Description
La présente invention concerne une raquette pour jouer et en particulierThe present invention relates to a racket for playing and in particular
une raquette pourvue d'una racket equipped with a
élément d'amortissement de vibrations. vibration damping element.
La présente invention a pour but de créer une raquette dans laquelle un élément d'amortissement de vibra- tions, constitué d'un matériau déformable par hystérésis, est placé sur la tige de manche de la raquette, à moins de mm d'un côté ou de l'autre du centre de gravité de la raquette. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la raquette comporte une seule tige de manche et l'élément It is an object of the present invention to provide a racket in which a vibration damping member, made of a hysteresis deformable material, is placed on the handle shaft of the racket, within one mm of a side or the other center of gravity of the racket. In one embodiment of the invention, the racket comprises a single handle shaft and the element
d'amortissement de vibrations est fixé sur cette tige. vibration damping is attached to this rod.
En variante, l'élément d'amortissement de vibrations peut être moulé autour de la tige de manche, par exemple Alternatively, the vibration damping element may be molded around the handle shaft, for example
par moulage par injection.by injection molding.
Dans un second mode de réalisation de la présen- In a second embodiment of the present
te invention, la raquette comporte deux tiges de manche et l'élément d'amortissement de vibrations est fixé entre les deux tiges. La fixation de l'élément d'amortissement de vibrations peut être réalisée par emmanchement par friction In the invention, the racket has two handle rods and the vibration damping element is fixed between the two rods. The fixing of the vibration damping element can be carried out by friction fitting
entre les tiges de manche, avec ou sans l'aide d'un adhésif. between the sticks, with or without the aid of an adhesive.
L'élément d'amortissement de vibrations peut être constitué de caoutchouc naturel ou synthétique ou bien d'un matériau analogue au caoutchouc. En variante, l'élément d'amortissement de vibrations peut être formé d'un matériau The vibration damping element may be made of natural or synthetic rubber or a rubber-like material. Alternatively, the vibration damping element may be formed of a material
cellulaire, par exemple une mousse de polyuréthane. cellular, for example a polyurethane foam.
Avantageusement, l'élément d'amortissement de vibrations se présente sous la forme d'une barre allongée Advantageously, the vibration damping element is in the form of an elongated bar
ou d'un cylindre allongé.or an elongated cylinder.
Le poids maximal de l'élément d'amortissement The maximum weight of the damping element
de vibrations conforme à la présente invention est de 10 g. vibration according to the present invention is 10 g.
Conformément à l'invention, on a trouvé que l'élément d'amortissement de vibrations peut réduire l'effet de vibration produit dans la raquette lors d'un impact avec une balle en faisant en sorte que la vibration soit atténuée plus rapidement que si l'élément d'amortissement n'était According to the invention, it has been found that the vibration damping element can reduce the vibration effect produced in the racket during impact with a ball by causing the vibration to be attenuated more rapidly than if the depreciation item was

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention seront mis en évidence dans la Other features and advantages of the present invention will be highlighted in the
suite de la description; donnée à titre d'exemple non following the description; given as an example no
limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexes dans lesquels: - la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'une raquette équipée d'un élément d'amortissement de vibrations conforme à l'invention; - la figure 2 montre, au moyen de courbes de vibrations comparatives, l'atténuation des vibrations après impact d'une balle sur la raquette de la figure 1, avec et sans l'élément d'amortissement de vibrations de la présente invention. En référence à la figure 1, la raquette comprend une partie-tête 10 (représentée seulement en partie) et une partie-manche se composant de deux tiges minces llA et 118. Un élément d'amortissement de vibrations 20, formé de mousse de polyuréthane et pesant 2,0 g, est fixé entre les tiges 11 A et 11B de manière à s'étendre sur une distance approximativement égale de part et d'autre du centre de gravité de la raquette (représenté par la ligne en trait limiting, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a schematic view of a racket equipped with a vibration damping element according to the invention; FIG. 2 shows, by means of comparative vibration curves, the attenuation of the vibrations after the impact of a bullet on the racket of FIG. 1, with and without the vibration damping element of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, the racket comprises a head portion 10 (shown only in part) and a handle portion consisting of two thin rods 11A and 118. A vibration damping member 20, formed of polyurethane foam and weighing 2.0 grams, is attached between the rods 11A and 11B so as to extend an approximately equal distance on either side of the center of gravity of the paddle (represented by the line in the line
mixte CG).mixed CG).
L'atténuation des vibrations lors d'un impact *25 d'une balle sur la raquette a été testée avant et après la fixation de l'élément d'amortissement de vibrations et les The attenuation of vibrations during a ball impact on the racket was tested before and after the attachment of the vibration damping element and the
résultats sont indiqués sur la figure 2. Results are shown in Figure 2.
