a central body having concavely curved front and rear surfaces which extend a substantial distance along the handgrip, and an exterior shell dispersed on opposite sides of the central body, covering the front and rear surfaces. The shell has a plurality of ventilation openings formed therein that communicate with two separate ventilation chambers that are formed between each of the front and rear surfaces and the shell. Two air inlets are formed on opposite sides of the handgrip at a head end, each air inlet opening into a respective one of the ventilation chambers at the head end. Each ventilation chamber is substantially deeper along a central longitudinal portion than along an end portion that is adjacent a butt end of the handgrip. In a preferred embodiment, the exterior shell of the handle is part of a single integral unit that includes the air intakes. The integral unit also forms a striking device head which can take the form of a racket head with strings attached, a paddle, a hatchet or axe head, a pick head, or a hammer head, such as a head with claws or a ball pein head.
