The invention relates to a racket handle insert which is intended to be placed around at least part of the core (2) of the handle and which, once in position, forms a first bulbous configuration (40, 50) having a central bulge (R, R′), the transverse dimensions of each bulbous configuration diminishing continuously from the bulge towards the two axial ends thereof.
Claims29
A racket handle insert (10;
- 110;
- 210;
- 310) designed to be fitted around at least one part of the core (2) of this handle, this insert forming, once fitted around this core, at least one first bulb shape (40, 50;
- 240, 340;
- 350) which has a middle bulge (R;
- R′;
- R″) with reference to a longitudinal axis of the handle, the transverse dimensions of each bulb shape decreasing continuously from this bulge in the direction of the two axial ends (E1, E2;
- E′1, E′2;
- E″1, E″2) of each bulb shape, the insert (10;
- 110) including a first pair of complementary shells (20, 22, 30, 32;
- 120, 122, 130, 132), each of which is suited to form a corresponding bulb shape (40, 50), these shells being made of a rigid material, the insert further including divisible connecting means between successive shells intended to form different bulb shapes.
