Abstract: The invention relates to a racket handle insert which is intended to be placed around at least part of the core (2) of the handle and which, once in position, forms a first bulbous configuration (40, 50) having a central bulge (R, R?), the transverse dimensions of each bulbous configuration diminishing continuously from the bulge towards the two axial ends thereof.

Abstract: A shoe, in particular a sports shoe, which includes a front body for accommodating phalanxes of a foot, a rear body for accommodating a heel of the foot, an internal lateral body and an external lateral body linking the front body and the rear body, and a sole. The shoe has a clamping device for exerting a pressure essentially laterally on the rear body and a clamping member and pinching members for cooperating with the clamping device and wherein the pinching members are positioned laterally on either side of a median strip of the rear body and whereby the pinching members place force against the median strip by tightening of the clamping device.

Abstract: A tennis racquet frame including a handle, a rim and arms connecting the handle and the rim and wherein each arm includes two fingers extending one above and one below the rim when the racquet frame is laid flat on a support surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a racket handle insert which is intended to be placed around at least part of the core (2) of the handle and which, once in position, forms a first bulbous configuration (40, 50) having a central bulge (R, R?), the transverse dimensions of each bulbous configuration diminishing continuously from the bulge towards the two axial ends thereof.

Abstract: This shoe, in particular sports shoe, comprises: a front body (2), suitable for accommodating the phalanxes of a foot, a rear body (4), suitable for accommodating a heel of the foot, an internal lateral body (6) and an external lateral body (7) linking the front body and the rear body, a sole (8) on which are positioned these bodies (2, 4, 6, 7), the sole defining a longitudinal axis (X-X), a clamping device, suitable for holding the foot in the shoe. Furthermore, the clamping device is suitable for exerting a pressure essentially laterally on the rear body (4), according to a transversal axis (Y-Y) substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (X-X).

Abstract: This tennis racquet frame comprises a handle (2), a rim (4) and arms (6) connecting this handle and this rim. Each arm comprises two fingers (101, 102) extending one above and one below the rim when the racquet frame is laid flat.

Abstract: The handle (2) has at least a first bulb (10) defined by a first constriction (E1), a thickening (R1), and another constriction (E2), the first bulb presenting a section that is octagonal at all points, being defined by a rectangle truncated by four chamfers, the transverse dimensions of the first bulb increasing substantially continuously from each constriction (E1, E2) going towards the thickening (R1), the transverse dimensions of the bulb being as follows: AE1 lies in the range 31.25 mm to 33.25 mm; BE1 lies in the range 27 mm to 29 mm; CE1 lies in the range 8 mm to 14 mm; AR1 lies in the range 34.5 mm to 36.5 mm; BR1 lies in the range 30 mm to 32 mm; CR1 lies in the range 10 mm to 16 mm; AE2 lies in the range 30.5 mm to 32.5 mm; BE2 lies in the range 26.5 mm to 28.5 mm; and CE2 lies in the range 8 mm to 14 mm.
