An artificial feather for shuttlecocks comprises a stem (4) and a vane composed of two separate vane portions (2, 3) made of a foamed plastics material. These three components are interconnected by means of two longitudinally extending adhesive strips (11), one on each of the opposed surfaces of the vane. In an area adjoining the tip (8) of the feather the adhesive strips protrude beyond the front edges (12, 13) of the vane portions and beyond the end face (7) of the stem, and in this area the adhesive strips are connected directly with one another in superposed relationship, whereby they form part of the vane (1). There is obtained an increase in the ability of the feather to resist the impact loads to which it is exposed, and thus an increase of the life of the shuttlecock. <IMAGE> |
