Abstract

The tennis racquet (1) has a handle (2) or neck which is bent at one or more places. The hand grip (3) on the end of the neck is angled in relation to the transverse axis of the head. The wrist of the player's hand gripping the racquet handle is thereby barely angled to one side. The ergonomic configuration of the handle is improved. USE/ADVANTAGE - The bent shape of the racquet for squash, badminton, or stick for hockey, ice hockey and golf prevents injury to the player's arm.

Description

1. Tennisschläger mit ein- oder mehrfach gekrümmtem Schlägerhals/ Schlägergriff.1. Tennis racket with a single or multiple curved racket neck / Racket grip.

2. Beschreibung:2. Description:

2.1. Der Hals-/Griffteil herkömmlicher Tennisschläger ist durchwegs gerade. Durch diese gradlinige Anordnung kommt es bei fast allen Tennisschlägen (Vorhand, Rückhand, beidhändige Rückhand, Aufschlag, Schmetterschlag) zu einer starken seitlichen Abwinkelung im Handge­ lenk des Schlagarmes.2.1. The neck / handle part of conventional tennis rackets is consistently straight. This straightforward arrangement makes it happen to almost everyone Tennis shots (forehand, backhand, ambidextrous, serve, Blows) to a strong lateral angling in the hand steering the striking arm.

Nach Auffassung vieler kompetenter Sportmediziner ist dies die Ur­ sache für das häufige Auftreten von Sehnenscheidenentzündungen im Unterarmbereich (sog. "Tennisarm") und von weitergehenden Schäden und Entzündungen im Ellbogenbereich.According to many competent sports doctors, this is the original thing for the frequent occurrence of tendonitis in the Forearm area (so-called "tennis elbow") and of further damage and inflammation in the elbow area.

2.2. Durch eine anatomisch sinnvolle Umgestaltung der Form des Schläger­ halses bzw. Schlägergriffs - gekennzeichnet durch eine oder mehrere Krümmungen in diesem Bereich statt gerader Form - werden das seit­ liche Abknicken des Handgelenkes und damit die negativen Folgen für den Schlagarm weitgehend verhindert.2.2. Through an anatomically sensible redesign of the shape of the racket neck or club handle - characterized by one or more Curvatures in this area instead of straight form - have been since bend the wrist and thus the negative consequences for largely prevented the blow arm.

2.3. Ausgiebige Versuche und Beobachtungen haben ergeben, daß Anfänger keinerlei Schwierigkeiten mit der neuen Schlägerform haben; geübten Tennisspielern gelingt die Umstellung relativ schnell.2.3. Extensive experiments and observations have shown that beginners have no problems with the new club shape; practiced Tennis players make the switch relatively quickly.

2.4. Fig. 2 zeigt nur eine von mehreren denkbaren Formänderungen; Sta­ bilitätsüberlegungen und weitere Tests können durchaus zu anderen Krümmungen und Winkelformen führen. Entscheidend ist, daß durch die gekrümmte Form des Schlägerhalses/-griffes das Handgelenk bei der Schlagausführung wenig oder gar nicht seitlich ("ulnar") abknickt. 2.4. Fig. 2 shows only one of several conceivable shape changes; Stability considerations and further tests can certainly lead to other curvatures and angular shapes. It is crucial that the curved shape of the racket neck / handle causes the wrist to bend little or not sideways ("ulnar") when striking.

2.5. Dieses Prinzip gilt im übrigen auch für andere, mit Schlägern betriebene Sportarten wie Squash, Badminton, Hockey, Eishockey und Golf.2.5. This principle also applies to others with clubs practiced sports such as squash, badminton, hockey, ice hockey and Golf.

2.6. Zeichnerisch lädt sich die reale Handgelenksstellung bei den ver­ schiedenen Schlagarten schlecht darstellen; auch Video-Standbilder von Spitzenspielern sind nicht aufschlußreich, weil zu klein. Wir haben deshalb Fotos beigefügt, die dies deutlich erkennen lassen.2.6. The real wrist position of the ver badly represent different types of strokes; also video still images of top players are not revealing because they are too small. We have therefore attached photos that clearly show this.
