Definitions
- the invention relates to a racket stringing system, for example tennis rackets, as well as to its use for stringing rackets by means of a prefabricated interlacing and a reusable fastening system.
- the rackets have so far been strung using one or two strings, one forming the horizontal string, the other the vertical string.
- Each string must be passed through a number of holes in the racket frame.
- the rope must be stretched and provisionally fixed, to allow passage in the opposite direction through the next hole.
- the device according to the invention has the advantage of being able to be used on any type of racket having for each string of individual holes.
- the fixing device is reusable and easier to use. Many types of rackets of different materials, synthetic or metallic, can be fitted with the binding device without making modifications to the existing models.
- the object of the present invention is to rationalize the method of stringing rackets and which is apparent from the characterizing part of claims 1, 7 and 10.
- FIG. 1 represents an example of the interlacing 1 of strings according to the invention.
- the strings 2 are interlaced at right angles.
- the distance 3 between the strings varies during tension and adapts to the distances between the holes of the racket.
- FIG. 2 represents the frame 4 of a tennis racket during the stringing.
- the intertwining of the strings was placed on the frame, the ends 5 of the strings 2 extending beyond the frame used to tension and fix them.
- the strings 6 are already fixed.
- Intertwining 1 of the strings can be protected during shipping, storage and use in different ways. It can, for example, be placed between two sheets of plastic which can adhere together either by hot pressing, or by the vacuum packaging process, or by gluing, for example using a self-adhesive sheet. In this way, the strings of the interlacing are fixed in their places and cannot move relative to each other. You can also fix the strings of the interlacing using a temporarily acting glue.
- the interlacing is placed on the frame and the individual strings strung one after the other in the holes of the binding device.
- Each rope is stretched to the desired tension and fixed at both ends by the fixing device described below. In this way, it is no longer necessary to intertwine the strings when stringing and to thread the entire length of a string (about llm) through each hole.
- the working time is considerably shortened. During repairs, a defective rope can be changed without losing tension on the assembly.
- the device comprises the first part 9, the upper part 11 of which is formed by two frustoconical half-shells, separated by the slot 15, which surround the rope 7 at the time of the rope.
- the inner surface 12 of these half-shells is provided with a screw pitch in order to increase the grip with the rope.
- the part 9 slides in the second part 10 whose external profile is adapted to the shape of the frame 4.
- the hole 13 is conical.
- the piece 9 is placed in the piece 10 and all slipped into a hole in the frame.
- the rope is slid from the inside to the outside of the frame, then stretched while keeping the fixing device in contact with the frame.
- the part 9 operates like a jaw.
- the two half-shells are forced against the rope by the effect of the part 9 wedged against the part 10.
- the fixing system opens and can be removed and reused.
- the parts of the fastening system can be made of light metal, such as aluminum, or of synthetic material.
- a small tube of elastic material 14 can be placed at the bottom of the part 9, between the latter and the hole in the frame. This tube keeps the fixing system in place in the hole, which can be advantageous when a racket is equipped with this system in the factory and must be shipped without the fixing system being lost. On the other hand this tube protects the rope at the outlet of the fastening system.
