Abstract: A bat comprises a bat body and a foamed core member provided inside the inner space of the bat body. The foamed core member is made of pre-foamed methacryl resin beads, which have been treated with a foaming process. The pre-foamed methacryl resin is filled up in the bat body so that approximately 100% of the volume is filled up. The foamed core member is formed by heating the pre-foamed methacryl resin beads in order to perform a secondary foaming process while the inner space is sealed. The bat has an expanded sweet-spot area and enhanced impact absorbing characteristics. By leveling the thickness of the bat body, mechanical strength is enhanced, and further, the weight of the bat can be reduced and satisfactory swing balance can be obtained.

Abstract: A container for memory disks comprising an upper case; a bottom case; and a supporting member which is adapted to be held between the upper case and the bottom case and to be inserted into each central hole of the memory disks so as to retain the memory disks, thus rendering the outer peripheral portions of the memory disks to become free in the container.
