Publication number: 20190381386Abstract: A protective glove can include a unitary dorsal panel formed from an inner scrim material and a plurality of protective elements molded directly to an exterior surface of the inner scrim. Two or more protective elements can be formed as an array of discrete islands each separated by substantially zero-elevation interstitial spaces. The unitary dorsal panel can be sewn or otherwise attached circumferentially to the palmer sections of the glove. This array of protective elements can provide increased protection to the user's fingers, hands, wrists, and lower forearms while maintaining flexibility and tactile feel on both palmar and dorsal sides of the glove, increasing flexibility where needed without compromising protection.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2019Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Anthony Abdelmalek, David Kucharsky, Patrick M. Mckernan

Publication number: 20180041827Abstract: A headphone housing assembly for receiving a removable earpiece assembly, comprising two substantially annular ear cups and a headband assembly, the headband assembly comprising an inner headband and an outer headband that fit removably together to hold a speaker wire. The headband assembly has two ends, to which the ear cups are connected. The ear cups come apart to allow a pair of speakers to be removably inserted into the ear cups, with speaker wire running through the headband assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2016Publication date: February 8, 2018Applicant: The Ketchum Group, Inc., dba, Outdoor TechnologyInventor: Anthony Abdelmalek

Patent number: 9579551Abstract: A shaft lock for interconnection of an elongate tubular lacrosse handle and a plastic lacrosse head. The shaft lock comprises an elastomeric insert compression-fitted inside the handle. The insert has a compressible body portion which, in an uncompressed form generally conforms to the interior walls of the handle and is defined by a plurality of co-planar ribs that span the interior walls of the handle. A hard screw-anchor is embedded within the elastomer insert, and the insert is anchored inside the handle by at least one screw threaded through the handle into the screw-anchor from top-to-bottom, the screw(s) engaging the screw anchor and compressing it against the elastomeric insert. The threaded engagement of the screw(s) through the wall of the handle and into the screw-anchor compresses the elastomeric insert, maintaining a constant tension against the screw(s) and against the interior walls of the handle.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Inventors: Anthony Abdelmalek, Michael Schmittdiel, John Vajda

Patent number: 9550099Abstract: A lacrosse stick for reducing the rebound of a ball caught therein. The head of the lacrosse stick has a socket for receiving the shaft, and incorporates one or a plurality of flexible elastomer pads within or as part of the handle or socket, where the head and handle meet, to damp impact and rebound. The flexibility of the damping pads produces a “give” that minimizes the rebound of a pocket after being impacted by a ball. This pocket dampening limits the movement of the ball and makes the ball easier to control and to retain in the pocket. The precise location of the dampening material on the lacrosse head may be varied to control the degree of pocket “give” in response to, for example, the force on the pocket created by a ball impacting the pocket during a catch or swinging in the pocket during cradling.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: WM.

Patent number: 8727915Abstract: A lacrosse stick for reducing the rebound of a ball caught therein. The head of the lacrosse stick is affixed to a tubular shaft in which a portion of the shaft wall at the top end is omitted on the front side and another portion is omitted on the backside below the first omitted portion. A resilient member is inserted within the shaft extending past the lower omitted portion of the shaft wall. The resilient member fills the omitted areas to seat flush therein. A head having a socket and throat is affixed to top end of the shaft. The socket engages the resilient insert via the omitted portions. When a force is applied, for example, by a ball caught in the pocket, the socket compresses the resilient member from the front and the throat from the back allowing the head to rotate backward, dissipating some of the energy and reducing rebound.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: WM.

Publication number: 20130029792Abstract: A lacrosse stick with an elongate tubular handle, a plastic head and an improved connection assembly between the handle and head, the connection assembly including an insert inside the handle and straddling at least two opposing walls, at least one screw threaded through the insert and through the opposing walls of the handle to compress the insert between the walls of said handle. The threaded engagement of the screw through the walls and insert sandwich the latter, maintaining a constant compressive force against the laterally enlarged heads and against the interior walls of the handle. This avoids loosening and/or dislodgement as a result of impact or vibration, and resists the threads of the screw stripping either the walls or the insert as a result of torque or other stress. A unitary sleeve insert, a one-piece straddle post embodiment, and a two-piece post embodiment are herein shown and described.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Inventors: Anthony Abdelmalek, Jonathan Bond
