Abstract

Described is a baseball bat having a cavity in the knob for housing sensor(s). The cavity, sized to accommodate sensor(s), provides a secure and discrete method of coupling sensor(s) to baseball bats.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A baseball bat having a cavity in the knob end of a bat, sized to accommodate sensor(s). 
     
     
         2 . A baseball bat having a cavity in the knob end of a bat sized to accommodate motion sensor(s). 
     
     
         3 . A baseball bat having a cavity in the knob end of a bat, sized to fit sensor(s), aligned on the central longitudinal axis of a bat. 
     
     
         4 . A baseball bat having a cavity in the knob end of a bat, sized to fit sensor(s), aligned on the central longitudinal axis of a bat and perpendicularly oriented to the central axis of a bat. 
     
     
         5 . The combination of any of the preceding claims wherein the knob comprises a cavity at the grip end of the knob sized to accommodate a motion sensor, and the combination further comprises an electronic motion sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a generally rectangular shape. 
     
     
         7 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a generally octagonal shape. 
     
     
         8 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a generally oval shape. 
     
     
         9 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a generally round shape. 
     
     
         10 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a shape centrally aligned on the central longitudinal axis of the bat. 
     
     
         11 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a depth of 1/32″ to ¼″ 
     
     
         12 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a depth of ¼″ to ⅜″ 
     
     
         13 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a depth of ¼″ to “to ½” 
     
     
         14 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a depth of ¼″ to “to ⅝” 
     
     
         15 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a depth of ⅜″ to “to ⅝” 
     
     
         16 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a depth of ½″ to “to ¾” 
     
     
         17 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a depth of ½″ to “to 1” 
     
     
         18 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims having a cap, shaped and sized to cover the sensor inside the cavity. 
     
     
         19 . The volume of the cavity of the preceding claims having a volume equal to the volume of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         20 . The volume of the cavity of the preceding claims having a volume equal to 100% to 110% of the volume of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         21 . The volume of the cavity of the preceding claims having a volume equal to 110% to 120% of the volume of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         22 . The volume of the cavity of the preceding claims having a volume equal to 120% to 130% of the volume of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         23 . The cavity of the preceding claims having a displaced mass equal to 70% to 80% of the mass of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         24 . The cavity of the preceding claims having a displaced mass equal to 80% to 90% of the mass of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         25 . The cavity of the preceding claims having a displaced mass equal to 90% to 100% of the mass of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         26 . The cavity of the preceding claims having a displaced mass equal to 100% to 110% of the mass of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         27 . The cavity of the preceding claims having a displaced mass equal to 110% to 120% of the mass of the sensor housed in the cavity. 
     
     
         28 . The cap of the preceding claims having an adhesive sticker, sized and shaped to cover the sensor inside the cavity. 
     
     
         29 . The cap of the preceding claims having a retaining ring to hold the sensor inside the cavity. 
     
     
         30 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims aligned on the central longitudinal axis of the bat. 
     
     
         31 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims being covered with a shock absorbing material to aid in holding the sensor(s) in place. 
     
     
         32 . The cavity of any of the preceding claims used to house sensor(s) to be in turn used communicate data for use in assessment of a batters swing. 
     
     
         33 . A hollow baseball bat of any of the preceding claims having a cavity in the knob end of a bat, sized to accommodate sensor(s).
