It should be noted that the upward direction and the downward direction in FIG. 7 are different from the direction shown in FIG. 1 describing the racket 1 because they are the upward direction and the downward direction when swinging out the racket.
- the racket 1 When swinging back the racket 1 and hitting the ball B, the racket 1 is usually swung out so that the ball B is rubbed (moving the racket upward from below). As described above, when the ball B is rotated in the forward direction, a pressure difference is generated between the upper side and the lower side of the ball B. When the ball B is rotating in the forward direction, the atmospheric pressure below the ball B is lower than that above the ball B, so the ball B is more likely to drop than when no rotation is applied.

- the movement amount in the width direction of the vertical string 121 of the racket 1 becomes larger than that of a general racket.
- the vertical string 121 moves in the width direction, the vertical string 121 moves using the base side opening 4111c side as a fulcrum. Therefore, since the vertical string 121 returns to the original position immediately after moving in the width direction, a larger amount of rotation is given to the ball.
- the movable range of the vertical string 121 can be expanded, so that the number of rotations of the hit ball can be increased.
- the racket 1 to which the yoke grommet 42 is attached is attached.
- the racket 1 to which the bumper grommet 41 is attached since the diameter of the front end side opening 4111b and the diameter of the base side side opening 4111c are the same in the thickness direction of the racket 1, The string 121 can be moved along the direction in which the plurality of tube portions 411 are arranged. The same applies to the racket 1 to which the yoke grommet 42 is attached.
- the diameter of the base side opening 4111c is such that one vertical string 12 can be inserted, so the base side opening 4111c side
- the vertical string 121 can be moved in the width direction of the racket 1 with the first straight portion 4111d as a fulcrum. Therefore, the vertical string 121 can be returned to the original position after moving.
- the racket 1 to which the yoke grommet 42 is attached is attached.
- the string 121 temporarily moves. In other words, since the string 12 has slidably moved in the long hole, it is difficult to return to the original position (the string is in a state where the string has moved to one side). On the other hand, when the grommet of this embodiment is used, even if the string once moves due to contact with the ball, it returns immediately to the original position.
- the horizontal string 122 when contacting the ball B, the horizontal string 122 is moved largely in the racket thickness direction, and then moved to the original position. Can do.
- the repulsive force of the ball B with respect to the racket 1 increases, since the amount of rotation in the forward direction can be applied to the ball B more by the above configuration, the ball can be appropriately dropped into the opponent's court. .
- the first cylindrical portion 4311 is positioned slightly on the front end side and the rear end side from the center.
- the rotation amount of the ball is measured by using a racket in which only the side grommet adopts all the communication holes of the cylindrical portion as round holes.
- the amount of rotation was 105. That is, even when only the bumper grommets 41 and the yoke grommets 42 of the present embodiment are used, a 5% increase in the rotation amount is obtained.
- the bumper grommet 41 and the yoke grommet 42 are both used. However, even if either one is used, the number of rotations of the hit ball can be increased for the same reason as described above.
- the cylindrical portion 4311 of the side grommet 43 has a communication hole extending in the racket thickness direction.
- the side grommet 43 does not have such a communication hole, and the bumper grommet 41 and the yoke grommet. Due to the effect of 42, the number of rotations of the hit ball can be increased.
- the grommet 40 is attached to the frame 11, but the string may be directly stretched on the frame 11 without using the grommet 40.
- the through hole in the frame of the racket has an outer peripheral surface side opening on the outer peripheral surface side of the frame and an inner peripheral surface side opening on the inner peripheral surface side of the frame.
- the inner peripheral side opening of at least a part of the through holes is wider in the direction in which the plurality of through holes are arranged than the outer peripheral side opening.
- the inner circumferential side opening is wider than the outer circumferential side opening in the direction in which a plurality of cylindrical portions are arranged, so that when the ball is rubbed, the vertical string is moved more in the crossing direction. It becomes easy. Moreover, since the vertical string moves using the outer peripheral side opening side as a fulcrum, immediately after moving in the crossing direction, the vertical string returns to the original position while contacting the ball. Thereby, the amount of movement of the vertical string while in contact with the ball can be increased as compared with a general racket. Since the number of rotations of the hit ball increases corresponding to the amount of movement of the string while in contact with the ball, the number of rotations of the hit ball can be increased according to the racket.
- a tennis racket is used as an example of the racket according to the present embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- this embodiment may be applied to a squash racket, a badminton racket, or the like.
- the racket 1 in which the string 12 is stretched in the frame 11 is exemplified as the racket.
- the racket is not limited to this, and a racket in which the string 12 is not stretched may be used.

Description
グリップと、
内周面から外周面まで貫通する貫通孔が複数設けられた環状のフレームと、
前記グリップと前記フレームを連結するシャフトと、
前記フレームの前記外周面に取り付けられるグロメットであって、前記フレームに設けられた複数の前記貫通孔にそれぞれ挿通される複数の筒部と、当該複数の筒部を連結する基底部と、を備えるグロメットと、
を有するラケットであって、
前記筒部は、前記基底部側の基底部側開口と、前記貫通孔内に挿通される側の先端側開口と、を連通する連通孔を有し、
前記ラケットの長手方向に沿う方向に張られるストリングが挿通される前記複数の筒部のうち、少なくとも一部の筒部の前記先端側開口は前記基底部側開口よりも前記複数の筒部が並ぶ方向に拡がることを特徴とするラケットである。
本明細書及び図面の記載により、少なくとも、以下の事項が明らかとなる。
すなわち、グリップと、
内周面から外周面まで貫通する貫通孔が複数設けられた環状のフレームと、
前記グリップと前記フレームを連結するシャフトと、
前記フレームの前記外周面に取り付けられるグロメットであって、前記フレームに設けられた複数の前記貫通孔にそれぞれ挿通される複数の筒部と、当該複数の筒部を連結する基底部と、を備えるグロメットと、
を有するラケットであって、
前記筒部は、前記基底部側の基底部側開口と、前記貫通孔内に挿通される側の先端側開口と、を連通する連通孔を有し、
前記ラケットの長手方向に沿う方向に張られるストリングが挿通される前記複数の筒部のうち、少なくとも一部の筒部の前記先端側開口は前記基底部側開口よりも前記複数の筒部が並ぶ方向に広いことを特徴とするラケットである。
このようなラケットによれば、グロメットの先端側開口が基底部側開口よりも複数の筒部が並ぶ方向に広いので、ボールをこすり上げるように打った場合に、ラケットの長手方向に沿う方向に張られるストリング(以下、縦ストリングという)を長手方向と交差する方向(以下、交差方向)へとより大きく移動させやすくなる。また、縦ストリングは、基底部側開口側を支点として移動するため、交差方向に移動した直後にボールと接触しながら元の位置へと戻る。これにより、ボールと接触している間の縦ストリングの移動量を一般的なラケットと比較して大きくすることができる。打球の回転数は、ボールに接触している間のストリングの移動量に対応して大きくなるため、上記ラケットによれば、打球の回転数を高めることができる。
このようにすることで、上記グロメットの少なくとも一部の筒部に縦ストリングを張ることができる。そして、縦ストリングの移動量を多くして、打球の回転数を高めることができる。
このようにすることで、複数の筒部が並ぶ方向に先端側開口を基底部側開口よりも広くすることができる。
このようにすることで、グロメットをラケットに取り付けたときに、ラケットの厚み方向については、基底部側開口の径と先端側開口の径とを等しくすることができるので、縦ストリングを複数の筒部が並ぶ方向に沿って移動させることができる。
このようにすることで、ボールと接触したときにおいて、交差方向に沿う方向に張られるストリング(以下、横ストリングという)をラケットの厚み方向に移動させやすくすることができる。これにより、ラケットに対するボールの反発力が高まるが、上記のような構成によりボールの前方方向の回転数を高めることができるので、ボールを適切に相手コート内に落下させることができる。
すなわち、グリップと、
内周面から外周面まで貫通する貫通孔が複数設けられた環状のフレームと、
前記グリップと前記フレームを連結するシャフトと、
を有するラケットであって、
前記貫通孔は、前記外周面側の外周面側開口と、前記内周面側の内周面側開口と、を有し、
前記ラケットの長手方向に沿う方向に張られるストリングが挿通される前記複数の貫通孔のうち、少なくとも一部の貫通孔の前記内周側開口は前記外周側開口よりも前記複数の貫通孔が並ぶ方向に広いことを特徴とするラケットである。
このようなラケットによれば、内周側開口が外周側開口よりも複数の筒部が並ぶ方向に広いので、ボールをこすり上げるように打った場合に、縦ストリングを交差方向へとより大きく移動させやすくなる。また、縦ストリングは、外周側開口側を支点として移動するため、交差方向に移動した直後にボールと接触しながら元の位置へと戻る。これにより、ボールと接触している間の縦ストリングの移動量を一般的なラケットと比較して大きくすることができる。打球の回転数は、ボールに接触している間のストリングの移動量に対応して大きくなるため、上記ラケットによれば、打球の回転数を高めることができる。
すなわち、グリップと、内周面から外周面まで貫通する貫通孔が複数設けられた環状のフレームと、前記グリップと前記フレームを連結するシャフトと、を有するラケットに取り付けられるグロメットであって、
前記フレームに設けられた複数の前記貫通孔にそれぞれ挿通される複数の筒部と、当該複数の筒部を連結する基底部と、を備え、
前記筒部は、前記基底部側の基底部側開口と、前記貫通孔内に挿通される側の先端側開口と、を連通する連通孔を有し、
前記ラケットの長手方向に沿う方向に張られるストリングが挿通される前記複数の筒部のうち、少なくとも一部の筒部の前記先端側開口は前記基底部側開口よりも前記複数の筒部が並ぶ方向に広いことを特徴とするグロメットである。
このようなグロメットによれば、グロメットの先端側開口が基底部側開口よりも複数の筒部が並ぶ方向に広いので、ボールをこすり上げるように打った場合に、縦ストリングを交差方向へとより大きく移動させやすくなる。また、縦ストリングは、基底部側開口側を支点として移動するため、交差方向に移動した直後にボールと接触しながら元の位置へと戻る。これにより、ボールと接触している間の縦ストリングの移動量を一般的なグロメットと比較して大きくすることができる。打球の回転数は、ボールに接触している間のストリングの移動量に対応して大きくなるため、上記グロメットによれば、打球の回転数を高めることができる。
以下、テニス用ラケットを例に挙げて実施形態を説明する。
図3は、フレーム11に取り付けられる各グロメットの説明図である。本実施形態のラケット1では、図3に示されるように、フレーム11の外周面11aに、バンパーグロメット41とヨークグロメット42とサイドグロメット43が取り付けられる。バンパーグロメット41、ヨークグロメット42、および、サイドグロメット43を介してフレーム11にストリング12を張設することで、後述する効果の他、ストリング12を保護したり、打球時の振動を減衰させたりすることもできる。
上記の実施形態は、本発明の理解を容易にするためのものであり、本発明を限定して解釈するためのものではない。本発明は、その趣旨を逸脱することなく、変更、改良され得るとともに、本発明にはその等価物が含まれるのはいうまでもない。
