Description

DESCRIPCIÓN  DESCRIPTION
RAQUETA PARA LA PRÁCTICA DE DEPORTES Sector de la técnica RACKET FOR SPORTS PRACTICE Technical sector
La presente invención está relacionada con los deportes de raqueta tal como tenis, squash, bádminton o similares, proponiendo una raqueta mejorada que permite una mejor sujeción y agarre de la misma durante el juego, permitiendo un mayor control del golpeo a velocidades elevadas. The present invention is related to racket sports such as tennis, squash, badminton or the like, proposing an improved racket that allows a better grip and grip of it during the game, allowing greater control of hitting at high speeds.
Estado de la técnica State of the art
Como es sabido, las raquetas convencionales de tenis o similares comprenden una estructura formada por una empuñadura, un cuello o garganta y una cabeza. La empuñadura tiene una sección transversal hexagonal que se extiende desde su extremo libre hasta el cuello o garganta, pudiendo variar su longitud en función del tipo de raqueta. As is known, conventional tennis rackets or the like comprise a structure formed by a handle, a neck or throat and a head. The handle has a hexagonal cross section that extends from its free end to the neck or throat, and its length can vary depending on the type of racket.
La empuñadura es el punto de contacto entre el jugador y la raqueta, convirtiéndose ésta en una prolongación del brazo del jugador. Esto cobra gran importancia, ya que va a repercutir en la manera de impactar a la bola y en las sensaciones a la hora de golpearla. The grip is the point of contact between the player and the racket, making it an extension of the player's arm. This becomes very important, since it will have an impact on the way it impacts the ball and the sensations when it comes to hitting it.
Golpear la bola con la mayor velocidad posible es muy ventajoso, sin embargo, golpear la bola a gran velocidad implica tener mayor control sobre la trayectoria que sigue la raqueta durante todo el movimiento de golpeo. Ser capaz de golpear la bola a velocidades elevadas teniendo el control sobre la raqueta durante todo el movimiento de golpeo es totalmente necesario para un jugador. Hitting the ball as fast as possible is very advantageous, however, hitting the ball at high speed means having more control over the trajectory of the racket during the entire striking movement. Being able to hit the ball at high speeds while having control over the racket during the entire striking movement is totally necessary for a player.
Las raquetas convencionales, para controlar el golpeo, tienen la empuñadura cubierta por algún tipo de cinta, denominado también grip. Esta cinta permite un mejor agarre de la raqueta, posibilita una mayor adhesión a la raqueta, minimiza el daño sufrido por la mano al golpear la pelota y además sirve como absorbente del sudor generado en las manos. Sin embargo, a pesar de ello, las raquetas convencionales no permiten tener un buen control a velocidades altas de golpeo. Cuando un jugador realiza un golpeo a una velocidad alta, la raqueta tiende a rotar en la mano del jugador debido a la sección transversal hexagonal de la empuñadura. Este movimiento indeseado produce una pérdida de control en el golpeo haciendo que la bola tome una dirección no deseada. Conventional rackets, to control the hit, have the grip covered by some type of tape, also called grip. This tape allows a better grip of the racket, allows greater adhesion to the racket, minimizes the damage suffered by the hand when hitting the ball and also serves as a sweat absorber generated in the hands. However, despite this, conventional rackets do not allow good control at high hitting speeds. When a player hits a punch at a high speed, the racket tends to rotate in the player's hand due to the hexagonal cross section of the hilt This unwanted movement causes a loss of control in the hit causing the ball to take an unwanted direction.
Además de la rotación indeseada que sufre la raqueta al golpear la bola a velocidades elevadas, dependiendo del golpe que se realice, las raquetas también tienden a moverse longitudinalmente en las manos del jugador. Este movimiento longitudinal, también indeseado, produce una pérdida de control en el golpeo, pudiendo incluso hacer que la raqueta escape de las manos del jugador. Objeto de la invención In addition to the unwanted rotation suffered by the racket when hitting the ball at high speeds, depending on the blow that is made, the rackets also tend to move longitudinally in the player's hands. This longitudinal movement, also unwanted, produces a loss of control in the beating, and can even cause the racket to escape from the player's hands. Object of the invention
De acuerdo con la presente invención se propone una raqueta con una realización estructural mejorada que permite golpear la bola a velocidades elevadas mejorando el control de la raqueta durante todo el movimiento de golpeo. In accordance with the present invention, a racket with an improved structural embodiment is proposed which allows the ball to be hit at high speeds, improving the control of the racket during the entire striking movement.
La raqueta comprende una cabeza con un cordaje, una empuñadura y un cuello localizado entre la cabeza y la empuñadura, en donde la empuñadura tiene una sección transversal con dos caras planas unidas entre sí por unas caras redondeadas. Con esta configuración la raqueta de la invención permite golpear la bola a velocidades elevadas evitando que la empuñadura rote en la mano del jugador, permitiendo así tener un mayor control en el golpeo. The racket comprises a head with a string, a handle and a neck located between the head and the handle, where the handle has a cross section with two flat faces joined together by rounded faces. With this configuration, the racket of the invention allows hitting the ball at high speeds preventing the handle from rotating in the player's hand, thus allowing greater control in the hitting.
Preferentemente las dos caras planas de la empuñadura son paralelas al cordaje. Preferably the two flat faces of the handle are parallel to the rope.
Aún más preferentemente la empuñadura tiene una sección transversal alargada. Even more preferably the handle has an elongated cross section.
Adicionalmente la empuñadura tiene un saliente en su extremo libre que evita que la raqueta se mueva longitudinalmente en la mano del jugador, mejorando así el control del golpeo de la bola para conseguir mayores velocidades de golpeo. Preferentemente el saliente proyecta lateralmente desde una de las caras redondeadas de la empuñadura. Additionally, the handle has a projection at its free end that prevents the racket from moving longitudinally in the player's hand, thus improving the control of the hitting of the ball to achieve higher hitting speeds. Preferably the projection projects laterally from one of the rounded faces of the handle.
La cabeza tiene una porción con una densidad mayor que el resto de la cabeza que permite aumentar la inercia en el golpeo para lograr mayores velocidades. Ventajosamente la porción de la cabeza está situada en el lado opuesto al cuello. Con todo ello así la raqueta de la invención resulta de unas características considerablemente mejoradas que la hacen ventajosa permitiendo un mayor control del golpeo a velocidades elevadas. Descripción de las figuras The head has a portion with a density greater than the rest of the head that allows to increase the inertia in the beating to achieve higher speeds. Advantageously, the head portion is located on the side opposite the neck. With all of this, the racket of the invention results in considerably improved characteristics that make it advantageous allowing greater control of hitting at high speeds. Description of the figures
La figura 1 muestra una vista en perspectiva de un ejemplo de realización de la raqueta de la invención. La figura 2 muestra una vista frontal de la empuñadura de la raqueta de la figura anterior. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the racket of the invention. Figure 2 shows a front view of the racket grip of the previous figure.
La figura 3 muestra una vista frontal de un ejemplo de realización de la empuñadura de la raqueta. Descripción detallada de la invención Figure 3 shows a front view of an exemplary embodiment of the racket handle. Detailed description of the invention
Como se puede ver en el ejemplo de realización de la figura 1 la raqueta de la invención comprende una cabeza (1) con un cordaje (2), una empuñadura (3) y un cuello (4) localizado entre la cabeza (1) y el empuñadura (3). As can be seen in the embodiment of Figure 1, the racket of the invention comprises a head (1) with a rope (2), a handle (3) and a neck (4) located between the head (1) and the handle (3).
La empuñadura (3) tiene una sección transversal con dos caras planas (3.1) unidas entre sí por unas caras redondeadas (3.2). De esta forma cuando se golpea la bola con la raqueta a una velocidad elevada, ésta no realiza un movimiento de rotación indeseado respecto al eje longitudinal de la propia empuñadura (3) en la mano del jugador, con lo que se aumenta el control sobre el golpeo obteniendo mayores velocidades de la bola y/o mayor precisión. The handle (3) has a cross section with two flat faces (3.1) joined together by rounded faces (3.2). In this way when the ball is hit with the racket at a high speed, it does not perform an unwanted rotation movement with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle itself (3) in the player's hand, thereby increasing control over the hitting getting higher ball speeds and / or greater accuracy.
Preferentemente las dos caras planas (3.1) de la empuñadura (3) son paralelas a la sección mayor de la cabeza (1), es decir paralelas al cordaje (2) de la cabeza (1), mientras que las caras redondeadas (3.2) son perpendiculares a la sección mayor de la cabeza (1), es decir perpendiculares al cordaje (2) de la cabeza (1). Preferably the two flat faces (3.1) of the handle (3) are parallel to the larger section of the head (1), that is to say parallel to the cordage (2) of the head (1), while the rounded faces (3.2) they are perpendicular to the major section of the head (1), that is to say perpendicular to the cordage (2) of the head (1).
Como se observa en el la figura 3, se ha previsto que la empuñadura (3) tenga una sección transversal alargada. Así, las caras planas (3.1) tienen una dimensión diferente que las caras redondeadas (3.2) de forma que la empuñadura (4) presenta una forma oblonga que mejora la sujeción. Adicionalmente la empuñadura (3) tiene un saliente (3.3) en su extremo libre opuesto al cuello (4). El saliente (3.3) evita que la raqueta se mueva de manera indeseada longitudinalmente en la mano cuando el jugador realiza determinados golpeos, aumentando así el control sobre el golpeo de la bola. As seen in Figure 3, it is provided that the handle (3) has an elongated cross section. Thus, the flat faces (3.1) have a different dimension than the rounded faces (3.2) so that the handle (4) has an oblong shape that improves the grip. Additionally, the handle (3) has a projection (3.3) at its free end opposite the neck (4). The projection (3.3) prevents the racket from moving undesirably longitudinally in the hand when the player makes certain hits, thereby increasing control over the hitting of the ball.
Preferentemente el saliente (3.3) proyecta lateralmente desde una de las caras redondeadas (3.2) de la empuñadura (3). Preferably the projection (3.3) projects laterally from one of the rounded faces (3.2) of the handle (3).
Se ha previsto que la cabeza (1) de la raqueta disponga de una porción (1.1) que tiene una densidad superior al resto de la cabeza (1), de manera que se permite aumentar la inercia en el golpeo, lo que ayuda al jugador a golpear la bola con mayor control y a mayor velocidad. It is provided that the head (1) of the racket has a portion (1.1) that has a density greater than the rest of the head (1), so that it is possible to increase the inertia in the striking, which helps the player to hit the ball with greater control and faster.
Preferentemente la porción (1.1) de la cabeza (1) se sitúa en el lado opuesto al cuello (4), tal y como se muestra entre las líneas a trazo y punto de la figura 1 , lo que permite aprovechar mejor la inercia generada por la raqueta. Preferably, the portion (1.1) of the head (1) is located on the side opposite the neck (4), as shown between the dashed and dotted lines of Figure 1, which makes it possible to make better use of the inertia generated by the racket.
