Description

DESCRIPTION

Customizable grip for grips

The field of application of the present invention is part of the elements to improve the grip of the handles of paddle tennis rackets and similar sports, where they are used.

state of the art

Currently there are grip systems on the market for handles made of various materials, the most common being polyurethane tapes, with a foam base wrapped around the handle to offer comfort and grip to the user. Another example of improving grip is the well-known Hesacore brand. Said element, due to its composition, provides accommodation for the user's fingers and phalanges, which reduces the force and cushions the impact of a ball continuously.

Similar systems are those provided in patent documents ES1256105U and ES1292945U where it is tried to improve grip by means of an anti-vibration gel grip and an adjustable grip, both cylindrical in shape and made of flexible material and gel to provide vibration reduction.

The problem with these systems is that they are not customizable in the handle, since when installed they cannot be modified. Its installation is complex and it also considerably increases its weight in the handle of the shovel.

Description of the invention

The customizable grip for handles object of this invention is characterized by its improvements in several aspects in relation to what currently exists.

This grip is made up of individual pieces that are fixed to the handle of the racket/shovel and the like by means of a self-adhesive at its base and which have a certain thickness. As it can be placed individually, its configuration can be unique and independent for each user, although it can also be placed in the default way as indicated in the drawings in figure 4.

Once these pieces are placed on the handle and then put an overgrip on said handle, a series of different reliefs and grooves are created which make the handle adapt much better to the hand and thus improve its grip.

The installation of this grip is super simple since it consists of taking off the pieces from the base in which they are attached and later sticking them on the handle.

Another of the characteristics of this grip is the reduction of its weight, compared to other grips on the market, due to the fact that the individual elements do not occupy the entire area of the handle, leaving areas uncovered.

The design of this grip can be made in a square or other way. This is made up of two layers: the first layer, which can be made of materials such as foam base, silicone or others, and the second layer with self-adhesive material.

Finally, it considerably reduces the transmission of vibrations from the racket and/or racket after hitting the ball, making these vibrations much lower and thus preventing them from being transmitted from the hand to the user's elbow and avoiding injuries to the elbow. player's elbow, this being the most common injury.

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, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented has been following:

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

Figure 2. Shows in 3D the shape of the part (1) of the invention.

Figure 3. Shows in 3D the shape of the part (2) of the invention.

Figure 4. Shows the complete installation in elevation view of the device of the invention in the handle after its application

Preferred embodiment of the invention

Figure 1 is described below, which is formed by a series of self-adhesive pieces (1 and 2) that are all on a square base (3), which are detached and adhere to the handle of the shovel.

Figure 2 describes the part (1) showing two layers: one, the self-adhesive base (4) and two, the low-density gel manufacturing material (5).

In figure 3, the piece (2) is described, having the same characteristics as the piece (1) but in a different way so that it adapts to the whole.

And figure 4 illustrates the handle of a paddle tennis racket or similar, in elevation view, with the final placement of the set of pieces (1) and (2) around the handle, the pieces being able to be repositioned for optimal placement by the user or a total withdrawal.

Claims (2)

1. Customizable gel grip for shovel, racket and similar grips, characterized by being made up of individual pieces of gel on the upper part with a lower self-adhesive layer that are placed on the handle of the shovel and/or racket independently and one in one and all adaptable since the pieces are individual for the personalized grip of each person. 2. Customizable gel grip for handles of shovels, rackets and the like, characterized according to claim 1, because due to the fact that the pieces are placed independently, separated from each other, they leave grooves between them, which reduces the weight of the handle and avoids vibrations.
