ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a games racket, such as a tennis racket which is "double-strung", i.e. the stringing is disposed in two generally parallel planes located on opposite sides of the head frame. The head frame has a generally radially outwardly opening channel which extends around the outer periphery of the head frame.
In one embodiment, each of the two side walls of the channel is provided with peripherally outwardly opening slots which are spanned by, and receive and locate, the stringing in the associated one of the parallel planes. The stringing in each plane is composed of a pre-woven mesh of discrete string portions, each pre-knotted adjacent its opposite ends. Each mesh is fitted to its associated side wall by locating one end of each discrete string portion in an associated one of a pair of slots on opposite sides of the opening defined by the head frame, with the knot at that end engaged within the channel to anchor that end. The string portion is then temporarily stretched to enable the knot at its opposite end to pass over the peripherally open end of the other of the pair of slots and engage within the channel while the other end is engaged in the other slot, thereby to anchor the other end. The inter-knot spacing of each string portion is precisely predetermined in relation to the spacing between the associated pair of slots which that string portion spans so as to maintain that string portion at the required tension.
