Abstract: A composite barrel layer for a bat including a fiber pre-preg layer with repetitive folds generally forming part triangle shapes incorporated into a fiber reinforced composite layer of the barrel portion of the bat.
Abstract: The invention describes a bat for baseball or softball having a composite or metallic outer barrel and an insert assembly formed from composite or metallic materials and soft foam materials. The invention describes a number of embodiments of the insert assembly which may include adjustable floating or fixed power cones and adjustable sleeves, as well as a dual wall construction with the radially outer wall having an annular gap to allow limited directional flex of the radially outer wall of the insert assembly upon impact with a ball.
Abstract: A safety screen assembly that couples to or is a component of an equipment bag for sports training is disclosed. The safety screen assembly is configured to be coupled with an equipment bag and function as a rolling carrier in a first configuration, and convert to a full-sized safety screen in a second configuration utilizing the equipment bag as a ballast and support. In a preferred embodiment the safety screen is designed to protect a pitcher from batted balls during batting practice.
