Abstract
A sporting goods set consists of bat assembly and a number of balls contained, when not in use, in a chamber defined within the body of the bat. A closure member is securely but displaceably engaged with the body to maintain the balls in stored condition.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/194,115, filed Apr. 3, 2000 in the name of Jacob Dunnack.
- A number of popular sports games, including for example baseball, softball, golf, tennis, and ice and field hockey, are played by striking objects (i.e., balls and pucks) with bats of suitable form (variously referred to as clubs, rackets, and sticks). Because the bats and the driven objects are necessarily used together as functional sets, the convenience of storage and transport would be enhanced by providing means for readily maintaining the components of the set in assembly with one another. Hollow molded plastic bats are of course known in the art.
- Accordingly, it is the broad object of the present invention to provide a novel sporting goods set wherein the driving component and the driven components of the set are readily maintained in assembly with one another.
- A more specific object of the invention is to provide such a sporting goods set which is self-contained, and in which the components are maintained in assembly without need for any extraneous means.
- A further specific object of the invention is to provide such a sporting goods set comprised of a baseball- or softball-style bat, and a plurality of balls.
- It has now been found that certain of the foregoing and related objects of the invention are attained by the provision of a sporting goods set comprised of a bat assembly and a plurality of objects adapted for being driven thereby. The bat assembly is constructed for containment concurrently of the plurality of objects, and is comprised of a relatively rigid body and an attached closure member, the body defining at least a portion of a chamber and an opening thereinto. The closure member serves to at least substantially close the opening, and is displaceable to provide access to the stored objects, and replaceable for use.
- In preferred embodiments the bat assembly will simulate a conventional baseball or softball bat, and each of objects to be driven will correspondingly be in the form of a baseball or a softball. The body of such a bat assembly will normally be rectilinear and of generally circular cross section along substantially its entire length, and it will comprise a relatively small diameter handle portion at one end, a relatively large diameter, generally cylindrical portion at the opposite end, and a generally conical transition portion therebetween. The cylindrical portion of the body defines the ball-containing chamber portion, and has an open end defining the chamber access opening. Typically, a bat assembly of baseball form will be about 20 to 34 inches in length and about 2.5 to 3.25 inches in a diameter (measured at the cylindrical portion).
- The closure member will advantageously include a generally cylindrical, open-ended sidewall portion interengaged with the generally cylindrical portion of the body for closing the open end thereof (and vice versa); the cylindrical portions of the body and closure member will advantageously be telescopically interengaged. To secure the parts in assembly, one of the interengaged portions may have at least one projecting lug thereon with the other portion having a circumferentially extending channel section positioned for engagement with the lug, as by relative rotation of the parts, and a longitudinally extending channel section may lead inwardly to the circumferentially extending section to facilitate access thereto by the projecting lug(s). Displacement of the closure member may entail a mere change of position, while remaining attached, or it may entail the complete removal of the member. Contiguous exterior surfaces of the bat body and of the closure member will desirably lie substantially flush with one another, and exterior circumferential marginal elements thereof will desirably mate with one another with substantially no gap therebetween, thereby cooperatively providing a uniform hitting surface.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a bat assembly and associated balls embodying the sporting goods set of the invention, the closure member being removed from the body of the bat assembly;
- FIG. 2 is exploded sectional view of the bat assembly of FIG. 1, taken along a longitudinal centerline of the assembly and showing two balls contained within the storage chamber of the body; and
- FIG. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of the bat assembly of the foregoing Figures, drawn to an enlarged scale and showing the closure member replaced with the cylindrical portions of the assembled parts telescopically interengaged.
- Turning now in detail to the appended drawing, therein illustrated is a bat assembly, in the nature of a baseball or softball bat, embodying the present invention. It consists of a body, generally designated by the
numeral 10, and a closure cap generally designated by thenumeral 12, each of which is of relatively rigid, one-piece molded plastic construction (i.e., sufficiently rigid to permit his use for effective driving of a ball). - The
body 10 of the assembly is hollow throughout, and is of generally circular cross section along its entire length. It consists of a relatively small diameter handle section at one end, a relatively large, uniform diametercylindrical section 16 at the distal end, and aconical transition section 18 therebetween; acavity portion 20 is defined within thecylindrical section 16. - The
closure cap 12 consists of a somewhatdomed wall portion 24 closing one end of a generally cylindrical sidewall portion, the later consisting ofcontiguous sections 26A and 26B and cooperating with theend wall portion 24 to define aninternal cavity 28. Section 26B has an outside diameter that is slightly larger than is that ofsection 26A. - Pairs of small, axially aligned
lugs 30 project inwardly from diametrically disposed locations on the distalcylindrical section 16 of thebody 10, adjacent the entrance to thecavity portion 20. Corresponding, generally F-shaped channels 32 are molded into thecylindrical sidewall section 26A of theclosure cap 12. - As will be self-evident, the
cap 12 is assembled with thebody 10 by inserting theconical sidewall section 26A into thecavity portion 20, through the distal end entrance, with each pair oflugs 30 initially moving along the axially extending section of the corresponding F-shaped channel 32. When the cap sidewall is inserted to its full depth, onelug 30 of each pair will register with a corresponding circumferential section of the F-shaped channel 32, enabling thecap 12 to be secured in place, by relative rotation. Although not illustrated, increased tightness and security can be afforded by inclining the circumferential groove sections somewhat (relative to a transaxial plane), and/or by forming slight jogs at the ends thereof for seating the engaged lugs. Also, the closure need not be fully removable, and might for example take the form of a displaceable lid, connected to the body (as by a living hinge) and held in closed position by a snap-fit fastener. - As will be appreciated, and as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, three
balls 34 can be contained in thecavity portion 20 of thebat body 10, for storage and transport. Because of its uniform internal diameter, thecavity portion 20 is well suited for the receipt and dispensing of the balls, which are readily accessed by removal of thecap 12. - FIG. 3 shows the substantially flush contiguous exterior surfaces of the
cylindrical portion 16 of thebat assembly body 10 and the sidewall portion 26B of theclosure cap 12, as well the absence of any significant gap between the mating exterior circumferential marginal elements. Such construction avoids protrusions, recesses, and irregularities that might cause unintended deflection of a struck ball. - The concepts of the present invention are, as noted above, applicable to equipment used for sports games other than baseball and softball, including for example golf, tennis, hockey, etc. The dimensions, configuration, and location of the containment cavity formed within the bat (club, racket, stick, etc.) of any such sporting goods set, as well as the construction of the closure member, will be such as to provide a suitable space for storage of the associated driven objects (balls, pucks, etc.) while, at the same time, maintaining the desired visual and conceptual integrity of the assembly.
- Although in most instances the parts of the bat assembly will optimally be formed by molding of a suitable synthetic plastic material, metal and wood may be employed as appropriate and if so desired. The lug-and-groove arrangement described constitutes only one form of securing mechanism for best maintaining the parts against inadvertent disassembly, and of course other suitable arrangements may be substituted (or frictional interengagement alone may be relied upon), as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. As will also be appreciated, many additional modifications may be made to the apparatus of the invention without departure from the novel concepts disclosed.
- Thus, it can be seen that the present invention provides a novel, self-contained sporting goods set comprised of components that are readily maintained in assembly with one another, without need for any extraneous means. In a specific embodiment the invention provides a sporting goods set comprised of a baseball- or softball-style bat, and a plurality of corresponding balls.
