Abstract (en)

[origin: US4776592A] A device for the protection of strings on the frame of a racket, such as for example, a tennis racket, comprises a band-like body which includes a plurality of tubular sleeves spaced a distance corresponding to the distance of bores in the frame of the racket. The band-like body further includes a peripheral groove which groove is in open connection with the tubular sleeves. The strings are placed into the peripheral groove and are strung through the tubular sleeves. The band-like body has protruding wall parts located on the side of the groove facing the tubular sleeves, which wall parts are connected with lateral parts of the body that overlap the frame. The protruding wall parts close the peripheral groove so that the strings lie protected within the peripheral groove.
