Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0241393B1] 1. Racket equipped with a device for absorbing the vibrations of its strings, in which each string passes through holes (8) drilled in the structure of the frame, the device consisting of at least one flexible ring-shaped elastomer membrane (10), pierced by an opening (14) and attached in at least one drilled hole of at least the part forming the bridge (4) of the frame, characterized in that each drilled hole is delimited by a surface of revolution created by a straight line, and that the opening of the membrane (10) has a diameter which is less than that of the string which passes through it.
