Description

Schläger zum Spielen eines Balls Racket for playing a ball
Aus dem Sport- und Freizeitbereich ist eine Vielzahl von Schlägern bekannt. Darunter gibt es eine erste Gruppe von Schlägern mit in Fortsetzung der Längsachse einer relativ großen Schlagfläche angeordneten Stielen (Tennis-, Squash-, Badminton-, Tischtennisschläger) . Mit diesen Schlägern wird der Ball in der Luft getroffen. Es gibt eine weitere Gruppe von Schlägern mit einer vom Stiel abgewinkelten, relativ kleinen Schlagfläche (z.B. Eishockey-, Hockey-, Streethockey- und Golfschläger). Mit diesen Schlägern wird der Ball in der Regel beidhändig am Boden geschlagen bzw. geführt. Zu der zuletzt genannten Gruppe gehört zum Beispiel der aus der CH-PS 685 149 bekannte Eishockeyschläger, bei dem der Griff am Schlägerende in der Ebene der Schlagfläche abgewinkelt ist. Durch diese Abwinkelung soll den beim Schlag auftretenden Hebeldrehkräften mit geringer Muskelkraft entgegengewirkt werden und eine verbesserte anatomische Handgelenkhaltung der oberen Schlaghand ermöglicht werden.A large number of clubs are known from the sports and leisure sector. Among them there is a first group of rackets with stems arranged in continuation of the longitudinal axis of a relatively large playing surface (tennis, squash, badminton, table tennis rackets). These clubs hit the ball in the air. There is another group of clubs with a relatively small club face angled from the handle (e.g. ice hockey, hockey, street hockey and golf clubs). With these clubs, the ball is usually hit or guided with both hands on the ground. The latter group includes, for example, the ice hockey stick known from CH-PS 685 149, in which the handle at the end of the stick is angled in the plane of the face. This angular deflection is intended to counteract the lever torsional forces that occur during the impact with little muscle strength and to enable an improved anatomical wrist posture of the upper impact hand.
Bei Sportarten, bei denen der Ball einhändig am Boden geschlagen werden uss, z.B. beim Hammerball, B-Ball oder Cona- Ball sind die bekannten Schläger nicht optimal, weil die Schläger in ihrer Handhabung nicht körpergerecht sind. Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Schläger der vorgenannten Art zum Spielen eines Balls, insbesondere eines einhändig am Boden zu schlagenden und/oder zu führenden Balls, bestehend aus einem Stiel, dessen eines Ende in einen Handgriff übergeht, und an dessen anderen Ende eine Schlagfläche angeordnet ist, wobei der Handgriff einen in der Ebene der Schlagfläche von der Achse des Stiels abweichenden Verlauf aufweist.In sports in which the ball is hit with one hand on the floor, for example hammerball, B-ball or Cona-Ball, the known rackets are not optimal because the rackets are not fit for the body. The invention relates to a racket of the aforementioned type for playing a ball, in particular a ball to be hit and / or guided with one hand on the floor, consisting of a handle, one end of which merges into a handle, and a striking surface arranged at the other end is, the handle has a deviating in the plane of the face from the axis of the stem.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen solchen Schläger so auszubilden, dass seine Handhabung für Rücken, Schulter, Arm und Hand gelenkschützend ist. Die gestellte Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass der Handgriff in der Ebene der Schlagfläche von der Achse des Stiels aufwärts nach vorn und dann wieder einwärts zurückgewölbt ist.The invention has for its object to design such a racket so that its handling for the back, shoulder, arm and hand is joint-protecting. The object is achieved according to the invention in that the handle is curved in the plane of the face from the axis of the stem upwards and then inwards again.
Durch die Erfindung wird erreicht, dass die Hand den Schläger beim Schlag nicht in vom Arm abgewinkelter Stellung hält, sondern dass Hand und Unterarm mit der Achse des Schlägers etwa in eine Richtung weisen. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass Handgelenk, Arm und Schulter protektiv entlastet werden. Außerdem werden Treffsicherheit und Schlagwirkung erhöht.The result of the invention is that the hand does not hold the racket in a position angled from the arm when struck, but that the hand and forearm point approximately in one direction with the axis of the racket. This ensures that the wrist, arm and shoulder are protected. In addition, accuracy and impact are increased.
Vorzugsweise beträgt der Winkel, unter dem die Aufwärtswöl- bung des Handgriffs beginnt, etwa 40° zur Achse des Stiels, um die protektive Entlastung zu erzielen.The angle at which the upward curvature of the handle begins is preferably approximately 40 ° to the axis of the handle in order to achieve the protective relief.
Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, die Wölbung so auszubilden, dass das Ende des Handgriffs wieder etwa in der Achse des Stiels liegt. Noch günstiger ist es aber, wenn statt dessen der Handgriff außerdem senkrecht zur Schlagfläche eine zweite Wölbung so erhält, dass die Wölbung aus der Achse des Stiels in Vorhand- Schlagrichtung verläuft. Durch diese Ausbildung bilden die beiden Wölbungen zusammen einen Teil einer Schraubenlinie. Dadurch liegt die Hand völlig entspannt, um den Handgriff in einer anatomisch angepassten Position.It is advisable to design the curvature so that the end of the handle is again approximately in the axis of the handle. However, it is even cheaper if, instead, the handle is given a second curvature perpendicular to the striking surface so that the curvature from the axis of the stem is present. Direction of lay runs. As a result of this design, the two arches together form part of a helical line. As a result, the hand lies completely relaxed around the handle in an anatomically adapted position.
Wenn vorteilhafterweise das Ende des Handgriffs verdickt ausgebildet wird, lässt sich ein Verrutschen der Hand entlang des Griffs vermeiden, und ein etwaiger Hohlraum an der dem' Daumen gegenüberliegenden Hand-Innenfläche wird bei unterschiedlichen Handgriffen ausgefüllt.If advantageously the end of the handle is formed thickened, can be avoided slipping of the hand along the handle, and a cavity at any of the 'thumbs opposing inner hand is filled with different handles.
Es ist zweckmäßig, den Handgriff mit Haftvorrichtungen wie elastischen Noppen, Rillen oder dergleichen zu versehen, um die Griffigkeit insbesondere bei Schweißabsonderung der Schlaghand zu erhöhen.It is expedient to provide the handle with adhesive devices such as elastic knobs, grooves or the like, in order to increase the grip, in particular when the striking hand exudes perspiration.
Die Schlagfläche kann auf vielfache Weise ausgebildet sein, wobei sich vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen von Schlagfläche und Stiel aus den Unteransprüchen 19 bis 13 ergeben.The striking surface can be designed in a variety of ways, advantageous embodiments of the striking surface and handle resulting from subclaims 19 to 13.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. In den Zeichnungen stellen dar:The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings. In the drawings:
Fig. 1A und 1B einen Schläger nach einer ersten und zweiten Ausführungsform und mit unterschiedlichen, seitlich am Stiel angebrachten Schlagflächen;1A and 1B a racket according to a first and second embodiment and with different striking surfaces attached to the side of the handle;
Fig. 2 eine Ausführungsform des Handgriffs des erfindungsgemäßen Schlägers; Fig. 3A und 3B Darstellungen gemäß den Fig. 1A und 1B, jedoch mit mittig am Stiel angebrachten Schlagflächen;2 shows an embodiment of the handle of the racket according to the invention; 3A and 3B representations according to FIGS. 1A and 1B, but with striking surfaces attached centrally to the handle;
Fig. 4 einen Blick auf die Schläger gemäß Fig. 1 und 3 in Richtung des Pfeils A (erste Ausführungsform) ; und4 shows a view of the racket according to FIGS. 1 and 3 in the direction of arrow A (first embodiment); and
Fig. 5 einen Blick auf die Schläger gemäß den Fig. 1 und 3 in Richtung des Pfeils A nach einer zweiten Ausführungsform .5 shows a view of the racket according to FIGS. 1 and 3 in the direction of arrow A according to a second embodiment.
Die Zeichnung zeigt einen erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Schläger 1, der aus einer Schlagfläche 2, einem Stiel 3 und einem Handgriff 4 besteht. Bei den beiden Ausführungsbeispielen von Fig. 1A und 1B ist die Schlagfläche 2 seitlich am Ende des Stiels 3 und bei den Ausführungsbeispielen gemäß den Fig. 3A und 3B mittig am Stiel 3 angebracht. Die Schlagfläche 2 ' besteht aus einer mit Löchern versehenen Kunststoffscheibe verschiedener Konfiguration. Dies ist nur eine mögliche Ausführungsform der Schlagfläche 2. Die Schlagfläche 2 kann auch als Gitter ausgebildet werden oder aus einem Rahmen bestehen, in dem - wie bei einem Tennisschläger - Saiten eingespannt sind. Der erfindungsgemäße Schläger 1 ist insbesondere zum einhändigen Schlagen oder Führen eines Balles am Boden bestimmt, wie dies zum Beispiel beim Hammerball, B-Ball oder Cona-Ball geschieht. Daher ist es zweckmäßig, den unteren Bereich der Schlagfläche bzw. des Rahmens verstärkt auszubilden. Aus dem gleichen Grunde ist der Stiel 3 aus zwei teleskopartig ineinander verschiebbaren Rohren ausgebildet, so dass die Länge des Stiels 3 veränderbar und an die Armlänge und Größe des Spielers anpassbar ist, wobei die Länge des Stiels 3 durch Schrauben.5 festlegbar ist, die durch Löcher in dem äußeren Rohr in Gewindebohrungen des inneren Rohres einschraubbar sind. Anstelle der Schrauben 5 sind auch vorgespannte Raststifte einsetzbar.The drawing shows a racket 1 designed according to the invention, which consists of a striking surface 2, a handle 3 and a handle 4. In the two embodiments of FIGS. 1A and 1B, the striking surface 2 is attached laterally at the end of the handle 3 and in the embodiments according to FIGS. 3A and 3B in the center on the handle 3. The striking surface 2 ' consists of a perforated plastic disc of various configurations. This is only one possible embodiment of the striking surface 2. The striking surface 2 can also be designed as a grid or consist of a frame in which strings are clamped, as in a tennis racket. The racket 1 according to the invention is intended in particular for one-handed hitting or guiding a ball on the ground, as is the case, for example, with a hammer ball, B ball or cona ball. It is therefore expedient to design the lower area of the striking surface or frame to be reinforced. For the same reason, the stem 3 is formed from two telescopically displaceable tubes, so that the length of the stem 3 is variable and on the arm length and size of the player is adjustable, the length of the handle 3 being fixable by screws 5 which can be screwed through holes in the outer tube into threaded bores of the inner tube. Instead of the screws 5, prestressed locking pins can also be used.
Das Besondere des erfindungsgemäßen Schlägers 1 ist sein Handgriff 4, der nicht einfach - wie bei dem Eishockeyschläger gemäß der CH-PS 685 149 - abgewinkelt ist, sondern der in einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung (Fig. 1, 3 und 4) in der Ebene der Schlagfläche 2 von der Achse 6 des Stiels 3 aufwärts nach vorn und dann wieder einwärts zurückgewölbt ist. Wie eingangs erwähnt wurde, wird hierdurch erreicht, dass die Hand den Schläger 1 beim Schlag nicht in vom Arm abgewinkelter Stellung hält, sondern dass Hand und Unterarm mit der Achse 6 des Schlägers 1 etwa eine gerade Linie bilden. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass Handgelenk, Arm und Schulter des Benutzers beim Schlag pro- tektiv entlastet werden. Außerdem werden Treffsicherheit und Schlagwirkung erhöht.The special feature of the racket 1 according to the invention is its handle 4, which is not simply angled, as in the case of the ice hockey stick according to CH-PS 685 149, but rather in a plane in a first embodiment of the invention (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4) the face 2 is curved upwards from the axis 6 of the stem 3 and then inwards again. As mentioned at the beginning, the result of this is that the hand does not hold the racket 1 in a position angled from the arm during the stroke, but that the hand and forearm form an approximately straight line with the axis 6 of the racket 1. This ensures that the user's wrist, arm and shoulder are relieved of stress when struck. In addition, accuracy and impact are increased.
Der Winkel α, unter dem die Aufwärtswölbung des Handgriffs 4 beginnt, beträgt etwa 40° zur Achse 6. In Fig. 1A und IB ist die Wölbung so ausgebildet, dass das Ende des Handgriffs 4 etwa wieder in der Achse 6 des Stiels 3 liegt. Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, wird vorteilhafterweise das Ende des Handgriffs 4 verdickt ausgebildet, so dass sich ein Verrutschen der Hand entlang des Griffs 4 vermeiden und ein etwaiger Hohlraum an der dem Daumen gegenüberliegenden Hand-Innenfläche bei unterschiedlichen Handgrößen des Spielers ausgefüllt wird. In nicht dargestellter Weise ist der Handgriff 4 mit Haftvorrichtungen versehen, wie elastischen Noppen, Rillen oder dergleichen, um die Griffigkeit insbesondere bei Schweißabsonderung der Schlaghand zu erhöhen.The angle α, at which the upward curvature of the handle 4 begins, is approximately 40 ° to the axis 6. In FIGS. 1A and 1B, the curvature is designed such that the end of the handle 4 lies approximately again in the axis 6 of the handle 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the end of the handle 4 is advantageously thickened, so that the hand does not slip along the handle 4 and any hollow space on the inside of the hand opposite the thumb is filled with different hand sizes of the player. In a manner not shown, the handle 4 is provided with adhesive devices, such as elastic knobs, grooves or the like, in order to increase the grip, in particular when the striking hand exudes perspiration.
Besonders günstig ist, wenn der Handgriff 4 nach einer weiteren Auisführungsform der Erfindung zusätzlich zur ersten Wölbung (Fig. 1 und 3) gemäß Fig. 5 senkrecht zur Schlagfläche 2 eine zweite Wölbung aufweist, die aus der Achse 6 des Stiels 3 in Vorhand-Schlagrichtung 7 verläuft. Die beiden Wölbungen bilden zusammen einen Teil einer Schraubenlinie. Die Hand liegt dadurch völlig entspannt um den Handgriff 4 in einer anatomisch angepassten Position.It is particularly favorable if, according to a further embodiment of the invention, in addition to the first curvature (FIGS. 1 and 3) according to FIG. 5, the handle 4 has a second curvature perpendicular to the striking surface 2, which arises from the axis 6 of the handle 3 in the forehand striking direction 7 runs. The two arches together form part of a helix. As a result, the hand lies completely relaxed around the handle 4 in an anatomically adapted position.
Wie in Fig. IB dargestellt ist, kann der Querschnitt des Handgriffs 4 verschieden ausgebildet sein. Er kann entweder etwa kreisrund in Fortsetzung des Stiels 3 ausgebildet sein oder elliptische Form haben, wobei die Hauptachse der Ellipse in der Ebene der Schlagfläche 2 liegt.As shown in Fig. IB, the cross section of the handle 4 can be designed differently. It can either be approximately circular in continuation of the stem 3 or have an elliptical shape, the main axis of the ellipse lying in the plane of the face 2.
Der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Handgriff 4 ist insbesondere für einen Schläger zum einhändig am Boden zu schlagenden und/oder zu führenden Ball geeignet. Vorteile ergeben sich jedoch auch bei Anwendung dieses Handgriffs bei einem Eishockeyoder Hockeyschläger und bei einem Tennisschläger. The handle 4 designed according to the invention is particularly suitable for a racket for the ball to be struck and / or guided with one hand on the ground. However, there are also advantages when using this handle on an ice hockey or hockey stick and on a tennis racket.
