Abstract
A baseball bat having a body with spaced ends, a barrel region at one end and a handle region at the other end. A safety assembly has an elongate member that extends through at least a part of the body and is connected at spaced first and second locations to the body. The elongate member is operable to at least momentarily exert a restraining force on a fragmented part of the barrel region to thereby avoid unimpeded movement of the fragmented part of the barrel region away from the handle region.
Claims20
A baseball bat comprising:
- a body having spaced ends, a barrel region at one end and a handle region at the other end;
- and
- a safety assembly comprising an inelastic elongate member that extends through at least a part of the body and is connected at spaced first and second locations to the body,
- the inelastic elongate member operable to at least momentarily exert a restraining force on a fragmented part of the barrel region to thereby avoid unimpeded movement of the fragmented part of the barrel region away from the handle region,
- the inelastic elongate member is configured so that the fragmented part of the barrel region is allowed to move separately and away a predetermined distance from the handle region with the inelastic elongate member staying intact.
