Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a table tennis racket including a finger support part. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a table tennis racket including at least one of a thumb support part, an index finger support part, and a support part for supporting a middle finger, a ring finger, or a little finger, thereby helping athletic performance with a stable and strong gripping force.

BACKGROUND ART

A gripping method for a table tennis racket changes according to the type, and a shake hand gripping method is a method of gripping a table tennis racket like a handshake which allows a user to stably and strongly grip the racket using the user's palms and fingers.
On the other hand, a penholder gripping method is a method of gripping a table tennis racket as if gripping a pen stand, and since the table tennis racket is supported with almost only fingers, the shape, the size, the weight, or the like of the racket causes a burden to the user, and thus affects athletic performance.
Even though a Chinese-type penholder racket has a similar shape to the shake hand racket, the penholder gripping method is adopted without a separate supplementary tool, and thus there is a negative effect on the athletic performance due to a reduction in the concentration caused by the inconvenience of gripping and psychological burden to the user.

MODES OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a table tennis racket, and a Chinese-type pen racket may be a Chinese-type penholder racket that is a type of a penholder racket. The Chinese pen racket has a double-sided racket shape similar to a shake hand racket but may have a form in which a body part of a blade to which a rubber in contact with a table tennis ball is attached is relatively wide and a handle has a wide width and a short length, which is a form obtained by combining the advantages of a Japanese-type penholder racket and the shake hand racket.
The table tennis racket includes a blade and rubber, and the blade includes a body having a surface which comes into contact with a ball and on which the rubber is attached, and a handle, has a blade shape according to the type of the table tennis racket, and is made of materials, which may be used in the table tennis racket, such as wood, cork, rubber, and carbon.
In general, the table tennis racket may be classified into a single-sided racket and a double-sided racket based on surfaces to which coverings as well as the rubber are attached, and classified into a shake hand racket and a penholder racket according to a gripping method, and the penholder racket may be classified into a single-sided penholder racket using only one surface, such as the Japanese-type penholder and a double-sided penholder using both front and rear surfaces, such as the Chinese-type penholder.
A shake hand gripping method is a method of gripping a racket like handshaking and achieving a stable and strong grip using a palm and fingers, but a penholder gripping method is a method of gripping a racket as if gripping a pen stand and supporting the racket using almost only fingers, making it possible to affect athletic performance according to the shape, the size, and the weight of the racket and a state of the handle.
The Japanese-type penholder has the rubber attached to only one surface, and thus a weight burden is light. A handle part has a greatly protruding index finger hook, and thus the racket can be easily gripped and easily controlled through the index finger. On the other hand, since the Chinese-type penholder has a shape similar to the shake hand racket with rubber attached to both surfaces and adopts a penholder gripping method, a burden of efficient distribution according to the weight and a volume further increases, a wide handle part is inserted between and in close contact with the thumb and the index finger rather than stably holding and gripping the racket using fingers, the middle finger, the ring finger, or the little finger support the rear surface while a portion near the handle is pushed using the thumb and the index finger, and thus, it is difficult to control because of an uncomfortable and unstable grip together with a burden on a body such as a sliding finger, a shaking racket, and difficulty in adjusting an angle due to the shape of the racket and the gripping method.
The table tennis may be referred to as a very sensitive and delicate sport, of which performance is affected by conditions such as a method of gripping the racket, a weight, a volume, a posture, and an angle of the racket, as well as a mental state (psychological stability and confidence) of a user.
Advantages and features of the present disclosure and a method of achieving the advantages and the features will become apparent with reference to embodiments described below in detail together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments presented below but may be implemented in various different forms, and the present embodiments are merely provided to notify and inform of the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art to which present disclosure pertains.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments in which those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains may easily implement the present disclosure will be described in detail. However, in description of the contents of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related widely known function or configuration may make the subject matter of the present disclosure unclear, the detailed description will be omitted and a description will be made in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIGS. 1A to 3C illustrate a table tennis racket including a thumb support part that is a first support part according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
FIGS. 1A and 1B are a plan view and a cross-sectional view of the table tennis racket including the thumb support part according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The table tennis racket according to the present embodiment may include a blade 110, a handle 120, and a thumb support part 130.
The thumb support part 130 may be formed so that at least a portion of a thumb contact part of an upper surface of the blade 110 protrudes upward from a flat surface of the blade 110.
The thumb support part 130 has a three-dimensional protrusion part having a predetermined width and height with respect to the flat surface of the blade 110, and when a thumb of a user is in contact with the thumb support part 130, the thumb support part 130 reduces the slipping of a finger or a shaking of the racket and compensates for difficulties in adjusting an angle of the racket so that a user may grip the racket with a stable and strong gripping force without applying an unnecessary force to a hand gripping the racket.
In more detail, the thumb support part 130 is formed in the thumb contact part, and the protrusion part having a width, a height, and an angle at which the thumb support part 130 may be stably supported so that the thumb does not slide and does not have difficulty in adjusting the angle of the racket. Thus, as the thumb support part 130 is pushed or hung and gripped, the sliding of the thumb and the shaking of the racket are prevented, natural adjustment of the angle of the racket is performed when a posture of the table tennis racket is switched to a forehand or a backhand, which is the biggest error of the Chinese-type penholder, and the thumb support part 130 is directly or indirectly involved in almost all of the angle change of the racket.
Further, a cut stroke may be effectively performed using an outer edge portion of the thumb support part 130 protruding highly from the flat surface of the blade 110.
FIGS. 2A and 2B are a perspective view and an example of use of the table tennis racket including the thumb support part according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
FIG. 2A is a perspective view of the table tennis racket including the thumb support part 130.
Referring to FIG. 2A, the thumb support part 130 may have a shape protruding upward form the flat surface of the blade 110 from one surface of the thumb contact part to an outer boundary of the other surface of the thumb contact part on a side of the handle 120.
In the table tennis racket including the thumb support part 130, when a surface having a thickness that is increased by further adding the thumb support part 130 protruding from the flat surface of the blade 110 to the thickness of the existing blade 110 is used, a range of a degree of pushing the thumb support part 130 is increased, the angle can be adjusted at a wider range, and thus the racket can be easily controlled.

Referring to FIG. 3C, the handle 120 and the thumb support part 130 are spaced apart from each other to have a groove 136, support a bottom surface or inner surface of the thumb, may be pushed using the thumb when a user performs a forehand stroke or a stroke using a rear surface (a back surface) of the racket, and thus can achieve a more stable and stronger gripping force.
FIGS. 4A to 6B illustrate a table tennis racket including an index finger support that is a second support part according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
FIGS. 4A and 4B are a plan view and a cross-sectional view of the table tennis racket including the index finger support part according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
The table tennis racket according to the present embodiment may include the blade 110, the handle 120, and an index finger support part 140.
The index finger support part 140 may be formed so that at least a portion of an index finger contact part of the upper surface of the blade 110 protrudes upward from the flat surface of the blade 110.
The index finger support part 140 has a three-dimensional protrusion part having a predetermined width and height with respect to the flat surface of the blade 110, and when an index finger of a user is in contact with the index finger support part 140, the index finger support part 140 reduces the sliding of the finger or the shaking of the racket and compensates for difficulties in adjusting the angle of the racket so that a user may grip the racket with a stable and strong gripping force without applying an unnecessary force to the hand gripping the racket.
In little more detail, the index finger support part 140 is formed in the index finger contact part that is relatively widened by an increased width compared to a Japanese-type penholder racket so that a user may grip the handle 120 more widely to a side surface. The protrusion part having a width, a height, and an angle at which the index finger may be stably supported so as not to slide or lean to a center of the handle 120 is formed, and the sliding of the index finger and the shaking of the racket are prevented as a user pulls or catches and grips the protrusion part. Even when a backhand technique is performed using a back surface that is a rear surface of the racket or even when the backhand technique is performed in a backhand gripping posture of the Japanese-type penholder, that is, using a front surface of the racket, the racket can be stably supported, a strong gripping force is provided, and thus a strong rotational force and speed can be generated at a moment of impact.
Further, a burden of the index finger due to interference of the flat surface of the blade 110 is reduced to alleviate a pain of the index finger and smoothly change the angle of the racket, so that a user can easily perform attacks such as pushes as well as quickly and comfortably respond to an opponent's attack using the rear surface of the racket.
FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view of the table tennis racket including the index finger support part according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
