  • Patent number: 12779828
    Abstract: A paddle racket manufacturing method comprises a material preparation step, a classification step, an adiabatic step, a cooling step and a bonding step, the material preparation step preparing a plurality of processing components; the classification step classifying each of the plurality of processing components into a pre-adiabatic processing component and a non-adiabatic processing component according to a heating characteristic and a pressurizing characteristic corresponding to a material characteristic of its composition; the adiabatic step applying an adiabatic heating on the pre-adiabatic processing component according to the material characteristic to form a processing component already processed with adiabatic process; the cooling step cooling the processing component already processed with adiabatic process to normal temperature; and the bonding step using cold bonding to connect the processing component already processed with adiabatic process with the non-adiabatic processing component.

  • Patent number: 11707898
    Abstract: A composite panel structure has opposing outer walls or surfaces and a core comprising a plurality of ribs extending between and connected to the outer walls and defining chambers which are filled with expanding foams, non-expanding foams, gases, or a combination thereof. The outer panel surfaces and internal chamber walls or ribs are made of woven or non-woven fibrous material impregnated with one or more resins. The panel structure may be used for making a variety of products including sports equipment such as sports paddles, surfboards, kite boards, skateboards, wakeboards, as well as construction panels for walls, ceilings or floors, display panels, panels for the vehicle industry, furniture, and other structures requiring high strength to weight properties.
