DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2; the present invention relates to a soft handle, which includes a soft shell (1) and a pair of supports (2). The hollow shell (1) has both top and bottom sides a flange (11), which is capable of being clipped by an inner ring (3) and an outer ring (4), both of which are engaged by screws (31), as shown in FIG. 3 to become a single body. The inner rings (3) have two inner opposite apertures (32) and the outer rings (4) have outer threads (41), while both inner and outer rings (3), (4) have inner threads (33), (42). The two supports (2) have top and bottom rods (21) to engage with related apertures (32) of the inner rings (3) in secure. A bottom cap (5) connects with bottom side of the shell (1), wherein the bottom cap (5) has a thread rod (51) to connect with inner threads (33), (42) of the rings (3), (4) and has inner threads (52) formed in its side flange to connect with outer threads (41) of the outer ring (4), as shown in FIG. 4.
Further referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the soft shell (1) has its inner space fulfill with sticky liquid (12), such as silicon glue. A top cap (6) is covered thereon to seal the handle, which will become a really soft handle.
Under above assembly, the present invention can use a threaded rod (61) on the top cap (6) to connect with other products, such as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, including an umbrella, a comb, or a hair drier. Since the shell (1) with inner sticky liquid (12) is very soft, the products with the handle of the present invention can be used comfortable even a long time use. In FIGS. 13 and 14, the handle of the present invention has threaded rods (53), (61) on both caps (5), (6) for applying on a brief case that will also be a utilized embodiment. Moreover, the bottom cap (5) can be modified to be a ball cap (5a) (FIG. 15), or a cylinder cap (5b) (FIG. 16) as desired.
Now, please refer to FIGS. 7 to 9, the present invention is provided with a sleeve (7) to instead the supports (2) in previous embodiment. The sleeve (7) has top and bottom thread portions (71) to connect with top and bottom caps (5), (6). Beneath bottom plate (70) of the sleeve (7), there are several apertures (72) for liquid (12) passing through as the sleeve (7) is put in the shell (1). The liquid (12) will be therefore fulfilled in the inner space of the shell (1) to provide a utilized soft handle.
In above description, they are only embodiments to illustrate our embodiment and are not to limit the scope of this application. Any modified embodiments with similar merits are also claimed according to the present invention.
