A skate frame (1) comprises a lower frame portion (2) comprising gliding means (20) for running on a gliding surface and an upper frame portion (3) comprising one or more support surfaces (31a, 31b) for supporting the user's boot. Both the frame portions comprise protruding arms (311, 312, 313, 314, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216) that are mechanically coupled. The mutual interlock between the coupling surfaces of said protruding arms prevent relative movements between the frame portions along predefined directions.
A sports racquet comprising a handle portion, a paddle portion, which is provided with at least a solid ball striking surface, and a neck portion, which rigidly connects said handle portion and said paddle portion. The paddle portion comprises at least a first cavity having a first longitudinal axis, which is substantially unperpendicular to said main reference plane.
A sports stick structure (10) comprising a handle (12) and a striking end (34) adapted to contact and propel an object The handle comprises a hollow tube having one or more ports (58) extending through opposite faces of said hollow tube. Each port is defined at partially by internal walls formed at the opposite faces of said hollow tube.
A billiard cue formed of at least two hollow tubes, said cue having a longitudinal axis and a diameter which varies along said axis, first portions (22a) of said tubes farming an outer wall of said cue and defining an interior of said cue characterized in that second portions (22b) of said tubes extend across the interior of said cue and are bonded to one another, at least along much of the length of said cue, thereby to form an internal reinforcing wall.

A sports pole comprises a handle, a tip and a shaft between said handle and said tip. The ports pole comprises at least a pole portion, which is formed of at least a hollow tube having at least one port extending through opposite wall portions of said tube.
A structure for a lacrosse head is described by using multiple composite tubes bonded to one another, wherein apertures, or 'ports,' are molded between the tubes to improve the stiffness, strength, ball control, netting attachment and aerodynamics of the lacrosse head. Further aspects of the present invention relate also to a lacrosse stick and a lacrosse handle component having a multi-tube structure.
A article of furniture is formed of multiple composite tubes bonded to one another along a common wall, wherein apertures, or 'ports,' are molded between the tubes to improve the stiffness, strength, resiliency, and aesthetics of the furniture.
A handle is adapted to be held by a player and a striking end is adapted to contact and propel an object. A structure for a hockey stick is described by using multiple composite tubes bonded to one another, wherein openings (58) are molded between the tubes and inserts (27) are positioned in the openings to improve the stiffness, strength, aerodynamics and comfort of the hockey stick.
A boat oar has a shaft formed of a single, hollow tube of composite material, wherein tubular 'ports' extend through the hollow tube. The ends of the ports are bonded to the walls of the hollow tube. The ports improve the stiffness, strength, aerodynamics and comfort of the boat oar.
A bicycle frame (12) has a plurality of tubes (14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28) , at least one of which is a single, hollow tube of composite material, wherein tubular 'ports' (30, 32, 44, 51, 58) extend through the hollow tube. The ends of the ports are bonded to the walls of the hollow tube. The ports improve the stiffness, strength, aerodynamics and comfort of the bicycle frame component .

A structure for a high heel for footwear is described by using multiple composite tubes bonded to one another, wherein apertures, or 'ports,' are molded between the tubes to improve the stiffness, strength, comfort and aesthetics of the shoe.
A golf club head has a face, a hosel, and a hollow body. The body includes an outer peripheral region, when viewed from above, and center portions on the upper surface and sole, respectively. The outer peripheral region has a weight-per-unit of surface area which is greater than the weight-per-unit of surface area of the center portions. The weight differential may be accomplished by molding ports into the hollow body around the periphery, which contain weight plugs. Alternately or in addition, a vertically oriented port may extend through the center portions to reduce weight.
