Abstract

1. A flexible stringer strip (1) of hard elastic material for a racket having stretched strings, in particular a tennis racket, the strip having string-protecting sleeves (2) arranged at a definite distance (9) apart and made in one piece with the stringer strip (1), characterized in that the stringer strip (1) in each portion of the stringer strip between two string-protecting sleeves (2) exhibits at least one expansion portion (3) such that under tensile loading of the stringer strip (1) in the direction of its longitudinal extent only or essentially only the said expansion portion (3) is able to expand.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein flexibles Hülsenband gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a flexible sleeve band according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei bekannten Hülsenbändern für Tennisschläger bereitet es durch die vorgegebenen Abstände der Schutzhülsen in den vorgefertigten Hülsenbändern und wegen der nicht genauen Übereinstimmung derselben mit den im Rahmen des Tennisschlägers vorhandenen Bohrungen zum Durchziehen der Saiten oft erhebliche Schwierigkeiten, die Schutzhülsen in die Bohrungen einzusetzen. Dieses Problem ist u.a. dadurch bedingt, daß, gegebenenfalls mit Ausnahme der Bohrungen im Herz des Schlägers, die Bohrungen längs des Rahmens unterschiedliche Winkel zu einer gemeinsamen Bezugsachse aufweisen, da an der Stelle der Bohrungen die Richtung derselben senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht zu der sich zu denkenden Tangente am Rahmen verläuft.In known sleeve tapes for tennis racquets, the predetermined spacing of the protective sleeves in the prefabricated sleeve tapes and because of the inaccurate matching thereof with the holes in the frame of the tennis racket for pulling the strings often cause considerable difficulties in inserting the protective sleeves into the holes. This problem is among others due to the fact that, possibly with the exception of the bores in the heart of the racket, the bores along the frame have different angles to a common reference axis, since the direction of the bores at the location of the bores is perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the tangent to the frame to be thought .

Zwar ist aus der US-PS 39 30 648 ein Hülsenband gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 bekannt geworden, jedoch ist dieses Hülsenband zwischen den Hülsen mit relativ dicken Auflagepolstern für die Auflage der beim Durchziehen der Saiten gebildeten Halteschlaufen versehen. Dieses Hülsenband muß jedoch an die Bohrungsanordnung der Schlägerausführung angepaßt werden, indem die Abstände zwischen benachbarten Hülsen zum Herz und auch zum Schlägerkopf hin unterschiedlich größer werden als im übrigen Randbogenbereich. Ein solches Hülsenband kann daher nicht für Schläger mit anderen Lochabständen verwendet werden. Außerdem ist auch hierbei die Montage wegen der obengenannten unterschiedlichen Winkellagen und der unvermeidlichen Toleranzen der Bohrungen relativ schwierig.Although a sleeve tape according to the preamble of claim 1 has become known from US-PS 39 30 648, this sleeve tape is provided between the sleeves with relatively thick support pads for the support of the straps formed when pulling the strings. However, this sleeve band must be adapted to the bore arrangement of the racket design, in that the distances between adjacent sleeves to the heart and also to the racket head become differently greater than in the rest of the edge bow area. Such a sleeve band can therefore not be used for clubs with other hole spacings. In addition, the assembly is relatively difficult because of the different angular positions mentioned above and the inevitable tolerances of the holes.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Hülsenband der vorgenannten Art bzw. einen Weg vorzuschlagen, mit einfachen Mitteln diese Schwierigkeiten zu umgehen, so daß ohne zusätzlichen Energie- und Zeitaufwand das Hülsenband mit den Schutzhülsen am Schläger leichter montiert werden kann und Fertigungstoleranzen ohne weiteres ausgeglichen werden können.It is therefore an object of the invention to propose a sleeve tape of the aforementioned type or a way to circumvent these difficulties with simple means, so that the sleeve tape with the protective sleeves on the racket can be more easily assembled without additional energy and time and manufacturing tolerances easily compensated can be.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß kann also der Abstand zweier Schutzhülsen ohne Schwierigkeiten an die vorgegebenen Abstände der Bohrungen in dem Schlägerrahmen ohne zusätzlichen Kraft- und Zeitaufwand angepaßt werden. Die Dehnungswellen können dabei parallel oder senkrecht zu der Hülsenbandebene verlaufen. Zweckmäßiger ist jedoch die parallele Anordnung, da dann das Band auf dem Rahmen und die Saiten auf dem Band glatt aufeinanderliegen.According to the invention, the distance between two protective sleeves can therefore be adapted without difficulty to the predetermined spacing of the holes in the racket frame without additional effort and time. The expansion waves can run parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the sleeve band. However, the parallel arrangement is more expedient since the tape on the frame and the strings on the tape then lie smoothly on one another.

Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben und werden nachfolgend anhand der in der Zeichnung veranschaulichten Ausführungsbeispiele beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:

  • Figur 1 ein Hülsenband mit in der Ebene des Bandes verlaufenden Dehnungswellen,
  • Figur 2 ein Hülsenband mit senkrecht zur Ebene des Bandes verlaufenden Dehnungswellen von der Seite und
  • Figur 3 das Band gemäß Figur 2 von oben in der Draufsicht.
Appropriate embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims and are described below with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing. Show:
  • 1 shows a sleeve band with expansion waves running in the plane of the band,
  • Figure 2 is a sleeve band with perpendicular to the plane of the band expansion waves from the side and
  • Figure 3 shows the tape of Figure 2 from above in plan view.

Mit 1 ist ein Hülsenband für einen Tennisschläger oder für andere mit einer Saitenbespannung versehene Ballsohläger bezeichnet, dessen Schutzhülsen 2 in bestimmte.m, vorgegebenem Abstand voneinander senkrecht zur Bandebene vorgesehen sind.1 with a sleeve band for a tennis racket or for other ball strings provided with string covering is designated, the protective sleeves 2 of which are provided at certain, predetermined distances from one another perpendicular to the band plane.

Im Hülsenband 1 aus vorzugsweise hartelastischem Material sind jeweils zwischen zwei Schutzhülsen 2 zum Längenausgleich Dehnungsabschnitte 3 in Form von Dehnungswellen 4 vorgesehen. Diese verlaufen gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 von den Schmalkanten 5, 6 aus gesehen in der Ebene des Hülsenbandes 1. Gebildet sind diese entsprechend der linken Darstellung durch wenigstens zwei, im Ausführungsbeispiel durch drei, wechselweise seitlich von den Schmalkanten 5 oder 6 aus zur gegenüberliegenden Schmalkante 6 bzw. 5 verlaufende senkrechte oder geneigte Schlitze 7 und 8. Dadurch wird zwischen den Schutzhülsen 2 im Dehnungsabschnitt 3 eine Dehnungswelle 4 erzeugt, wodurch der Abstand 9 zwischen zwei Schutzhülsen 2 leicht variiert und den Abständen der Bohrungen für die Saitendurchführungen im Rahmen eines Schlägers ohne großen Aufwand angepaßt werden kann. Die Länge der Dehnungswellen 4 kann - in Fig. 1 bezogen auf die Mittellinie M - eine halbe Wellenlänge bis zu mehreren Wellenlängen λ betragen. Eine Wellenlängeλ beträgt vorzugsweise zwischen 1,5 und 10 mm, insbesondere zwischen 2,5 und 4 mm. Die Nachgiebigkeit der Dehnungswellen 4 kann durch Bemessung der stehenbleibenden, quer zum Hülsenband 1 verlaufenden Stege 10 und/oder der Randbögen 11 bestimmt bzw. eingestellt werden.In the sleeve band 1, which is preferably made of hard-elastic material, expansion sections 3 in the form of expansion shafts 4 are provided between two protective sleeves 2 for length compensation. 1 and 2 from the narrow edges 5, 6 as seen in the plane of the sleeve band 1. These are formed according to the left representation by at least two, in the exemplary embodiment by three, alternately laterally from the narrow edges 5 or 6 to the opposite Narrow edge 6 or 5 extending vertical or inclined slots 7 and 8. This creates an expansion shaft 4 between the protective sleeves 2 in the expansion section 3, whereby the distance 9 between two protective sleeves 2 varies slightly and the distances of the Bores for the strings in a racket can be adapted without much effort. The length of the expansion waves 4 can - in FIG. 1 with respect to the center line M - be half a wavelength up to several wavelengths λ. A wavelength λ is preferably between 1.5 and 10 mm, in particular between 2.5 and 4 mm. The flexibility of the expansion shafts 4 can be determined or set by dimensioning the webs 10 and / or the edge arches 11 which remain and run transversely to the sleeve band 1.

In der mittleren Ausführungsform (Fig. 1) sind V-förmige Einschnitte 12 vorgesehen, um die Dehnungswellen 4 zu bilden, bei der rechten Ausführungsart (Fig. 1) ist der mittlere Einschnitt als V-Einschnitt 12 und sind die äußeren Einschnitte 13 als halb-V-förmige Einschnitte 13 ausgebildet. Hierdurch treten keine Unebenheiten in der Bandebene auf. Eine andere Ausführungsmöglichkeit ist anhand der Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigt. Hier verlaufen die Dehnungswellen 4 senkrecht zur Ebene des Hülsenbandes 1, wie besonders anschaulich in Figur 2 ersichtlich. Dabei kann zugleich eine Materialschwächung vorgenommen sein, wie die linke und die mittlere Ausführungsform zeigen. Dies gestattet, daß die Wellengipfel die Bandoberflächen 14 und 15 nicht unbedingt überragen müssen.In the middle embodiment (Fig. 1) V-shaped cuts 12 are provided to form the expansion shafts 4, in the right embodiment (Fig. 1) the middle cut is as V-cut 12 and the outer cuts 13 are half -V-shaped incisions 13 formed. As a result, there are no unevenness in the belt level. Another possible embodiment is shown with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. Here, the expansion shafts 4 run perpendicular to the plane of the sleeve band 1, as can be seen particularly clearly in FIG. 2. At the same time, a weakening of the material can be carried out, as the left and middle embodiments show. This allows that the wave peaks do not necessarily have to protrude beyond the band surfaces 14 and 15.
