ARTIFICIAL FEATHER FOR SHUTTLECOCK SHUTTLECOCK FOR BADMINTON AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR ARTIFICIAL FEATHER AND SHUTTLECOCK

摘要

An artificial feather for a shuttlecock, a shuttlecock for a badminton, and a method of manufacturing the same are provided that suppress deterioration of flight characteristics and have high durability. The artificial feathers (3) for a shuttlecock have a feather portion and a feather axis connected to the feather portion. The cross-sectional shape in a plane perpendicular to the extending direction of the feather axis is a rectangular shape, and the feather axis includes a uniaxially drawn material. In this case, since the feather axis includes the uniaxially stretched material, the characteristics of the uniaxially stretched material (the characteristic that the extent of the elastically deformable warp is wider than that of the usual resin material) Even when the shuttlecock 1 using the feathers 3 is struck by the racket, the feather axis of the artificial feather 3 is temporarily deformed by the impact caused by the impact, and then returns to its original shape without being bent. Therefore, the durability against impact by the racket can be improved compared with the artificial feather of the prior art.
