Racket

Abstract

A racket includes a rigid support, a foam core covering the rigid support, and two panels covering the foam core. The rigid support includes a first frame and a second frame connected to the first frame. The first frame has a plurality of through holes. The foam core includes a foam body made up of a plurality of foam particles and a foam handle. The foam body covers the entire first frame and fills up the through holes, and the foam handle covers the entire second frame, wherein one of the panels is bonded to the foam core and covers the entire top surface of the foam core, and the other panel is bonded to the foam core and covers the entire bottom surface of the foam core.

1 . A racket, comprising:
 a rigid support, comprising a first frame and a second frame connected to the first frame, wherein the first frame has a plurality of through holes;   a foam core, made up of a plurality of foam particles, comprising a foam body and a foam handle, wherein the foam body covers the entire first frame and fills up all the through holes, the foam handle covers the entire second frame; and   two panels, bonded to a top surface of the foam core and a bottom surface of the foam core respectively, and covered the entire top surface and the entire bottom surface respectively.   
     
     
         2 . The racket of  claim 1 , wherein the two panels cover an entire periphery of the foam core together. 
     
     
         3 . The racket of  claim 2 , wherein a peripheral edge of one of the panels and a peripheral edge of the other panel are all connected but does not overlap. 
     
     
         4 . The racket of  claim 3 , wherein the intersection between the peripheral edges of the two panels is located at the periphery of the foam core. 
     
     
         5 . The racket of  claim 4 , wherein each panel comprises a foam skin and a non-foam plastic film formed on an entire outer surface of the foam skin, and wherein an entire inner surface of the foam skin of one of the panels is bonded to the entire top surface of the foam core, and the entire inner surface of the foam skin of the other panel is bonded to the entire bottom surface of the foam core. 
     
     
         6 . The racket of  claim 1 , wherein the first frame and the second frame of the rigid support are integrally formed and the intersection between the first frame and the second frame is configured to form a reinforced structure. 
     
     
         7 . The racket of  claim 6 , wherein the first frame of the rigid support includes a plurality of interconnected ribs, and these ribs form those through holes. 
     
     
         8 . The racket of  claim 7 , wherein the ribs are hollow. 
     
     
         9 . The racket of  claim 8 , wherein the rigid support includes an upper portion and a lower portion that can be joined together. 
     
     
         10 . The racket of  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the second frame is greater than the thickness of the first frame.
