| | Handle grip - Patent 5005254 |
 | | The handle grip, which has a novel exterior gripping surface, is produced by dipping a male mandrel into an elastomeric latex and, thereafter, curing the latex skin on the mandrel prior to stripping off of the grip from the mandrel. |
 | | The grip is installed on a baseball bat's handle by creating a pressure differential between the interior and exterior of the grip, i.e., by exposing it to a vacuum, thereby causing the grip to stretch radially outward from its longitudinal axis. |
 | | After the grip 10 has been cuffed onto the vacuum, tube's collar 26, a pressure differential is created between the interior and the exterior of the grip sufficient to expand the grip into an internal girth throughout its longitudinal length which is substantially greater than the handle 13 of a baseball bat. |
