Definitions
- Lacrosse sticks In the game of lacrosse, players use sticks to receive and shoot a ball.
- Lacrosse sticks generally include an elongated stem and a head portion. The player grips a handle located toward the butt end of the stem, and utilizes ' the head portion, which includes mesh, to receive and shoot the ball during play.
- a typical head frame for a lacrosse stick includes a socket to receive the forward end of the stem. The stem is then coupled to the head frame by a fastener, such as a screw.
- the invention provides a novel lacrosse stick having a continuous stem and head frame.
- the stem of the lacrosse stick is stif er than at least a distal end of the head frame and provides a player with a superior stick for the game of lacrosse. Because of its unitary structure, the lacrosse stick of the present invention is more durable than prior art devices. Moreover, because of the differential stiffness between the stem and head frame portions, a player will be able to scoop balls from the turf more easily, receive hard passes with comfort, and generate hard shots because of the whip like action of the stick.
- a lacrosse stick including a head portion which further includes a head frame for receiving a mesh is provided. At least a distal end of the head frame is flexible.
- the lacrosse stick further includes an elongated stem portion extending from a proximal end of the head frame, and the stem and head frame share at least a common continuous exterior material so as to define a unitary structure.
- the head frame and the stem are mechanically joined, and the stick includes a continuous sheath covering the head frame and the stem so as to define a unitary external structure.
- the sheath may include a polymer and/or a composite material.
- the head frame and the stem are integrally continuous portions of a single mechanical structure.
- the head frame and stem may be integrally fabricated by injection molding.
- the head frame may contain a progressively reduced amount of reinforcing material.
- the combination of materials injected to form the stem may provide greater rigidity than materials injected to form the head frame.
- the stem is formed around a tubular metal rod.
- the stem may be fabricated from aluminum, a light weight metal, wood, or a composite material.
- At least a portion of the head frame may be fabricated from a flexible plastic.
- the entire head frame has greater flexibility than at least a portion of the stem.
- the distal end of the head frame may be angled such that an upper rim of the head frame protrudes distally of a lower rim of the head frame.
- the stem and the head frame may include composite materials.
- the composite materials may include glass, polymer, arimides, carbon, boron, or ceramics.
- FIG. 1 shows a front view of one embodiment of a continuously formed lacrosse stick and head frame in accordance with the invention
- a lacrosse stick 10 includes an elongate stem 14 having a proximal butt end 18 and a distal forward end 22. Extending from and integral with the distal forward end 22 of the elongate stem 14 is a head frame 26.
- a handle 15 which a player grips during use of the lacrosse stick 10.
- handles 15 can be used in accordance with the invention.
- the handle 15 is a hollow rubber knob that slides onto and caps the butt end 18 of the lacrosse stick 10.
- the handle 15 is an injection-molded plastic grip with grooves designed to accommodate a player's fingers that slides onto the lacrosse stick 10.
- the handle 15 is not limited to those described, and can be any handle 15 that is typically used in a lacrosse stick 10 or a hockey stick.
- the head frame 26 is defined by at least one wall member 30 extending distally from the distal end 22 of the stem 14 and transversely from the center line 34 of the stem 14.
- the distal end 23 of the wall members 30 forms a generally arcuate nose element 38, which bridges the sides that converge towards the stem 14.
- the wall member 30 includes an upper rim 37 and a lower rim 39.
- the lower rim 39 may have a plurality of apertures 43 (FIG. 2) spaced about its periphery to receive a mesh (not shown).
- the mesh is suspended from the apertures 43 to define a bottom closure of the head frame 26.
- the mesh is coupled to the head frame 26 by fasteners (not shown).
- the mesh can be coupled to the head frame 26 using any suitable means.
- the upper rim 37 of the head frame 26 defines a mouth 46 in which a lacrosse ball is received into and shot from the lacrosse stick 10.
- the mouth 46 is generally divisible into two functional portions. The first is a throat portion 50 adjacent the juncture of the wall member 30 with the distal end 22 of the stem 14.
- the mesh suspended from the throat 50 of the head frame 26 defines a pocket 52, where the lacrosse ball resides during the player's retention of the ball in the lacrosse stick 10.
- the throat portion 50 of the head frame 26 terminates in an arcuate contour 54, the radius of curvature of the contour 54 being selected to define an accommodating surface against which the lacrosse ball rests while retained in the pocket 52.
- the contour 54 is lined with a soft, resilient padding which assists a player in maintaining the ball in the throat portion 50.
- the mouth 46 also includes a receiving and shooting portion 58 defined by the portion of the mesh distally to the throat portion 50 and extending to the nose element 38 of the head frame 26.
- the receiving and shooting portion 58 is the location at which the lacrosse ball is initially received and entrapped by the player and from which the ball is ultimately passed or shot.
- the nose element 38 of the head frame 26 has a generally flexible wall portion 61; for example, the wall portion 61 may be thinner than other portions of the wall member 30.
- the wall portion 61 is angled such that the upper rim 37 of the head frame 26 protrudes distally of the lower rim 39.
- the angle ⁇ of the wall 61 can range from about 10 degrees to about 80 degrees (FIG. 2).
- the thin, angled wall portion 61 of the nose element 38 assists a player in scooping a ball off the turf, since the flexibility of the wall portion 61 allows it to yield without excessive effort, sparing the player the need to excessively lean forward.
- the wall portion 61 of the nose element 38 facilitates the fielding of ground balls since there is less of a lip for the ball to pass over before reaching the receiving and shooting portion 58.
- the stem 14 and the head frame 26 of the lacrosse stick 10 of the present invention have a unique construction that enables differential stiffness to be achieved between the stem 14 and the head frame 26.
- lacrosse sticks 10 according to the present invention feature a stem 14 that has greater stiffness and rigidity than at least the distal end 23 of the head frame 26, and more preferably, the stem 14 has greater stiffness than the shooting and receiving portion 58 of the head frame 26.
- a lacrosse stick 10 that has a continuously formed stem 14 and head frame 26 is depicted where the stem 14 has greater stiffness than at least the distal end 23 of the head frame 26.
- the stem 14 has greater rigidity than the entire head frame 26.
- At least the exterior of the stem 14 and head frame 26 are preferably made from composite materials, which generally consist of a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer-based resin matrix impregnated with a material, such as a fiber, to reinforce the matrix.
- Preferred fibers include glass, polymer arimides such as KEVLAR, carbon, boron, or ceramics.
- a composite may include two or more different types of fibers in a single matrix.
- the lacrosse stick 10 is molded (typically by injection molding) from a plastic material, for example, C APRON polymer produced by Honeywell Plastics (Morristown, USA).
- a plastic material for example, C APRON polymer produced by Honeywell Plastics (Morristown, USA).
- the composite material used to form the stem 14 can contain a greater concentration of fiber than the material used to form the head frame 26 (which may, particularly toward the distal end 23, lack fiber altogether), or can contain a reinforcing material providing reduced stiffness.
- Techniques for varying the composition of a polymer during the course of molding operations are well-understood in the art.
- the stem 14 is formed from CAPRON polymer containing fiberglass (also provided by Honeywell Plastics) while the head frame 26 has a progressively reduced amount of reinforcing material.
- the lacrosse stick 10 is manufactured by co-injection molding, where materials are injected sequentially to create a core surrounded by a skin.
- the core and skin combination in the head frame 26 is fabricated to be less rigid than the stem 14.
- the lacrosse stick 10 is fabricated through the process of bi-injection molding, where different materials are injected through different gates. Using this technique, the combination of materials injected to form the stem 14 provide greater rigidity than the materials injected to form the head frame 26. In general, any injection molding process can be used that results in the stem 14 having greater rigidity than the head frame 26.
- the stem 14 is formed around a metal rod or mandrel, which acts as a stiff backbone for a composite sheath, and which continues in extent to form the head frame 26.
- a metal rod or mandrel which acts as a stiff backbone for a composite sheath, and which continues in extent to form the head frame 26.
- KEVLAR in either unidirectional pre-preg tape, or bi-directional prepreg fabric forms may be used.
- a plurality of composite material layers are rolled in a stacked fashion around a mandrel having the desired shape of at least the stem 14. Each of the layers may be similar, or may differ with respect to one or more of the included materials and/or properties.
- plies of unidirectional tape or fabric plies may be selectively oriented in the direction that provides the cured lacrosse stick 10 with the properties desired.
- the layers also may be of similar size and shape and stacked one on top of another, or may be of different size and shape.
- the stacking of the layers may be performed by using a plurality of pieces of composite material for a layer, or using only a single piece for a layer.
- the layers of composite materials may also be of any suitable thickness, or thicknesses.
- the laminate is then cured by heating, for instance in an autoclave, to form the finished product. It will be appreciated that by varying the method of construction of the stem 14 and the head frame 26, lacrosse sticks 10 with stems 14 having greater stiffness than the head frame 26 may be fabricated.
- the stem 14 and the head frame 26 are mechanically joined, and a composite sheath is formed over the stem 14 and head frame 26 to define a unitary external structure as depicted in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the stem 14 of the lacrosse stick 10 may be fabricated from aluminum or another lightweight metal, wood, a composite material, etc.
- the stem 14 may also be tubular in construction throughout the longitudinal length of the stem 14 to reduce weight.
- the stem 14 may further have a circular, rectangular, octagonal or any other cross section desirable.
- the head frame 26 in this embodiment is preferably fabricated from a composite material that has a reduced stiffness is comparison to the stem 14 of the lacrosse stick 10. The stem 14 is then coupled to the head frame 26 by any suitable means.
- the stem 14 may be attached to the head frame 26 by an adhesive bonding.
- the head portion may have a shape that facilitates attachment to the stem.
- the head frame 26 may terminate in a plug 60 that is received in a socket 64 formed within the distal end 68 of the stem 14, so that when so joined, the outer surface of the stem 14 is substantially flush with the outer surface 76 of the head frame 26.
- a sheath for example, fabricated from a composite material like KEVLAR is layered onto the head frame 26 and stem 14 and cured to produce a lacrosse stick 10 with a unitary external structure.
- a sheath covering made from a polymer, such as polyethylene covers the head frame 26 and stem 14 portions so as to define a unitary structure.
