Many types of exercise, athletic endeavors, or other physical exertion require that a participant achieve and/or maintain a secure grip of a piece of equipment, apparatus, implement, or other object to competently and safely execute an activity being performed. However, grasping a gripping portion of such objects is generally made difficult when it becomes wet, such as, e.g., due to perspiration or environmental moisture. Such wet conditions can result in slippage of the participant's grip, which can negatively impact performance of the participant, can be particularly dangerous to the participant, and can pose a severe threat to harm to others near the activity. Therefore, improving the grip of a participant under such wet conditions is critical to any exercise, athletic endeavors, or other physical exertion where a secure grip of a piece of equipment, apparatus, implement, or other object is required for the participant to perform an activity in a proficient and safe manner.
To improve grip of a participant, various materials have been developed as grip enhancers which can be applied to the skin of the participant and/or the griping portion of an object, including chalk, talc, resin, or rosin. Chalk is a common grip enhancer used by many participants where a secure grip is desired. When rubbed on the skin, this compound forms a thin layer that acts as an antiperspirant by absorbing sweat, and adding texture to skin and surfaces, leading to the maintenance, restoration, and/or improvement in frictional forces, to improve grip. Traditionally, chalk was formulated as a compressed block or a powder. However, besides creating a mess caused by spills, overuse or the like, use of such formulations are undesired as it introduces chalk dust into the air which can pose health concerns for both the participant and one or more bystanders. For example, chalk dust can land on the skin of an individual to evoke an allergic reaction; get into the eyes of an individual to cause irritation, redness and tearing; or be inhaled by an individual where it can provoke respiratory distress including asthma and infections. There are also environmental concerns with the use of such chalk formulations in outdoor activities like rock climbing since the chalk can corrode the rock formations. The use of talc as a grip enhancer results in the same problems associated with chalk since this is also formulated as a block or powder. The concern has risen to such a state that many indoor environments and outdoor recreation sites have either restricted or banned the use of chalk/talc blocks and powdered chalk/talc.
To address these harmful effects or chalk and talc, liquid grip enhancer compositions have been developed. These compositions typically include powdered chalk or talc suspended in an alcohol such as ethanol or isopropanol. When applied, the liquid composition is spread over the skin surface, where after the alcohol evaporates, the chalk or talc remains on the surface to which the composition was applied. Although such liquid compositions appear to minimize the generation of dust upon initial application, chalk or talc dust is still introduced into the air since once the alcohol evaporates, the chalk or talc applied to the skin surface essentially reverts into a powdered form that can be dispersed into the air by movement or friction.
Another problem associated with alcohol-based liquid chalk compositions is that the alcohol servers as a desiccant that dries out the skin causing cracking and bleeding. Such adverse side effects not only diminish the participant's grip due to the pain associated with these open wounds, but can also increase the participant's susceptibility to subsequent infection.
Thus, there is still a need to develop a grip enhancing composition that addresses the health concerns raised using current compositions containing a grip enhancer.

A grip enhancing composition disclosed herein may optionally comprise, in part, a hypochlorous acid. A weak acid, the chemical formula of hypochlorous acid is HOCI, while its molecular formula is written as HCIO. As shown in formula I, hypochlorous acid is a simple molecule with the central oxygen connected to chlorine and hydrogen atoms through single bonds and has molar mass is 52.46 g/mol.
Hypochlorous acid is a colorless solution, and its exact physical properties are variable, depending on the concentration of hypochlorous in solution. Hypochlorous acid reacts with bases to form salts called hypochlorites. For example, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), the active ingredient in bleach, is formed by reacting hypochlorous acid with sodium hydroxide. Hypochlorous acid also readily reacts with a variety of organic molecules and biomolecules.
The hypochlorous acid solution can be produced, e.g., by dissolving chlorine in water, hydrolysis of chlorine gas, electrolysis of a salt solution or acidification of hypochloride. For example, stable hypochlorous salts, such as, e.g., alkali metal hypochlorites like sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, potassium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite and magnesium hypochlorite, can be obtained by dissolving chlorine gas into an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution, like a sodium hydroxide solution, a calcium hydroxide solution, a potassium hydroxide solution, a lithium hydroxide solution, or a magnesium hydroxide solution. Hypochlorous acid can also be prepared by dissolving monoxide in water. As another example, hypochlorous acid can also be produced by electrolytically treating a saline solution. In one method, an electrical current is applied to a three-compartment cell comprising a cathode chamber, an anode chamber, and a central saline solution chamber interposed between the other two chambers where each chamber is separated by a semi-permeable membrane. During electrolysis, sodium chloride (NaCl) dissociates into negatively charged chloride (Cl−) and positively charged sodium (Na+). At the same time, water dissociates into hydroxide (OH−) and hydrogen (H+) ions are formed. The negatively charged chloride (Cl−) and hydroxide (OH−) ions move to the anode to lose electrons and form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as well as hypochlorite ions (OH−) and oxygen (O2) and chlorine (Cl2) gases. The reductive water comprising the hypochlorous acid is then dispensed into a collection chamber for subsequent use. Methods to produce hypochlorous acid are described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,914,397, 4,190,638, 4,908,215, 5,322,677, 6,426,066, 7,323,118, 8,062,500, 8,945,630, 9,168,318, and 9,486,479, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

In one embodiment, a grip enhancing composition disclosed herein does not comprise hypochlorous acid.
The concentration of hypochlorous acid in solution may be described as free available chlorine in parts per million. Hypochlorous acid is in equilibrium with hypochlorite ions (OCl−) and dissolved chlorine gas (Cl2). The extent of the equilibrium is determined predominately by the pH of the solution. Temperature also impacts the ratio of the free chlorine component. Therefore, both FAC and pH need to be known to understand the amount of chlorine present as hypochlorous acid. In general, when the pH range is about 4.0 to about 5.6, approximately 100% of the available chlorine is present as HOCI. As the pH is lowered below about 4, there is an increase in dissolved chlorine gas (Cl2). Thus, at a pH of about 3, about 90% of the available chlorine is present as hypochlorous acid, at a pH of about 2, about 75% of the available chlorine is present as hypochlorous acid, at a pH of about 1.5, about 50% of the available chlorine is present as hypochlorous acid, while at a pH of about 1, about 25% of the available chlorine is present as hypochlorous acid. As the pH is increase above about 5.6, there is an increase in hypochlorite ions (OCl−). Thus, at a pH of about 6.5, about 90% of the available chlorine is present as hypochlorous acid, at a pH of about 7, about 75% of the available chlorine is present as hypochlorous acid, at a pH of about 7.5, about 50% of the available chlorine is present as hypochlorous acid, while at a pH of about 8, about 25% of the available chlorine is present as hypochlorous acid.
The chlorine amount may be measured by methods known in the art, such as the DPD colorimeter method (Lamotte Company, Chestertown, Md.) or other known methods established by the Environmental Protection Agency. In the DPD colorimeter method, a yellow color is formed by the reaction of free chlorine With N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) and the intensity is measured With a calibrated calorimeter that provides the output in parts per million. Further addition of potassium iodide turns the solution a pink color to provide the total chlorine value.

In closing, it is to be understood that although aspects of the present specification are highlighted by referring to specific embodiments, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate that these disclosed embodiments are only illustrative of the principles of the subject matter disclosed herein. Therefore, it should be understood that the disclosed subject matter is in no way limited to a particular compound, composition, article, apparatus, methodology, protocol, and/or reagent, etc., described herein, unless expressly stated as such. In addition, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that certain changes, modifications, permutations, alterations, additions, subtractions and sub-combinations thereof can be made in accordance with the teachings herein without departing from the spirit of the present specification. It is therefore intended that the following appended claims and claims hereafter introduced are interpreted to include all such changes, modifications, permutations, alterations, additions, subtractions and sub-combinations as are within their true spirit and scope.
Certain embodiments of the present invention are described herein, including the best mode known to the inventors for carrying out the invention. Of course, variations on these described embodiments will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the foregoing description. The inventor expects skilled artisans to employ such variations as appropriate, and the inventors intend for the present invention to be practiced otherwise than specifically described herein. Accordingly, this invention includes all modifications and equivalents of the subject matter recited in the claims appended hereto as permitted by applicable law. Moreover, any combination of the above-described embodiments in all possible variations thereof is encompassed by the invention unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context.
Groupings of alternative embodiments, elements, or steps of the present invention are not to be construed as limitations. Each group member may be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other group members disclosed herein. It is anticipated that one or more members of a group may be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and/or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all Markush groups used in the appended claims.
Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing a characteristic, item, quantity, parameter, property, term, and so forth used in the present specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” As used herein, the term “about” means that the characteristic, item, quantity, parameter, property, or term so qualified encompasses a range of plus or minus ten percent above and below the value of the stated characteristic, item, quantity, parameter, property, or term. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary. For instance, as mass spectrometry instruments can vary slightly in determining the mass of a given analyte, the term “about” in the context of the mass of an ion or the mass/charge ratio of an ion refers to +/−0.50 atomic mass unit. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical indication should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.
Use of the terms “may” or “can” in reference to an embodiment or aspect of an embodiment also carries with it the alternative meaning of “may not” or “cannot.” As such, if the present specification discloses that an embodiment or an aspect of an embodiment may be or can be included as part of the inventive subject matter, then the negative limitation or exclusionary proviso is also explicitly meant, meaning that an embodiment or an aspect of an embodiment may not be or cannot be included as part of the inventive subject matter. In a similar manner, use of the term “optionally” in reference to an embodiment or aspect of an embodiment means that such embodiment or aspect of the embodiment may be included as part of the inventive subject matter or may not be included as part of the inventive subject matter. Whether such a negative limitation or exclusionary proviso applies will be based on whether the negative limitation or exclusionary proviso is recited in the claimed subject matter.
Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and values setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical ranges and values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical range or value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. Recitation of numerical ranges of values herein is merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate numerical value falling within the range. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each individual value of a numerical range is incorporated into the present specification as if it were individually recited herein.
The terms “a,” “an,” “the” and similar references used in the context of describing the present invention (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. Further, ordinal indicators—such as “first,” “second,” “third,” etc.—for identified elements are used to distinguish between the elements, and do not indicate or imply a required or limited number of such elements, and do not indicate a particular position or order of such elements unless otherwise specifically stated. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g., “such as”) provided herein is intended merely to better illuminate the present invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. No language in the present specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element essential to the practice of the invention.
When used in the claims, whether as filed or added per amendment, the open-ended transitional term “comprising” (and equivalent open-ended transitional phrases thereof like including, containing and having) encompasses all the expressly recited elements, limitations, steps and/or features alone or in combination with unrecited subject matter; the named elements, limitations and/or features are essential, but other unnamed elements, limitations and/or features may be added and still form a construct within the scope of the claim. Specific embodiments disclosed herein may be further limited in the claims using the closed-ended transitional phrases “consisting of” or “consisting essentially of” in lieu of or as an amended for “comprising.” When used in the claims, whether as filed or added per amendment, the closed-ended transitional phrase “consisting of” excludes any element, limitation, step, or feature not expressly recited in the claims. The closed-ended transitional phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the expressly recited elements, limitations, steps and/or features and any other elements, limitations, steps and/or features that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed subject matter. Thus, the meaning of the open-ended transitional phrase “comprising” is being defined as encompassing all the specifically recited elements, limitations, steps and/or features as well as any optional, additional unspecified ones. The meaning of the closed-ended transitional phrase “consisting of” is being defined as only including those elements, limitations, steps and/or features specifically recited in the claim whereas the meaning of the closed-ended transitional phrase “consisting essentially of” is being defined as only including those elements, limitations, steps and/or features specifically recited in the claim and those elements, limitations, steps and/or features that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed subject matter. Therefore, the open-ended transitional phrase “comprising” (and equivalent open-ended transitional phrases thereof) includes within its meaning, as a limiting case, claimed subject matter specified by the closed-ended transitional phrases “consisting of” or “consisting essentially of.” As such embodiments described herein or so claimed with the phrase “comprising” are expressly or inherently unambiguously described, enabled and supported herein for the phrases “consisting essentially of” and “consisting of.”

These publications are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Nothing in this regard should be construed as an admission that the inventors are not entitled to antedate such disclosure by virtue of prior invention or for any other reason. All statements as to the date or representation as to the contents of these documents is based on the information available to the applicants and does not constitute any admission as to the correctness of the dates or contents of these documents.
Lastly, the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, which is defined solely by the claims. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to that precisely as shown and described.
This application claims the benefit of priority and the filing date pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 62/576,326, filed Oct. 24, 2017, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
