Bat customization system

摘要

An apparatus for releasable attachment to a handle of a ball bat includes a base fixedly coupled to a proximal end of the handle of the bat, and at least one knob releasably coupled to the base. The base includes knob-engaging structure. The knob includes base-engaging structure to cooperate with the knob engaging structure to inhibit rotation of the knob with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bat.

主权项

1. An apparatus for releasable attachment to a handle of a ball bat having a longitudinal axis, the handle having a proximal end with a proximal end surface, the apparatus comprising:
a base fixedly coupled to the proximal end of the handle of the bat, the base including knob-engaging structure; and at least first and second knobs releasably and selectably coupled to the base, each of the at least first and second knobs including base-engaging structure to cooperate with the knob engaging structure to inhibit rotation of the knob with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bat, the first knob including a first head having a first top surface, the second knob including a neck and a second head having a second top surface, the neck portion extending from the proximal end surface and along the outer surface of the proximal end of the handle and supporting the second head, the first and second top surfaces having first and second axial positions about the longitudinal axis of the bat, respectively, the second axial position being positioned further from the proximal end surface of the bat than the first axial position by a predetermined distance, the entire head of the second knob being spaced apart from the proximal end surface of the bat.
