Abstract

The handle of the tennis racket has a tube (2), made of plastic material, that can turn round its end part (1). The main part (4) of the handle, on which the thumb, index and middle fingers rest, is thicker and wider than its end. The length of the tube is sufficient for the ring finger, the little finger and part of the palm to fit round it. The outer diameter of the tube is equal to the thickness of its main part. A cap (3), fixed to the end of the handle, holds the tube in place.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif placé sur le manche d'une raquette de tennis et qui permet de passer d'une prise eastern ou western de coup droit à une prise eastern,western ou continentale de revers (ou inversement). The present invention relates to a device placed on the handle of a tennis racket and which makes it possible to pass from an eastern or western grip of forehand to an eastern, western or continental grip of backhand (or vice versa).

Habituellement, pour effectuer un changement de prise, la main gauche (si le joueur est droitier) soutient le corps de la raquette pour permettre à la main droite de lâcher le manche et de le reprendre en posant l'hypothénar sur une autre face. Lorsqu'il s'agit par exemple, d'une prise eastern de coup droit, l'hypothénar se place sur la face latérale oblique supérieure. Pour une prise eastern de revers, l'hypothénar se pose sur la face supérieure du manche. Le placement de la main doit se faire rapidement et avec un maximum de précision. Usually, to make a change of grip, the left hand (if the player is right-handed) supports the body of the racket to allow the right hand to let go of the handle and take it up by placing the hypothenar on another face. In the case of, for example, an eastern forehand grip, the hypothenar is placed on the upper oblique lateral face. For an eastern grip on the back, the hypothenar is placed on the upper face of the handle. The placement of the hand must be done quickly and with maximum precision.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de faciliter l'opération. En effet. une partie du manche est recouverte d'un tube plastique. Celui-ci s'ajuste parfaitement à la taille du manche et peut tourner autour sans qu il y est le moindre jeu. Sur ce tube, seuls l'oricculaire, l'annulaire et une partie de la paume se positionnent dessus. The device according to the invention makes it possible to facilitate the operation. Indeed. part of the handle is covered with a plastic tube. It adjusts perfectly to the size of the handle and can turn around without any play. On this tube, only the ring finger, ring finger and part of the palm are positioned on it.

Le pouce, le majeur et l'index se placent sur la partie du manche non recouverte par le tube. Lorsque le joueur souhaite changer de prise, les doigts placés sur le tube ne bougent pas puisque c'est le tube lui même qui va tourner autour du manche. Seuls les trois autres doigts doivent s'ouvrir. The thumb, middle finger and index finger are placed on the part of the handle not covered by the tube. When the player wishes to change grip, the fingers placed on the tube do not move since it is the tube itself which will rotate around the handle. Only the other three fingers should open.

Avec ce dispositif, la main droite reste quasiment en contact permanent avec le manche.With this device, the right hand remains almost in permanent contact with the handle.

Afin que le tube ne se déplace le long du manche, la partie visible du manche doit être plus épaisse et plus large d'un ou de deux millimètres. So that the tube does not move along the handle, the visible part of the handle must be thicker and wider by one or two millimeters.

Cette différence correspond à l'épaisseur du tube et est donc variable. Le diamètre intérieur du tube est très sensiblement supérieur à l'épaisseur de la partie du manche recouverte par ce tube. (I'épaisseur d'un manche de raquette est la distance entre la face supérieure et la face inférieure du manche tandis que sa largeur est la distance entre les deux faces latérales). This difference corresponds to the thickness of the tube and is therefore variable. The inside diameter of the tube is very much greater than the thickness of the part of the handle covered by this tube. (The thickness of a racket handle is the distance between the upper face and the lower face of the handle while its width is the distance between the two lateral faces).

L'épaisseur est supérieure à la largeur ainsi, le tube qui a initialement, une forme cylindrique doit prendre une forme ovale. Pour cette raison il est nécessaire que l'épaisseur du tube ne dépasse pas les deux millimètres. A l'extrémité du manche est fixé un capuchon empêchant le tube de quitter son axe. The thickness is greater than the width thus, the tube which initially has a cylindrical shape must take an oval shape. For this reason it is necessary that the thickness of the tube does not exceed two millimeters. At the end of the handle is fixed a cap preventing the tube from leaving its axis.

Pour que la main ait la meilleur adhérence possible sur le manche, il ne doit y avoir aucun espace entre le tube et la partie visible du manche. For the hand to have the best possible grip on the handle, there should be no space between the tube and the visible part of the handle.

La figure l qui est annexée représente en coupe le dispositif de l'invention.Figure 1 which is attached shows in section the device of the invention.

En référence à ce dessin, une partie du manche (1) est recouverte par un tube (2). Un capuchon (3) est placé à l'extrémité de la partie (l) du manche.With reference to this drawing, part of the handle (1) is covered by a tube (2). A cap (3) is placed at the end of the part (l) of the handle.

La partie visible du manche (4) ainsi que le tube (2) sont tous deux recouverts de grip (5). A l'intérieur du manche il y a une barre (6).Both the visible part of the handle (4) and the tube (2) are covered with grip (5). Inside the handle there is a bar (6).

La longueur du tube varie suivant la taille de la main du joueur et donc de la taille du manche de sa raquette. Mais à titre indicatif, si l'épaisseur du manche est de 3,1 cl et que sa largeur est de 2,8cm alors la longueur du tube peut être de 4,7cm.The length of the tube varies according to the size of the player's hand and therefore the size of the handle of his racket. But as an indication, if the thickness of the handle is 3.1 cl and its width is 2.8cm then the length of the tube can be 4.7cm.

Selon une variante non illustrée, la partie cachée du manche peut avoir une forme cylindrique pour mieux adhérer au tube. La partie (4) par contre, doit conserver la forme igonale.  According to a variant not illustrated, the hidden part of the handle can have a cylindrical shape to better adhere to the tube. Part (4) on the other hand, must keep the igonal form.
