Tennis racket

Abstract

Disclosed is a tennis racket ( 1 ) including an oval frame ( 10 ) supporting a mesh ( 14 ). The little holes or all the little holes ( 140 ) of the mesh ( 14 ) are arranged between the geometric centre (C) of the frame and the apex (S) of the frame.

1 - 10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . A tennis racket, comprising an oval frame supporting a sieve, wherein the or all the smallest meshes of the sieve are positioned between the geometrical center of a frame and an apex of the frame. 
     
     
         12 . The racket according to  claim 11 , wherein the or all the smallest meshes of the sieve define a center of the sieve, which is positioned on an axis of symmetry of the sieve passing through the geometrical center and the apex of the frame. 
     
     
         13 . The racket according to  claim 12 , wherein a distance between the geometrical center of the frame and the center of the sieve is comprised between 5.5% and 53% of the distance between the geometrical center and the apex of the frame. 
     
     
         14 . The racket according to  claim 12 , wherein a single smaller mesh is provided on the sieve. 
     
     
         15 . The racket according to  claim 14 , wherein the sieve comprises longitudinal cords parallel to the axis of symmetry of the sieve and transverse cords perpendicular to the longitudinal cords and wherein the smallest mesh of the sieve has a longitudinal dimension smaller than that of the other meshes of the sieve and a transverse dimension less than that of the other meshes of the sieve. 
     
     
         16 . The racket according to  claim 14 , wherein the center of the sieve is at the center of the smallest mesh. 
     
     
         17 . The racket according to  claim 14 , wherein the sieve comprises  16  longitudinal cords and  19  transverse cords. 
     
     
         18 . The racket according to  claim 17 , wherein the smallest mesh of the sieve is defined, from the apex, between the seventh and eighth transverse cords of the sieve. 
     
     
         19 . The racket according to  claim 17 , wherein the smallest mesh of the sieve is defined between the eighth and ninth longitudinal cords. 
     
     
         20 . The racket according to  claim 14 , wherein the meshes of the sieve, other than the smallest mesh, are all the smaller when they are close to the smallest mesh.
