Definitions
- Wooden racquet of new generation Wooden racquet of new generation.
- the invention relates to the field of sports rackets or various games of balls.
- the term "tennis rackets” will be referred to for convenience as a main but not limiting illustration of the invention.
- the invention can also be applied to other types of rackets, for example squash rackets or any other racket provided with a sieve delimited by a rigid frame.
- Tennis rackets have undergone many technical changes over time. The first generations of snowshoes are made of wood and naturally derive from the ancestor of tennis, aka behind de paume. In the 1930s, new wood glues made it possible to make glue-laminated snowshoes with several types of wood (ash, walnut, beech, maple). They withstand higher tensions and allow for a better balance between power and control of the ball.
- the object of the present invention is to propose a new racket mainly made of wood which uses a large part of natural and renewable materials, while offering performances comparable to those of rackets made of synthetic materials which today occupy all or almost all of the market.
- the subject of the invention is a racket for a game of balls, in particular tennis, comprising a frame delimiting a roped surface forming a sieve, a handle extending the frame outside the sieve, characterized in that the frame is formed, at least in a peripheral region, of a curved lamellar of at least two layers of different materials contiguous to each other, the lamellar being shaped so that in a closed cross section of said peripheral region , considered perpendicular to the neutral fiber of the frame, the center of mass of said cross section is shifted towards the sieve relative to the center of gravity of said cross section, of a value at least equal to 5% of the width of the said cross section, this width being defined by the intersection of the cross section with the plane of the sieve.
- a racket frame thus formed has excellent performance in terms of handling, weight, mechanical strength, ability to stabilize the frame during large deformations and to filter microvibrations.
- the sieve is a layer of a rigid and structural material on which can be supported one or more layers of materials having the stabilizing and filtering effects mentioned above.
- a central layer is for example intended to stabilize the frame during large vibrations while an outer layer, located at a distance from the screen is adapted to the filtration of micro-vibrations.
- the densest and therefore heavier layers are placed closest to the sieve, which limits the effects of inertia with respect to a longitudinal axis of the racket or even relative to on the handle of the racket.
- the least dense layers and therefore the least heavy are located at the outer periphery of the frame, the farthest side of the sieve. These layers are preferably intended to ensure good compressive strength of the frame, stabilization during large deformations, and filtration of micro-vibrations.
- the layers of a racket frame according to the invention are advantageously made of wood (with the exception of an optional reinforcing sheath placed around one of the layers).
- the frame according to the invention thus constituted involves more than 75% of natural and renewable materials, which constitutes a particularly strong technical, ecological and commercial argument.
- the frame consists of a laminate comprising at least two layers of different materials, including a first layer located on the inner side of the frame, has a density greater than the density of the second layer. located on the outside of the frame.
- the laminate consists of at least three layers of at least two different materials.
- the laminate consists of at least four layers of at least three different materials.
- the laminate comprises several different layers of wood, these woods being chosen from: acacia, balsa, walnut.
- the laminate comprises at least one layer of acacia located on the inner side of the frame and defining the sieve.
- Acacia is a wood with high mechanical characteristics. It is a very nervous and resilient wood. Placed at the inner periphery of the sieve, it constitutes an excellent support for one or more layers situated opposite the sieve, and makes it possible, by its density opposite the other layers, to move the center of mass of the section towards the center of the sieve.
- said at least one acacia layer may consist of two layers of acacia. These two layers can be arranged so that their fibers are oriented in the same direction, or vice versa, and in another optional variant of the invention, so that their respective fibers are in opposition to each other.
- the laminate comprises at least one walnut layer located outside the frame.
- Walnut is a low-density wood with counter-grain which gives it an ability to effectively filter micro-vibrations.
- the laminate comprises at least one layer of balsa. This material is appreciated for its great lightness.
- said at least one layer of balsa is interposed between said at least one acacia layer and said at least one walnut layer.
- This balsa core has a high compressive strength and is an excellent stabilizer for large deformations.
- said at least one balsa layer is enclosed in a fiberglass or carbon sheath or a combination of both.
- This sheath contributes to the rigidity and cohesion of all the layers together.
- the fiberglass sheath comprises a reinforcement chosen from: carbon son or basalt son.
- the layers are bonded by polymerization of a synthetic resin to each other.
- the wood layers of the laminate substantially represent the following proportions of the width of the cross-section: - between 20 and 40% acacia,
- the racket is a tennis racket.
- FIG. 1 partially represents a flat tennis racket
- FIGS. 2 and 3 represent a cross section of the frame of the racket of FIG. 1, along the sectional line A-A, these representations being respectively in perspective and perpendicular to the plane of the transverse section, and
- FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal perspective part of the balsa layer and its composite sheath.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the frame of a tennis racket represented without its handle.
- the frame 1 defines a corded surface forming a sieve 2.
- the racket is shown without rope.
- the handle 3 is joined to the frame by two connecting branches 4, 5 as shown. In a variant not shown, the handle 3 can be connected to the frame 1 by a single central branch.
- the frame 1 consists, at least in a peripheral region, of a curved lamellar of at least two layers 6-10 of different materials contiguous to each other. one to the other, the lamellar being shaped so that, in a closed cross-section T of said peripheral region, considered perpendicular to the neutral fiber of the frame 1, the center of mass M of said transverse section T is shifted towards the sieve 2 versus at the center of gravity S of said transverse section T, of a value d at least equal to 5% of the width L of said transverse section T, this width being defined by the intersection of the transverse section T with the plane of the sieve 2.
- the cross section is said to be "closed” in the sense that only such a section is considered along a cutting line A-A on only one side of the frame 1, and not on both diametrically opposite sides.
- the center of mass is defined as the center of weight or centroid of the cross-section. This center of mass takes into account differences in density, or more precisely, mass relative to each zone or region of the cross-section.
- the surface center of gravity is a geometrical concept, which corresponds to the center of mass assuming that the entire cross-section is fictitiously homogeneous, that is to say made of the same material, having in all zones the same density or mass per unit area.
- this offset may be for example 10% or 20% or even a higher value. It is also indicated that an offset having the same order of magnitude is provided between the center of mass M of the transverse section T and the neutral fiber of the frame 1, the neutral fiber being conventionally defined in that it constitutes a fictitious line in which the tensile or compressive forces are theoretically zero despite the bending of the frame.
- the frame 1 is made homogeneously regardless of the peripheral region considered.
- the transverse sections are formed in the same way at every point of the periphery of the frame 1.
- the attached layers 6-9 therefore have a substantially annular shape corresponding to the general shape of the frame 1.
- the frame is shaped so that, in at least one peripheral region, the mass or weight of the frame is substantially concentrated towards the sieve, it is ie towards the inside of the frame 1 rather than towards the outside.
- the frame is shaped so that this concentration of mass or weight is uniformly provided over its entire periphery.
- the frame 1 consists of a laminate comprising at least two layers 6-9 of different materials, including a first layer located on the inner side of the frame, has a density greater than the density of the second layer on the outer side of the frame. frame.
- the frame 1 consists of a laminate of four layers 6-9 of three different materials. These materials are advantageously wood.
- the woods are chosen from: acacia, balsa, walnut.
- the collage and the curved shaping of these woods are made in a conventional manner and known to those skilled in the art of wooden snowshoes.
- the wood layers are glued in an oven by polymerization of a synthetic resin to each other.
- the two layers 6, 7 located on the inner side of the frame 1, ie adjacent to the screen 2 are preferably made of acacia.
- the acacia being an extremely nervous and resilient wood, its arrangement on the inner side of the sieve 2 makes it a support or support element for the other layers 8, 9 which are contiguous to it on the outside of the sieve 2.
- the density of the the acacia being relatively high, its arrangement on the inner side of the sieve 2 makes it possible to limit the polar inertia due to the distance of the masses from the center of the sieve 2.
- the two layers of acacia are arranged so that their respective fibers are in opposition to each other.
- the layers are thus arranged head to tail.
- This arrangement increases the rigidity of the two layers of acacia which limits their deformation.
- the laminate frame 1 also comprises a walnut layer 9 located outside the frame, at least on the outside with respect to the acacia layers 6, 7.
- the walnut is a low density wood having counter-grain which gives it an ability to effectively filter micro-vibrations.
- the frame 1 of the racket also comprises a layer of balsa 8. This is interposed between the two layers of acacia 6, 7 and the walnut layer 9.
- This balsa core has a high compressive strength and is an excellent stabilizer during large deformations.
- the balsa layer 8 is clamped in a fiberglass sheath 10, visible in FIGS. 2 to 4.
- This sheath 10 contributes to the rigidity and cohesion of all of the contiguous layers.
- the sheath 10 is disposed around the balsa layer 8 so as to form a reinforced central layer.
- the layers of acacia 6, 7 and walnut 9 are then placed on either side of this central layer of reinforced balsa 8, 10 prior to bending and gluing.
- the sheath 10 fiberglass comprises a reinforcement selected from carbon son or basalt son.
- the racket frame 1 is defined as follows, in proportion:
- the frame has a cross section T in the general shape of a rectangle with rounded edges. Layers 6-9 are oriented parallel to the long sides of the rectangle. Thus, the frame 1 reveals the edges of the different layers 6-9 on its opposite parallel faces, which correspond to the short sides of the rectangle. Note also that the rectangle is deformed / curved on the inner side, that is to say on the sieve side 2.
- the two layers of acacia 6, 7 can have different thicknesses and shapes.
- the invention is not limited to the means that have just been described and includes all the technical equivalents.
