Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a grip structure for a racket such as a tennis racket, and more particularly to a shock absorbing technique for grips.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, in a tennis racket made of graphite, the shaft forming portion and the grip forming end portion of the end portion are formed in a hollow shape. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, by gripping the outer peripheral surface of the grip forming end portion 1 with a lightweight urethane resin 2, and further winding a tape 3 around the outer peripheral surface of the urethane resin 2, a grip is formed. 4 is formed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the structure of the grip 4 in such a conventional tennis racket, since the grip forming end portion 1 of the tennis racket is simply covered with the urethane resin 2 and the tape 3, the impact at the time of hitting the tennis racket is impacted. Was easily transmitted from the grip 4 to the user's hand, and the structure did not provide sufficient shock absorption.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sufficient shock absorbing structure in a grip portion of a racket such as a tennis racket.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 has a structure in which a tubular grip member made of a rubber material is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the grip forming end portion of the racket. According to a second aspect of the present invention, the grip member is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the grip forming end of the racket with a double-sided tape.

According to a third aspect of the invention, a plurality of recesses for reducing the weight of the grip member are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grip member.

[0007]

[Embodiment of device]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a portion of a grip 10 of a tennis racket made of graphite. In this figure, the grip forming end 11 of the tennis racket is formed in a slightly flattened substantially octagonal hollow shape, and a reinforcing rib 12 is provided in the center thereof.

A tubular grip member 13 made of a rubber material is covered and fixed to the grip forming end portion 11 of the tennis racket, whereby the grip 10 is formed. Similar to the grip forming end 11 of the tennis racket, the grip member 13 is formed in a slightly flat and substantially octagonal hollow shape, and is set to a length that matches the length of the grip forming end 11. .

The grip member 13 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the grip forming end portion 11 of the racket with, for example, a double-sided tape 14 attached to every other eight surfaces of the inner surface of the grip member 13. A plurality of recesses 15 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grip member 13 to reduce its weight. The concave portion 15 may be formed in an arbitrary shape such as a round shape and provided at an arbitrary position, and is not particularly limited to the embodiment.

Reference numeral 16 is an end cap that is capped on the end portion of the grip 10 configured as described above. According to the structure of the tennis racket grip 10 having such a configuration, the outer peripheral surface of the grip forming end 11 of the tennis racket is covered with the tubular grip member 13 made of a rubber material so as to be fixed thereto. The impact at that time is hard to be transmitted from the grip 10 to the user's hand, and a sufficient impact absorbing structure can be provided.

In particular, in the above embodiment, since the grip member 13 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the grip forming end portion 11 of the tennis racket with the double-sided tape 14, the grip is easily performed with a simple material and work. The member 13 can be fixed. Further, since the plurality of recesses 15 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grip member 13 to reduce the weight thereof, the weight of the rubber material which is relatively heavier than the conventional urethane resin or the like is used. The increase can be suppressed.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, it is difficult for the grip to transmit the impact at the time of hitting a racket such as a tennis racket to the user's hand, and a sufficient impact cushioning structure can be provided. According to the invention of claim 2, the grip member can be easily fixed with a simple material and work.

According to the invention of claim 3, it is possible to suppress an increase in weight due to the rubber material for forming the grip member, which is relatively heavy.
