This invention relates generally to grips or handles for office, industrial or household devices, which have an anti-microbial treatment so that the transfer of germs and bacterium from one handler to another is reduced or eliminated.
2. Description of the Related Art
It is very common for people to share hand held products such as office products, industrial and household tools. This is especially true in manufacturing facilities where multiple workers share the same tools. For instance, in a circuit board fabrication facility, soldering irons for soldering or desoldering components to circuit boards arc often shared by workers in subsequent shifts. One of the problems of sharing such tools is that germs and bacterium may pass from the hands of one person to the tool and from the tool to another person. This may lead to workers becoming sick and unable to work, which lowers the productivity of the workers. Therefore, there is a need for reducing the chance of spreading germs through people's hand as they share things such as office or industrial products and tools.
