Coating for table tennis racket, has striking layer whose front face is in contact with ball and rear face is in contact with deformation layer, where striking layer and deformation layer are made of thermoplastic elastomer material

摘要

The coating (13) has a striking layer (16) whose front face is in contact with a ball and rear face is in contact with a deformation layer (17). The striking layer and the deformation layer are made of a compact cellular thermoplastic elastomer material such that the coating has apparent density of about 0.3 to 0.75. A bonding layer (18) made of thermoplastic material extends from the deformation layer opposite to the striking layer, where the bonding layer includes adhesive for fixing the coating on a table tennis racket. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for manufacturing coating (2) a table tennis racket.
