  • the screw rod crosses with clearance a corresponding hole 100 of the racket 2.
  • the racket 2 has a concentric upper central rib 27 bordering the upper orifice of the racket hole 100, and a concentric lower central rib 127 bordering the lower orifice of the racket hole 100.
  • the wedge body 10 comprises a lower barrel 22, cylindrical with circular section, centered on the intermediate axis 11, and of a length adapted to pass through the racket hole 100 and to come flush with the lower central rib 127.
  • the barrel 22 is separated from the intermediate rib 23 by a circular groove 25.
  • the head of the screw 29 bears against the edge of the lower barrel 22, and is in sliding support on the edge of the lower central rib 127, possibly with interposition of a washer.
  • the head of the screw 29 thus retains the screw under the underside of the racket 2.
  • At least one of the concentric grooves for example the groove 26 of the wedge 1, comprises at least one boss such as the boss 30, cooperating with notches such as the notch 31 of the corresponding rib 28, to ensure braking in rotation of the wedge 1 in its functional directions of locking, unlocking and stalling.
  • four notches 31 are arranged in a cross and oriented obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis and to the transverse axis of the racket body, for example at 45 °.
  • the bosses 30 of the wedge body 10 are four in number, and according to the same orientations at 45 °.
  • the rotation of the shim 1 away from the functional orientations is authorized by the elastic deformation of the upper face 13 of the racket, in the posterior range 9, deformation which allows the bosses 30 to exit the corresponding notches such as the notch 31 during forced rotation of the hold 1.

  • the wedge 1 can be pivoted about its axis 11 between several functional orientations.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate a first functional locking orientation, in which the first peripheral wedge zone 14 is oriented towards the fixing plate 3. In this position, the rear end 32 of the fixing plate 3 is engaged and retained under the lower shoulder 16 of the first peripheral zone 14 of the wedge, for its locking, preventing the lifting of the fixing plate 3.
  • Figures 13 and 14 illustrate a second functional orientation of the wedge 1, or release or unlocking orientation.
  • the wedge 1 is pivoted with its second peripheral zone 18 oriented towards the fixing plate 3.
  • the second peripheral zone 18 is set back, the rear end 32 of the fixing plate 3 can be raised freely. This allows the free pivoting of the fixing plate 3 around its transverse axis 4.

  • the rear end 32 of the fixing plate 3 is above the wedge 1, and can pivot around its transverse axis 4 until it comes to bear on the upper face 20 of the first peripheral zone 14 .
  • Figures 17 and 18 illustrate another functional orientation of the shim 1, or second functional setting orientation.
  • the wedge 1 is pivoted with its radially prominent peripheral zone 19 oriented towards the fixing plate 3, the fixing plate 3 being previously raised above the wedge 1.
  • the rear end 32 of the plaque of attachment 3 can be lifted freely and allow the plate 3 to pivot about its transverse axis 4, until it comes to bear on the upper face 21 of the radially prominent peripheral zone 19.
  • wedge 1 ensures both great ease of maneuvering of the wedge 1 by simple rotation, the wedge being always accessible for maneuvering by hand. Also, the particular shape of the wedge body 10 ensures effective maintenance of the wedge 1 on the racket or the ski, and allows good recovery of the mechanical forces undergone by the wedge during use.
