APPLICATION OF GRIPS TO HANDLES

摘要

A grip such as a golf club grip (2) is applied to a handle (3) by initially engaging it with a guide (10) which embraces the handle (3). The guide (10) is pushed down over the handle (3), causing teeth (I ) to be pushed outwardly and engage the mouth of the grip (2) and its inner bore. Air is injected into the grip (2) by a pump (27) via a cap hole valve to cause the grip (2) to expand. The grip (2) is simultaneously pulled onto the handle (3) by pulling the guide (10) down the shaft. The guide (10) is then removed by pulling a tab (15) which causes a part to be torn off.
