Abstract
A curling handle assembly mounts on a stone body to form a curling stone. The assembly has a connector inserted into the top side of the stone body. A support body extends outwardly from the connector to clamp against the stone body using a fastener threaded through the stone body to the connector. A connector body joins a handle body to be gripped by a user spaced above the support body. An electronic assembly arranged for measuring a performance characteristic is received within cavities integrally moulded into the handle body, the connector body or the support body. A lower contact surface of the support body includes an annular potion at a periphery of the handle assembly that forms first contact of the support body with the top side of the stone body as the support body is clamped against the top side of the stone body by the threaded fastener.
