A sports paddle for use in striking an object during play comprises a head including a first base layer and a first support layer. The first base layer has an exposed, first base surface that is configured to contact the object during play, and a first opposed base surface. Additionally, the first base layer is formed from a first material. The first support layer has a first support surface that substantially faces the first opposed base surface. The first support surface is only partially exposed. Additionally, the first support layer is formed from a second material that is different than the first material. The first base surface and the first support surface cooperate to form a first hitting surface that is configured to contact the object during play.
122 VARIABLE STIFFNESS STRIKING IMPLEMENT US14957957 2015-12-03 US20160158613A1 2016-06-09 George W. Burger; James M. Earley
A variable stiffness striking implement, such as, for example, a ball bat typically used in baseball, softball, or rubber ball. The striking implement, preferably has a separate barrel and handle and includes a variable stiffness assembly which results in the user being able to adjust stiffness. This is accomplished by the user selecting a stiffness member having a desired hardness and inserting the selected stiffness around the handle and abutting the end of the barrel closest to the handle end and using a cap to hold the stiffness member in place, or, if desired by the user, the striking implement may be used without a stiffness member.

130 Fine-grained metallic coatings having the coeficient of thermal expansion matched to one of the substrate US13025487 2011-02-11 US08129034B2 2012-03-06 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.

136 Ball bats US12655632 2010-01-04 US20100184540A1 2010-07-22 Steven C. Sims; Gary Sims; Greg Winters; Jonathan F. Seil
Ball bats comprising a stem and a handle surrounding the stem. An elastomeric decoupler system installed in the handle sharply reduces the transmission of shocks and vibrations from the stem to the handle, mitigating stinging and other unpleasant sensations experienced by the batter when a ball is struck. Unpleasant sensations can be further reduced by installing a DTMS damping device in the knob of the bat and by installing an elastomeric grip on the handle of the bat; and the unpleasant sound made when a bat strikes the ground or the like can be materially reduced by a device attached to the stem of the bat intermediate the ends of the handle. The present inventions are particularly adaptable to hollow, metal bats; and provision is made for venting the knob of the bat when it is welded in place so hot gases will not be forced into, and reduce the integrity of, the weld. Appropriate ones of the devices described above may also advantageously be employed in wood, composite, and other bats.
137 Sports Impact Point Indicator US12606657 2009-10-27 US20100160061A1 2010-06-24 Grant Ashley Cameron; Victor Camaj
A sports impact point indicator of planar form has a rear surface with a contact adhesive for adhering the indicator to the face of a golf club or bat, and the indicator is sized to cover a major portion of the face of the club or bat. The indicator comprises an upper sheet and base layer which are releasably adhesive together under pressure such that they will adhere together at the impact point when the club or bat is used to strike a ball, to indicate the impact point. The indicator can be erased by wiping a user finger or thumb across it top surface.
