Fin grip with independently adjustable arms
A grip assembly includes a first grip arm, a base member integrally formed with the first grip arm, a second grip arm movably coupled to and independently positionable relative to the first grip arm and a fastener securing the second grip arm relative to the first grip arm.
1. A grip assembly comprising:
a base member;
an intermediate member independently positionable into a first position of a first plurality of lockable positions relative to the base member, the intermediate member being removably coupled to the base member;
a first pair of grip arms comprising a first grip arm removably coupled to the intermediate member into a second plurality of lockable positions and a second grip arm independently positionable relative to the first grip arm into a third plurality of lockable positions relative to the intermediate member different from the second plurality of lockable positions.
2. The grip assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein the intermediate member comprises a first plurality of teeth that engage a second plurality of teeth disposed on the base member.
3. The grip assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein the first pair of grip arms comprise a third plurality of teeth that engage a fourth plurality of teeth on the first pair of grip arms.
4. The grip assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein the first pair of grip arms comprise first plurality of projections disposed on a first arm of the first pair of grip arms and a second plurality of projections disposed of on a second arm of the first pair of grip arms.
5. The grip assembly as recited in claim 4 further comprising a retainer coupled to the first plurality of projections and the second plurality of projections.
6. The grip assembly as recited in claim 5 wherein the retainer comprises a grip portion.
7. The grip assembly as recited in claim 5 wherein the retainer comprises a retaining strap.
8. The grip assembly as recited in claim 5 wherein the retainer comprises a first opening and a second opening partially defined by a cross member.
9. A method of positioning a grip assembly comprising:
independently positioning an intermediate member relative to a base member in a first position of a first plurality of lockable positions;
removably coupling the intermediate member to the base member;
removably coupling a first pair of grip arms to the intermediate member, said first pair of grip arms comprising a first grip arm and a second grip arm;
positioning said first grip arm into a second plurality of lockable positions relative to the intermediate member; and
removably coupling a second grip arm to the intermediate member, said second grip arm independently positionable into a third plurality of lockable positions different from the second plurality of lockable positions using a first fastener.
10. The method of claim 9 further comprising coupling a retainer between a first arm of the first pair of grip arms and a second arm of the first pair of grip arms.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein coupling the retainer comprises coupling the retainer by coupling the retainer to a first projection on a first arm of the first pair of grip arms and a second projection on a second arm of the first pair of grip arms.
12. The method of claim 9 further comprising removably coupling a second pair of grip arms to the intermediate member in a third position of a third plurality of lockable positions using a second fastener.
