  • Patent number: 4131278
    Abstract: A game racket for a game generally similar to tennis but not employing a net, the racket consisting of a main body formed by a rigid ring with thin plate-like but resilient panels peripherally sealingly secured on opposite sides of the ring, defining a sealed air chamber therebetween. The ring has a handle which is offset from the center line of the racket by a distance sufficient to enable the user's index finger to supportingly engage the back of the main body substantially along the center line when the racket is gripped, so as to provide improved control of the racket when striking a ball and to relieve wrist tension. The sealed air chamber contributes to the bounce characteristics of the racket by acting as a resiliently compressible gas cell wherein the impacted panel distorts to a greater degree than the opposite panel, causing compression of the contained air which then immediately expands and reacts drivingly on the ball.
