  • Patent number: 4591156
    Abstract: Removable device for attaching a racket to a player's wrist, comprises a flexible wrist strap that encircles the player's wrist, and a soft rubber cap that grips the end of the handgrip and has a rigid female insert that releasably retains a male assembly on the wrist strap. For this purpose, the insert has a central opening for receiving a portion of the male assembly, that central opening having an abutment shoulder that faces inwardly. The male assembly comprises a fitting having an annular flange that nests in the cap, and a cylindrical rod that slides in the fitting. The cylindrical rod has an enlarged conical inner end, which spreads apart or permits to move back toward each other, legs on the fitting that have outwardly extending detents. When the legs are spread, the detents cannot clear the abutment shoulder and so the device is held assembled. When the rod is pushed in and the legs can move back together, the detents are sufficiently closely spaced to clear the abutment shoulder.
