Abstract
An artificial bat end device for temporarily adjusting the length of a bat by using an adjustable ring having a thickness sufficient to simulate the butt end of a bat with the ring also having the capability to conform to the handle of a bat and be forcibly held in place on the bat's handle.
Claims2
An artificial bat end comprising:
- (a) a noncontinuous adjustable band, said band having a thickness sufficient to simulate a butt end of a bat;
- and
- (b) a constrictor having a left and a right end, wherein one of said left and right end of said constrictor is permanently attached to said band and wherein said constrictor further has a hook and loop fastener gripping surface, said hook and loop fastener gripping surface of said constrictor attaching to said band and being capable of applying sufficient force to said band to releasably secure said band on a handle of a bat such that said band can be independently secured at any point along a handle of a bat to prevent easy axial movement of a bat band along said handle.
An artificial bat end comprising:
- (a) a noncontinuous adjustable band, said band having a thickness sufficient to simulate a butt end of a bat;
- and
- (b) a constrictor having a left and a right end, wherein one of said left and right end of said constrictor is permanently attached to said band and wherein said constrictor further has at least one snap, said snap being capable of attaching to said band and being capable of applying sufficient force to said band to releasably secure said band on a handle of a bat such that said band can be independently secured at any point along a handle of a bat to prevent easy axial movement of said band along a bat handle.
