Title:
APPARATUS FOR ABSORBING SHOCK OF RACKET
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS62181071
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An improved sports racquet of the type having a rounded head for holding an array of tensioned strings, a shaft with a handle, and a yoke including a pair of bifurcated arms for attaching the shaft to the head, wherein the improvement generally comprises a resilient insert disposed within a radially disposed gap provided completely through the racquet head between the two arms of the yoke. The resilient insert is keyed to fit closely within the gap in the racquet head, and is further secured in place by a base plate which overlies the confronting ends of the head formed by the gap. The resilient insert absorbs head vibration by cushioning flexure in the head which tends to either narrow the gap in the head, or misalign the two confronting ends of the head.
