Publication number: 20260346107Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pickleball racket includes the following steps: (a) impregnating a composite material with resin; (b) wrapping a core mold, made of PolyMethylMethAcrylimide (PMI), with at least one location to form an elastic layer; wrapping the composite material around the elastic layer and the core mold to form a composite material layer, to form a semi-finished product; (c) placing the semi-finished product into a mold and heating the mold to a predetermined temperature to form internal pressure within the semi-finished product; (d) stopping heating and cooling the semi-finished product to solidify it; (e) removing a pickleball racket from the mold. The pickleball racket forms an integral structure in the order of a core mold, an elastomer layer, and a composite material layer. The pickleball racket is light in weight and has strength and rigidity. The striking surfaces of the pickle racket has hitting elasticity, and shock absorption.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2026Publication date: November 5, 2026Inventor: ALAN LIN

Publication number: 20250235765Abstract: A manufacturing method and structure for a composite material racket frame includes the following steps: (a) Resin impregnation: Impregnate a composite material with resin; (b) Wrapping the core mold with composite material: Use a core mold in the shape of a racket, made of polymethacrylimide (PMI) or expanded polypropylene (EPP) material; then wrap the composite material around the core mold to form a composite material layer. The mutually wrapped composite material layers and core mold together form a semi-finished product; (c) Heating and pressurizing: Place the semi-finished product into a mold with a cavity, and heat the mold to a preset temperature. After heating, the core mold expands due to heat, forming internal pressure within the semi-finished product; (d) Cooling and curing: Stop heating and allow the semi-finished product to cool until it reaches a cured state, and (e) Finished product formation: Remove a finished racket frame from the mold.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2024Publication date: July 24, 2025Inventor: ALAN LIN
