Definitions

  • This invention relates to a bat having an unstressed perforated striking head, for use in playing ball games such as paddle tennis ball games, tethered tennis-type ball games, beach tennis games, streamer ball games, or the like.
  • Bats having unstressed perforated ball-striking heads are known. Such bats are typically made from plastics material and are considered a cheaper and more robust alternative to conventional strung racquets or solid face bats.
  • the present invention is not concerned with bats having solid striking heads which may or may not be partially perforated such as solid wooden bats, nor is it concerned with bats having stressed striking surfaces such as strung squash or tennis racquets.
  • FIG. 10 shows a three-dimensional view of part of a lattice of yet another embodiment of a bat in accordance with the invention.
  • the layout or design of the lattices in the nodal areas is produced by leaving appropriate grooves or indentations around the tips of the fingers leaving a gap between sides of the tips of the fingers of one mould half and adjoining bases of neighbouring fingers of the other mould half through which the plastic material can flow while hot which forms a peripheral rim of the nodal areas.
  • the web of each nodal area is produced by ensuring that gaps are defined between the tips of the “fingers” of one mould half and opposite faces of the other mould half defined between the finger bases. In the moulding process, the gaps are filled with plastic to form the webs of the nodal areas of the lattices.
