Description
- The present invention relates to sports racquets and especially to devices for attachment to such racquets for damping the rebound forces produced when the racquet is used.
- Several devices have been suggested for reducing the vibration produced when one device, such as a tennis racquet, strikes another device, such as a tennis ball. For example, U.S. Patent 4,512,576 to Dahlgren discloses a strung racket tension device which comprises two engageable parts. A first part is oblong and U-shaped in cross-section and is attached to one side of the strung surface of the racquet. The second part has a cross-section width that is smaller than the distance between the legs formed by the U-shaped first part. The second part is fitted between the legs of the first part and held in place through the use of a screw. The Dahlgren device is primarily for tensioning the strings of a racquet but also has a vibration damping effect on the racquet.
- U.S. Patent 4,364,564 discloses a shock absorber for reducing the pschiological offects on the arm and shoulder of tennis players which comprises a hollow housing in which is disposed a predetermined amount of liquid of predetermined density and means for securing the liquid filled housing to the player's arm. The liquid is preferably liquid mercury.

- U.S. Patent 2,737,216 to Kenerson discloses a recoi less hammer head construction. The device includes a hollow hammer head filled with a moving mass in the form of lead shot.
- U.S. Patent 3,874,666 to Ross discloses a tennis racquet having a ball retrieval means attached to the strings of the racquet. The ball retrieva l means includes a hooked patch attached to the strings.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a device which not only absorbs shock and vibration from the racket frame and strings and reduces the transmission to the player using a racquet incorporating the device but also to provide improved control of the racquet and a more solid feel when striking a ball.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a shock absorbing device which improves bal l control when used on a tennis racquet by decreasing the normal trampoline effect produced when a ball hits the strings of a racquest. The ball suspeneded in the liquid helps provide this cushioning effect.
- An even further object of the present invention is to provide a shock absorbing device which may be used on tennis racquets to make the racquet feel more solid.
- In accordance with the above and other objects, the present invention is a device for reducing shock in sports racquets or the like when the racquet hits a ball. The device comprises a housing having a hollow interior space. The inter.ior space is filled with a damping fluid containing a weight. The housing also includes an outer groove which is adapted to receive the strings of a racquet in order to hold the housing on the racquet.
- In accordance with other aspects of the invention, the fluid may be a high viscosity fluid such as the oil used in automotive shock absorbers. In addition, the weight may be a steel ball.
- In accordance with further aspects of the invention, the housing may be elongated in one direction and the groove may extend around the entire housing such as to form a rectangular abutment for the strings to rest against and such that the device will not rotate when attached to the strings.
- The present invention also includes the vibration damping device in combination with a sports racquet with the vibration damping device attached to the strings of the racquet. Preferably, the vibration damping device is attached between the two cross strings nearest the throat of the racquet and between the two center main strings of the racquet.
- The above and other objects of the present invention will become more readily apparent as the invention is more fully described in the detailed description set forth below, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals represent like parts throughout, and in which:
- Figure 1 shows the vibration damping device of the present invention attached to the strings of a tennis racquet;
- Figure 2 is a top plan view of the vibration damping device of the present, invention;
- Figure 3 is an end elevation view of the vibration damping device of the present invention;
- Figure 4 is a side elevation view of the vibration damping device of the present invention;
- Figure 5 is a top plan cross sectional view taken along
line 5--5 of Figure 4 showing the shape of the string receiving groove; - Figure 6 is a side elevational view of the vibration damping device taken along line 6--6 of Figure .1; and
- Figure 7 is a side elevational view of a second embodiment of the vibration damping device of the present invention.
- Figure 1 shows the vibration damping device of the present invention attached to a
conventional tennis racquet 12..Theracquet 12 includes ahandle 14, athroat 16, and abow 18. There are strings threaded through the bow in a conventional manner to formcross strings 20 and longitudinalmain strings 22. Thedevice 10 is received between one pair of cross strings and one pair of longitudinal main strings. Thedevice 10 is preferably attached close to the racquet throat and is received between the pair of cross strings closest to the racquet throat and the pair of longitudinal main strings in the center of the racquet. This has been found to be the optimum position for improving the "feel* of the racquet as well as increasing the accuracy of the racquet by increasing the sweet spot and reducing the vibration produced when the racquet hits a ball. - Figures 2 through 7 show a first embodiment of the present invention which includes a
body 24 and acover 26. - The
body 24 includes a squareshaped center portion 28 adjacent an upper portion 3.0 and alower portion 32 which define astring receiving groove 34.Groove 34 extends around the entire periphery of the body so as to enable the body to become entrapped with the racquet strings and be physically turned after it has been entrapped. The size of the body may vary depending on the type of racquet being used. However, typical dimensions would include acenter portion 28 of about .44 in. across each side. The top and bottom portions are elongated in one dimension and would typically be about 1 in. in this dimension, and about .76 in. in the smaller dimension. The smaller dimension of each of the top and bottom portions has a curvedouter periphery 36 with a radius of about .38 in. The groove itself may have a width of about .06 in. while the thickness of the entire device is about .44 in. The primary consideration is that thegroove 34 should be sufficiently deep to completely entrap the racquet strings without the need for clamps or the like. - In the center of the body a
well 40 is formed to receive a dampingfluid 42 and a damping weight in the-form of aball 44. The well may have a depth of about .34 in. with a.diameter of about .25 in. and theball 44 may have a diameter of about .12 in. This allows theball 44 sufficient room to move from end to end in the well without being restricted by the walls of the well. - A
round recess 50 is formed in thebody 24 and is coaxial with the well 40. Therecess 50 has a diameter of about .56 in., is about .06 in. deep and receives around cover 52 which is sligntly less than about .06 in. deep and has a diameter which is slightly less than .56 in. Thecover 52 is glued into therecess 50 to hold the fluid 42 and theball 44 within thewell 40. After thecover 52 is glued in place, the outer surface of thecover 52 should be flush with the outer surface of thebody 24. - The damping fluid may be any conventionally available high viscosity fluid such as the type of oil used in an automotive shock absorber.
- The
ball 44 may be formed of steel., lead or any other relatively dense material. Clearly the size and weight of the ball will vary depending on the racquet size and weight. - The
body 24 and thecover 26 may be formed from any lightweight hard rubber or synthetic resin material. Preferably, thebody 24 should be formed from black neoprene and thecover 26 should be formed from red neoprene. The difference in color is for aesthetic appeal and does not relate to the function of the device. - In use, the
device 10 is installed between the two center main strings and the two cross strings nearest the throat of the racquet and is then rotated 90 degrees to the position shown in Figure 1. In this position, the longest dimension of the device 10.extends parallel to the cross strings and the well 40 extends perpendicular to the plane of the racquet head so that theball 44 can move perpendicular to the plane of the racquet head when the racquet strikes a ball. The dampened movement of theball 44 in.thehigh viscosity fluid 42 counteracts the-force of a tennis ball or the like striking the strings of the racquet and thereby gives the racquet a more solid feel and reduces the vibrations of the racquet caused by this contact. - Various modifications may be made .to the
device 10 itself. For example, as shown in Figure 7, the well 40 may be made to extend completely through thebody 24. In this case, the ends of the well may be enclosed bycovers 26 and 26' which are similar and are received in similar recesses formed in the body. - Clearly, numerous additional modifications and substitutions can be made in the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
