Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices intended to dampen the vibrations induced in tennis rackets at the time of the impact of the ball on the sieve.
  • shock absorbers are by no means “universal”, given the immense diversity of snowshoes and their conditions of use.
  • the invention aims to overcome this drawback with a device comprising means for "adjusting" its effects at the discretion of the user.
  • a vibration damping device in a racket of the type constituted by a pair of discs made of elastomeric material between which are pinched at least two parallel strings of the sieve is characterized in that it comprises, on the exterior of each disc, at least one additional removable element, the shape and dimensions of which can be chosen as desired to adapt to the vibration system specific to the racket in question.
  • the device can comprise on each side of the sieve a stack of several additional discs spaced from each other and playing the role of "antennas", ensuring the suffocation of the high frequency components of the vibratory system.
  • the series of additional discs are distributed over extensions of the main pair of discs, in planes parallel to each other but perpendicular to the plane of the main pair, that is to say perpendicular to the plane of the screen.
  • these extensions may take the form of ribbons passing alternately over and under the successive parallel strings.
  • It consists of a central body 1, shown here in square section, and having substantially the dimensions of a mesh of the racket sieve, formed by the two pairs of strings C 1 ′ - C′1 and C 2 - C′2, in width and in thickness.
  • a second pair of discs 4 and 5 identical to each other, but of smaller diameter than the discs 2 and 3 is also molded in one piece with the body 1. These auxiliary discs are intended to dampen the high frequency vibrations racket.
  • each of the external discs 4 and 5 is inserted a stud 6 (and 7) integral with a disc 8 (and 9), the diameter and thickness of which can be selected by the player depending on the racket used.
  • a stud 6 integral with a disc 8 (and 9)
  • This interchangeable nature of elements 6-7 and 8-9 therefore makes it possible to modify the resonance characteristics of the device, and consequently the effects produced on the vibrations of the racket.
  • discs 10,11 ... and 10 ′, 11 ′ ... carried on each side of the device by appendages 20,20 ′ ... starting from the center 1 of the device and passing alternately above and below the successive parallel strings of the sieve.
  • These complementary discs 10,11 ..., 10 ′, 11 ′ ... are each in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the sieve, and they play a role comparable to the discs 8 and 9 of the previous embodiment.
  • the device according to the invention therefore has the double advantage over all known systems: - to stifle the high frequency vibrations, thanks to the external discs, which are not in contact with the strings, and which play the role of "antennas".
  • These external discs are not absolutely essential, and their shapes and dimensions are not necessarily those shown by way of example in the drawing. However, their usefulness is indisputable.
  • These elements can be adapted to the body of the device by means different from the pins 6 and 7, provided that these means allow the positioning and removal of these elements.
  • the shape and dimensions of these elements will be studied according to the experimental results specific to each racket, and even according to the user's playing style.
  • the essential characteristic of the invention is to allow such adaptation which is not possible with any existing device.
