Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to bats, in particular to a
safety basketball bat which can prevent a broken section of a bat
to fly out so a to prevent from dangerous accident.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0002] It is often that the bat breaks when the player waves the
bat. Possibly, the break section of the bat will beat somebody to
induce accidents. Thus there are many designs aimed at improving
the above mentioned defects for preventing the broken bat to fly
out. In one prior art, a long channel is formed at a slender
section of the bat and a rib is received in the channel for
enhancing the structure of the bat.
[0003] However in the prior art, the rib in the channel is combined
to the channel. Thus the prior art defect cannot be improved
effectively.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to
provide a safety basketball bat which is made of wood or other
material and which can prevent a broken section of a bat to fly out
so a to prevent from dangerous accident. The safety basketball bat
of the present invention comprises: a bat body; a hollow channel
penetrating through a top end and a distal end of the bat body; a
tube body installed in the hollow channel; one opening at one end
of the hollow channel being installed with an inner thread; a stop
ring being installed at another opening at another end of the
hollow channel; an outer diameter of the stop ring being larger
than an outer diameter of the tube body; and a tightening cover
with an outer thread engaged with the inner thread for tightening
the tube body within the bat body. Or no stop ring is used. Two
tightening covers are installed at two ends of the hollow
channel.
[0005] The various objects and advantages of the present invention
will be more readily understood from the following detailed
description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] In order that those skilled in the art can further
understand the present invention, a description will be provided in
the following in details. However, these descriptions and the
appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art
to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the
present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and
spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
[0017] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the safety basketball bat of the
present invention is illustrated. The safety basketball bat of the
present invention is a wood bat or a bat made of other material.
The safety basketball bat of the present invention includes a bat
body 1. A hollow channel 11 penetrates through a top end and a
distal end of the bat body 1. A tube body 2 is installed in the
hollow channel 11. One opening at one end of the hollow channel 11
is installed with an inner thread 21. A stop ring 22 is installed
at another opening at another end of the hollow channel 11. An
outer diameter of the stop ring 22 is larger than an outer diameter
of the tube body 2. A tightening cover 3 with an outer thread 31 is
engaged with the inner thread 21 for tightening the tube body 2
within the bat body 1. Thus, when the bat body 1 breaks as the bat
body 1 is waved, the break section of the bat body 1 will not fly
out so as to achieve the object of safety in playing
basketball.
[0018] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 10, the second embodiment of the
present invention is illustrated. The safety basketball bat of the
present invention is a wood bat or a bat made of other material.
The safety basketball bat of the present invention includes a bat
body 1. A hollow channel 11 penetrates through a top end and a
distal end of the bat body 1. A tube body 2 is installed in the
hollow channel 11. Each of two openings at one end of the hollow
channel 11 is installed with an inner thread 21. Each inner thread
21 is engaged with a tightening cover 3 for tightening the tube
body 2 within the bat body 1. Thus, when the bat body 1 breaks as
the bat body 1 is waved, the break section of the bat body 1 will
not fly out so as to achieve the object of safety in playing
basketball.
[0019] In FIGS. 1 to 5, an outer diameter of the stop ring 22 is
larger than an inner diameter of the hollow channel 11. In FIGS. 1
to 10, an outer diameter of the tube body 2 is equal to or smaller
than an inner diameter of the hollow channel 11. The tube body 2
may be a metal tube body or a non-metal tube body. The inner
diameters of the hollow channel 11 are designable for setting the
weight distribution of the bat. An outer diameter of the tightening
cover 3 is larger than the inner diameters of the two openings of
the hollow channel 11.
[0020] Therefore, by the design of the present invention, when the
bat body 1 breaks as the bat body 1 is waved, the break section of
the bat body 1 will not fly out so as to achieve the object of
safety in playing basketball.
[0021] The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious
that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not
to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the
present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious
to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the
scope of the following claims.
