Abstract

The present invention discloses a grip fractioning pattern for any object, but specifically designed for handgun and rifle grips. The pattern consists of a series of spaces frusto-conical projections regularly spaced about the surface of the weapon's grip. Alternatively, the series may be interrupted by an interspaced series of pyramids, with their points not extending above the height of the frusto-conical projections. The grip pattern may be utilized in any circumstance where a user desires greater and more comfortable friction when gripping an object.

Claims (6)

1. A fractioning pattern for any type of gripping surface oomprising:

a. a repeated series of a plurality of uniform frusto-conical projections, each projection having a base, a height, a center defined by a conical axis and a diameter defined at the base of the projection, positioned on a gripping surface; and;

b. a plurality of pyramid projections, interspersed within the series of frusto-conical projections.

2. The fractioning pattern of claim 1 , each pyramid projection having a height no higher than the height of a frusto-conical projection.

3. The fractioning pattern of claim 2 , wherein the shape of the pyramid projections is chosen from the group of shapes consisting of: a cone, a three-sided pyramid, a four-sided pyramid, a five-sided pyramid and a six-sided pyramid.

4. The fractioning pattern of claim 1 , each pyramid projection having a height no greater than the height of a frusto-conical projection.
