1) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a structure of a toy tennis racket, which includes tensioned string of which one side is adhesive and another side is the hitting face. The adhesive face stops the ball, and the hitting face allows a user to hit the ball without any resistance.
2) Description of the Prior Art
Usually, a “toy tennis racket” is a double sided tennis racket. Please refer to
I. Problem to solve:
(A) Poor ball-hitting surface because flat hitting face 11 is not elastic and also stretched tightly, it can only rebound the ball, but not buffer or disperse force imposed on the racket, and the hand of a player holding the handle of the racket 1 may feel tired or sore. Furthermore, the player may not hit and control the ball the expected distance due to the poor rebound and, therefore, the ball-falling ratio is often bigger than the ball-hitting ratio, so the player may get frustrated in the game and thereby lose interest in it.
(B) It takes effort to move the racket because hitting face 11 may directly block aie when moving the racket due to the non-ventilated flat hitting face 11. The force of the wind resistance on hitting face II results in difficulty in hitting the ball and can cause the player to hit the ball in the wrong direction.
II. Solutions:
1. This invention allows better ball-hitting and reduced wind resistance for a toy tennis racket, which it hits the ball with one side and stops ball with another adhesive side so as to enhance the interest and attraction of the game, as well as reduce injuries caused by too much resistance.
2. This invention stretches string, of which one side is adhesive, across a frame of a tennis racket in horizontal and longitudinal directions to make a network to provide elasticity similar to a real tennis racket.
3. The network holes can reduce wind resistance so that a player can move this racket easily and enjoy playing the game.
