Patent number: 11446556Abstract: A lightweight compression molded multicolor golf grip having at least a first section and a second section of differing colors and composed of elastomer compounds joined by cross-linking across a sharply defined cross-color interface having an interface transition zone beyond which there is no mixing of the colors. The grip has a soft feel and unique compression characteristics achieved in some embodiments through the controlled use of an expanding blowing agent in a rubber compound. Achieving the sharply defined cross-color interface is due in part to the use of complementary geometries at opposing interface edges to increase the stability of the interface and reduce the flow during molding associated with the increased viscosity of low density rubber compounds, promote cross-linking of the sections, and better distribute and control the consolidation pressure.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Stephen James Davis, Alex Lee Walls, Wen-Chen Su, Aaron Joseph Michaud, Edward Wang

Patent number: 10729953Abstract: A lightweight compression molded multicolor golf grip having at least a first section and a second section of differing colors and composed of elastomer compounds having a density of less than 0.90 g/cc, and joined by cross-linking across a sharply defined cross-color interface having an interface transition zone beyond which there is no mixing of the colors. The grip has a soft feel and unique compression characteristics achieved in some embodiments through the controlled use of an expanding blowing agent in a rubber compound. Achieving the sharply defined cross-color interface is due in part to the use of complementary geometries at opposing interface edges to increase the stability of the interface and reduce the flow during molding associated with the increased viscosity of low density rubber compounds, promote cross-linking of the sections, and better distribute and control the consolidation pressure.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Stephen James Davis, Alex Lee Walls, Wen-Chen Su, Aaron Joseph Michaud, Edward Wang

Patent number: 10343039Abstract: A lightweight compression molded multicolor golf grip having at least a first section and a second section of differing colors and composed of elastomer compounds having a density of less than 0.90 g/cc, and joined by cross-linking across a sharply defined cross-color interface having an interface transition zone beyond which there is no mixing of the colors. The grip has a soft feel and unique compression characteristics achieved in some embodiments through the controlled use of an expanding blowing agent in a rubber compound including an EPDM mixture. Achieving the sharply defined cross-color interface is due in part to the use of complementary geometries at opposing interface edges to increase the stability of the interface and reduce the flow during molding associated with the increased viscosity of low density rubber compounds, promote cross-linking of the sections, and better distribute and control the consolidation pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Stephen James Davis, Alex Lee Walls, Wen-Chen Su, Aaron Joseph Michaud, Edward Wang
