Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a blade member, more particularly to a blade member to be connected to a shaft of a hockey stick or the like.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , aconventional blade member 1 is shown to include ahollow shell 11 made of carbon fibers, and asilica gel 12 filled within thehollow shell 11. Thesilica gel 12 serves to absorb impact momentum transferred from thehollow shell 11. However, since thesilica gel 12 has a relatively high density, the overall weight of theblade member 1 is increased. Therefore, it is relatively inconvenient to use a hockey stick fitted with theblade member 1. - U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,195 discloses a blade construction including a blade body, which has a first face member, a second face member opposite to the first face member, and a core cavity member sandwiched between the first and second face members. The first and second face members are made of fiber reinforced plastic materials. The core cavity member includes rib bridge members and elongated pockets. The rib bridge members are made of fiber reinforced plastic materials. Each of the pockets is separated from an adjacent one by a corresponding one of the rib bridge members. The pockets may be filled with a light foam material, such as polyurethane, for maintaining a fiber component in the rib bridge members in a transverse configuration during curing. The impact resistance of the face members can be increased via the use of the fiber reinforced plastic materials, and the light foam material can absorb the impact transferred from the face members. However, the configuration of the first and second face members integrated with the core cavity member is relatively complicated. Therefore, it is relatively difficult to mold the aforesaid blade construction.
- It is desirable to provide a blade member for a hockey stick with a good balance of properties, such as high structural strength, good impact absorption, good swing to impact feeling, light weight, etc. Additionally, easy processing of the blade member is an important consideration for manufacturers.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a blade member to be connected to a shaft of a hockey stick or the like, which can provide good balance of the properties described above.
- Accordingly, the blade member of this invention includes an elongated hollow blade body, a flexible damping portion, and an interface portion. The elongated hollow blade body defines a receiving cavity, and is made of a fiber reinforced resin composite. The flexible damping portion is disposed within the elongated hollow blade body, and is made of cork. The interface portion is disposed between the elongated hollow blade body and the flexible damping portion.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
-
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a conventional blade member for a hockey stick; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the first preferred embodiment of a blade member according to this invention; -
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary partly cutaway perspective view of the first preferred embodiment; -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the first preferred embodiment; -
FIG. 5 illustrates results of a test for comparing the damping effects of the blade member of the first preferred embodiment and the conventional blade member; and -
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view of the second preferred embodiment of a blade member according to this invention. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , the first preferred embodiment of ablade member 2 according to this invention is shown to be connected to ashaft 31 of a hockey stick 3 at alower end portion 33 of theshaft 31. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , theblade member 2 includes an elongatedhollow blade body 21, aflexible damping portion 22, and aninterface portion 23. The elongatedhollow blade body 21 has aninner surface 211 defining areceiving cavity 24, and anouter surface 212 opposite to theinner surface 211. The elongatedhollow blade body 21 is made of a fiber reinforced resin composite. - The
flexible damping portion 22 is disposed within the receivingcavity 24 of the elongatedhollow blade body 21, and is made of cork. Theinterface portion 23 is disposed between the elongatedhollow blade body 21 and theflexible damping portion 22, and includes afirst interface layer 231 and asecond interface layer 232. Thefirst interface layer 231 of theinterface portion 23 is proximate to theflexible damping portion 22, and is made of a viscoelastic adhesive material. Thesecond interface layer 232 of theinterface portion 23 is proximate to the elongatedhollow blade body 21, and is made of a polymer composite having high toughness. Preferably, the polymer composite is a composition of fibers and resin. - In use, a hockey puck (not shown) strikes the
outer surface 212 of the elongatedhollow blade body 21, which is made of fiber reinforced resin composite. Since the fiber reinforced resin composite has properties of high structural rigidity and strength, the elongatedhollow blade body 21 can resist the high impact imposed by the hockey puck so as to sustain the structural integrity of theblade member 2. Theflexible damping portion 22 is made of cork, which is a flexible material, and which has a damping effect. Therefore, the high impact transferred through the elongatedhollow blade body 21 can be absorbed by theflexible damping portion 22 effectively so as to reduce the vibration of theblade member 2. Furthermore, thefirst interface layer 231 of theinterface portion 23 also has the vibration absorbing effect so as to further enhance the damping effect. - The results of a test for comparing the damping effect of the
blade member 2 of this invention and a conventional blade member composed of wood sheet and glass fiber adhered on the wood sheet are illustrated onFIG. 5 , in which X scale indicates the time for vibration reduction (sec) and Y scale indicates the vibration response (g/N). The maximum vibration of the conventional blade member is 5.25 g/N, whereas the maximum vibration of the blade member of this invention is 2.65 g/N. The vibration value of the blade member of this invention is about half of that of the conventional blade member at any analysis time. Furthermore, the blade member of this invention stops vibrating after 3 seconds. However, the conventional blade member stops vibrating after 8 seconds, which is much longer than that of the blade member of this invention. - Additionally, since cork is a relatively light material, the overall weight of the blade member of this invention can be reduced by 15-40% as compared to that of the conventional blade member.
- Referring to
FIG. 6 , the second preferred embodiment of the blade member of this invention is shown to be substantially identical to the first preferred embodiment in construction, except that theblade member 2 further includes animpact absorbing member 25 which is composed of a plurality ofimpact absorbing units 25′ having similar configurations. Theimpact absorbing units 25′ are embedded in theflexible damping portion 22 in a spaced manner so as to further enhance the damping effect. Alternatively, theimpact absorbing member 25 can be formed as a unitaryimpact absorbing unit 25′ or as a plurality ofimpact absorbing unit 25′ having different configurations. In this preferred embodiment, theimpact absorbing member 25 is made of rubber. Alternatively, other suitable materials, such as a porous material, engineering plastic, wood, foaming material (like foam), medium density fiberboard, paper, cotton, cloth, and the like, can be used when making theimpact absorbing member 25. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
