Abstract

A hockey stick having a shock absorbing function includes a striking portion and a grip portion which are sequentially connected. A shock absorbing member is interposed between a front section and a rear section of the grip portion. The outer wall of the shock absorbing member is exposed to the outer wall of the striking portion. The inner wall of the shock absorbing member is exposed to the inner wall of a cavity. The shock absorbing member greatly absorbs the shock generated when the striking portion hits the ball, thereby effectively reducing the shock generated when hitting a ball. It solves the problem of the soreness of the arm due to shocks and is more comfortable for use.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a hockey stick, and more particularly to a hockey stick having a shock absorbing function.

2. Description of the Prior Art

With the vigorous development of sports, hockey, as a kind of sports, attracts many fans with its high skill and excitement.
At present, conventional hockey sticks are classified into a solid structure made of a wooden material and a hollow structure made of a metal material or composite material, and they substantially have the same structure, including a striking portion for hitting a ball and a grip portion for holding. When hitting a ball, the reaction force of the ball to the hockey stick is completely applied to the striking portion. The generated shock is transmitted to the grip portion, and the feeling of the shock to the user's palm is also strong, which makes the user feel uncomfortable and is prone to fatigue and soreness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the drawbacks of the prior art, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a hockey stick having a shock absorbing function, which effectively solves the problem of the soreness of the user due to the shock generated when hitting a ball.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
A hockey stick having a shock absorbing function comprises a striking portion and a grip portion which are sequentially connected. The striking portion and the grip portion are made of a composite carbon fiber material. The grip portion is hollow to form a cavity therein. Wherein, the grip portion includes a front section and a rear section. The front section and the rear section are fixedly connected by a shock absorbing member. An outer wall of the shock absorbing member is exposed to an outer wall of the grip portion. An inner wall of the shock absorbing member is exposed to an inner wall of the cavity.
Preferably, the shock absorbing member is made of an elastic shock-absorbing material.
Preferably, the shock absorbing member is disposed close to the striking portion.
Preferably, the shock absorbing member has a flared shape. A rear end surface of the front section is an outer tapered surface. A front end surface of the rear section is an inner tapered surface. The outer tapered surface is inserted into the inner tapered surface. The shock absorbing member is interposed between the inner tapered surface and the outer tapered surface.
Preferably, the shock absorbing member and the grip portion are integrally connected or fixedly connected by bonding.
The present invention has obvious advantages and advantageous effects compared with the prior art. Specifically, it can be known from the above technical solutions:
The shock absorbing member is interposed between the front section and the rear section of the grip portion, the outer wall of the shock absorbing member is exposed to the outer wall of the striking portion. The inner wall of the shock absorbing member is exposed to the inner wall of the cavity. The shock absorbing member greatly absorbs the shock generated when the striking portion hits the ball, thereby effectively reducing the shock generated when hitting the ball. It solves the problem of the soreness of the arm due to shocks and is more comfortable for use.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a structural schematic view according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;

FIG. 2 is a sectional view according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention; and

FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of circle A of FIG. 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, a specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a striking portion 10 and a grip portion 20 which are sequentially connected.
The striking portion 10 and the grip portion 20 are sequentially connected. Both the striking portion 10 and the grip portion 20 are made of a composite carbon fiber material. The grip portion 20 is hollow to form a cavity 201 therein.
The grip portion 20 includes a front section 21 and a rear section 22. The front section 21 and the rear section 22 are fixedly connected by a shock absorbing member 30. The outer wall of the shock absorbing member 30 is exposed to the outer wall of the grip portion 20. The inner wall of the shock absorbing member 30 is exposed to the inner wall of the cavity 201. The shock absorbing member 30 and the grip portion 20 are integrally connected or fixedly connected by bonding. The shock absorbing member 30 is disposed close to the striking portion 10.
In this embodiment, the shock absorbing member 30 has a flared shape. The rear end surface of the front section 21 is an outer tapered surface. The front end surface of the rear section 22 is an inner tapered surface. The outer tapered surface is inserted into the inner tapered surface. The shock absorbing member 30 is interposed between the inner tapered surface and the outer tapered surface. The shock absorbing member 30 is made of an elastic shock-absorbing material. The shock absorbing member 30 greatly absorbs the shock generated when the striking portion 10 hits a ball, thereby effectively reducing the shock generated when hitting the ball. It solves the problem of the soreness of the arm due to shocks and is more comfortable for use.
The feature of the present invention is described below.
The shock absorbing member is interposed between the front section and the rear section of the grip portion, the outer wall of the shock absorbing member is exposed to the outer wall of the striking portion. The inner wall of the shock absorbing member is exposed to the inner wall of the cavity. The shock absorbing member greatly absorbs the shock generated when the striking portion hits the ball, thereby effectively reducing the shock generated when hitting the ball. It solves the problem of the soreness of the arm due to shocks and is more comfortable for use.
Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
