Oregon Patent of the Month – January 2025
Dynepic Sports, LLC has revolutionized the fitness industry with its innovative gym handle, designed to optimize comfort and efficiency during workouts. Traditional gym handles often lead to discomfort and strain, as they fail to conform to the natural anatomy of the human hand. Dynepic Sports’ latest invention tackles this issue head-on, offering a uniquely ergonomic solution that enhances grip stability and load distribution.
At the core of this breakthrough design is a conical grip element featuring a spiral-shaped groove, which provides a secure and natural hold. Unlike conventional cylindrical grips that create pressure points and uneven weight distribution, this conical shape aligns seamlessly with the user’s hand, reducing fatigue and enhancing control. Made from high-quality elastomeric materials such as rubber, foam, or cork, the grip ensures both durability and a slight compressibility that improves comfort. Additionally, its slightly tacky surface prevents slippage, making it ideal for high-intensity exercises.
The handle’s functionality is further enhanced by an integrated flexible tensile member—either a rope or a webbing strap—that forms a continuous loop, allowing seamless connection to various exercise machines. This design eliminates the instability and uneven resistance often associated with traditional gym handles. A tubular bar positioned within the grip element reinforces structural integrity, while smooth end caps protect the flexible tensile member from wear and tear, ensuring long-term reliability.
By merging ergonomic science with innovative engineering, Dynepic Sports has created a gym handle that not only improves comfort but also maximizes performance. Whether for casual fitness enthusiasts or elite athletes, this invention sets a new standard in gym equipment, proving that a simple design shift can lead to a transformative workout experience.
