Abstract:
Rubber sheets of various compounds are glued to the outer surfaces of
pickle ball paddles made of plastic, wood, fiberglass, aluminum or
graphite.Claims:
1. Covering the hard outer surfaces of a pickle ball paddle with a rubber
sheet product improves the paddle by attenuating the objectionable loud
sound produced when the ball contacts the paddle.
2. Covering the hard and slick outer surfaces of a pickle ball paddle with a more tacky rubber surface, increases the player's ability to create spin thereby hitting better controlled shots.
Description:
[0001] The Silencer is a method and concept of improving the manufacture
of pickle ball paddles (as shown by FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) by covering core
face of the paddle, which can be made of plastic, wood, fiberglass
aluminum or graphite (labeled #1 in the drawings), with a rubber product
(labeled #2 in the drawings), the result of which is to attenuate the
loud sound produced by the ball striking a paddle which is not covered
with a rubber product.
[0002] FIG. 1 shows the Top View with the rubber (labeled #2) being overlaid onto the core face (labeled #1) of the paddle. FIG. 2 shows the Side View with the rubber (labeled #2) affixed to the core face (labeled #1) of the paddle.
[0003] The Silencer eliminates or reduces the primary objection to Pickle Ball and Pickle Ball courts; that being the loud sound produced when the ball strikes the paddle. Additionally, the rubber product provides more ball control to the player.
[0004] Under this patent, the holder of the patent would produce or cause to be produced from the beginning of the paddle manufacturing process through the end product delivering a paddle (labeled #1 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in the drawings) that is ready for play. The patent holder would also modify existing paddles owned by the end user, by attaching a rubber product (labeled #2 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in the drawings) to the face of that paddle, or providing the rubber product in a pre-cut form which can be added to a paddle face by the user.
