Patent number: 11771962Abstract: A golf club may include a head having a body and a faceplate coupled to the body. The faceplate may have a maximum thickness at a central location and a cross-section intersecting the central location. The cross-section may have continuously variable wall thickness across the faceplate. The faceplate may have a closed non-convex contour curve defined by constant faceplate wall thickness that encloses the central location.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Wilson Sporting Goods Co.Inventors: Sean P. Griffin, Ninad Trifale, Richard P. Hulock, Jon C. Pergande, Robert T. Thurman

Publication number: 20210331046Abstract: An iron-type golf club head includes a body having a wall extending about an opening, a faceplate coupled to the body across the opening, and a fill material. The wall defines a first set of apertures and a second aperture, and includes an outer peripheral surface, a sole and a rear wall portion extending from the heel to the toe. The wall and the faceplate define a rearward-facing back cavity. The sole, the rear wall portion and the faceplate define a lower cavity that is continuous with the back cavity. The first set of apertures and the second aperture extend through the wall from the peripheral outer surface to, and are continuous with, the lower cavity. The first set of apertures and the second aperture extend about first and second planes, respectively. The fill material substantially fills the lower cavity and the first set of apertures and the second aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2021Publication date: October 28, 2021Applicant: Wilson Sporting Goods Co.Inventors: Jon C. Pergande, Mark A. Kerscher, Sean P. Griffin, Ninad Trifale, Mark A. Spencer, Michael D. Vrska, JR.

Publication number: 20210252356Abstract: An example pickleball paddle may include a handle and a head coupled to the handle. The head may include an inner layer sandwiched between a first outer faceplate and a second outer faceplate. The inner layer may include a lattice. At least portions of the handle, the inner layer, the first outer faceplate and the second outer faceplate are integrally formed as a single unitary body.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Applicant: Wilson Sporting Goods Co.Inventors: Robert T.

Patent number: 10675512Abstract: One or more devices, methods, and systems implementing one or more techniques for use of one or more sport balls and/or evaluations of handling one or more sport balls are disclosed. One or more techniques may include a sport ball having one or more pressure sensors configured to generate one or more force values between the one or more pressure sensors and a sport ball user upon use/engagement of the sport ball with the user. One or more techniques may include a processor configured to determine at least one handling value, perhaps based upon the one or more force values.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Pacers Basketball, LLCInventors: Josh Corbeil, Ninad Trifale, Eric Nauman, Roy Lycke

Patent number: 10640066Abstract: A bumper assembly includes a bumper beam and a fin supported by the bumper beam. The fin extends along an axis from a proximate end proximate to the bumper beam to a distal end distal to the bumper beam. The fin has a sinuous cross section and a thickness each normal to the axis. The thickness at the distal end is less than the thickness at the proximate end.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: S. M. Iskander Farooq, Mohammad Omar Faruque, Ching-Hung Chuang, Srinivasan Sundararajan, Ninad Trifale, Nirmal Muralidharan, Dean M. Jaradi
