FR2596994A1 - Ventilated moulded grip for games racquet - Google Patents

Abstract

Moulded grip following the inside form of a hand for games racquets. The invention relates to a handle for a games racquet moulded following the natural inside form of the hand. Since the form of this handle is hollow, it permits the circulation of air inside the latter, during displacements. It consists of a moulding 1 effected on the branches of the frame 2. The inside core 3 guides the air towards the ventilation holes 4 pierced at 40 (forty) degrees. The air exits due to the gripping action of the hand. The rotary or front to rear movements cause the air to circulate inside this handle. The ventilated moulding according to the invention is intended particularly for games racquets in general. It permits satisfactory holding and largely eliminates sweating.

Description

DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a racket handle ventilated from the inside and molded to the natural shape of the hand.

 Traditional sleeves have a standard geometric shape that does not take into account the natural internal shape of a closed hand.

 This embodiment according to the invention overcomes the drawbacks of a full standard handle.

 I1 ensures a good grip with a position of the fingers in natural closure.

 This handle will allow the user to reduce the clamping forces thanks to the correct position of his hand and fingers.

 By using it for several hours during it will be characterized by less fatigue.

 This preferential realization will require a weaker hand tightening and will decrease the muscular problems.

 According to its particularity, the user by virtue of the ventilation provided for in the invention will no longer have to cover with adhesive tape or to talcize or sponge the handle to prevent it from sliding.

 Aeration will largely eliminate perspiration.

 A non-slip paint will be applied in the end on the form.

 According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this handle can be molded into twenty-one sizes corresponding to a study of the dimensions of the hand, ranging from a teenager to an adult.

 According to a variant, these twenty-one standardized forms can be personalized according to the characteristic of a hand.

 Impressions can be taken by a Professional for possible touch-ups that can approach the form on a tenth loan.

 This molding allows a perfect grip and automatically locates the sieve of a racket in its game plan.

 The mold pierced in the areas in contact with the fingers and the palm of the hand receives air.

 The interior of the pierced handle being hollow, allows the entry of air during movements in front or behind the handle.

 In the center of the hollow part a nucleus formed as in the plan favors the channeling of air towards the ventilation holes.

 I1 is made of plastic or composite materials (fiberglass and resin mixture) or light alloy.

 I1 is produced in a single injection molding operation.

 The moldings made in a single injection operation will be obtained with a rough external surface to advantage the setting.

Claims (9)

 1) Hollow molded handle in the internal shape of a hand (1) on the frame of a racket (2) allowing air circulation from the inside for ventilation of the hand on the handle. The passage of air during movement is channeled by the internal guide core (3) to favor the penetration of air into the holes (4).  2) Handle according to claim (1) characterized in that the molding allows a perfect grip and locates the sieve of a racket in its game plan automatically.  3) Handle according to claim (1) in that the mold pierced in the areas in contact with the fingers and the palm of the hand can receive air.  4) Handle according to the preceding claims in that the interior of the molded pierced handle being hollow allows the entry of air during movements in front or behind the handle.  5) molded handle according to the preceding claims in that it contains in the center of the hollow part a core formed as in the plane which favors the channeling of air to the ventilation holes.  6) Handle according to claim (I) or claim (2) in that it is made of plastic or composite materials (fiberglass and resin mixture) or light alloys).  7) Handle according to the preceding claims in that it is produced in a single injection molding operation.  8) Handle according to the preceding claims in that the moldings made in a single injection operation will be obtained with a rough external surface to benefit the setting.  9) Handle according to the preceding claims in that the molding performed will be covered with a non-slip paint.
