of the foam resin layer 20 has a molded curvature which conforms to the grip of the user and which tapers or transitions to the outer surfaces of the front and rear areas 12 and 13 of the rigid support substrate 11 with which foam layer 20 interfaces for a smooth feel and appearance the rigid plastic substrate 11 illustrated by the drawings is a preferred substrate in that it permits the foam layer to expand partially into the plurality of wrap around slots 18 of the substrate 11 during the foam forming expansion and formation of the foam layer 20 to produce wrap around integration and bonding moreover the compressibility and feel of the foam layer 20 to the grip of the user is uniform since the soft foam layer can be compressed into the wrap around slots to provide uniform temporary 34 give 34 in all radial directions the foam layer 20 returning to its molded shape when hand pressure is relaxed the present comfort grip handle 10 may be made from two different thermoplastic resins in a two step standard injection molding process the first step of the manufacturing process is to injection mold the rigid substrate 11 from a high impact strength resin such as a polycarbonate resin processed at the recommended molding conditions after the substrate 11 is molded it is allowed to cure to room temperature to obtain all the mechanical properties of the molded polycarbonate resin the second step of the process involves injection molding the over mold foam layer 20 over and around the polycarbonate substrate 11 by first inserting and supporting the substrate 11 centered within the injection mold a preferred overmold material a melt processible rubber is a halogenated ethylene interpolymer elastomer with a durometer of 60 shore a the.
