Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a racket for a game of balls, and more particularly a padel racket or a beach tennis racket.
  • Padel rackets or beach tennis rackets are usually designed as tennis rackets.
  • a hollow frame of composite material is formed, with a head to delimit, peripherally, the strike zone of the racket.
  • a piece of foam possibly with holes for the passage of air, is arranged in the head of the racket, and several layers come to wrap the piece of foam and the frame of the head, in order to maintain all.
  • the document FR 2 908 051 describes a padel racket comprising a head and a handle.
  • the racket head has a frame with two striking surfaces and defining an inner chamber, and foamed layers laminated within the inner chamber and having specific densities to limit vibration.
  • foamed layers laminated within the inner chamber and having specific densities to limit vibration.
  • such a racket is not easily achievable, in particular the frame with its internal chamber, and the subsequent rolling of the foamed layers inside said internal chamber.
  • the connection with the handle of the racket, and more particularly the heart is not detailed, while it is an important area in terms of mechanical stresses.
  • the periphery of the racket in the form of a bead, also leads to obtaining a reduced striking area relative to the surface of the racket head.
  • the present invention aims to solve the various technical problems mentioned above.
  • the present invention aims to provide a racket, including paddle or beach tennis, which can be manufactured simply and having improved comfort compared to current rackets, particularly in terms of vibration and size of the strike zone.
  • a racket for a ball game comprising a head and a handle, wherein the head is formed by a deformable core material covered by at least one layer rigid coating.
  • the handle is also formed by a deformable core material covered by at least one layer of rigid coating.
  • deformable material means a material having an elastic deformation at the end of which it returns to its original shape, without residual deformation.
  • the racket according to the invention is therefore devoid of hollow peripheral frame, unlike current rackets. Indeed, thanks to the rigid coating layer covering the entire racket, it is possible to obtain strength properties comparable to those of current rackets, without the need for a tubular frame. It is thus possible to manufacture a racket more quickly and at lower cost, while maintaining the mechanical properties of current rackets. We also get a lighter racket. In addition, thanks to its homogeneous structure in which the entire racket has a two-part structure (core of deformable material covered by a rigid coating), we obtain a racket with homogeneous mechanical properties, and better absorption of vibrations . Moreover, the manufacture of the racket is simplified because the head and the handle can be manufactured simultaneously.
  • the deformable core material of the head is identical to that of the handle, possibly with different thicknesses.
  • the homogeneity of the core materials makes it possible to increase the absorption of the vibrations and to obtain a homogeneous behavior of the racket.
  • the material of the coating layer of the head is identical to that of the handle.
  • the homogeneity of the materials makes it possible to obtain a homogeneous behavior of the racket.
  • the deformable core material of the head and the deformable core material of the handle form a one-piece material.
  • the deformable core material can thus be manufactured in a single step, in the shape of the final racket, which simplifies manufacturing and reduces costs.
  • the coating layer of the head and the coating layer of the handle form a single coating layer, optionally formed by assembly, for example by crosslinking, of several folds of different shapes.
  • the material of the coating layer can also be manufactured in a single step, which simplifies manufacturing and reduces costs.
  • the handle comprises a handle and a connecting portion disposed between the handle and the racket head, and the connecting portion is solid or has a central through opening for passing air.
  • the presence of a through opening reduces the friction of the racket during use, while a full link portion allows a simpler and faster manufacture.
  • the racket may also comprise a reversible attachment means of the handle on the connecting portion or the connecting portion on the head.
  • the deformable core material is selected from: foam, cork, elastomer, latex.
  • the deformable core material is chosen for its elastic properties.
  • the material of the rigid coating layer is chosen from: a composite material, such as glass fibers impregnated in a polymeric matrix, a thermoplastic or thermosetting material, such as polycarbonate or polyethylene.
  • a composite material such as glass fibers impregnated in a polymeric matrix
  • a thermoplastic or thermosetting material such as polycarbonate or polyethylene.
  • Polycarbonate makes it possible to obtain a particularly resistant and solid coating.
  • the polycarbonate may be applied in the form of a thermoformed sheet, possibly previously decorated. It is then possible to apply, on the core material, the coating with an integrated decoration, so that the manufacture of the racket no longer requires subsequent stages of decoration and varnishing.
  • a method of manufacturing a racket for a ball game comprising a head and a handle, in which one forms, for example by molding or by cutting and / or or machining in a plate, a portion of deformable core material having the shape of the racket and said portion is covered with at least one layer of rigid coating.
  • the method is thus particularly simplified and fast, and makes it easy to make adaptations to obtain the desired mechanical properties for the racket.
  • FIG. 1 shows a paddle racket
  • FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D represent different embodiments of the edge of a racket according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 schematically illustrates a paddle racket 1 according to the invention.
  • the racket 1 comprises a racket head 2 forming a striking surface, and a handle 3.
  • the handle 3 is mounted in the extension of the racket head 2, and comprises: a handle 4 and two connecting branches 6, 8 delimiting a recessed space 10 allowing the passage of air.
  • the racket head 2 has two striking surfaces 12, 14 opposite and substantially parallel, possibly with air passage holes 16, and a edge 18 connecting peripherally the two striking surfaces 12, 14.
  • the handle 4 can be connected to the racket head 2 by a solid connection zone.
  • the racket head 2 is formed by a core of deformable core material surrounded by a coating layer of rigid material.
  • the handle 3 is formed by a core of deformable core material, surrounded by a coating layer, of rigid material.
  • Figure 2 shows, in longitudinal section, the racket 1 according to Figure 1, in the plane II-II.
  • the racket head 2 comprises a core 20 surrounded by a coating layer 22 on the side of the two striking surfaces 12, 14 and on the edge 18.
  • the handle 3 comprises a core 24 surrounded by a coating layer 26.
  • the core 20 of the racket head and the core 24 of the handle 3 may be of different materials.
  • the coating layer 22 of the racket head 2 and the coating layer 26 of the handle 3 may be of different materials.
  • the different parts of the racket 1 can be made during the same manufacturing steps, or can be manufactured independently before being assembled together.
  • the core 20 of the racket head and the core 24 of the handle 3 are made of the same material, in one piece.
  • soul 20, 24 of the racket 1 to designate both the soul 20 of the head 2 and the soul 24 of the handle 3.
  • the coating layer 22 of the racket head 2 and the coating layer 26 of the handle 3 are made of the same material during the same manufacturing step. This will be referred to as a coating layer 22, 26 of the racket 1, to designate both the coating layer 22 of the head 2 and the coating layer 26 of the handle 3.
  • the core 20, 24 of the racket is thus formed in a deformable material capable of absorbing shocks, for example of foamed material, such as poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate) (EVA), poly (chloride of vinyl) (PVC) or polyether urethane (PU), cork, rubber, or latex.
  • foamed material such as poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate) (EVA), poly (chloride of vinyl) (PVC) or polyether urethane (PU), cork, rubber, or latex.
  • EVA ethylene-vinyl acetate
  • PVC poly (chloride of vinyl)
  • PU polyether urethane
  • cork cork
  • rubber or latex
  • the coating layer 22, 26 of the racket 1 is made of composite material, for example fiberglass and / or carbon pre-impregnated with a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin.
  • a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin.
  • the coating layer 22, 26 of the racket is formed by applying strips of composite material, disposed on the exposed surface of the core 20, 24 formed previously. The assembly is then placed in a mold, particularly hot, to achieve the crosslinking of the strips of composite material and thus obtain the final racket before decoration.
  • the coating layer
  • the 22, 26 of the racket 1 can be formed from coating sheets, for example thermoplastic or thermosetting sheets such as thermoformed polycarbonate sheets.
  • the polycarbonate sheets have particularly high strength properties, making the racket more robust, and can be previously decorated before application to the core, which facilitates the decoration of the racket.
  • the covering sheets can be placed on the core of the racket by applying a pressure difference (application under vacuum or with an overpressure) to perfectly fit the shape and contours of the soul of the racket.
  • the two faces of the core 20 are each covered by a covering sheet 22, to form the two striking surfaces 12, 14.
  • Each covering sheet 22 covers a face of the core 20 and a portion of the song of the soul 20.
  • the songs 18 of the racket 1 can be made in different ways.
  • one of the covering sheets 22 comes to cover the edge of the core 20, whereas the other covering sheet 22 covers (overlaps) the first sheet at the level of said edge of the core.
  • the edge 18 of the racket is then formed by the superposition of the two covering sheets 22, which gives it additional rigidity and increased strength.
  • each covering sheet 22 partially covers the edge of the core 20, and the two covering sheets overlap only on part of the edge of the core 20, for example on the middle part of the edge of the core. In this embodiment, only the portion of the edge with the two superposed covering sheets 22 has improved stiffness and strength.
  • each covering sheet 22 partially covers the edge of the core, without overlapping, and an insert 28, for example in the same material as that of the covering sheets 22, covers the edge of the racket overlapping on each of the covering sheets 22.
  • an insert 28 for example in the same material as that of the covering sheets 22, covers the edge of the racket overlapping on each of the covering sheets 22.
  • the two covering sheets 22 are arranged edge to edge, that is to say they are linked together edge by edge by their slices (or songs) or by their internal faces arranged opposite the 20.
  • the edge-to-edge connection of the two covering sheets 22 can be made at the middle portion of the edge of the core 20, in which case each covering sheet 22 substantially covers half of the edge of the core.
  • a reinforced and rigid racket edge 18 is then also obtained.
  • the edge-to-edge connection of the two covering sheets 22 may in particular form a bead, for example when the covering sheets 22 are interconnected by their internal faces arranged facing the core 20.
  • the patch 30 may then have a section, for example inverted U, to come to cover the edge-to-edge connection in the form of a bead.
  • rackets according to the two embodiments described above can be manufactured easily and quickly, while having mechanical properties and robustness equivalent or better than current rackets.
  • the snowshoes described above are lighter, better absorb vibrations and have enlarged striking surfaces compared to snowshoes of the prior art.
