Patent number: 8613679Abstract: The proposed device enables to improve cushioning properties, increase ball flying speed, improve twisting of a ball. The said technical effect is achieved owing to that the proposed bat comprises a base, a handle and an elastic pad connected to the base outer surface. Protrusions on the elastic pad are distributed evenly. The said protrusions are made T-shaped, in the form of a leg and a head combined with the said leg. The legs are connected to the elastic pad. The heads of the neighboring T-shaped protrusions are brought into contact therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2012Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: StartInventor: Lidiya Mikhailovna Zhesterova

Patent number: 8371969Abstract: A ball-striking sole for a table tennis paddle comprises a flexible coating (118) of elastic material, one face (135) of which is lined with elastically deformable pimples (120) which protrude from said face. The cross section of said pimples is greater in their region (122) of attachment to this coating than in the region close to their opposite end (124) and the side wall (125) of these pimples has a concave curved profile over at least a part of the height of the pimple between these two regions. This sole is used particularly successfully in a table tennis paddle in which the face of said sole (112) lined with pimples (120) is directed towards the inner side of the blade (115) of the paddle such that the free ends (124) of the pimples, the lateral surface of which has a concave curved profile (125), are pressed against a layer (126) of elastic material, secured to the blade, the modulus of elasticity of which is much lower than that of the elastic coating (118) of the sole.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignees: Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A., Compagnie Generale des Etablissements MichelinInventors: Daniel Berton, Adam Jara, Olivier Muhlhoff

Patent number: 7559861Abstract: A table tennis racket includes a rubber (4) attached onto a blade (3) and easily removable without releasing any air-polluting gas. Opposing surfaces of the blade (3) and the rubber (4) have fine pores and lands of a micro-foam material, and the rubber (4) is removably held on the blade (3) with a vacuum suction force produced between the blade (3) and rubber (4) when pressed together.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2006Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignees: Adco Koki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyotaka Yoshihara, Naoko Okada

Patent number: 6551206Abstract: A multi-purpose racket. The multi-purpose racket includes a striking blade and a shaft. The striking blade includes a hollow substrate consisting of first and second flat sheets and partition walls successively arranged between the two flat sheets to form cells in the substrate. In this striking blade, a hard layer is attached to the outer surface of the first sheet of the substrate for allowing a user to strike a ball strongly. A sub-layer is attached to the outer surface of the second sheet of the substrate and acts as a cushion. In addition, a soft layer is attached to the outer surface of the sub-layer and has densely packed hook members over its whole external surface. The racket of this invention allows a user to strike various kinds of balls.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2002Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Inventor: Woong Soo Ha
