CUSTOM, USER-SPECIFIC FIREARM GRIP AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240343000 titled 'CUSTOM, USER-SPECIFIC FIREARM GRIP AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
The patent application describes methods for producing custom hand grips that are shaped to fit the hand of a specific user, including firearm, sporting equipment, and tool hand grips.
- A sleeve of moldable material is applied to an internal frame in the shape of the desired handle, forming a moldable hand grip.
- The user grips the moldable material, deforming it to conform to their hand, creating a molded hand grip.
- The molded hand grip is scanned three-dimensionally to produce an electronic file containing information defining its shape.
- The electronic file is used to produce a custom hand grip through machining and/or additive manufacturing processes.
Potential Applications: - Custom firearm grips for improved ergonomics and comfort. - Tailored sporting equipment grips for enhanced performance. - Personalized tool grips for better handling and control.
Problems Solved: - Provides a solution for users with unique hand shapes or preferences. - Offers a comfortable and secure grip for various applications.
Benefits: - Increased user comfort and control. - Enhanced performance and accuracy. - Customization options for individual needs.
Commercial Applications: Title: Custom Hand Grip Manufacturing for Firearms and Sporting Equipment This technology can be utilized by firearm manufacturers, sports equipment companies, and tool manufacturers to offer personalized grips to their customers, enhancing user experience and satisfaction.
Questions about Custom Hand Grips: 1. How does the three-dimensional scanning process contribute to the customization of hand grips? 2. What are the potential cost implications of producing custom hand grips through machining and additive manufacturing processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods for producing custom hand grips that are shaped to fit the hand of a specific user, and custom hand grips produced by the method. a sleeve of moldable material is applied to an internal frame in the shape of the desired handle, forming a moldable hand grip. the user grips the moldable material, deforming the moldable material to be shaped to conform to the hand of the user, forming a molded hand grip. the molded firearm hand grip is then scanned three dimensionally to produce an electronic file(s) containing information defining the exterior shape of the molded firearm grip. the electronic file is then used to produce a custom hand grip by machining and/or additive manufacturing processes. the invention includes methods and structures for all types of hand grips, including but not limited to firearm, sporting equipment and tool hand grips.
