Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tip for the handle of a tennis racket and the like, and racket equipped with this tip, and which is intended to be applied against the free end of this handle or to possibly constitute the closing member if this handle is tubular.
  • the racket grip that is to say the angular position of the handle in the hand of a tennis player or other, is determined by the nature of the stroke that this player is preparing to execute, such that forehand, flat, cut or lifted, flat back, cut or lifted, service and smash.
  • the present invention seeks to remedy this drawback by providing means allowing easy identification of the correct grip of the racket.
  • the end-piece which it relates to is constituted at least by a flat element whose octagonal perimeter corresponds substantially to that of the cross section of the free end of a racket handle and which comprises at least two differentiated triangular sectors. adjacent, whose apex coincides with the longitudinal axis of the handle considered and whose side opposite this vertex is constituted by one of the adjacent sides of its octagonal perimeter, this element being intended to be fixed to the free end of the handle in a determined angular position, the differentiation of the triangular sectors allowing correct angular positioning of the handle relative to a precise point in the player's hand.
  • the endpiece is fixed to the free end of the handle so that the differentiated triangular sectors are arranged in consequence with respect to the median plane of the racket frame, that is to say of its sieve, so that each of them corresponds to the area of the handle which must be covered by the hypothenar eminence of the hand of the player for the execution of a determined move.
  • the flat element can be constituted simply by a self-adhesive film or by a rigid plate fixed, in any suitable manner, to the free end of the handle or even constituting the closing member of the handle when the latter is tubular.
  • each of the triangular sectors of the nozzle has its own color which differentiates it from the others.
  • each triangular sector carried by the flat element of the end piece is extended, on the external face of its ferrule, by a cylindrical sector whose distinctive characteristic , color or whatever, is the same.
  • the handle carries, at its end linked to the frame of the racket, a ring formed by a ferrule conforming to its perimeter by tightening it, it is possible to provide, on the external face of this ring, cylindrical sectors located in the extension of those of the ferrule of the nozzle and bearing the same distinctive signs as them.
  • two sets of triangular and cylindrical sectors are provided on the end piece and, optionally, the ring, the second set being arranged symmetrically to the first with respect to the axis of the handle.
  • the end piece 2 consists of a flat element in the form of a film, sheet or plate, the perimeter of which is adapted to the cross section of the free end of the handle 3 d 'a racket. This perimeter is therefore octagonal.
  • This end piece 2 is intended to be fixed, by any suitable means, against the free end of the handle 3 of the racket, or it may as well constitute the closing member of this handle when the latter is tubular, which is frequently encountered.
  • This nozzle 2 has three differentiated triangular sectors 4, 5 and 6.
  • Each triangular sector has a vertex 7 coinciding with the longitudinal axis 3a of the handle 3, while the side opposite this vertex 7 of each of the triangular sectors 4, 5 and 6 is constituted by one of three adjacent sides 4a, 5a and 6a of the octagonal perimeter of the end piece 2.
  • Each triangular sector 4, 5, 6 is intended to designate the area of the handle 3 which must be covered by the eminence hypothommer of the hand 8 of the player.
  • this eminence hypothommer is identified by arrow 9.
  • the differentiation between the different triangular sectors 4, 5 and 6 can be carried out in any suitable manner and in particular by different coloring. It will therefore be easy for the beginner player to grasp the handle 3 of his racket with the correct angular position, that is to say to adopt a good grip on the racket; it will suffice for this that he knows which zone, corresponding to one of the three triangular sectors 4, 5 and 6, must be covered by his eminence hypothénar 9 for each of the strokes which he and likely to carry out.
  • the tip 2 must be fixed to the free end of the handle 3 of the racket with an angular position predetermined by the prescribed reference point of the player's hand.
  • this reference point is the hypothenar eminence
  • the end piece 2 must be positioned angularly so that the three triangular sectors 4, 5 and 6 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the median plane 11 of the frame 12 racket, which is also the plane of its sieve. This correct positioning is obviously that shown in Figures 2 to 4 of the drawing.
  • This tip 2 can be produced in different ways depending on whether it constitutes an accessory adaptable to a racket, or whether it is associated with it from the manufacture of the handle. Indeed, it can be presented quite simply as a self-adhesive film applied to the free end of the handle 3 of a racket, or even as a rigid plate made of plastic or the like, equipped with means allowing its fixing to the free end. of handle 3 of a racket. It can also, as indicated above, constitute the closing member of a racket handle 3 when the latter is tubular.
  • This tip can also be constituted by a cap, as illustrated in FIG. 5 where it is designated by the reference 2a.
  • the flat element 2 serving as its bottom is bordered by a cylindrical peripheral ferrule 2 ⁇ a whose polygonal cross section corresponds to key of the mandrel 3 of the racket.
  • This ferrule 2'a is dimensioned so as to be able to be engaged on the free end of the handle 3 of the racket by tightening it radially.
  • each triangular sector 4,5 and 6 is extended, on the external face of the shell 2 ⁇ a, by a cylindrical sector bearing the same distinctive sign as itself, respectively 4 ⁇ , 5 ⁇ and 6 ⁇ . This makes it easier for the player to identify the correct racket grip since this arrangement makes the sectors more easily visible.
  • a ring 14 there are provided, on the outer face of this ring, cylindrical sectors 4 ⁇ , 5 ⁇ , 6 ⁇ each of which is arranged in the extension of one of the cylindrical sectors 4 ⁇ to 6 ⁇ of the ferrule 2 ⁇ a end piece 2a.
  • FIG 6 which is a view similar to Figures 2 to 4, shows this racket tip, whether or not equipped with a ferrule 2 ⁇ a, in the case where it carries a fourth triangular sector, and possibly a cylindrical sector , different from the first three and designated by the references, respectively, 13 and 13 ⁇ .
  • These sectors 13, 13 ⁇ correspond to a racket grip making it possible to increase the effect of the lift in forehand, this grip of racket being generally called "western grip".
  • this grip requires a great deal of experience in the practice of tennis and is therefore only reserved for good players.
  • Figure 7 shows an alternative embodiment of the tip of the invention, whether or not this tip comprises a cylindrical shell 2 ⁇ a.
  • the three or four triangular sectors 4 to 6 and 13 and possibly cylindrical 4 ⁇ to 6 ⁇ and 13 ⁇ to 4 ⁇ to 6 ⁇ and 13 ⁇ do not extend over 180 °
  • two sets of triangular sectors are provided and possibly cylindrical arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis 3 ⁇ of the handle 3 of the racket. This arrangement allows the player to rotate his racket 180 ° without losing the benefit of the present triangular or cylindrical sectoral marks facilitating his grip racket.
