ABSTRACT:
A tensiometer for measuring the tension in the individual strings of a tennis racquet featuring a pair of rods which stradle the string to be tested, the rods extending from a base, a lever disk rotably mounted on the base and coupled by a spring to the base so that when the lever disk is rotated, the magnitude of torque required to overcome the tension in the strting and turn the base relative to the lever disk is indicated on a scale. The device also features a construction for adjusting the lever disk relative to the base in order to eiminate effects of the thickness of the string on tension reading.
