Abstract

The invention relates to a tensioning element intended to be disposed between a racket and a wristband, essentially comprising an accessory consisting of three parts, namely: a wristband, an elastic extension piece and a Velcro means. The lower end of the Velcro means is joined to the elastic extension piece which is, in turn, attached to the wristband. The invention is used to improve the technical characteristics of tennis. The invention provides the following benefits: (a) the element absorbs and eliminates vibration generated with each shot; (b) the correct tension diminishes the weight of the racket; (c) the binding effect enables more powerful shots to be made; and (d) the improved hold on the racket provides increased control. The accessory is designed as a tool that provides additional advantages based on the physical principles of the elastic extension piece.

Description

"TENSOR ENTRE RAQUETA Y MUÑEQUERA" "TENSOR BETWEEN RACKET AND WRISTBAND"

ANTECEDENTESBACKGROUND

En la actualidad no existe un producto similar, se trata de combinar una banda elástica entre las cuerdas de la raqueta y fijarla en una muñequear, la idea es que funcione como una extensión del tendón del propio brazo, amortiguando los impactos entre raqueta y brazo. También aprovechar las características de la liga, utilizar la tensión para aumentar la aceleración y potencia. Esta estructura la considero como un accesorio que sirve para mejorar algunas características técnicas. Por medio de la presente solicitud se pretende proteger este accesorio que esta combinado de tres elementos, que ensamblados adecuadamente trabajan eficientemente.At present there is no similar product, it is about combining an elastic band between the strings of the racket and fixing it on a wristband, the idea is that it works as an extension of the tendon of the arm itself, cushioning the impacts between racket and arm. Also take advantage of the characteristics of the league, use tension to increase acceleration and power. I consider this structure as an accessory that serves to improve some technical characteristics. This application is intended to protect this accessory that is combined with three elements, which assembled properly work efficiently.

DESCRIPCION DE LA INVENCIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Los detalles característicos de este novedoso tensor ubicado entre las cuerdas de la raqueta y una muñequera se muestran claramente en la siguiente descripción y en los dibujos que se acompañan, así como las ilustraciones y siguiendo los mismos signos de referencia para indicar las figuras mostradas.The characteristic details of this new tensioner located between the strings of the racket and a wristband are clearly shown in the following description and in the accompanying drawings, as well as the illustrations and following the same reference signs to indicate the figures shown.

La fig. 1 es una perspectiva del tensor. La fig. 2 es una vista frontal del tensor aplicado. La fig. 3 es una vista frontal del tensor absorbiendo las vibraciones. La fig. 4 es una vista frontal del tensor alivianando el peso de la raqueta.Fig. 1 is a tensor perspective. Fig. 2 is a front view of the applied tensioner. Fig. 3 is a front view of the tensioner absorbing the vibrations. Fig. 4 is a front view of the tensioner relieving the weight of the racket.

La fig. 5 muestra el movimiento de como contraer y dilatar el tensor. La fig. 6 muestra como se aplica la teoría en un golpe.Fig. 5 shows the movement of how to contract and dilate the tensioner. Fig. 6 shows how the theory is applied in one stroke.

Con referencia a dichas figuras, este accesorio consta de tres partes:With reference to these figures, this accessory consists of three parts:

1 - Un soporte en velero que se adapta entre las cuerdas (A)1 - A sailboat support that fits between the ropes (A)

2 - Una extensión elástica que sirve para generar tensión (B)2 - An elastic extension that serves to generate tension (B)

3 - Una muñequera que sirve como base (C) El soporte (A), se une en su extremo inferior a la extensión elástica (B), esta su ves se fija a la muñequera (C). Para el sostenimiento correcto del tensor, éste se coloca cuando la liga (B) esta floja, posteriormente se toma el mango de la raqueta en su base de juego tensando la liga, como se aprecia claramente en la figura 2. Este sencillo movimiento beneficia en cuatro diferentes casos:3 - A wristband that serves as a base (C) The support (A), is attached at its lower end to the elastic extension (B), this time is fixed to the wristband (C). For the correct support of the tensioner, it is placed when the league (B) is loose, then the handle of the racket is taken in its game base by tensioning the league, as can be clearly seen in figure 2. This simple movement benefits in Four different cases:

l.-Las vibraciones que se generan en cada impacto con la pelota se transfieren en la extensión elástica porque es una estructura más conductora que el marco de la raqueta.l.-The vibrations that are generated in each impact with the ball are transferred in the elastic extension because it is a more conductive structure than the racket frame.

Cuando la liga vibra descarga parte de la energía provocada de los impactos, como se muestra en la figura 3.When the league vibrates, it discharges part of the energy caused by the impacts, as shown in Figure 3.

2.-Una justa tensión de la liga aliviana la fuerza de gravedad sobre la raqueta, se tiene así una sensación de que esta suspendida en el aire ver figura. 4. 3.-La potencia de los golpes se beneficia gracias al efecto liga que aumentando su tensión ayuda la aceleración, llegando al impacto con la pelota a mayor velocidad. 4.-Mayor control porque hay mas superficie de agarre con la raqueta, se sostiene del mango y también del ovalo de la raqueta, sin afectar los movimientos. 2.-A fair tension of the league relieves the force of gravity on the racket, there is a feeling that it is suspended in the air see figure. 4. 3.-The power of the blows benefits thanks to the league effect that increasing its tension helps acceleration, reaching the impact with the ball at greater speed. 4.-Greater control because there is more grip surface with the racket, it is held by the handle and also by the racket oval, without affecting the movements.

Claims

Having sufficiently described my invention I consider it as a novelty in the world of tennis sport, therefore I claim as my exclusive property the following clauses.

1 - Tensioner between wristband and tennis racket that is characterized by comprising three elements: a wristband, an elastic extension and a sailboat support. The support, is attached at its lower end to the elastic extension, this time is fixed to the wristband. For the correct support of the tensioner, it is placed when the league is loose, then the racket handle is taken in its game base by tensioning the league. This simple movement benefits in four different cases: 1. -The vibrations that are generated at each impact with the ball are transferred in the elastic extension because it is a more conductive structure than the racket frame. When the league vibrates, it discharges part of the energy caused by the impacts. 2. -A fair tension of the league relieves the force of gravity on the racket, so you have a feeling that it is suspended in the air.3.-The power of the blows benefits thanks to the league effect that increases its tension helps the acceleration, reaching the impact with the ball at greater speed. 4.-Greater control because there is more grip surface with the racket, it is held by the handle and also by the racket oval, without affecting the movements.
