Patent ID: 7137904

Claim:
A golf club grip assembly comprising: a resilient underlisting sleeve formed at its upper end with a cap and at its lower end with a nipple; a flange cooperating to define a downwardly facing circumferential slot formed on the underside of the cap when such cap is made, the cap configured and constructed such that the flange is unable to be completely flipped in a reverse direction; an upwardly facing groove formed in the upper portion of the nipple, the outer portion of the groove being defined by a flexible circumferential lip, with the lip being expandable outwardly; a resilient strip spirally wrapped about and adhered to the underlisting sleeve between the lower portion of the cap and the upper portion of the nipple with the upper edge of the resilient strip being inserted into the circumferential cap slot so as to be firmly locked therein; and the circumferential nipple lip being expandable outwardly to receive the lower end of the resilient strip within the groove, with the cap slot and nipple groove cooperating to thereby restrain the entire length of the strip from unraveling from the underlisting sleeve.
