The socket is provided with an inner perimeter and outer perimeter. The outer perimeter has a proximal end proximal a mouth for receiving the lacrosse handle and a distal end distal the proximal end, the distal end being larger than the proximal end. The outer perimeter is substantially smooth.
Description
- This application claims benefit of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/807,925 filed Mar. 24, 2004, entitled “Lacrosse Head”, which is herey incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- Be it known that I, Paul Gait, a citizen of Canada, residing in Albany, N.Y., have invented a new and useful “Lacrosse Head”.
- A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material that is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
- The present invention relates generally to an implement used for playing lacrosse and more particularly, to a lacrosse head.
- It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that lacrosse is a fast growing sport. It will further be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that lacrosse heads are essential to playing the game. A head is a basket that attaches to the end of a handle. The lacrosse head is usually molded from duPont Xytel® brand nylon. The lacrosse head has an open or upper side for catching and discharging the ball and a lower side to which a net or pocket is attached for holding a ball. A lacrosse head has a throat section having a socket for receiving a handle and a ball stop. To the ball stop there is attached a pair of sidewalls. Ribs are provided on either in interior or exterior of the sidewalls for strength or to vary pocket size. However, these ribs are attached along the majority of their length to the head. The sidewalls are joined distal from the ball stop by a lip or scoop. A socket is provided to receive a handle. The socket has an inner perimeter that is multi-sided and of a shape to mate with a similarly-shaped handle. The prior art external perimeter of the socket tends to be inconsistent in that it is shaped like the internal perimeter or it melds into the structure of the very angular lacrosse head.
- The present invention discloses a lacrosse head having a throat for receiving a handle, a scoop distal from the throat, a pair of sidewalls extending from the throat to the scoop, and a ball stop adjacent the throat. A pair of floating ribs corresponding to each of the pair of sidewalls is provided. Each of the floating ribs has a first end and a second end separated by a middle portion wherein the first end is joined proximal the throat and the second end is joined proximal the side wall and a segment of the middle portion is not attached to the sidewall. The socket is provided with an inner perimeter and outer perimeter. The outer perimeter has a proximal end proximal a mouth for receiving the lacrosse handle and a distal end distal the proximal end, the distal end being larger than the proximal end. The outer perimeter is substantially smooth.
- Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide a lacrosse head having a floating rib.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a socket having a smooth outer perimeter.
- Another object of the present invention is to strengthen the head without adding much weight.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a head in which the catching area is enlarged without added much weight.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a head in which the height is increased without enlarging the sidewalls.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a lacrosse head having a socket that can be more easily turned in the top hand of the user.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a socket having a ridge that improves the user's ability to thrust.

FIG. 1 is a side view the first embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the first embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is an end view of another embodiment of the present invention. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1-3 there is shown generally at 10, the preferred embodiment of the lacrosse head of the present invention.Lacrosse head 10 hasthroat 12 joined to a pair ofside walls 14.Scoop 16 is joined toside walls 14 distal fromthroat 12.Throat 12 consists ofsocket 22 for receiving ahandle 100 andball stop 24.Lacrosse head 10 is provided withinner edge 18 andouter edge 20.Lacrosse head 10 has upper oropen portion 26 and lower or net receivingportion 28. Betweenupper portion 26 andlower portion 28 is middle portion 30. - In one preferred embodiment, a
floating rib 40 is provided. In the preferred embodiment, thefloating rib 40 has afirst end 40 and asecond end 46 separated by amiddle portion 44. In the preferred embodiment, thefirst end 42 is joined to thehead 10 preferably along thethroat 12 and thesecond end 46 is joined to the head preferably along theupper portion 26 of thesidewall 14 while themiddle portion 44 or at least a portion thereof does not engage nor is attached to thehead 10. By being separate from thesidewall 14, thefloating rib 40 at itsapex 54 raises the effective height of thesidewall 14 without raising the true height of thesidewall 14. Further, in the preferred embodiment, the distance between theinner portions 48 of thefloating ribs 40 is greater than the distance between theinner edges 18 of thesidewalls 14 immediately below thefloating ribs 40. In this manner, the catching area of thelacrosse head 10 is greater at the top without widening thesidewalls 14. Further, thespace 52 under thefloating rib 40 represents a void where sidewall material would otherwise be. Therefore, the floatingrib 40 allows thehead 10 to have a larger catching area,stronger sidewalls 14, and be taller without adding the weight that would be added if the floatingrib 40 was part of thesidewall 14. - Referring again to
FIGS. 1-3 there is shown generally at 10, the preferred embodiment of the lacrosse head of the present invention.Lacrosse head 10 hasthroat 12 joined to a pair ofside walls 14.Scoop 16 is joined toside walls 14 distal fromthroat 12.Throat 12 consists ofsocket 22 for receiving ahandle 100 andball stop 24.Lacrosse head 10 is provided withinner edge 18 andouter edge 20.Lacrosse head 10 has upper oropen portion 26 and lower or net receivingportion 28.Socket 22 hasinner perimeter 70 andouter perimeter 72.Inner perimeter 70 is preferably shaped to effectively receive and engage thehandle 100.Outer perimeter 72 is preferably circular or ovular in shape and substantially smooth to allow a portion of users top hand to slide across the surface ofouter perimeter 72. Preferably,outer perimeter 72 has proximal end orportion 74 closest to themouth 78 into which thehandle 100 is placed and distal end orportion 76 which is closest to thethroat 12 orball stop 24. In the preferred embodiment, the diameter of theouter perimeter 72 is greater closest todistal portion 76 than closest toproximal portion 74. Preferably, aridge 80 is provided proximal todistal portion 76 against which the user's top hand may rest to assist in the thrust of thelacrosse stick 102. In the preferred embodiment, the shape of theouter perimeter 72 is round with the diameter of theproximal end 74 being less than the diameter of thedistal portion 76. However, if the outer perimeter is ovular in shape, the length of theproximal end 74 along any axis is less than the length taken along a similar axis of thedistal portion 76. -
FIG. 3 shows anovular socket 22. Again,inner perimeter 70 is shaped to receive a handle inmouth 80.Outer perimeter 72 is shaped in this instance as an oval.Proximal portion 74 is smaller thandistal portion 76 along any similar axis of measurement.Distal portion 76 rises toridge 80. - Thus, although there have been described particular embodiments of the present invention of a new and useful Lacrosse Head, it is not intended that such references be construed as limitations upon the scope of this invention except as set forth in the following claims.
