Definitions

the invention relates to a racket, for hitting a ball, and not having a rope. In particular it is intended for Padel's game.
Padel is a ball game that is played with a racket without ropes, whose striking zone is full or almost full as it may have holes crossing transversely the head of the racket. Padel's game is played on a field separated by a net and surrounded by walls, with the ball bouncing off the ground and bouncing off the walls.
Padel's racket consists of three parts, which are the head, the heart and the neck.
the head corresponds to the strike zone of the ball
the neck is the part that is tightened by the player's hand
the heart is the area that connects the head to the handle of the racket.
padel rackets comprise in the striking area or head of the racket, a core covered on each of its two striking faces by a reinforcement generally made of composite material. Furthermore, a generally hollow tube surrounds the head of the racket and the two ends of this tube meet at the handle, as described in document ES 2,395,181 . This hollow tube directly surrounds the periphery of the core of the racket. This tube takes its hollow form during the molding of the racket and in particular through an inflation operation of this tube. This hollow tube has an outer surface forming the perimeter of the head of the racket which reproduces the shape of the mold used during molding. On the other hand, its inner surface in contact with the periphery of the core of the racket is not always regular and can present deformations or folds, which frequently induces defects and damages the resistance of the racket.
the object of the invention is to provide a particular internal racquet structure for obtaining a tube or tubular element well formed. Another object of the invention makes it possible to increase the resistance of the racket.
the invention relates to a racket which comprises firstly, a core covered on each of its faces parallel to the striking surfaces of the racket by at least one reinforcing layer and secondly, a tubular element forming around the racket.
this racket is characterized in that at least one additional reinforcing element is positioned between the peripheral surface of the core and the tubular element.
the peripheral surface of the core or the periphery of the core which is intended to give the racket its thickness is covered directly or indirectly, partially or totally, by an additional reinforcing layer, called additional reinforcing element, on which comes to rely on its inner surface a tubular element which forms the periphery of the racket head and which can also extend to the handle of the racket.
an additional reinforcing member which prevents the depression of the core during expansion of the tubular member.
the racket according to the invention can incorporate one or more of the following characteristics.
the additional reinforcing element is preferably more rigid than the core material.
the additional reinforcing element may consist of a strip in contact with the peripheral surface of the core or around the core.
This band may have parallel edges and may have a width substantially corresponding to the thickness of the core.
the additional reinforcing member may only partially cover the peripheral surface of the core.
the length of the band forming the additional reinforcement element is less than the perimeter of the core.
the additional reinforcing element can completely cover the peripheral surface of the core.
the racket may also include a second tubular element at its core which rests on a portion of the additional reinforcing element.
the racket may have two additional reinforcing elements superimposed or even a larger number if necessary.
An elastomeric element may be superimposed on the additional reinforcing element or on one of the additional reinforcing elements.
the additional element may also include recesses.
these recesses can be small through holes of various shapes and small dimensions, of the order of a few millimeters.
the racket according to the invention may have a core formed of several superimposed layers and / or may have a core formed of several parts nested with each other.
the racket according to the invention may also have a structure where the reinforcing layers and the tubular element are covered by a protective layer.
the racket according to the invention generally has a tubular element which is a hollow tube.
the racket comprising, on the one hand, a core covered on each of its faces forming striking surfaces by at least one reinforcing layer and, on the other hand, a tubular element forming the around the racket, is placed in the racket mold an additional reinforcing element on the peripheral surface of the core, the core having been previously positioned in the mold. Then, around this additional reinforcing element, is positioned a composite braid in which is inserted an inflatable sheath, such that during the inflation and molding operation, the composite braid forms a hollow tube whose inner wall is supported directly or indirectly against the additional reinforcing element to properly form the tubular element.
the additional reinforcing element is cut into a band shape.
This cutting strip can be performed either prior to molding, or during the setting phase of the various components of the racket.
Padel's racket is composed of a head 1 or sieve constituting the strike zone of the ball, a handle 2 intended to be taken in hand by the player and a heart 3 which connects the head 1 to the neck 2.
This core zone 3 has a recess 4. It could be envisaged that this zone 3 has several recesses and for example three recesses 4a, 4b, 4c as illustrated in FIGS. figures 2 and 5 , or even no recess: the zone of the heart 3 would be in this case then completely full.
the head of a padel racket has unrepresented through holes, to avoid resistance to friction in the air and make the racket more manoeuvrable.
a first embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 .
the structure of the head 1 of the racket is constituted by a central core 5 covered on its two lower planar surfaces 5b and 5a upper respectively by two layers of composite materials 9b and 9a. Are these layers even covered respectively by two protective layers 10b and 10a forming the striking surfaces.
the lower faces 5b and 5a of the core 5 are located in planes parallel to the strike planes of the racket.
the protective layers 10a and 10b may consist either of layers of plastic material, transparent or not, positioned in the mold before molding or reported after molding of the racket by gluing, or by additional layers of paint or varnish applied after molding the racket, directly on the composite layers 9a and 9b.
These layers are generally of a thin thickness of the order of a millimeter and even less than 1 mm.
These protective layers and these layers of composite materials extend, in the illustrated embodiment, in the area of the heart 3 of the racket and also on the handle 2 of the racket.
the layers of composite materials 9a, 9b may consist of one or more elements, juxtaposed and / or superimposed.
the composite materials used may be based on glass fibers, carbon fibers, aramid fibers or natural fibers, used alone or in combination.
the fibers may be unidirectional, but in an advantageous embodiment, the fibers are crossed and oriented, generally at 0 and 90 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the handle 2. These fibers are impregnated with resin, such as epoxy resin. During molding, the resin ensures the bonding of all the components of the racket between them.
the core 5 of the racket is composed of a layer of generally thermoplastic polymeric foam, such as, for example, an Ethylene Vinyl Acetal or EVA foam. These foams are of low density, and low hardness, preferably between 10 and 30 Shore A. Such foam is flexible and deformable and therefore has a low rigidity, the Young's modulus of such a foam is for example lower at 500 MPa.
This core of substantially oval shape in a plane parallel to the striking surfaces, gives the racket a sandwich structure by separating the layers of composite materials 9a and 9b from the thickness of the core 5.
the thickness of this core 5 is in large general, between 10 and 50mm, preferably between 35 and 40mm. It will not depart from the scope of the invention if the core consists of several parts nested in each other and / or if the core itself consists of several superimposed layers.
the periphery of the core 5 is constituted by the peripheral surface 5c of the core 5.
This peripheral surface 5c of the core 5 is covered with several elements explained below which form and reinforce the periphery of the racket.
peripheral surface 5c of the core is covered at least partially by a reinforcing strip 8 or additional reinforcement element 8, then by a tubular element 6 which covers the outer face of this reinforcing strip 8.
This tubular element 6 forms the around the head of the racket and also extends at the handle 2 by two rectilinear portions 6e and 6d.
the additional reinforcing element 8 is made of a material that is much more rigid than the foam constituting the core 5, such as for example aluminum, a composite based on fiberglass or carbon fibers, or even a rigid plastic material of ABS type preferably loaded with fiberglass, more rigid than the EVA.
the Young's modulus of the material of the additional reinforcement element will for example be greater than 3000 MPa, preferably greater than 8000 MPa and even greater than 10000 MPa. Indeed, the greater the stiffness of the additional reinforcing element 8, the greater the section of the tube 6 and in particular the inner surface 6b of the tube 6 will be regular and well formed.
the thickness of this additional reinforcing element 8 is thin, of the order of a millimeter, for example between 0.2 and 1.5 mm to not increase too much the weight of the racket.
This additional reinforcement element 8 is positioned at least on the front part of the racket head 1 and preferably also extends on the lateral sides of the racket to the level of the heart 3 of the racket as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 .
this additional reinforcing element 8 can completely circle the core 5.
this additional reinforcing element 8 is a strip directly in contact with the core.
This additional reinforcing element 8 is positioned between the peripheral surface 5c of the core 5 and the inner wall 6b of the tubular element 6.
the tubular element 6 or tube 6 consists of a braid made of composite materials based on oriented fibers. glass and / or carbon and / or optionally resin impregnated aramid in which is inserted an inflatable sheath which, during the molding of the racket takes the form of a tube under the effect of inflation of this sheath.
this tube 6 is hollow and its section has an arcuate zone 6a which matches the shape of the racket mold on its outward face facing the outside of the racket and a substantially rectilinear zone 6b on its inner face facing towards the center of the sieve of the racket which marries the outer shape of the peripheral surface 5c of the core 5.
This substantially rectilinear area of the tube 6 is obtained by the fact that the tube 6 bears on the strip 8 which is rigid enough not to undergo deformations when pressure is exerted by the walls of the tube 6 during its inflation during molding.
This reinforcing strip 8 thus makes it possible to obtain a tube 6 which has an internal wall or internal wall 6b that is regular, without undulation and without wrinkles.
the invention therefore proposes positioning at least one additional reinforcement element 8 between the peripheral surface 5c of the core 5 and the tubular element 6.
the tube 6 bears against the rigid wall of the mold to form its outer wall or 6a outer, and against the additional reinforcing element 8 to form its inner or inner wall 6b.
the additional reinforcing element 8 is a band which preferably has a width corresponding substantially to the thickness of the core. The sides of this band then become contiguous with the lower and upper reinforcements 9a and 9b located in planes parallel to the striking planes.
the peripheral reinforcement 8 could be formed by an extension of one or both of the lower and upper reinforcements which would be curved to fit around the periphery of the core.
the reinforcing strip 8 could be of slightly smaller thickness or greater in order to provide a bearing surface sufficient to form the inner face 6b of the tube 6. In the case where the width of this band is greater at the width of the core, a part of this band could cover more or less partially, the lower surface or surfaces 5b and 5a of the core 5.
This strip 8 preferably has upper and lower edges, 8i and 8s parallel and rectilinear but edges chiseled by notches of shallow depths could also be suitable.
the tubular element 6 has two ends 6d and 6e forming a portion of the handle.
the inner portion of the handle is completed by a second tubular element 7 or additional tube 7 which is part of the heart of the racket to stiffen this part of the racket.
This additional tube 7 comes in its upper part in contact with the lower part of the core.
the additional reinforcing element 8 is extended at the lower part of the core to allow the additional tube 7 to come to bear against the additional reinforcing element 8 during its inflation. and during the molding to obtain a hollow tube 7 formed correctly in the heart area, without having deformed the core 5 of the racket during molding.
the figures 5 and 6 show a second embodiment in which it is envisaged to superpose on the additional reinforcement element 8 a second additional reinforcement element 8a for the main purpose of increasing the rigidity of the interface constituted here by the two elements 8 and 8a and positioned between the periphery of the core 5 and the inner face 6b of the tube 6.
This second additional reinforcing element 8a may be a strip of a length similar to the length of the strip formed by the element 8 or may be of shorter length and positioned superimposed on the element 8 in a particular zone where the forming tube 6 is more delicate.
the figure 7 is an alternative embodiment which has a band 8b consisting of an elastomeric element for damping the racket during the beating strikes.
This band 8b is superimposed on the additional reinforcing element 8 and comes into contact with the inner face 6b of the tube 6.
This elastomeric element 8b may have a length similar to the band 8 or possibly less.
the tubular element 6 does not rely directly on the additional reinforcing element 8 in certain zones, but this does not affect the good formation of the section of the tube 6 since the tubular element 6 is still a rigid support on the side of the core 5, still avoiding the core 5 to be deformed during molding.
the figure 8 is another embodiment where one of the two additional reinforcing elements 8 and 8c may have recesses 8d for lightening this additional reinforcing element.
the number of recesses 8d and the size of the recesses 8d will be chosen such that these recesses do not affect the forming of the inner wall 6b of the tube 6. These recesses can be non-emerging or on the contrary completely through.
the shape of the recesses or holes may be various, round or oval or polygonal. The distribution of these recesses on the band can be a particular reason, distributed regularly or not.
the molding of the racket is carried out by applying known pressure and temperature parameters combined with an inflation operation of the sheaths inserted inside the composite braids 6 and 7 to obtain the hollow tubes 6 and 7.
this molding and inflating operation the inner wall of the hollow tube 6 rests against the additional reinforcing element 8 which, because of its sufficient rigidity, does not crush or deform, which allows the hollow tube to be formed properly, without presenting areas of low breaking strength.
the additional reinforcing element 8 surrounding the periphery of the core 5 may be arranged around the core 5 during molding, with or without adhesive means, or it may be positioned around the core before molding, by gluing or by injection on the periphery of the core 5 in the area around the core 5 concerned.
the invention has the advantage of solving manufacturing problems and in particular of solving the problems encountered in correctly forming the peripheral tube and in particular its inner wall which is the closest to the core, which is an essential constituent element of the structure of the tube.
a padel racket a racket.
the invention presents a simple, economical solution without adding excessive weight.
