Abstract:
1. A handle assembly utilized with a concrete screed board to smooth a surface of wet concrete, providing a pair of separate screed handles, each screed handle for engagement with a separate arm of an operator and formed in a mirror image of one another, each said screed handle comprising: a shaft defining a linear axis and having a lower end defining a board attaching means attached to the common screed board, and an upper end forming a multiple bend leveraged grip portion, said grip portion further defining a first section bending perpendicular to said linear axis, a second section extending perpendicularly from said first section away from said shaft and having an upward transitional bend placed above said linear axis, a third section extending perpendicular to said linear axis and parallel to said first section, a fourth curved section extending downward and back towards said first section, and terminating below said linear axis and further transitioning into a fifth section extending back towards said second section, said fifth section below said linear axis, said third section above said linear axis and said first section along perpendicular to said linear axis, thus providing said first section for each said operator's respective hand to grasp, said third section for positioning against said operator's respective upper forearm and said fifth section for positioning against said operator's respective lower forearm, wherein said handles are adapted to provide the operator with more control over the screed board during the concrete finishing process.
