Patent number: 10709946Abstract: A ball bat includes outer shell segments longitudinally spaced apart from each other to form a gap between them. A joint connects the segments. A first outer shell segment may include a barrel portion of the ball bat and at least part of a tapered portion of the ball bat. A second outer shell segment may include at least part of the tapered portion. The joint may include a tubular element having a first portion positioned within the first outer shell segment and at least partially overlapping an interior surface of the first outer shell segment, and a second portion positioned within the second outer shell segment and at least partially overlapping an interior surface of the second outer shell segment. The tubular element may include an elastomeric material. In some embodiments, the joint may be formed by an elastomeric material connecting the outer shell segments in the gap.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: EASTON DIAMOND SPORTS, LLCInventors: Dewey Chauvin, Linda Hunt, Ian Montgomery, Frederic St-Laurent

Patent number: 10688358Abstract: A method of making a ball bat may include forming a bat frame with a handle and an inner barrel structure, providing spacer elements extending radially outwardly from the inner barrel structure, and forming a barrel shell having a main barrel and a tapered section. An inner diameter in the tapered section may be equal to an outer diameter of a first one of the spacer elements. The method may include mechanically locking the barrel shell to the bat frame by passing the handle through the barrel shell and moving the barrel shell toward the inner barrel structure until the barrel shell contacts the first one of the spacer elements. A gap is maintained between an outer diameter of the inner barrel structure and the barrel shell. The barrel shell may deflect during a hit to create a trampoline effect, while the inner barrel structure limits the deflection.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: EASTON DIAMOND SPORTS, LLCInventors: Linda Hunt, Grant Douglas, Dewey Chauvin, Ian Montgomery

Publication number: 20190030407Abstract: A barrel of a ball bat may include a composite laminate with a plurality of composite plies. One or more translaminar elements may pass through the composite plies and around a circumference of the barrel to reduce relative movement between the plies. The translaminar elements may include a first line of stitching, which may include aramid fiber. In some embodiments, the first line of stitching forms two or more coils around the barrel. Lines of stitching may be positioned on opposing sides of a center of percussion of the ball bat. In some embodiments, the translaminar elements may include a line of staples distributed around the circumference of the barrel. A method of making a ball bat may include arranging plies of composite material to form a cylinder, passing a first translaminar element through the plies, and curing the assembly of plies to form a barrel of the ball bat.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2017Publication date: January 31, 2019Inventors: Dewey CHAUVIN, Mick KAPLAN, Ian MONTGOMERY, Frederic ST-LAURENT

Publication number: 20190022484Abstract: A ball bat includes a barrel wall with a composite laminate structure that includes an outwardly facing skin, an inwardly facing skin, a stack of composite laminate plies positioned between the outwardly facing skin and the inwardly facing skin, and a discontinuity in the stack forming a gap along a longitudinal axis of the bat. A rigid or semi-rigid appliance may be positioned in the gap. The appliance may be a ring element, which may have a cross-section that traverses the composite laminate plies in the stack in a direction that is perpendicular or oblique to the longitudinal axis of the bat. The cross-section of the ring element may be triangular. A second ring element may be positioned in the barrel wall. The second ring element may be connected to the other ring element with an adhesive bond or a connecting element.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2018Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventors: Dewey CHAUVIN, Frederic ST-LAURENT, Mick KAPLAN, Ian MONTGOMERY

Publication number: 20190022483Abstract: Representative embodiments of the present technology may include a ball bat with a handle, a barrel attached to or continuous with the handle along a longitudinal axis of the bat, and a reduced-durability region positioned in the barrel. The reduced-durability region may include two adjacent stacks of composite laminate plies, wherein the stacks are spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal axis to form a first gap therebetween. A separation ply may be positioned in the first gap between the stacks. The separation ply may include a non-woven mat material. At least one cap ply element may be positioned around an end of one of the stacks. In some embodiments, an axis of the first gap is oriented at an oblique angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the bat.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2017Publication date: January 24, 2019Inventors: Dewey CHAUVIN, Ian MONTGOMERY, Frederic ST-LAURENT

Patent number: 10112091Abstract: A sleeve or grip for use on a ball bat or other sporting-good implement includes a low-friction inner surface and a longitudinal slit that facilitates its positioning on, and removal from, a handle of the implement. The grip is rotatable about the handle so that a user's hand may move into an optimal position during a swing. The grip may be readily removable from the implement so that, after a swing, it stays with the user, as opposed to remaining on the implement.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: EASTON DIAMOND SPORTS, LLCInventors: Keenan Long, Ian Montgomery

Patent number: 10076693Abstract: A sporting-good implement, such as a ball bat or a lacrosse stick, includes a first handle section rotatably connected to a second handle section. The second handle section may be attached to or integral with a tapered region or barrel region of a ball bat, or with a shaft section or head of a lacrosse stick, or with another sporting-good feature. This rotatable engagement allows the relative position of the user's hands to change during the course of a swing, shot, or pass, ideally placing the user's hands in a position to generate improved power or control.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2017Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: EASTON DIAMOND SPORTS, LLCInventors: Keenan Long, Dewey Chauvin, Michael Lloyd Snow, Ian Montgomery, Stephen J.
