<p>A deformable grip for a writing implement, and related production method, are provided wherein the grip resiliently conforms to individualized anatomical contours and preferences, thereby providing enhanced user comfort with reduced fatigue. The deformable grip includes a resilient outer sleeve mounted on the writing implement in a position for manual grasping during normal use, as by fingertip grasping, wherein this outer sleeve closes an internal cavity containing a plurality of shape-deformable balls having sufficient resilience to provide the sleeve with a deformable tactile feel during normal use. These resilient balls are sufficiently deformable to accommodate injection into the cavity through a hollow needle passed through a small puncture port formed in the sleeve, followed by return to a normal size and shape sufficiently large to prevent backflow leakage through the puncture port to the sleeve exterior.</p> |
