is a plan view of my channel-section racket.
Figure 2 is a side view thereof. Figure 3 'is a crosssectional view takenthrough the frame, showing one of the outwardly bev eledstring-receiving holes, and Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through said frame to show the outwardly beveled string-receiving holes.
fi hroughout the specification and drawings, similar reference characters denote cor- In a detailed description of the form of embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the numeral 1 designates a channel-section frame of high carbon, heat treated steel, or other metallic material treated ina suitable manner so as to be proof against rust and which is bent to the oval shape indicated in Figure 1. This frame 1 terminates in two leg portions 2,2 which, after curving inwardl' at the i 5 applied to the inner end ofsaid handles (See Figures 1 and 2.) I
Suitablyformed in the bottom of the channel portion of the frame 1, are out- "would cause it to wear and break.
wardly beveled holes 6 regularly spaced apart to receive a gut or wire stringing 7. \Vhile I have shown these holes 6 as outwardly beveled ones, any other suitable sti'ingreceiving holes may be formed in the channeled frame if desired. The outwardly beveled holes which I have shown, receive the stringing in such a manner as to prevent the formation in it of sharp bends that (See Figures 3 and i.)
The channel-section frame 1 which I have illustrated and described is not only durable the stringing is protected by its channel port-ion from being scraped or cut when the racket is hit upon the ground.
For the purpose of reinforcing the frame 1 at itsthroat portion 3, two plates 8, 8 are provided. These reinforcing plates 8, 8 conform at their outer edges to the curvature of the legs 2, 2 of the frame, and are Preferably spot welded to the latter. They not only reinforce the racket frame, but may be used as name plates if desired.
' I do not wish to be limited to the details of construction and arrangement herein shown and described, and any changes or modifications may be made therein within the scope of the subjoined claim.
IIaving described my invention, I claim:
A tennis racket frame constructed of channel-section metal having, on its inside perimeter, outwardly-beveled portions containing string-receiving holes.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 6th day of July, 1922.
