Benefits of technology

[0007]In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a spiral wound type grip tape, so that the users can easily wind the grip tape on the grip of the sports equipment of golf clubs, baseball bats, or tennis rackets by themselves. In addition, no adhesive resin is used in the spiral wound type grip tape of the present invention, so that the aging or inferior problem of the adhesive resin can be eliminated and the life time of the grip tape can be increased. Moreover, there is no rubber sleeve involved in the spiral wound type grip tape of the present invention and the spiral wound type grip tape can be applied to the grips of any sports equipment with different specifications so as to facilitate users to purchase, and the production lines can be simplified and the production cost can also be reduced for manufacturers.

[0009]The spiral wound type grip tape of the present invention can have effects of easy installation, low price, comfortable use, long using life, easy selection and purchase, and so on.

Problems solved by technology

If the conventional grip tape is not successfully wound on the grip of sports equipment, the conventional grip tapes must be taken off and scrapped, and the user has to buy new grip tapes to rewind again; however, normal users are not familiar with the winding skills, so that they will fail again and again so as to waste time and money.

However, by hiring an expert, an additional cost will be incurred.

In addition, because the grip tape is a consumptive product, it will wear out and has to be replaced often.

If every times a user has to rely on an expert to wind the grip tape, the user will feel very inconvenient if the user has unexpectedly to replace the grip tapes in the ball field.

The adhesive resin will be accelerately aged and inferior by sweat in hand and dust in the environment, so that the replace frequency of the grip tape will become more often, which will not only greatly bother the user but certainly bring inconvenient for the user.

Therefore, many production lines have to setup for producing small quantity of the grip sleeves or the production lines have to change over frequently for each specification or pattern, so that economic benefit can not be met.

Also, users have to buy the grip sleeves according to the specifications and the patterns of their sports equipment, which will really bother the users in purchasing or using.
