222 Method and apparatus for making metal ball bats US11307353 2006-02-02 US07328599B2 2008-02-12 Thu Van Nguyen
A process for manufacturing a hollow metal ball bat includes forming a shell into a tubular shape using a pilger mill. The wall thickness of the tube shell is reduced by drawing the tube shell with the draw bench. A handle section and a taper section are created using the pilger mill. The handle is drawn through a draw bench, and the handle and taper sections are swaged.
223 Fine-grained metallic coatings having the coefficient of thermal expansion matched to the one of the substrate US11297805 2005-12-09 US07320832B2 2008-01-22 Gino Palumbo; Jonathan McCrea; Klaus Tomantschger; Iain Brooks; Daehyun Jeong; Dave Limoges; Konstantinos Panagiotopoulos; Uwe Erb
Fine-grained (average grain size 1 nm to 1,000 nm) metallic coatings optionally containing solid particulates dispersed therein are disclosed. The fine-grained metallic materials are significantly harder and stronger than conventional coatings of the same chemical composition due to Hall-Petch strengthening and have low linear coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs). The invention provides means for matching the CTE of the fine-grained metallic coating to the one of the substrate by adjusting the composition of the alloy and/or by varying the chemistry and volume fraction of particulates embedded in the coating. The fine-grained metallic coatings are particularly suited for strong and lightweight articles, precision molds, sporting goods, automotive parts and components exposed to thermal cycling. The low CTEs and the ability to match the CTEs of the fine-grained metallic coatings with the CTEs of the substrate minimize dimensional changes during thermal cycling and prevent premature failure.

225 Bat with an identification device US11504770 2006-08-16 US20070042844A1 2007-02-22 John Stote; Kevin Schullstrom
A system and method for positively identifying a sports bat to ensure the bat has not been tampered or otherwise altered after manufacture includes an RFID tag that is embedded in the bat during the manufacturing process. The RFID tag stores information related to the individual bat. In competition, the information stored in the embedded RFID tag is read using an RFID reading device. If a bat is modified or otherwise altered after manufacture, the RFID tag will be damaged or missing from the modified bat. In that case, the RFID reading device will be unable to properly read the RFID tag and the information stored on the tag, and the bat may be considered “not approved for play.” In a similar fashion, the RFID tag may also be used to track and maintain inventory control, while ensuring the bat remains in the same condition as when it was manufactured.

239 Laminated wood bat and method of making same US745185 1996-11-07 US5800293A 1998-09-01 Jack W. MacKay, Jr.
A laminated wood ball bat and a method of making the same. The bat is constructed of a plurality of thin wood veneer strips extending longitudinally in generally parallel relation throughout the length of the bat and are bonded together throughout their facing surfaces. The method of forming the bat includes the steps of placing large sheets of thin wood veneer in stacked relation in the cavity of a press with glue being applied to the contacting surfaces of the stacked sheets of veneer. The press exerts pressure on the veneer sheets to densify and compress the stacked veneer sheets while the glue is cured to form a large laminated panel having a thickness of half bat billets. One surface of each half bat billet panel is optionally grooved to form a core in the hitting zone to optionally receive material less dense or more dense than the wood veneer and a recess in the handle portion to receive a reinforcing rod. Two half bat billet panels are placed in a press cavity with the facing surfaces being glue coated to form a laminated full thickness bat billet panel which is then cut into substantially identical square bat billets. The laminated square, cured bat billets are formed into the desired bat configuration in a lathe and a final finish is applied.
