Abstract

The centring device makes it possible for all users of racquets (tennis, badminton, squash, etc.) to replace the racquet stringing in a single maneouvre by means of simple pressure. The face of the centring device which the user presses against the stringing is a squared plate of embossed volumes (the other face may have any form). Each of the embossed volumes penetrates, when pressed, into each of the spaces formed by the strings. The centring device is pressed against the stringing, inside the frame of the racquet, the said frame serving as its guide. It is manufactured from all rigid materials, as part of mass production (with a mould, for example), or individually (by milling, for example). It may have various forms according to the desired form of the racquet, appearance or use.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un appareil se plaquant contre le cordage des raquettes afin de remettre les cordes en place, parallèles, dans le sens horizontal comme le sens vertical, comme le montre la figure 1.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus which is pressed against the stringing of the rackets in order to reposition the strings, parallel, in the horizontal direction as the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. 1.

Ledit appareil pourra être utile à tous les utilisateurs de raquettes (tennis, badminton, squash...).This device can be useful for all racket users (tennis, badminton, squash ...).

Aujourd'hui, rien n'existe pour le centrage des cordages de raquettes les utilisateurs rectifient 11 emplacement des cordes avec leurs doigts c'est un travail fastidieux, au résultat très imparfait.Today, nothing exists for the centering of the racket strings. Users correct the location of the strings with their fingers. This is tedious work, with very imperfect results.

L'appareil permet en une seule manipulation -par simple pression- d'avoir un résultat parfait, sur une surface de frappe importante.The device allows a single result - by simple pressure - to have a perfect result, on a large striking surface.

La face de cet appareil que l'utilisateur presse contre le cordage est une plaque quadrimmée de volumes en relief, comme le montre la figure 2 ; l'autre face peut avoir n'importe quelle forme.The face of this device that the user presses against the rope is a quadrimmed plate of raised volumes, as shown in Figure 2; the other side can have any shape.

Chacun des volumes en relief pénètre, lors de la pression, dans chacun des espaces que forment les cordes en se croisant, comme le montre la figure 3.Each of the raised volumes penetrates, when pressed, into each of the spaces formed by the strings crossing each other, as shown in FIG. 3.

L'appareil se plaque contre le cordage, à l'intérieur du cadre de la raquette le cadre de la raquette sert de guide à l'appareil, comme le montre la figure 4.The device is pressed against the rope, inside the racket frame the racket frame serves as a guide for the device, as shown in Figure 4.

L'appareil est fabriqué en matières rigides, telles que le bois, le métal, les matières plastiques, le caoutchouc etc...The device is made of rigid materials, such as wood, metal, plastics, rubber, etc.

I1 peut être réalisé sous différentes formes
* Forme simple : l'appareil n'est alors qu'une simple plaque dont l'une des faces est quadrillée de volumes en relief,
* Double : il est alors composé de deux plaques dont l'une se fixe sur le cordage et l'autre sous le cordage ; les deux plaques s'emboitent l'une dans l'autre en emprisonnant les cordes et en proégeant ainsi le cordage, comme le montre la figure 5,
* Avec poignée : dans ce cas là, la face destinée à venir en contact avec le cordage se présente comme une plaque quadrillée de volumes an relief ; l'autre face a la forme d'une poignée, comme le montre la figure 6,
* Fixé sur un support : la face utile de l'appareil se présente comme une plaque quadrillée de volumes en relief ; l'autre face est fixée par vis ou tout autre moyen contre un mur ou sur un socle posé par terre, comme le montre le figure 7,
* Multiple : dans ce cas là, plusieurs appareils de taille et de volumes différents sont fixés sur un même support, comme le montre la figure 8,
* Etc...... I1 can be produced in different forms
* Simple shape: the device is then only a simple plate, one of the faces of which is grid with raised volumes,
* Double: it is then composed of two plates, one of which attaches to the line and the other under the line; the two plates fit into each other, trapping the ropes and thus protecting the rope, as shown in Figure 5,
* With handle: in this case, the face intended to come into contact with the rope is presented as a gridded plate of volumes in relief; the other side has the shape of a handle, as shown in Figure 6,
* Fixed on a support: the useful face of the device is presented as a grid plate of raised volumes; the other side is fixed by screws or any other means against a wall or on a base placed on the ground, as shown in Figure 7,
* Multiple: in this case, several devices of different size and volume are fixed on the same support, as shown in Figure 8,
* Etc ......

Claims

R E V E N D I C A T I O N S
