Abstract

Abstract A preformed net for V-shaped lacrosse stick head frames defining a tapered V-shape net area, the forward end of the frame being the wide area and the rear end of the frame being the narrower area having a handle extending rearwardly therefrom; and the method of constructing the net outside the frame. The net is formed in such a manner that the end of the net adapted to be secured to the forward end of the frame is of such width as to fit within the inside edge of the wide outer end of the frame, the width of the remaining portion of the net being wider than the tapered end of the V-shaped frame whereby when the preformed net is laced into the rear narrower portion of the frame the net will extend rearwardly of the frame to form a pocket for receiving and retaining the playing ball.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 219 words
The unassembled combination of a lacrosse stick head comprising a V-shaped frame and a separate preformed netting adapted to extend throughout the area within the boundaries of said frame; said frame having a pair of diverging side walls joined at a jointure and an outer end member connecting the outer ends of the side wall members to form a closed net area of substantially triangular form, said netting being of elongated form having one end of the netting of substantially the same width as the inside edges of the frame at the outer end of the sidewall members and the remaining portion of the net of greater width than the remaining portion of the net area extending between the sidewall members toward the juncture of the two side walls of the frame and means for tightly lacing the edge of the above mentioned end of the netting to the outer end member and the outer ends of the side walls and means for attaching the edge of the remainder of the netting to the remaining portions of the diverging side walls of the frame to a point adjacent the juncture of the side wall members, thereby automatically forming a pocket in the netting adjacent the jointure of the two side wall members when the head and netting are assembled.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 219 words
The unassembled combination of a lacrosse stick head comprising a V-shaped frame and a separate preformed netting adapted to extend throughout the area within the boundaries of said frame; said frame having a pair of diverging side walls joined at a jointure and an outer end member connecting the outer ends of the side wall members to form a closed net area of substantially triangular form, said netting being of elongated form having one end of the netting of substantially the same width as the inside edges of the frame at the outer end of the sidewall members and the remaining portion of the net of greater width than the remaining portion of the net area extending between the sidewall members toward the juncture of the two side walls of the frame and means for tightly lacing the edge of the above mentioned end of the netting to the outer end member and the outer ends of the side walls and means for attaching the edge of the remainder of the netting to the remaining portions of the diverging side walls of the frame to a point adjacent the juncture of the side wall members, thereby automatically forming a pocket in the netting adjacent the jointure of the two side wall members when the head and netting are assembled.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
