RACQUET CONFIGURED WITH INCREASED LATERAL FLEXIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO A LONGITUDINAL AXIS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050812 titled 'RACQUET CONFIGURED WITH INCREASED LATERAL FLEXIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO A LONGITUDINAL AXIS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a racquet with a frame consisting of a head portion, a handle portion, and a throat portion. The head portion forms a hoop that defines a string bed plane and is made of a fiber composite material. The racquet is tested under two bending tests: the racquet lateral bending test and the racquet forward/rearward bending test.

  • The racquet has a lateral deflection of at least 6.5 mm when tested in a direction parallel to the string bed plane and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • The racquet has a forward/rearward deflection of less than 7.3 mm when tested in a direction perpendicular to the string bed plane and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Professional and recreational tennis players can benefit from using a racquet with improved bending characteristics.
  • The racquet's design allows for better control and maneuverability during gameplay.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional racquets may not provide sufficient bending and deflection, limiting player performance.
  • The fiber composite material used in the racquet's head portion enhances its flexibility and responsiveness.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The racquet's lateral deflection allows for increased power and accuracy in shots.
  • The forward/rearward deflection ensures better stability and control during gameplay.
  • The use of fiber composite material in the racquet's construction improves its durability and performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

a racquet including a frame including a head portion, a handle portion, and a throat portion. the head portion forms a hoop that defines a string bed plane. the head portion of the racquet being formed of a fiber composite material. when the racquet is tested under the racquet lateral bending test, the racquet has a lateral deflection of at least 6.5 mm when measured in a first direction that is parallel to the string bed plane and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. when the racquet is tested under a racquet forward/rearward bending test, the racquet has a forward/rearward deflection with respect to the longitudinal axis of less than 7.3 mm when measured in a direction that is perpendicular to the string bed plane and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
