Abstract

A baseball bat includes a body, a holding area formed at one end of the body and a hitting area formed on the other end of the body. An elongated annular recess is defined in the hitting area and an elastic tube is securely mounted on the body to enclose the elongated annular recess so that the elastic tube is suspended on top of the elongated annular recess and provides a recovery ability to the elastic tube after being impacted by a baseball.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A baseball bat comprising a body, a holding area formed at one end of the body and a hitting area formed on the other end of the body, wherein the improvement comprises: 
 an elongated annular recess is adapted to be defined in the hitting area and an elastic tube is securely mounted on the body to enclose the elongated annular recess so that the elastic tube is suspended on top of the elongated annular recess and provides a recovery ability to the elastic tube after being impacted by a baseball.    
   
   
       2 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elongated annular recess has a depth at the range between 3˜20 mm.  
   
   
       3 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein two annular shoulders are respectively formed on two ends of the elongated annular recess to engage with two ends of the elastic tube.  
   
   
       4 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein two annular shoulders are respectively formed on two ends of the elongated annular recess to engage with two ends of the elastic tube.  
   
   
       5 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the elastic tube is made of fiberglass and has a thickness at the range between 0.04˜1 mm.  
   
   
       6 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the elastic tube is made of fiberglass and has a thickness at the range between 0.04˜1 mm.  
   
   
       7 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the elastic tube is made of metal and has a thickness at the range between 0.5˜1.6 mm.  
   
   
       8 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the elastic tube is made of metal and has a thickness at the range between 0.5˜1.6 mm.  
   
   
       9 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the elastic tube is made of plastic and has a thickness at the range between 0.8˜2.5 mm.  
   
   
       10 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the elastic tube is made of plastic and has a thickness at the range between 0.8˜2.5 mm.  
   
   
       11 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a core formed on a bottom face defining the elongated annular recess and multiple elastic rings mounted around the core to securely engage with the elastic tube to reduce an impact force from the baseball.  
   
   
       12 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 2  further comprising a core formed on a bottom face defining the elongated annular recess and multiple elastic rings mounted around the core to securely engage with the elastic tube to reduce an impact force from the baseball.  
   
   
       13 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 3  further comprising a core formed on a bottom face defining the elongated annular recess and multiple elastic rings mounted around the core to securely engage with the elastic tube to reduce an impact force from the baseball.  
   
   
       14 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 4  further comprising a core formed on a bottom face defining the elongated annular recess and multiple elastic rings mounted around the core to securely engage with the elastic tube to reduce an impact force from the baseball.  
   
   
       15 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 5  further comprising a core formed on a bottom face defining the elongated annular recess and multiple elastic rings mounted around the core to securely engage with the elastic tube to reduce an impact force from the baseball.  
   
   
       16 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 6  further comprising a core formed on a bottom face defining the elongated annular recess and multiple elastic rings mounted around the core to securely engage with the elastic tube to reduce an impact force from the baseball.  
   
   
       17 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 7  further comprising a core formed on a bottom face defining the elongated annular recess and multiple elastic rings mounted around the core to securely engage with the elastic tube to reduce an impact force from the baseball.  
   
   
       18 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elastic tube is integrally formed with the body.  
   
   
       19 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the body has a hollow core formed on a bottom face defining the recess and having a thickness larger than a thickness of the elastic tube.  
   
   
       20 . The baseball bat as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a transparent film is adapted to be mounted around the hitting area.
