Abstract
An anti-vibration, anti-shock handle for rackets for tennis and similar sports, in which between the shank (2) of the racket frame (1) and the proper handle, consisting of two half shells (8,9), a plurality of shock absorbing elements (6,6') are interposed, made of soft material, such as elastomer, gel or the like, spaced out from each other in such a way as to leave empty spaces (12).
Description
- The present invention refers to an anti-vibration handle for rackets for tennis, squash and similar sports, which is completely insulated from the frame, and a related method of production.
- The sections of tennis racket frames have undergone an evolution in recent years, becoming narrower, profiled and higher.
- These new generation rackets, defined as "wide body", have:
- more rigidity and greater ability to drive the ball,
- vibrations which have higher frequency but lower amplitude and duration with respect to those of the old generation, having a more "rounding" frame section.
- It is well known that a tennis player is subject to frequent risks of inflammation and injuries to the fore-arm and especially the elbow (an illness known as epicondylitis or tennis elbow).
- These situations are due to the combined action of:
- vibrations of the racket which are transmitted to the upper limb of the player;
- shock due to the impact of the ball on the strung surface of the racket, which is also transmitted to the player.
- As already stated, in the "wide body" racket the influence of the vibration factor is reduced, but the shock factor is increased.
- To reduce the latter, attempts have been made to insulate the rackets from the handle, for example by interrupting it and joining it to the grip by interposing an elastic joint. This system is quite valid but very expensive.
- Other system consist in injecting soft materials around the shank of the racket before molding the octagonal polyurethane handle thereon, or in padding the binding band (grip) with soft material before winding it around the handle.
- Although these techniques are cheaper they are not very effective.
- Another proposed system consists in using a hollow detachable handle, inside of which an expensive complex fastening element is inserted, made of a light alloy, incorporating rubber insulating elements.
- This system is very expesive and has been unsuccessful on the market, both because of the exorbitant price of racket, which is more than twice the price of a quality racket, and because it tends to vary the ideal static and dynamic balancing of the racket, which in consequence loses some of its playability.
- US-A-4 660 832 describes an anti-shock and anti-vibration handle for tennis rackets and the like, wherein between the shank and the external shell a tubular shock absorber element is foreseen, substantially extending throughout the length of the handle. According to another form of realization, in the place of the tubular element, a plurality of parallel longitudinal strips is foreseen, also extending throughout the length of the handle. According to one of the embodiments, said external shell made of aluminum, plastics or the like, is in two halves.
- The solution described in the above document is not satisfying, since the longitudinal continuity of the tubular element or of the strips favours the diffusion of vibrations from the frame to the end portion of the handle, where the utilizer normally seizes the same, existing a continuing link between the shank and the external shell.
- The aim of this invention is to provide a racket for tennis or similar sports, with very good insulation of the handle from the frame, and which is of low cost, without alterations in its balancing or weight.
- This aim has been achieved, according to the invention, by foreseeing at least one element made of soft material, for example elastomer or gel, between the shank of the frame and the handle suitably spaced out from each other, in the form of strips which are wound onto the shank of the frame, or of closed rings which are fitted onto the shank.
- According to the invention, the external dimension of the shank are reduced by the thickness corresponding to the shock absorbing elements which are positioned on it.
- The procedure according to the invention consists in
- applying onto the shank of the frame the soft shock absorbing elements, made for example of elastomer or gel, in the form of strips which are wound round and glued onto the shank, or of rings which are fitted onto it;
- realizing separetely two half shells, preferably equal, which will form the racket handle;
- assemblying the two half shells, onto the shock absorbing elements of the shank, gluing them onto it and compressing them together so as to compress said shock absorbing elements slightly and to be able to glue the matching limbs of the two half shells.
- In this way an applied handle is obtained which is completely insulated from the inner shank making up part of the frame, by means of the shock absorbing elements made of soft material such as elastomer or similar materials, and by empty spaces between the elements.
- Finally the bottom is mounted and the grip is wrapped round in the traditional manner, completing the locking of the parts together.
- It can be seen, therefore, that with the procedure according to the invention, the handle is made separately in two half shells, for example by molding expanded polyurethane, instead of being injected onto the shank of the frame.
- According to the present invention, the link between the half-shells and the inner shank, which is carried out in the form of longitudinal transverse discontinuous lines, makes the same half-shells a system which does not resonate with the vibration propagating along the inner shank.
- Further characteristics of the invention will be more clearly understood from the detailed description which follows, referring to the one of its purely exemplary and therefore not restrictive embodiments, illustrated in the appended drawings, in which:
- figure 1
- is a view, partly in longitudinal section, of a handle of a racket for tennis or similar sports according to the invention;
- figure 2
- is an enlarged transverse section taken along line II-II in figure 1;
- figure 3
- is a partially exploded view, showing in diagrammatic form the assembly phases of the handle according to the invention;
- figure 4
- is an end view of a modified embodiment of a shock absorbing element of the handle according to the invention before assembly onto the shank of the racket frame; figure 5 is a median section taken along line V-V of figure 4;
- figure 6
- is a section like the one in figure 5, showing the shock absorbing element after assembly and compression.
- In figure 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a monolith frame (shown only in part) of a racket for tennis or similar sports, obtained for example by molding suitable materials, such as glass fibre, carbon and suchlike, impregnated with suitable resins.
- In the appended figures the
shank 2 is shown as being of circular section, with twoinner cavities bulkhead 5. It is obvious, however, that theshank 2 can have any type of section, and possibly also only one inner cavity, since this does not have any effect on the aims of the invention. - On the other hand, the invention requires a reduction of the outer dimensions of the section of the
shank 2 with respect to those of a traditional racket with the same outer dimensions of the handle, for the insertion of the shock absorbing elements, which will now be described. - According to the invention, a plurality of shock absorbing elements 6 (four in the shown example) are positioned around the
shank 2, spaced out from each other, for the purpose of insulating the handle from the frame 1 completely. - The shock absorbing or
insulating elements 6 are preferably strips of elastomer, gel of similar soft materials, which are wound round and glued onto theshank 2, as can be seen in diagrammatic form in figure 3. One or both of the faces of thestrips 6 may possibly be provided withnotches 7, for the adhesive to hold better, between the strips and the shank and possibly between the strips and the outer handle, as will be dealt with below. - The handle is made of two
half shells half shell longitudinal cavity 10 which reproduces the outer profile of theshank 2, a semi-circular cavity in the shown example, in such a way that the coupling of the twohalf shells shank 2, onto which theshock absorbing elements 6 have previously been positioned. - During the coupling of the two
half shells - The coupling of the two
half shells elastomer strips 6 slightly and cause the half shells themselves to adhere, after putting glue or two-sided adhesive material between thematching edges 11 of the half shells. - Finally the bottom is assembled onto the
shank 2 and the grip is wrapped round in the traditional manner, completing the locking of the parts together. - A handle is thus obtained which is completly insulated from the
inner shank 2 making up part of the racket frame 1, by means of the strips ofelastomer 6, thus eliminating all the problems described above. - In figure 4 and 5 a modified embodiment of the shock absorbing or insulating element is shown, in the form of a closed ring 6', which is fitted onto the
shank 2. - In figure 6 the decrease in the thickness of the ring 6' is seen (the same obviously holds good for the
strips 6 also), after assembly and compression due to the coupling of the twohalf shells - From what has been shown above the advantage of the solution proposed by the invention are clear to see, in that it is extremely simple and economical, and allows the handle to be insulated from the
shank 2 by means of theelastomer elements 6, which are separated from each other byempty spaces 12. - This longitudinal discontinuous link between the
shank 2 and thehalf shells
