Lacrosse Head With Separable Parts

Abstract

A lacrosse stick comprising a lacrosse head and a lacrosse handle. The head comprises a scoop removably attached to a throat. The scoop and the throat can be disassembled from one another to allow replacement of the individual components of the head. The head can comprise a throat, a scoop, and first and second sidewalls connecting the throat to the scoop. Each sidewall can include a top support spaced from a bottom support. A removable stanchion can be spaced between one of the top supports and one of the bottom supports. The scoop can include a molded first armature attached to a second molded armature wherein the second molded armature can be positioned substantially between the first molded armature and the throat. A handle can be integrally connected to the head. The throat can be molded with the handle such that the handle can be inseparable from the throat.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0019]In an alternate embodiment the lacrosse head further includes first and second top supports and first and second bottom supports positioned between the throat and the scoop. The first and second top supports are fixed to the throat and removably attached to the scoop while the first and second bottom supports are fixed to the scoop and removably attached to the throat. As such the combination of a removable scoop fixed to the bottom supports, wherein the bottom supports are removably attached to the throat, facilitates a quick replacement of a preassembled lacrosse pocket when the preassembled lacrosse pocket is attached to the removable scoop and bottom supports. The scoop and the bottom supports can be designed to correspond directly to top supports and a throat to result in an overall lacrosse head.

[0026]Yet still another object of the present invention is to provide a lacrosse head having multiple removable sections whereby a lacrosse pocket can be easily replaced.

[0032]And yet another object of the present invention is to provide a lacrosse head having removable clips facilitating the replacement of a lacrosse net.

[0033]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an open sidewall design that can be made such that the upper rail is one material and the lower rail is another material with each rail being more easily molded, manufactured and / or made from a fiber composite material.

[0034]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a rotating upper rail that can improve ball control, pocket control, and pocket depth.

[0035]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a rotating lower rail that can improve ball control, pocket control, and pocket depth.

Problems solved by technology

As such, this patent does not facilitate the individual replacement of the structural components of the lacrosse head.

These and other patents fail to recognize the utility in a lacrosse head having separable sections such that individual sections of the lacrosse head and stick can be individually replaced as various components weaken, fail, or are redesign with future improvements.

Further, these patents fail to recognize the benefits of having different parts of the lacrosse head made of differing materials.

This needed lacrosse stick is presently lacking in the art.
