Publication number: 20240100768Abstract: A 3D printed thermal expansion structure includes a thermoplastic material and a thermal expansion material, wherein the thermoplastic material is in a range from 50 to 90 wt % based on a weight of the 3D printed thermal expansion structure, and the thermal expansion material is in a range from 10 to 50 wt % based on the weight of the 3D printed thermal expansion structure. The thermoplastic material and the thermal expansion material are mixed to form a mixed material, and the mixed material is utilized by a 3D printing apparatus to form a solid object, and the solid object is heated to form the 3D printed thermal expansion structure. A manufacturing method of a 3D printed thermal expansion structure is provided herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicants: FENG TAY ENTERPRISES CO., LTD., Bauer Hockey, LLCInventors: CHIN-TE SU, Jean-Francois Laperriere, Thierry Krick, Francois Asselin, Martin Ladouceur, Ivan Labonte, Marco Beauregard

Patent number: 11912844Abstract: A device (e.g., an article of athletic gear) comprising a post-molded expandable component, which is a part of the device that is configured to be expanded or has been expanded after being molded. This may allow the post-molded expandable component to have enhanced characteristics (e.g., be more shock-absorbent, lighter, etc.), to be cost-effectively manufactured (e.g., by using less material and/or making it in various sizes), and/or to be customized for a user (e.g., by custom-fitting it to the user).Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: BAUER HOCKEY LLCInventors: Thierry Krick, François Asselin, Jean-François Laperrière, Martin Ladouceur, Ivan Labonté, Marco Beauregard

Patent number: 10737168Abstract: The invention relates to a leg pad for a hockey player. The leg pad extends along a longitudinal axis and comprises an upper portion, a bottom portion and a band. The upper portion has a knee cap for covering a knee joint of the player. The bottom portion has an upper shell for covering a substantial part of a shin of the hockey player and a lower shell for at least partially covering the shin and ankle of the hockey player. The band extends along part of a periphery of the upper shell and part of a periphery of the lower shell. The band interconnects the upper shell and the lower shell to one another wherein the lower shell is movable relative to the upper shell between a first position and a second position in response to flexion of the ankle.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: BAUER HOCKEY, LLCInventors: Mathieu Contant, Jean-Francois Laperriere, Marco Beauregard, Marie-Claude Genereux
