Abstract
A protective strap includes a base layer and a top layer bonded to the base layer. The base layer is fastened to a handle of a sporting apparatus or a sleeve fitted onto the handle. The top layer, which is made of rubber and is smaller in thickness than the base layer, is provided with not only shock-absorptive and skidproof effects but also holding comfortableness. Additionally, the top layer is larger in width than the base layer such that a space is formed under where the top layer is overlapped while the protective strap is spirally wound around the handle or the sleeve. When the sporting apparatus is rotated in a direction opposite to a direction around which the protective strap is wound, the top layer can be partially deformed toward the space to absorb an external force such that the protective strap will not be turnup.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to sporting equipment, and more particularly to a protective strap for use in a handle of a sporting apparatus.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Generally speaking, a conventional protective strap, which is made of natural or artificial leather, is wound around a handle of a sporting apparatus, such as golf club, hockey stick, tennis racket, etc., for holding by a user so as to form a grip of the sporting apparatus. For example, the protective strap, which is made of cowskin, is ineffective in shock absorption and is subject to cause pains for the user's hand while waving the sporting apparatus. Afterwards, manufacturers of protective straps made an improvement that the cowskin was replaced by a polymeric material, e.g. polyurethane (PU) is coated on a base layer made of nonwoven cloth so as to form a strap body containing a gripping layer made of PU and the base layer. The strap body is spirally wound around the handle of the sporting apparatus. The PU material is provided with flexibility, gripping comfortableness, and predetermined degree of shock absorption for absorbing the shock generated by hitting balls. In addition, the base layer of nonwoven cloth enhances the tensile strength of the protective strap body to prevent the top gripping layer of the protective strap body from rupture caused by the strain while the protective strap body is wound around the handle of the sporting apparatus.
- However, since the top gripping layer of PU is provided with a smooth and dampproof surface, the top gripping layer is ineffective in absorbing or draining the perspiration generated by the user's hand such that the sporting apparatus is subject to be slippery. In addition to a long period of time of using the protective strap, the user has to gradually make more efforts to hold the grip of the sporting apparatus such that the shock-absorptive effect of the protective strap will be decreasingly reduced. In addition, the base layer of nonwoven cloth is not provided with shock-absorptive effect such that the whole protective strap is fairly ineffective in shock absorption. While winding around the handle of sporting apparatus by a preload, the top gripping layer of PU will be damaged by the strain, which is resulted from that the magnitude of the top gripping layer is greater in extension than the base layer, and the shock-absorptive effect is thereby much reduced.
- Moreover, the user may unconsciously make an action of rotating the grip along with the sporting apparatus while feeling nervous in a game. If the grip is rotated by the user in a direction opposite to a direction in which the protective strap is wound around the sporting apparatus, the strap body of the protective strap will be outwardly turnup at neighboring overlaps of the strap body and the protective strap will be accordingly damaged in a short time.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a protective strap, which is effective in shock absorption, skidproofness, and gripping comfortableness.
- The second objective of the present invention is to provide a protective strap, which strap body is free from being turnup while a grip formed of the strap is rotated along with a sporting apparatus.
- The foregoing objectives of the present invention are attained by the protective strap, which is formed of a base layer and a top layer bonded to each other. The top layer, which is made of rubber and is smaller in thickness than the base layer, is provided with not only shock-absorptive and skidproof effects but also holding comfortableness while the protective strap is wound around a handle of the sporting apparatus or a sleeve fitted onto the handle. Additionally, the top layer is larger in width than the base layer such that a space is formed under where the top layer is overlapped when the protective strap is spirally wound around the handle or the sleeve. When a user rotates the sporting apparatus in a direction opposite to a direction around which the protective strap is wound, the top layer can be partially deformed toward the space to absorb an external force, such that the protective strap will not be turnup.

Thesleeve 11 is made of an elastic material and is sleeved onto and/or adhered to thehandle 2 of thegolf club shaft 1 by an adhesive. - The
base layer 12 is made of polyurethane (PU) and has atop side 12 a and abottom side 12 b. Thebase layer 12 has a uniform thickness of 1.2 mm. - The
top layer 13 is made of rubber and has atop side 13 a and abottom side 13 b. The thickness of thetop layer 13 substantially ranges between 0.6 mm and 1.2 mm and is no larger than that of thebase layer 12. In addition, thetop layer 13 is provided with twoprotruded lips base layer 12 such that the top layer is larger in width than thebase layer 12 by a length of substantially from 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm. - Furthermore, the
top layer 13 is directly bonded to thetop side 12 a of thebase layer 12 at thebottom side 13 b thereof to form a strap body. As shown in FIG. 4, thetop layer 13 and thebase layer 12 are together spirally and overlappedly wound around thesleeve 11 of the grip. Aspace 12 c is formed under where the top layer is overlapped, i.e. among overlapped thetop layer 13, thebase layer 12, and the outer surface of thesleeve 11. Thebase layer 12 is adhered to the outer surface 11 a of thesleeve 11 between thefirst flange 11 c and theskirt portion 11 d directly or by an adhesive. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, theskirt portion 11 d is folded toward thefirst flange 11 c to form a second flange, which tightly covers a free end of the strap body spirally wound around the sleeve such that the strap body is firmly fixed on the outer surface 11 a of thesleeve 11. - The
protective strap 10 of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that thetop layer 13 is made of rubber and is smaller in thickness than thebase layer 12 and is larger in width than thebase layer 12. - Accordingly, the present invention includes advantages as follows:
- 1. By virtue of the specificity of rubber, the grip is excellent in shock absorption while holding by the user to hit balls.
- 2. The top layer of the strap of the grip is made of rubber such that the strap body will not be strained and then damaged to reduce the shock-absorptive effect as a result that the magnitude of the extension is much great while wound around the sleeve of the grip of the sporting apparatus by a preload.
- 3. Additionally, the top layer of the grip is made of rubber such that the grip will not be slippery even though the grip is stained with the water or the perspiration of the user's hand, or the grip is held to quickly hit balls.
- 4. The top layer is smaller in thickness than the base layer such that the comfortable effect of PU, of which the base layer is made, will be more outstanding than the top layer.
- 5. When the grip is rotated in a direction opposite to a direction in which the protective strap wound around the sleeve, since the top layer is larger in width than the base layer, such that the top layer will be partially deformed toward the space and absorb an external force, which causes damage, and the protective strap will not be turnup.
- Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the
protective strap 10 of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is formed of abase layer 12 made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and atop layer 13. Thebase layer 12 is fixedly wound around thehandle 2 of thegolf club shaft 1 directly or by an adhesive so as to form directly a grip on the handle of the golf club shaft without the aforesaid sleeve. Thetop layer 13 is larger in width than thebase layer 12 by the twoprotruded lips portions lips portions
