(54) A tensioning device for a strung racquet


(57) The present invention relates to a tensioning device for a strung racquet (4) provided with a head (7) having a plurality of string holes (11) through which one or more strings (12) are threaded and drawn tight. The tensioning device (13,13A) comprises an elongate element (16, 16A) for location outside the racquet head (7) to extend around a portion thereof, said element having a plurality of apertures (14, 14A) in register with respective ones of the string holes (11) within said portion so that the string (12) or strings can be threaded through the element (16, 16A) and a selectively operable adjusting means (15, 15A) to act between the head (17) and said element (16, 16A) to adjust the spacing of said element from the head (7) and thereby alter the tension of at least those strings (12) threaded through the element (16, 16A).
