Abstract
A device comprises an elastomer, and a metal ball which is contained in a cell of the interior of the elastomer. The elastomer is provided in the periphery with one or more slits by which the elastomer is fastened to the strings of a tennis racket. The elastomer in itself is capable of absorbing shock and deadening noise. As the strings of the tennis racket are impacted by a ball, the metal ball is activated by the impact force to vibrate at a high frequency in the cell of the elastomer. The high-frequency vibration of the metal ball serves to absorb shock and deaden noise.
Claims1
A device for deadening noise and absorbing shock of the strings of a tennis racket, said device comprising:
- an elastomer of a form and provided in an interior with a cell, and a canal in communication with said cell and atmospheric air, said elastomer further provided in a periphery with one or more slits whereby said elastomer is fastened with the strings of the tennis racket by said slits serving to accommodate the strings of the tennis racket;
- and
- a metal ball inserted into said cell of said elastomer via said canal whereby said metal ball is activated to vibrate at a high frequency in said cell of said elastomer by the impact of a tennis ball in contact with the strings of the tennis racket.
