Abstract
This invention concerns an improved hockey stick and hockey stick components for protecting participants and spectators of the sport from separated portions of the hockey stick that may be launched outward as a result of the momentum from a shooting or passing action. The improvement comprises an integral cord or cable that tethers the individual components of a hockey stick to each other preventing separation of the hockey stick or its components.

- Field of the Invention
- This invention relates generally to an improved hockey stick that participants use in the sport of hockey. In particular, this invention improves currently available hockey sticks with a feature that tethers separated portions of the hockey stick to each other. As a result, the separated portions of the hockey stick will be unable to function as projectiles, thus reducing the potential to injure other participants or spectators. In addition, the separated portions of the hockey stick will remain connected and will thus be quicker, easier and safer to remove from the playing surface. This will further reduce the risk of injury to the participants.
- Description of the Related Art
- Participants in the sport of hockey use hockey sticks for multiple purposes. When acting in an offensive fashion, the participant may use a hockey stick to receive a hockey puck, pass a hockey puck, control a hockey puck as the participant moves about the playing surface, and shoot a hockey puck toward the other team's goal in an attempt to score. When acting in a defensive fashion, the participant may use a hockey stick to block a puck from traveling to a member of the opposing team, steal a puck from the opposing team, and stop a puck from entering the participant's goal. Many other uses for a hockey stick are possible while participating in the sport of hockey.
- Hockey sticks are typically comprised of two major components, a shaft and a blade. The participant grasps the shaft with one or two hands and uses the blade portion of hockey stick to touch the puck while acting in both offensive and defensive fashions. One version of a hockey stick, the one-piece version, is manufactured to have no discernible coupling between the shaft and the blade. A second version of a hockey stick, the two-piece version, is manufactured with the intent to couple the shaft and the blade subsequent to the manufacturing process. With the two-piece version, the shaft and the blade connect to each other at the hosel portion of the blade.
- Hockey sticks have historically been manufactured using various types of wood. The strength and weight of the various types of woods have been important considerations when deciding which variety to use. Poplar, birch, maple and ash are a few examples of wood varieties that have been used for hockey sticks. More than one layer or ply of the same or dissimilar wood varieties are adhered together to form the solid shaft of the one-piece wood hockey stick. Wooden hockey sticks tend to splinter or break during normal use in the sport of hockey, either at the shaft or blade component. Spectators or other participants are potentially at risk of being struck by a portion of the broken hockey stick if the broken portion is launched outward.
- Various types of composite materials have complemented the use of wood in the manufacture of contemporary hockey sticks. Graphite (carbon fiber), fiberglass, Kevlar® and titanium hockey sticks are preferred by many participants because they are more responsive and weigh less than wooden hockey sticks. A complete one-piece hockey stick can be made of composite materials or each independent component of a two-piece hockey stick can be made of composite materials. One characteristic of a composite hockey stick shaft is that it is typically hollow, for the reasons of reducing the weight of the shaft and to reducing the amount of composite material required to produce the hockey stick shaft. Composite hockey sticks also tend to splinter or break during normal use in the sport of hockey, either at the shaft or blade component, mainly during a slapshot or wristshot motion. Spectators or other participants are potentially at risk of being struck by a portion of the broken hockey stick if the broken portion is launched outward due to the momentum produced by the swinging motion. Furthermore, the rules of hockey clearly state a broken hockey stick must be immediately dropped to the ice. These broken pieces not only interfere with the participants' activities, but they are a potential hazard to the participants who may inadvertently step on the broken pieces and cause them to fall. The officials commonly attempt to remove the pieces of a broken hockey stick as the sporting activity continues, but because the pieces are separated and usually a distance apart from each other, it is more difficult to remove them in a timely fashion.
- This invention improves currently available hockey sticks with a feature that tethers separated portions of the hockey stick to each other. As a result, the separated portions of the hockey stick will be unable to function as projectiles, thus reducing the potential to injure other participants or spectators by being struck by the separated portions of the hockey stick. The broken pieces of the stick will not separate making it quicker, easier and safer for an official to remove the broken stick from the ice in a timely fashion.
- Utilizing one or more cords, cables or equivalent, the hockey stick blade is coupled to the hockey stick shaft at a location of the shaft such that a separated portion of the hockey stick cannot act as a projectile in the event that the hockey stick shaft splinters or breaks. When used in conjunction with a hockey stick that incorporates a wooden shaft, the one or more cords, cables or equivalent is placed between one or more layers or plies of the wood shaft during the manufacturing process. The one or more cords, cables or equivalent will thus be imbedded substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the hockey stick shaft.
- When used in conjunction with a hockey stick that incorporates a composite shaft with a hollow center, the one or more cords, cables or equivalent are placed within the hollow shaft. The one or more cords, cables or equivalent will thus be positioned substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hollow hockey stick shaft. One end of the cords, cables or equivalent will be coupled to the blade at the blade end of the hockey stick and the other end of the cords, cables or equivalent will be coupled at the plug end of the hockey stick. As a result, the risk of a separated portion of the hockey stick potentially injuring another participant or spectator is reduced.
