Abstract

Device for warming up tennis movements. The invention relates to a device for practicing a warm-up of the arm, wrist, hand outside or on a tennis court with a feeling of the ball bouncing against these edges. It consists of a racket (1) having a specific string plan (2) in which is installed by segmentations a modified tennis ball (3) as well as an elastic cable (4) connecting them which allows specificities of 'exercises. The device according to the invention is intended for warming up and for the fluidity of movement relating to racquet sports, more particularly tennis.

Description

Tennis racket for fluidity and warm-up.

The present invention relates to a warm-up device in the field of racket sports.

obtained by modifying dedicated Tennis equipment (racket, string, ball) allowing the user to warm up the arms, wrists and hands in a fun and autonomous way.

The dedicated equipment available (racket, ball, string) is not or only slightly focused on warming up but more on game actions with a partner.

The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. In fact, according to a first characteristic, it comprises an embedding of the ball in the sieve of the racquet obtained by modifying the string plane and by segmenting the ball as well as by setting up elastic resistance forces, thus making it possible to all interconnected.
According to particular embodiments:
- an elastic resistance cable to call (CE) can be anchored from the embedded ball to the racket following the ball anchor point to call (PA B) and the racket anchor point to call (PA R)
- the axis and the holes for anchoring the ball (PA B) and the racket (PA R) can be provided inclined with respect to the string plane
- the segmentation of the ball can include friction parts on the string making it more stable (SEG1, SEG2).
- by its location and initial installation due to resistance: the ball is held stable and positioned close to the center of gravity of the racket making it more manageable.
- the frame of the sieve comprising edges for abutment and rebounds allows the ball to enshrine a high rebound (RH) and a low rebound (RB), also allows the ball following action of force exerted on it (fR) a rectilinear movement of ascent as well as repositioning obtained by return of the elastic resistance (CE) opposed anchored on racket (PA R). this movement is then called rectilinear movement (MR).

Claims (7)

Racket for warming up, handling and fluidity of gestures in a racket sport, in particular tennis, comprising a frame, a racket head made by stringing, and a ball embedded via the stringing, to which the sensations of ball rebound embedded in the frame of the racket provide a feeling of hitting the ball. Racket according to Claim 1, characterized in that the ball is segmented in the middle into two sections and is embedded via the string in the screen of the racket. Racket according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the ball is connected to the racket by an elastic resistance cable. Racket according to Claim 3, characterized in that the displacement of the embedded ball moves according to a rectilinear movement obtained by the stringing of the rising cords of the screen. Device according to Claim 3 or Claim 4, characterized in that the frame of the racket has edges against which the embedded ball comes to a low stop in the rest position by the action of the elastic resistance cable, to a high stop under the action of a force applied to the racket. Racket according to Claim 2, characterized in that the segmentation of the embedded ball comprises friction parts on the string making it more stable. Racket according to Claim 3, characterized in that it comprises an elastic resistance cable, anchored in the ball embedded in the ball anchor point, and anchored to the racket in a racket anchor point, so as to position the ball stable and close to the racket's center of gravity.
