In top university, carry out laboratory test, assessment is arranged on the multiple lever on bat.In test, the bat with different levers is suspended on ceiling by fine rule; This has caused a situation that almost there is no boundary condition, and this is that to measure the genuine property of bat necessary.On specially-made sleeve, two kinds of standard industry accelerometers are installed in general position of bracing up with the right hand leftward.With the jump bit through calibration of standard, three positions, give the power that bat is known, one of them is optimum batting point (sweet spot), and other two positions are to be positioned at the intermediate point of bat and bat " wiping excellent point (miss hit) " position of upper simulation.The time relationship of power and acceleration is followed the tracks of and is connected to data acquisition unit by Signal Conditioning Equipment.Data acquisition unit is connected to the computer for record data.
Two serial tests have been carried out.In the first test, control group bat (having standard rubbers lever WORTH bat model #C405) and the same bat that represents some " stingless (sting-free) " lever of practice of the present invention are compared.These " stingless " levers are by two-layer pure silicon ketone and between two-layer silicone, be inserted with forming of polytype high tensile fibrous material.The fiber type that the KEVLAR using in this test has a high-tensile aromatic polyamides is by as lower label: " 005 ", " 645 ", " 120 ", " 909 ".In addition, tested the thick-layer with single silicone and the bat that there is no KEVLAR.Except thick silicone (because excessive thickness is considered to unpractical), " 645 " bat shows the best effect that reduces magnitude of vibrations.
Use " 645 " KEVLAR to carry out the test of second series with the EASTON bat (model #BK8) of the combination of different following layer of silicone: the first bat of testing is by the middle level of one deck silicone bottom, " 645 " KEVLAR and one deck silicone top layer formation that is called " 111 ".The second bat of testing is by the middle level of two silicone bottoms, KEVLAR and one deck silicone top layer formation that is called " 211 ".The 3rd bat of testing consists of middle level and the silicone top layer of two-layer being called " 112 " of one deck silicone bottom, KEVLAR." 645 " bat with " 111 " configuration shows the best effect that reduces magnitude of vibrations.
For the effect that vibration is reduced quantizes, limit following two standards: how long (1) cost makes dissipation of vibrations arrive imperceptible value; And (2) are in the size of the most responsive frequency range internal vibration of people's hand.
According to above two kinds of quantitative measurments, confirm that stingless lever reduces the vibration of bat.Particularly, in " 111 ", the configuration containing " 645 " KEVLAR is the preferred example that vibration reduces.The in the situation that of bat, compared with the rubber lever of control group bat, " 645 " have spent the vibration that time of approximately 1/5 reduces bat.Depend on impact position and impact size, the decrease of the peak size of vibration is in 60% to 80% scope.
Can draw to draw a conclusion: in " 111 ", containing " 645 " KEVLAR lever, make the size of the appreciable vibration that sportsman brings out in bat with bat square stance reduce 80%.In the multiple impact of the diverse location along bat length, all confirmed said circumstances.Therefore,, compared with using standard lever, when using " stingless " of the present invention lever, the people while using " stingless " lever can clearly experience shouting pain effect (pain) and significantly reduce.
In view of above-mentioned test, particularly preferred practice of the present invention relates to layer laminates, and layer laminates has aromatic polyamides between the layer that mode with sandwich style is clipped in each pure silicon ketone as KEVLAR.The test of above-mentioned appointment shows attractive result according to the embodiment of the present invention.Yet also as discussed above, laminated material can comprise the combination of other layers, for example a plurality of silicone bottoms or a plurality of silicone top layer.Other variants comprise the laminated material assembly of following repetition.Wherein, vibration damping layer is at innermost layer, and power dissipation layer is relative with bottom vibration damping layer, then the second vibration damping layer is configured on power dissipation layer, configure subsequently the second power dissipation layer, by that analogy, last one deck of laminated material is the grasping layer that also can be made by shock material again.When determining to use which kind of laminated material, should consider thickness limits and required vibration damping character.
Multiple layer can have different relative thickness.Preferably, if the vibration damping layer of layer 222 can be the thickest layer.Yet the outermost layer that grasps can have the thickness identical with the vibration damping layer of layer 224 as shown in Figure 4; Because outer field major function is to provide enough frictions to guarantee firm grasp motion, so grasp layer, can be also thinner layer.In the present invention, make firmly the to dissipate useful especially feature of rigid layer is that power dissipation layer can very thin and still be realized its predetermined result.Therefore,, although power dissipation layer can have identical with outer grip layer substantially thickness, power dissipation layer is the thinnest layer preferably.If needed, laminated material also can comprise a plurality of dissipation of vibrations layers (as the thin layer of gel rubber material) and/or a plurality ofly add powerful dissipation layer.When using such a plurality of layers, each layer can differ from one another on thickness.
