ABSTRACT:
The sports racquet of the present invention utilizes a series of interlocking string clamping assemblies which are adapted to be received within a corresponding series of passageways formed in the surrounding frame structure of the racquet, and wherein each clamping assembly is adapted to receive and grip a length of playing string which passes therethrough. The clamping assembly is generally comprised of a gripping wedge member and a clamping member, wherein the gripping wedge includes a fastener which secures the wedge to the racquet frame structure prior to application of the clamping member. With the gripping wedge member so positioned and secured within the frame structure, the clamping member is inserted between the wedge and the frame passageway, thereby causing the wedge member to engage and grip the adjacently disposed segment of playing string. In a preferred embodiment, the clamping member is equipped with a fastener which secures the clamping member to the wedge upon completion of the clamping member insertion process.
