Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device which dampens the vibrations of the strings to which tennis rackets are subjected following an impact from the ball, and causing joint disorders in the elbow of the player.
  • the devices existing to date have one or often several of the following imperfections: ineffectiveness due to their arrangement on the frame or the string of the racket; their difficult implementation; their uncertain locking separating them from the rope during violent and repeated impacts with the ball; their complexity of implementation; their prominence on the line suitable for deflecting the balls from the desired trajectory.
  • French Patent No. 2,585,256 dated 30.01.87 is defined as consisting of a flat, wide and rigid polypropylene having no means allowing its positive lateral immobilization during the vibratory movement of the sieve.
  • This principle has also already been claimed in a US patent. N ° 4.575.083 of 3/7/84 whose easy installation can only be done when stringing the racket and whose constituent material must be able to deform in a plastic way (therefore inelastic).
  • This device is arranged under the intersection of the perpendicular cords.
  • French Patent No. 2,385,417 of October 27, 78 is a damping device of a length specified in its figure 2 equal to the pitch of two consecutive strings of a mesh, at the ends of which is provided a passage allowing it to be accommodated on two strings during the stringing of the racket in an irremovable manner, and to be really effective several of these devices must be mounted on the string or be much more massive and prominent in the manner of French patent N ° 1.398.833 of 31/3 / 64 or another similar French patent N ° 2,587,257 whose membrane for holding the flyweight is relaxed under the pressure of the strings, preventing it from damping any vibration mode. These last two types of device have a tendency to get out of the racket when the vibrations are violent.
  • the present device makes it possible to remedy these drawbacks by acting coherently on all the modes of vibration of the sieve of the racket and shortening the neuro-muscular perception time of the player's hand.
  • the device consists of a flexible elastomer element interweaving in the meshes of the rope following a path thereto without modifying either the geometry or the tension. Its qualities of flexibility and elasticity also allow it to be put in place again, which is carried out by entwining a turn on the strings of the sieve.
  • the device can tie the strings by skipping several stitches or by wrapping around a single strand in order to be able to modulate its potential for absorption in vibrations.
  • the device is provided at its ends with prominences which may be spherical blocking the knot on the rope or intended to be stowed in recesses arranged on the periphery of the frame of the racket.
  • the device is provided in the middle with at least one bulge intended to stiffen and / or increase its local linear mass, optimizing its damping capacities while retracting under an impact accidental bullet.
  • the device consists of an elastomeric material based on silicone or polyurethane or natural rubber offering good tear resistance and with viscoelastic property providing it with good structural damping.
  • the device may be hollow and / or of substantially oval section.
  • a variant with a composite structure consists in juxtaposing at least two materials of different density. For example, the densest is placed in the middle of the element, the section of which can then be continuous and see its linear density increased, the most flexible and least dense material arranged on either side facilitating the execution of the node. The bulge or the central material may extend beyond one of the mesh of the sieve.
  • the section of the longifile element of small section can be composed of at least two strands arranged side by side covering all or part of the length between the protrusions of ends.
  • At least one prominence is maintained outside or inside the element (1) by at least one element of small section.
  • the multiplicity of contacts of the device with the strings stresses in alternating bending, during vibrations, the elongated element which, thanks to its elastic properties, is always kept in contact with the strings.
  • its viscous properties are responsible for stimulating the movement of the strings by converting it into heat which is dissipated by convection with the surrounding air.
