- the present invention relates to a racquet for ball games, in particular a tennis, badminton, racquetball or squash racket.
- the invention further relates to a method for producing such a racket.
- Such ball game rackets typically include a frame forming a club head, and a handle portion. Furthermore, such clubs may have a arranged between the head area and the handle area neck or heart area or a fork.
- the club head defines a clothing plane in which the clothing of the racket is arranged.
- through holes for the implementation of stringed strings are provided. These through holes may be U-shaped, as described for example in US 6 638 187 Bl, so that the strings are deflected substantially in the frame profile without passing through it.
- the present invention is based on the idea of forming in a ball game rack transparent or translucent sections, which are integrally connected to the remaining frame of the ball game racket. It has surprisingly been found that the transparent or translucent sections at least neutral, in some cases even beneficial effect on the stiffness or the torsional behavior and thus on the playability of the ball game racket.
- the present application provides a ball game racket having a frame having a head portion for receiving a string and a grip portion for holding the racket.
- the frame has at least one transparent or translucent portion formed of a transparent or translucent material, which is integrally connected to the rest of the frame.
- an integral connection is to be understood as an essentially one-piece connection that is not (non-destructive) detachable. That is, the two sections should in particular not be screwed, riveted, plugged or otherwise releasably secured to each other, but preferably be formed into a frame in a common molding process. In this molding process, the two sections are preferably formed and joined together in a single step. Apart from the transparency of the one section, no difference between the individual frame sections is preferably recognizable, in particular no fastening and / or transition areas. In particular, no separate attachment layer, for example an adhesive layer or an adhesive tape, should be inserted between the sections, which is formed, for example, by a subsequent gluing of the sections. Forming the two sections in a common molding process has the advantage over, for example, subsequent bonding that fewer processing steps are required and an integral appearance is achieved.
- transparent or translucent is to be referred to in this application, a material that allows a certain view through the material.
- a material may for example be completely transparent or transparent, as it is known from glass or a comparable clear, transparent material.
- the material may be slightly cloudy or milky translucent, such as frosted glass or roughened Plexiglas.
- the transparent or translucent material should at least allow a player. although under certain circumstances only blurry, can recognize structures in it.
- the translucent or transparent material has a transparent resin such as, for example, structur R366T. It is further preferred that the transparent or translucent material comprises glass fibers.

- a ball game racket having a frame having a head portion for receiving a string and a grip portion for holding the racket.
- the frame has at least one transparent or translucent section, which has a transparent resin and / or a glass fiber material.
- a glass fiber material makes it possible to meet the above-mentioned high demands on the mechanical strength of the racket.
- it has been achieved by the use of glass fiber, in particular of certain types of glass fiber, to provide a racket which is not inferior to known rackets of carbon fiber reinforced materials in terms of stability.
- E glass, T glass and S glass and combinations thereof have proven to be particularly advantageous.
- the transparent or translucent section consists essentially exclusively of transparent resin and fiberglass material.
- the frame is formed by a compassionproeuropa and in the region of the transparent or translucent portion, the frame profile is substantially completely formed of the transparent or translucent material.
- the entire cross section of the frame profile should preferably be formed from the transparent or translucent material.
- the frame preferably has at least two, for example three, four, five or six transparent or translucent sections.
- the ball game racket further comprises a heart portion having a bridge and two arms, wherein the transparent or translucent portion w are respectively provided at the transition between bridge and arms.
- the region of the arms or of the frame, on or in which the bridge is mounted can be formed from the transparent or translucent material.
- the storage of the bridge or its storage mechanism is preferably visible through the transparent or translucent sections.
- the racket further comprises a string formed of strings, wherein at least one string, preferably two or three strings, pass through the transparent or translucent portion.
- This variant is provided in particular in combination with the above-mentioned U-shaped through holes for the strings.
- U-shaped through-holes are described, for example, in US Pat. No. 6,638,187 B1.
- a transparent or translucent configuration of the material surrounding these through-holes allows the player to check the quality of these through-holes and facilitates the threading of the strings during stringing.
- a method of making a racquet in particular a racquet as described above.
- first a first roll bares layer material and a second windable Lagenmatkrial is provided.
- the first sheet material comprises carbon fibers and the second sheet material comprises glass fibers.
- the first and second sheet material is wound into a tube.
- a frame formed into a frame profile is formed in a molding press from the hose. This takes place under the action of a pressure and a temperature which are respectively above standard conditions.
- the second layer material defines at least one transparent or translucent section.
- the first and second sheet material for forming the ski cover are arranged partially overlapping.
- at least two, preferably three, layers are preferably arranged one above the other from the first and / or second layer material. If, for example, three layers of the first and second layer material are arranged one above the other, the layer system will have six layers in the transition regions in which the layers of the first and second material overlap. However, if these overlap areas are all overlapping, flaws in the racket frame can occur. Therefore, it is preferable that the overlapping areas between the first and second sheet materials are staggered from each other.
- the second sheet material comprises a transparent resin.
