Patent attributes
A side handle assembly comprises a handle configured to be gripped by a user, a rod coaxially coupled the handle and rotationally fixed to the handle, and a clamp coupled to the rod. The clamp includes a flexible band enclosing an area and having a first end and a second end, a first connection block coupled to the first end of the flexible band, and a second connection block coupled to the second end of the flexible band. The rod includes an annular shoulder abutted with the first connection block and a threaded portion received within a threaded bore of the second connection block. In response to the handle being rotated in a first direction, the second connection block is moved closer to the first connection block along the threaded portion of the rod, decreasing the area enclosed by the flexible band.
