A removable grommet for attaching a string to an object, the grommet includes a barrel defining a central channel extending through a first section and a second section of the barrel, the first section being sized to allow the string, but not a knotted portion of the string, to pass through, and the second section being sized to allow the knotted portion of the string to pass through.

A racquet strand clip for fastening a strand to a surface and a method for using the same, comprising a generally rectangular block with a narrow slot cut lengthwise through the block. The slot is cut through the block from top to bottom, and from one end of the block to a point approaching the other end of the block, thus creating an open end and a closed end. In operation, a user threads one end of a strand through a hole in a surface, then pulls the strand taut and slides the end of the strand through the slot within the clip. Upon releasing the end of the strand, the natural elasticity of the strand combined with the narrowness of the slot creates the contact pressure needed to keep the strand from slipping out of the slot, and to keep the clip pressed firmly in place against the surface.

A lacrosse head for use with a lacrosse handle includes a frame element including an arcuate wall, a scoop opposing the arcuate wall, and a pair of opposing sidewalls. The sidewalls generally extend between the arcuate wall and the scoop. The frame element has a socket extending rearwardly therefrom for receipt of a handle therein. The lacrosse head has a plurality of net attachment means formed therein for attachment of lacrosse net thereto. The lacrosse head has a pocket area defined by a lower portion of the arcuate wall, the scoop, and a lower portion of each of the pair of opposing sidewalls. The lacrosse head also has a catching area defined by an upper portion of the arcuate wall, the scoop, and an upper portion of each of the pair of opposing sidewalls. The catching area of the head is larger than the pocket area.
摘要:
The invention is an improved sports racket comprising streamlined transversal strings and streamlined longitudinal strings with surface indentations that permit the strings to lock into each other at the string crossings so the strings do not move with respect to each other and also stay oriented so as to minimize wind resistance during the swinging motion of the sports racket before and after ball contact. The invention includes fixing means for assembly of the strings in the sports racket, said fixing means incorporating a flexible body between the string and the racket frame for the absorption and restitution of part of the ball's kinetic energy during impact with the string to beneficially alter the feel of the strings.
摘要:
A racket and its method of manufacture which racket has three sets of string segments having particular angles among string sets and having certain stringing sequences. Strings and racket frames may be color coded and the frame may carry stringing instructions. Stringing is aided by use of a stringing clamp.

A game racket includes an annular frame and a tube secured to the annular frame. An annular rib is engaged in the annular frame, and a network has a peripheral portion engaged with the annular rib and engaged in the annular frame for allowing the network to be secured to the annular frame without threading operation. The game racket may thus be made quickly and the manufacturing cost may thus be greatly decreased. The annular rib has one or more holes for engaging with the plastic material and for allowing the annular rib to be solidly secured in the annular frame.

A racket for tennis or squash has a frame extending around a generally planar head area and a plurality of holes are provided therein so as to extend in the plane of the area and open into the latter. A plurality of strings are arranged in the area and connectors are provided for securing the ends of the strings in respective corresponding holes. The connector structure includes a string connector assemblage for each end of each string. Each string connector assemblage includes a coupling element rigidly secured to each end of a string and each coupling element includes a shoulder surface facing away from the end where the coupling element is secured and toward the other end of the string. Each connector assemblage also includes a locating element in the corresponding hole and having an abutment surface facing away from the area. The string and the coupling element are adapted to be pushed into the corresponding hole together so that the surfaces become engaged to hold the coupling element and the string in a predetermined string tensioning position relative to the racket frame.
摘要:
A stringing system for a racket consisting of two elements, a prewoven net of individual strings and a two piece fixing device, acting as a string clamp in the string hole of a racket frame under the string's own tension. A first member of the fixing device is tubular in shape and is designed to extend through the interior of the racket frame hole. Its upper portion extends outward from the frame hole and has a slot which separates it into two half shells. A second member of the fixing device is placed over the frame hole and is located entirely exteriorly of the hole. The exterior surface of the second member is adapted to the profile of the racket frame. During stringing of the racket, the first member is placed inside the second member and into the frame hole. The string is passed through the hole in the first member, such that when the first member slides into the second member, its two half shells are pressed together around the string to hold the string in place when under tension.
摘要:
A tennis racket having adjustable, resilient means between the handle and the head for reducing arm and elbow shock to the user. The netting is formed by individual lengths of string each having its ends connected to the frame by ferrules. Each string is tensioned in the frame by hand-operated torsion pliers adapted to adjust the tension of the string as it is connected to the frame.
摘要:
A sports racquet including a frame, a string bed, and at least one cantilevered member. The frame includes a head portion coupled to a handle portion. The head portion includes a distal region, first and second side regions, and a proximal region. A string bed is formed of a plurality of cross string segments and a plurality of main string segments. The cantilevered member has a first section coupled to one of the regions, such that at least one point on the first section remains substantially fixed in relation to the region to which the first section is coupled, and a second section that is deflectable relative to the region to which the first section is coupled. At least one of the string segments is operably engaged with the member, such that when a ball impacts the string segment, the second section deflects inward toward the string bed.
