Grip Enhancement Device

Abstract

A grip enhancement device for deterring slippage of a handheld container within a hand of a user includes a band, which is resiliently stretchable and thus configured to be stretched for positioning the band around the handheld container. The band has inner and outer faces, which are textured. The inner face frictionally engages an outer surface of the handheld container upon rebounding of the band. The outer face frictionally engages the hand of the user upon gripping of the handheld container to deter slippage of the handheld container within the hand of the user.

1 . A grip enhancement device comprising a band, the band being resiliently stretchable, wherein the band is configured for stretching for positioning around a handheld container, the band having an inner face and an outer face, the inner face and the outer face being textured, wherein the inner face is configured for frictionally engaging an outer surface of the handheld container upon rebounding of the band, and wherein the outer face is configured for frictionally engaging a hand of a user upon gripping of the handheld container for deterring slippage of the handheld container within the hand of the user, wherein the band has a width of between 1.00 and 2.00 cm, wherein the band is configured for engaging a thumb and at least one finger of the hand of the user. 
     
     
         2 . The grip enhancement device of  claim 1 , wherein the band comprises silicone.
