Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a vibration damping device for tennis rackets, and more specifically, by attaching it to the gut of a tennis racket, the present invention damps or absorbs as much as possible the vibration of the gut when hitting a ball. The present invention relates to a vibration damping device that can

As we all know, the gut of a tennis racket is stretched with tension. For this reason, the ball has appropriate rebound resilience when hitting the ball. However, on the other hand, when the ball is hit, the wires that make up the gut vibrate violently, which may cause numbness in the hands.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned points, and its gist is that at the end of a rubber band-like body for spanning between the wire rods constituting the gut of a tennis racket, a This is a vibration damping device for a tennis racket, which is provided with an engaging means for holding a band-shaped body suspended in a tension state, and its purpose is to damp the vibration of the racket at the diameter of the hit ball. Another object of the present invention is to provide a means that can be easily attached to the wire material constituting the gut, and that can also be easily attached to the wire material constituting the gut. To provide a vibration damping device which is firmly attached after being worn and hardly falls off during tennis play.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The perspective view in Fig. 1 and the sectional view in Fig. 2 show the first example, the perspective view in Fig. 3 shows the second example, and the sectional view in Fig. 2 shows the first example.
The perspective view in the figure shows a third example. In the first example, 1 is a rubber band-like body for spanning between the wires F1, F2, F3, which constitute the gut G of the tennis racket T, for example, a length of 10 cm, a width of 1.3 cm,
It is approximately 0.2 cm thick and made of silicone rubber.
And the upper surface 3 near one end 2 of this strip 1
A protrusion 4 parallel to the end 2 is formed along the width direction, and a protrusion 7 parallel to the end 5 is formed along the width direction on the lower surface 6 near the other end 5. 4 and 7 connect the strip 1 to the wire rods F1, F2, F3...
It functions as an engaging means for attachment between the parts. This provides an example of a vibration damper. Of course, the number of protrusions at one end and the other end serving as the engagement means may not be one, but may be a plurality. For example, in the case shown in FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 4, three protrusions 12, 13, 14 are formed on the upper surface near one end 2, and similarly, the other end 5 is formed with three protrusions 10, 11. This shows an example in which three protrusions 15, 16, and 17 are formed on the lower surface near the .

Next, based on this configuration, how to use it will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

First, the vibration damping device may be installed at any position within the gut G other than the hitting surface. For example, the arrow P1 position, P2 position, P3 position, P4 position, etc. in FIG. 5 may be selected. For example, assuming that the P1 position is selected, an example of attaching the wire to that part will be explained with reference to FIG. 6.
It passes above the wire, passes under the wire F4, and then passes over the wire F5 and F6. After that, one end of the wire F1 outside is folded upward and the wire F2 is folded upward.
, and engage the protrusion 4 with the wire F2.
Further, the other end of the wire F6 outside is folded downward and passed over the wire F5 to engage the protrusion 7 with the wire F5. As a result, the rubber band-like body is attached between the wire rods F1 to F6 in a taut state. In such a case, when the ball is hit, the wires F1, F2, etc. that make up the gut G vibrate, but the wires F1, F2...
2... is equipped with a rubber strip 1 that acts as a resistance against vibrations, so the vibrations are forcibly damped, which may cause numbness in the hands when hitting the ball. This is to be prevented. Therefore, even when the strip 1 is installed between the wires F1 to F6, the wires are not forced to one side or excessive force is applied to the wires, and the strip 1 Since the wire itself expands and contracts and is attached between the wire rods, it hardly weakens the initially set rebound resilience of the wire rod. Further, in the above example, the engagement means provided near both left and right ends of the rubber strip 1 are shown as protrusions, but as shown in FIG. , 19 may be used, or in some cases, an engagement means such as a button may be used.

As described in detail above, the present invention is such that the rubber band 1 is fixed to the wire and held in tension at the end of the rubber band 1 to be hung between the wire rods constituting the gut G of the tennis racket T. This vibration damping device for tennis rackets is characterized by being provided with an engaging means to prevent the vibration of the tennis racket, so it has the advantage of being able to effectively dampen or absorb the vibrations of the gut when hitting a ball, thereby reducing hand numbness. etc. can be prevented as much as possible. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a vibration damping device that is easy to attach to the gut and is not likely to fall off unexpectedly.
