Hockey stick with reinforcement filament winding

摘要

A hockey stick in which the blade and the junction of the blade with the handle are reinforced by a winding of a high tensile strength yarn adhered with an epoxy resin or other appropriate adhesive. The yarn is wound under tension in spiral and does not intersect itself, so that the hockey stick is covered with only one layer of the yarn. Preferably, woven fiberglass sheets are positioned against the sides and the bottom edge of the blade underneath the yarn winding which holds said sheets in position during manufacture; preferably, also, a heel portion of plastic material is applied against the wooden heel and surrounded by the woven fiberglass sheet and the yarn winding.
