Abstract
An inner collar is co-axially aligned with a longitudinal axis of an outer collar. The outer and inner collars are and separated by a gap. A plurality of ribs disposed within the gap and interconnect the inner collar to the outer collar. The inner collar defining an interior passage. A channel disposed within the outer collar and the inner collar. The channel extending along the longitudinal axis and opening at one side into the passage and opening at an opposite side exteriorly of the outer collar. The outer collar, inner collar, and plurality of ribs are constructed of a resiliently deformable material thereby allowing the outer and inner collars to resiliently deform for removably receiving a tubular container grip and allowing the outer collar and the plurality of ribs to resiliently deform for increasing gripping capabilities of a human hand.
