Description

DESCRIPTION

GRIP FOR GRIPS OF PADEL RACKETS OR TENNIS RACKETS

TECHNICAL SECTOR

PADEL RACKETS - TENNIS RACKETS

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In sports played with rackets (tennis, paddle tennis, badminton, etc.) the handles are usually covered with protective tape called grip.

At present, it is quite common to use tapes of various materials as a grip for padel or tennis racket handles, the most common being polyurethane, with a foamed base and self-adhesive. These straps wrap around the handle of paddle tennis rackets or tennis rackets to offer comfort and grip to the user.

The main function of the grips is to help absorb sweat, improve grip and dampen vibrations from impacts with the ball. However, since they are generally thin tapes, the improvement in grip comfort and vibration absorption are not excessively relevant.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

This new type of self-adhesive grip made from a double density gel provides improvements to the registered utility model 202031596 developed by the same company.

This invention, customizable through the use of pigments, considerably increases the comfort of the final user of the blade/racket, since the design with different shapes and the low density of the gel ridges give the player a high sensation of comfort in the fixation of the racket/racket to the hand and increase the anti-slip sensation.

The transmission of racket/racquet vibrations is considerably reduced produced after hitting the ball, notably reducing the possibility of these vibrations being transmitted from the hand to the elbow and reducing the possibility of injury to the player's elbow.

To the innovative features of the previous model, a design has been added to the gel layer that, once placed on the racket handle, allows the player to know the orientation of the racket/racket without having to look at it.

The differentiation of the gel ridges with different shapes allows the player to know by touch how the blade/racket is oriented without having to look away from the playing court.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented: Next:

Figure 1 - Shows an elevation view of the device of the invention before its application, that is, extended.

Figure 2 - Shows a side profile view of the device of the invention before its application.

Figure 3 - Shows a front profile view of the device of the invention before its application.

Figure 4 - Shows an elevation view of a paddle/racket handle on which the initial phase of the application of the device of the invention is shown.

Figure 6 - Shows an elevation view of a paddle/racket handle on which the final appearance of the device of the invention is shown once applied.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The aforementioned drawings show a preferred embodiment of the invention for padel racket and tennis racket handles.

As can be seen in the figures, the device is made up of a rectangular section which, in turn, consists of an upper layer (1) made up of elements arranged in different distributions (ridges) made of a low-density gel (+/- 10-15 shore) that provides comfort and absorbs a very considerable part of the vibrations from the impact of the racket/racket with the ball, a base layer of gel (2) with a medium consistency (+/- 25-30 shore) and a self-adhesive film (3).

The shore is a unit of measurement of the elastic hardness of materials. It is measured using an instrument called a durometer that measures the penetration of a tip into the material. The scale used is shore 00.

The fixing of the invention to the handle of the racket/racket is done by means of the self-adhesive film (3), which allows it to be repositioned for optimal placement or removed if the user so wishes.

Claims (4)

1. Grip for padel racket or tennis racket handles characterized by being made up of two layers of double-density gel and a self-adhesive layer, which is wrapped in a single turn around the handle of the racket/racket. 2. Grip for padel racket or tennis racket handles characterized according to claim 1, because the upper layer has a design with different shapes that increases the anti-slip sensation in the hand when gripping the racket or racket. 3. Grip for padel racket or tennis racket handles characterized according to claim 1, for being customizable by using pigments. 4. Grip for padel racket or tennis racket handles characterized according to claim 1, because the distribution of its pattern allows the position/orientation of the racket to be identified by touch.
