DE10022298A1 - Handle for racquet with stringed striking surface - Google Patents

Abstract

Handle (2) is shaped non-symmetrically along its longitudinal axis with the striking face and/or perpendicular to the axis.

Description

The invention relates to (ball) rackets, in particular Tennis squash and badminton rackets with one, one net-like formed on crossing tensioning strings Face.

Grips of such clubs are available in different Strengths and shapes made. To their longitudinal axes are these handles are symmetrical in shape.

Disadvantage of this prior art is that most Players in one-handed backhand with normal grabbed the angle of inclination of the face at the meeting point cannot control. Even with the strongest pressure Hand on the handle, the wrist remains agile, one the result is a high error rate.

For this reason, many players give way to the Middle grip off (backhand slise).

The second emergency solution is the two-handed backhand. Handle technically, the two-handed backhand is (for Example for right-handers) a forehand with the left, and the left hand simultaneously takes control of the Inclination angle of the face.

This type of stroke is not for everyone, it limits the freedom of movement is strong and is correct one-handed backhand far inferior.  

The invention has for its object a handle create, which makes it possible, in addition to the forehand and the middle handle, even the back handle with one hand to grasp, with automatic locking of the wrist.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the handle asymmetrical to its longitudinal axis to shape.

The handle is preferably horizontal to its longitudinal axis Face and to its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the stroke surface of the racket asymmetrically shaped.

This improves the forehand and middle grip, but in particular a safe one-handed backhand grip with the thumb on. (Locks wrist rotation.) Furthermore, the asymmetrical shape of the handle dislodges the Meeting point of the backhand advantageous to the player. Execution conditions for left or right-handers, as well as in various Strengths are the logical consequence.

The invention is exemplified below with reference described on a drawing in which

Fig. 1 shows schematically a tennis racket in the top view.

Fig. 2 shows schematically a tennis racket in the side view.

Fig. 3 shows schematically the handle in the side view.

Fig. 4 shows schematically the handle in side view ( compared to Fig. 3).

Fig. 5 shows schematically the handle in plan view.

Fig. 6 shows schematically the handle in the bottom view (compared to Fig. 5).

In Fig. 1, a tennis racket 1 with handle 2 is shown schematically with the longitudinal axis 3 perpendicular to the striking surface. The curved shape of the handle supports the forehand grip. (Spread open index finger locks the wrist.)

Lowered pad 5 ( Fig. 3 + 5) for ring and little fingers, extreme palm rest 5 a ( Fig. 6) ensure a safe grip.

Pulled out thumb ball pad 6 c ( Fig. 5), wide Dau menauflage 6 b ( Fig. 5) and raised pad 6 ( Fig. 4 + 5) of the little finger distinguish the middle handle. The curved handle, the ball of the thumb pad 6 c ( Fig. 5) ("fills the hand"), the down and down to the axis 3 support 7 ( Fig. 4 + 5) for ring and little fingers, large to the axis 3 retracted palm rest 7 a ( FIG. 3 + 5) and the extremely large thumb rest 7 b ( FIG. 4 + 5) drawn in to the axis 4 enable a safe one-handed back grip with the thumb on.

The in the above description, in the drawing as well as features of the Erfin disclosed in the claims can be used individually or in any combination tion for the implementation of the invention in their ver different embodiments may be essential.
