Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Ballschlägergriff mit einem Griffband gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a ball racket grip with a grip tape according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Ballschlägergriff ist aus der US-A-3 702 189 bekannt. Dort ist am Griffende an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten je ein von der Griffoberseite senkrecht nach innen verlaufender Schlitz gleicher Schlitzbreite vorgesehen. Die Schlitze münden in eine Erweiterung. Die Schlitze und die Erweiterung sind zur Stirnseite hin offen. Auf das Griffende ist eine Kappe aufsteckbar, deren in das Griffende einzuschiebende Wandung mit den Schlitzen korrespondierende, endseitig offene Schlitze aufweist. In lediglich einem der Schlitze des Griffendes wird ein Griffbandende eingeschoben und anschließend die Kappe aufgeschoben und so das Griffband am hinteren Griffende befestigt. Dann wird das Griffband in an sich bekannter Weise aufgewickelt und befestigt. Das im Schlitz befindliche Bandende ist zwar im aufgewickelten Zustand gegen ein Lösen gehaltert, jedoch kann es vor dem Aufwickeln, also nach dem Einschieben in den Schlitz und nach dem Aufsetzen der Kappe noch aus dem Schlitz herausgezogen werden.Such a ball racket handle is known from US-A-3 702 189. There, a slot of the same slot width running vertically inwards from the top of the handle is provided on two opposite sides of the handle end. The slots open into an extension. The slots and the extension are open towards the front. A cap can be plugged onto the end of the handle, the wall of which has to be inserted into the end of the handle has slots corresponding to the slots and open at the ends. A grip end is inserted into only one of the slots in the grip end and then the cap is pushed on, thus securing the grip grip to the rear grip end. Then the grip tape is wound up and fastened in a manner known per se. The tape end located in the slot is held in the wound-up state against loosening, but it can be pulled out of the slot before winding up, ie after insertion into the slot and after the cap has been put on.

Eine ähnliche Befestigung des Griffbandendes wird gemäß GB-A-1 021 278 vorgenommen. Dort besteht der Griff aus zwei Halbschalen. In den beim Zusammensetzen gebildeten Trennschlitz wird am Griffende das Bandende hindurchgeführt, nachdem es vorher wenigstens mit einer halben Windung um den Griffschaft gewickelt wurde. Hier werden also die beiden Griffschalen durch das Griffband zusammengehalten und auf dem Griffschaft befestigt. Bei einem Ersatz des Griffbandes zerfällt daher der ganze Griff in seine Einzelteile. Eine schnelle und korrekte Auswechslung des Griffbandes ist damit nicht möglich.A similar fastening of the end of the grip tape is carried out in accordance with GB-A-1 021 278. There the handle consists of two half-shells. In the separating slot formed during assembly, the end of the tape is passed through at the end of the handle after it has previously been wound around the handle shaft with at least half a turn. So here the two handle scales are held together by the grip tape and attached to the handle shaft. When replacing the grip tape, the entire handle breaks down into its individual parts. A quick and correct replacement of the grip tape is therefore not possible.

Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung soll die Aufgabe gelöst werden, einen Ballschlägergriff der genannten Art derart auszubilden, daß das Griffband unter Vermeidung einer Beschädigung des Griffes einfach, schnell und preiswert montierbar ist.The object of the present invention is to provide a ball racket handle of the type mentioned in such a way that the grip tape can be assembled simply, quickly and inexpensively while avoiding damage to the handle.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Mit der Erfindung ist es ohne großen konstruktiven Aufwand am Griff bzw. am Griffband möglich, das Ende des Griffbandes durch einfaches Einhängen in das im Schlitz befindliche Halteelement im Griffende zu befestigen und dann auf dem Griff aufzuwickeln.With the invention it is possible without great design effort on the handle or on the grip tape to fasten the end of the grip tape by simply hooking it into the holding element located in the slot in the handle end and then winding it onto the handle.

Das Griffband muß also am Ende lediglich mit einer Öffnung oder einer Schlaufe versehen werden. Der mit der Öffnung oder der Schlaufe versehene Teil des Griffbandes ist in die Erweiterung des Schlitzes am Griffende einzustecken, in das Halteelement, beispielsweise einen Haken oder einen Zapfen einzuhängen, um so mit dem Griff verbunden zu sein. Das Griffende wird folglich nicht mehr durch Stifte beschädigt oder gar zerstört.In the end, the grip tape only has to be provided with an opening or a loop. The part of the grip tape provided with the opening or the loop is to be inserted into the extension of the slot at the end of the grip, to be hooked into the holding element, for example a hook or a pin, in order to be connected to the grip. As a result, the end of the handle is no longer damaged or even destroyed by pins.

Mit 1 ist in Fig. 1 ein Griffende beispielsweise eines Tennisschlägergriffes bezeichnet. In der oberen Griffseite 2 ist ein senkrechter Schlitz 3 angebracht, der innen eine zylindrische Erweiterung 4 besitzt und zur Stirnseite 5 hin offen ist. In diese aus Schlitz 3 und Erweiterung 4 gebildete Öffnung ist von der Stirnseite 5 her das Ende eines Griffbandes 6 einsteckbar und in ein beispielsweise als Stift ausgebildetes Halteelement 12 einhängbar. Zu diesem Zweck besitzt das Ende des Griffbandes 6 eine Öffnung 16, in dem es durch Umschlagen, ggf. noch zusätzlich verklebt und/oder vernäht, mit einer Schaufe 13 versehen ist. Das Griffband 6 kann in beiden Richtungen auf den Griff 8 aufgewickelt werden. Mit 10 ist das innenliegende Ende des Schlitzes 3 am Übergang zur Schlitzerweiterung 4 bezeichnet.1 in FIG. 1 denotes a handle end, for example of a tennis racket handle. In the upper handle side 2 there is a vertical slot 3 which has a cylindrical extension 4 on the inside and is open towards the front side 5. In this opening formed by slot 3 and extension 4, the end of a grip 6 can be inserted from the front side 5 and can be hooked into a holding element 12, for example a pin. For this purpose, the end of the grip tape 6 has an opening 16, in which it is provided with a flap 13 by turning it over, possibly additionally glued and / or sewn. The grip tape 6 can be wound onto the handle 8 in both directions. With 10 the inner end of the slot 3 at the transition to the slot extension 4 is designated.

Eine andere Möglichkeit der Ausbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Ballschlägergriffes zeigt die Fig. 2.Another possibility of designing the ball racket handle according to the invention is shown in FIG. 2.

Hier ist der Schlitz 3 mit einer inneren keilförmigen Erweiterung 9 versehen, in die die zum Beispiel durch Umschlagen des Griffbandendes erhaltene Verdickung 7 eingesteckt wird. Zur zusätzlichen besseren Halterung ist hier der Schlitz 3 von links oben nach rechts unten schräg verlaufend angeordnet, so daß sich bei einem Wickelsinn gemäß dem Pfeil 11 durch zusätzliche Reibkräfte eine noch bessere Halterung des Griffbandendes ergibt. Anstelle der Erweiterung 9 anschließend an den Schlitz 3 kann auch der Schlitz 3 selbst nach innen keilförmig erweitert sein, so daß er eine Art Keilnut bildet.Here, the slot 3 is provided with an inner wedge-shaped extension 9, into which the thickening 7 obtained, for example, by turning the end of the grip tape is inserted. For additional better mounting here the slot 3 is arranged obliquely from the top left to the bottom right, so that with a winding direction according to the arrow 11 results in an even better mounting of the handle end by additional frictional forces. Instead of the extension 9 adjoining the slot 3, the slot 3 itself can also be widened inwards so that it forms a type of keyway.

Die Schlitzbreite entspricht etwa der Breite eines Griffbandes 6, d. h. sie ist mindestens so breit wie dieses und die Schlitzweite entspricht mindestens der Dicke eines Griffbandes 6.The slot width corresponds approximately to the width of a grip tape 6, i. H. it is at least as wide as this and the slot width corresponds at least to the thickness of a grip tape 6.

Auch hierbei ist in der Erweiterung 9 ein als Stift ausgebildetes Halteelement 12 vorgesehen. Das Griffband 6 besitzt dann am Ende wieder eine Schlaufe 13, die zum Beispiel durch entsprechendes Umschlagen des Bandendes und Ankleben und/oder Annähen gebildet ist. Hierdurch kann das Griffband 6 in einfacher Weise in den Stift 12 eingehängt und zum Anwickeln gehalten werden. Der Schlitz 3, die Erweiterung 9 und der Stift 12 oder ein Zapfen bilden dabei eine Art Schlüsselloch.Here, too, a holding element 12 designed as a pin is provided in the extension 9. The grip tape 6 then again has a loop 13 at the end, which is formed, for example, by appropriately turning the end of the tape and gluing and / or sewing on. As a result, the grip tape 6 can be easily hung in the pin 12 and held for winding. The slot 3, the extension 9 and the pin 12 or a pin form a kind of keyhole.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Befestigung des Bandendes zeigt die Fig. 3. Dort ist an einer seitlichen Innenwand 14 des Schlitzes 3 ein als Haken 15 ausgebildetes Halteelement angebracht, beispielsweise bei der Herstellung des Griffes 1 aus Kunststoff mit angeformt. Das Griffband 6 besitzt hierbei eine entsprechende Öffnung 16, beispielsweise einen Schlitz, ein Loch, ein Langloch oder dgl., um formschlüssig mit dem Haken 15 verbunden werden zu können.Another advantageous fastening of the band end is shown in FIG. 3. There, a holding element designed as a hook 15 is attached to a lateral inner wall 14 of the slot 3, for example, when the handle 1 is made of plastic, also integrally formed thereon. The grip tape 6 has a corresponding opening 16, for example a slot, a hole, an elongated hole or the like, in order to be able to be positively connected to the hook 15.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Befestigung des Griffbandes 6 kann dadurch erfolgen, daß an einer Innenwand 14 des Schlitzes 3 ein Klemmwinkel 17 vorgesehen und derart um eine Achse 18 schwenkbar angeordnet ist, daß der eine innere Winkelschenkel 19 in den Schlitz 3 ragt und seine innere Winkelkante 23.1 wenigstens annähernd bündig mit der Innenwand 14 ist, wenn der andere äußere Winkelschenkel 20 entlang der Griffseite 2 verläuft und zum Ende zu die äußere Winkelkante 23.2 schräg aus der Griffseite 2 herausragt. Dies ist die in Fig. 4 dargestellte Lage, in der ein Ende des Griffbandes 6 in den Schlitz 3 eingeschoben werden kann. Nach dem Einsetzen des Griffbandes 6 in den Schlitz 3 wird dieses durch Druck auf den äußeren Winkelschenkel 20 in Richtung des Pfeiles 21 dadurch befestigt, daß der innere Winkelschenkel 19 zur gegenüberliegenden Innenwand 22 des Schlitzes 3 geschwenkt wird. Dieser Druck wird beim Anwickeln des Griffbandes 6 vorzugsweise vom Griffband 6 selbst erzeugt. Zweckmäßig ist der Klemmwinkel 17 so angebracht, daß seine Winkelkante 23.2 wenigstens nahezu bündig mit der Griffseite 2 liegt, wenn das Griffband 6 aufgewickelt ist und der Winkelschenkel 19 in den Schlitz 3 ragt.A further advantageous fastening of the grip tape 6 can take place in that a clamping angle 17 is provided on an inner wall 14 of the slot 3 and is pivotably arranged about an axis 18 such that the one inner angle leg 19 projects into the slot 3 and its inner angle edge 23.1 at least is approximately flush with the inner wall 14 when the other outer angle leg 20 runs along the handle side 2 and at the end the outer angle edge 23.2 protrudes obliquely from the handle side 2. This is the position shown in FIG. 4, in which one end of the grip tape 6 can be inserted into the slot 3. After inserting the grip tape 6 into the slot 3, this is fastened by pressing the outer angle leg 20 in the direction of the arrow 21 in that the inner angle leg 19 is pivoted to the opposite inner wall 22 of the slot 3. This pressure is preferably generated by the grip strip 6 itself when the grip strip 6 is wound on. The clamping angle 17 is expediently attached in such a way that its angular edge 23.2 lies at least almost flush with the handle side 2 when the grip tape 6 is wound up and the angle leg 19 projects into the slot 3.

Damit das Griffband 6 leicht und genau auf den Griff 2 aufgewickelt werden kann, ist dieses gemäß Fig. 5 auf der Sichtseite mit einer Längsprägung 24 und/oder einem Längsaufdruck 25 (dunklere Abschnitte, z. B. dunklere Lähgsaufdrucke 25, in Fig. 5 rechts von der Querschnittsdarstellung) versehen. Diese Prägungen oder Aufdrucke können kontinuierlich oder punkt- oder abschnittsweise vorgesehen sein und können z. B. auch bei der maschinellen Bewicklung des Griffes als Leitlinie, beispielsweise zur optoelektronischen Abtastung und Maschinensteuerung, dienen. Die Längsprägung 24 und/oder der Längsaufdruck 25 verläuft dabei unmittelbar an der oberen Anfaskante 26 parallel zu dieser bzw. zu den Längskanten 27 des Bandes 6 oder links oder rechts von der Anfaskante 26 und wird beim Aufwickeln ganz, teilweise oder gar nicht von dem überlappenden angefasten Teil des nächsten Wicklungsschlages überdeckt (Fig. 5, links unten).5 so that the grip tape 6 can be wound easily and precisely onto the handle 2, this is shown on the visible side with a longitudinal embossing 24 and / or a longitudinal print 25 (darker sections, e.g. darker longitudinal prints 25, in FIG. 5) to the right of the cross-sectional view). These embossings or overprints can be provided continuously or point by point or in sections and can, for. B. also serve as a guideline for machine winding of the handle, for example for optoelectronic scanning and machine control. The longitudinal embossing 24 and / or the longitudinal imprint 25 runs directly on the upper chamfering edge 26 parallel to this or to the longitudinal edges 27 of the band 6 or to the left or right of the chamfering edge 26 and is completely, partially or not at all overlapped during winding chamfered part of the next winding stroke covered (Fig. 5, bottom left).

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Griff 1 an seiner Oberfläche mit Nadelspitzen 28 und/oder mit einer von Rauhspitzen 29 gebildeten Aufrauhung versehen. Die Nadelspitzen 28 besitzen eine Höhe von 0,1 bis 0,7 mm, vorzugsweise 0,1 bis 0,5 mm und die Rauhspitzen 29 eine Höhe von 0,05 bis 0,3 mm. Sie drücken sich beim Aufwickeln des Griffbandes 6 in dessen Unterseite ein und verhindern damit ein Verrutschen desselben.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the handle 1 is provided on its surface with needle tips 28 and / or with a roughening formed by rough tips 29. The needle tips 28 have a height of 0.1 to 0.7 mm, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 mm and the rough tips 29 a height of 0.05 to 0.3 mm. They are pressed into the underside of the grip tape 6 when it is being wound up, thus preventing the same from slipping.

Die Nadelspitzen 28 sind zumindest als eine umlaufende Linie am hinteren Griffende (Fig. 1) vorgesehen, um eine gute Haftung des Griffbandes 6 am Wicklungsanfang zu gewährleisten. Ebenso können dort Rauhspitzen 29 in Form einer bandförmig umlaufenden Aufrauhung dieses Griffteils vorhanden sein (Fig. 2). Vorteilhaft ist auch die Anordnung derselben in ähnlicher Weise am vorderen Griffende 101, damit das Wickelende des Griffbandes 6 ebenfalls gut mit dem Griff 1 verankert ist. Dabei ist das Griffbandende 30 gemäß Fig. 6 zweckmäßig keilförmig angeschnitten und es läuft spitzwinklig aus. Zusätzlich kann es mit einem Klebeband oder einem Gummiband 31 am Griff 1 festgelegt sein. Dadurch braucht das Griffband 6 nicht mehr mit dem Griff 1 selbst verklebt zu werden, so daß es jederzeit leicht erneuert werden kann.The needle tips 28 are provided at least as a circumferential line at the rear end of the handle (FIG. 1) in order to ensure good grip of the grip tape 6 at the start of the winding. There can also be rough tips 29 in the form of a band-shaped roughening of this grip part (FIG. 2). The arrangement of the same at the front handle end 101 is also advantageous, so that the winding end of the grip tape 6 is also well anchored to the handle 1. Here, the end of the grip tape 30 is appropriately cut in a wedge shape according to FIG. 6 and it ends at an acute angle. In addition, it can be fixed to the handle 1 with an adhesive tape or a rubber band 31. As a result, the grip tape 6 no longer needs to be glued to the handle 1 itself, so that it can easily be replaced at any time.
