RC END CAP CONCEPT 2

grabcad

FOR THIS NEW CONCEPT I WAS INSPIRED BY THE WAY A BUTTERFLY BOLT WORKS. THE DESIGN USES THE SAME END CAPS FOR EITHER END OF THE GRIP TAPE. THE PARTS HAVE A SPLIT LINE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO EXPAND FOR THE DIFFERENT SIZE BAR DIAMETERS. THE EXPANDING GRAB CLAW LATCHES ONTO THE INNER WALL OF THE BAR AND SYNCHES DOWN THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT THE CAP FALLING OFF OR COMING LOOSE. -RC
