1. A racket handle insert (10; 110; 210; 310) designed to be fitted around at least one part of the core (2) of this handle, this insert forming, once fitted around this core, at least one first bulb shape (40, 50; 240, 340; 350) which has a middle bulge (R; R′; R″) with reference to a longitudinal
1. A racket handle insert (10; 110; 210; 310) designed to be fitted around at least one part of the core (2) of this handle, this insert forming, once fitted around this core, at least one first bulb shape (40, 50; 240, 340; 350) which has a middle bulge (R; R′; R″) with reference to a longitudinal axis of the handle, the transverse dimensions of each bulb shape decreasing continuously from this bulge in the direction of the two axial ends (E1, E2; E′1, E′2; E″1, E″2) of each bulb shape, the insert (10; 110) including a first pair of complementary shells (20, 22, 30, 32; 120, 122, 130, 132), each of which is suited to form a corresponding bulb shape (40, 50), these shells being made of a rigid material, the insert further including divisible connecting means between successive shells intended to form different bulb shapes. 2. The insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, at least at its outer periphery, each bulb shape has an octagonal cross section at each point. 3. The insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that each shell comprises a middle partition (201, 221), two intermediate flaps (202, 222) and two folding end sections (203, 223; 1203, 1223). 4. The insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that it is provided with means (124; 134) for connecting together two complementary shells (120, 122, 130, 132) intended to form a single bulb shape. 5. The insert as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the connecting means comprise a hinge (124, 134) connecting these two shells (120, 122; 130, 132). 6. The insert as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the connecting means comprise at least one compressible tab, making it possible to adapt these two shells to different cross sections of handle core. 7. The insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the insert (210) is made of a flexible material. 8. The insert as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that this insert (210) is cut from a strip (212) of larger size. 9. The insert as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that the insert (210) is provided with a means for fixing removably onto the handle core. 10. The insert as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that the inside face of the insert is coated with an adhesive means of the repositionable type. 11. The insert as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that the flexible material is an elastomer. 12. A method for fitting at least one insert as claimed in claim 7, the method comprising cutting at least one strip (212) so as to isolate at least one insert (210) of suitable length, said strip being made of a flexible material and including at least a first bulb shape having a middle bulge (R″), the transverse dimensions of each bulb shape decreasing continuously from this bulge in the direction of the two ends (E″1, E″2) of each bulb shape, and fitting each insert around the racket handle. 13. The method as claimed in claim 12, in which, having fitted the insert around the racket handle, this insert is removed and repositioned at a different location on the handle. 14. The method as claimed in claim 12, in which, having fitted this insert, this insert is removed and another insert is fitted around the racket handle at the same location or at a different location on the racket handle. 15. The insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the insert (310) is made of a thermoshrinkable material. 16. The insert as claimed in claim 15, characterized in that the insert (310) is made from a larger sleeve (312) made of a thermoshrinkable material. 17. A sleeve (312) made of a thermoshrinkable material, suited to form an insert (312) as claimed in claim 15 after having been subjected to a heating operation. 18. The insert as claimed in claim 15, characterized in that the thermoshrinkable material is polyethylene. 19. The insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that a first bulb shape (40; 240), intended to be put on the side of the main grip, has a length (L) between 50 and 130 mm, and a thickness e between 1 and 7 mm. 20. The insert as claimed in claim 19, characterized in that the length (L) of the first bulb shape (40; 240) is between 60 and 120 mm, and the thickness e of the first bulb shape (40; 240) is between 1.5 and 6 mm. 21. The insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that another bulb shape (50), intended to be put on the side of the second hand of the player, has a length (L′) between 50 and 120 mm, and a thickness e′ between 1 and 7 mm. 22. The insert as claimed in claim 21, characterized in that the length (L′) of the other bulb shape (50) is between 60 and 100 mm, and the thickness e′ of the other bulb shape (50) is between 1.5 and 6 mm. 23. A racket handle comprising a core (2), at least one insert (10; 110; 210; 310) fitted around this core (2), this insert being in accordance with claim 1, and a covering strip (60) fitted around the core (2) of this insert. 24. The handle as claimed in claim 23, wherein each insert is made of a flexible material and provided with a means for fixing removably onto the handle core so that each insert is fixed in a removable manner around the core (2). 25. A racket comprising a handle as claimed in claim 23. 26. The insert as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the rigid material of the shells (20, 22, 30, 32; 120, 122, 130, 132) is polyamide. 27. A strip (212) made of a flexible material, able to be cut so as to produce an insert (210) as claimed in claim 7, this strip comprising at least a first bulb shape having a middle bulge (R″), the transverse dimensions of each bulb shape decreasing continuously from this bulge in the direction of the two ends (E″1, E″2) of each bulb shape. 28. Packaging (260) suitable to accommodate at least one strip (212) as claimed in claim 27, this packaging comprising a tape (262) which can be torn off, provided with graduations (264) with a view to measuring the perimeter of the handle before receiving a piece of this strip. 29. A set of strips as claimed in claim 27, comprising several strips having profiles different from one another.
