Abstract (en)
A safety racket (10, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80) includes a head frame (20, 48), a handle (28), a connecting portion (29), several nail members (30, 44, 54, 62) and a string (38, 56, 68). The head frame (20, 48) has a plurality of through holes (24, 52). The connecting portion (29) connects between the head frame (20, 48) and the handle (28). The nail members (30, 44, 54, 62) each have a head (32, 45, 63) and at least one body (34, 46, 64) extending along an axial direction (A) from the head (32, 45, 63) and inserted into the through hole (24, 52). The body (34, 46, 64) of the nail member (30, 44, 54, 62) has a distal end (35, 65) protruding from the through hole (24, 52), and a lateral hole (36, 47, 66) positioned at the distal end (35, 65) and extending along a direction (X) substantially perpendicular to the axial direction (A). The string (38, 56, 68) passes through the lateral hole (36, 47, 66) and interweaved to form a net surface (P). Since the string (38, 56, 68) is not exposed outside the head frame (20, 48), the string (38, 56, 68) is well protected to avoid damaging by external objects. The racket (10, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80) also has excellent shock-absorbing effect due to elastic material, such as rubber and plastic, adopted by the nail members (30, 44, 54, 62).
