7438655, Oct 21, 2008

Filed:

May 30, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/755173

Inventors:

Gregory Isaac Garcia - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

Warrior Sports, Inc. - Warren MI

International Classification:

A63B 59/14

US Classification:

473563

Abstract:

A composite hockey stick blade having a rib stiffening system. The rib stiffening system consists of one or more internal wall structures, or ribs, located within strategic portions of the rear face of the paddle that provides localized regions of increased longitudinal stiffness located within the overall structure of the paddle. These ribs may also control the torsional rigidity of the paddle. The ribs also reduce the weight of the blade without reducing the stiffness and rigidity of the blade. The hockey stick blade may be utilized as a replacement blade for a two-piece hockey stick, or may be a portion of a one-piece hockey stick.

International Classification:

B65H 81/06
B29C 70/34

US Classification:

156194, 156245

Abstract:

A composite hockey stick and related method of manufacture is provided. The hockey stick includes a blade joined with a tapered and elongated hosel that is further joined with an elongated handle or shaft. The method includes providing a cured blade, bladder-molding the elongated hosel while partially seated within the cured blade, and bladder-molding the shaft while partially seated within the cured hosel. The hosel can be tapered to have a toe-to-heel width that decreases and a side-to-side width increases as the hosel extends upwardly from the blade. The hosel can extend greater than the length of the blade to emphasize the gradual transition from the blade cross-section to the shaft cross-section. The resulting hockey stick can improve energy transfer during play while also providing a streamlined appearance and an improved resistance to breaking.

Inventors:

- Warren MI, US
Gregory Isaac Garcia - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

A63B 59/14

Abstract:

An improved hockey stick blade is provided. The hockey stick blade generally includes a forward face defining a substantially zero degree face angle and a lower terminating edge that increases friction and allows a player to generate more bending in the shaft during shooting and passing motions. The lower terminating edge extends along substantially the entire length of the hockey stick blade, and is defined by an angle when viewed in cross-section. The forward face includes an upper terminating edge in vertical alignment with the lower terminating edge, such that the forward face is generally parallel to the playing surface. The upper terminating edge also extends along substantially the entire length of the hockey stick blade, and is also defined by an angle when viewed in cross-section.
