Abstract
Abstract A grip for sporting equipment comprises a first mat cloth strip, a foamed polyurethane strip and a second mat cloth strip sequentially adhered together in predetermined thickness. A resilient element of silicon elastoner is formed in the recesses inside the strips thereinbetween and a double faced tape is adhered on the top surface of the second mat cloth strip. So that the grip can be stuck and twined with the handle of the sporting equipments for providing shock absorbing effect thereon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A grip for sporting equipment, comprising: a first mat cloth strip having an elongated recess which extends substantially along the length of a first side of said first mat cloth strip, being disposed centrally between the lateral edges thereof; a foamed polyurethane strip attached to the second side of said first mat cloth strip; a resilient element, conforming in shape and dimension with said recess, disposed within said corresponding recess so as to form an elastomer therein upon curing; a second mat cloth strip, adhered to the first side of said first mat cloth strip, and a double face adhesive member attached to the exposed side of said second mat cloth strip providing an adhesive surface for attaching said grip to a handle; the two longitudinal edges of said grip are cut to form two inclined sides inwardly from said foamed polyurethane strip respectively.
