Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Golfschlägerkopf, insbesondere Golfputterkopf, mit einer an der Vorderseite eines Schlagteils vorgesehenen Schlagfläche für einen Golfball und mit einer an der Rückseite des Schlagteils befestigten Einrichtung zum Anordnen von austauschbaren Gewichten. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner einen Golfschläger mit einem derartigen Kopf.The invention relates to a golf club head, in particular golf putter head, having a striking surface for a golf ball provided on the front side of a striking part and with a device for arranging exchangeable weights fixed to the rear side of the striking part. The invention further relates to a golf club with such a head.

Der Putter wird beim Golfsport dafür benützt, den Ball auf dem Grün einzulochen bzw. zu putten. Der Putter besteht überlicherweise aus einem Putterkopf und einem Schaft mit einem Griff. Dabei sind die Einzelteile des Putters fest miteinander verbunden. Eine Massenverlagerung im Putterkopf wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Masse des Putterkopfes selbst gering und die Masse von einem oder mehreren Zusatzgewichten möglichst groß gewählt wird. Der Putterkopf selbst wird daher aus einem Material mit einem niedrigen spezifischen Gewicht, vorzugsweise Leichtmetall, hergestellt, für die Zusatzgewichte wird ein Metall mit einem höheren spezifischen Gewicht verwendet. Die Zusatzgewichte werden am rückwärtigen Teil des Putterkopfes, auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Putterschlagfläche bzw. dem Angriffspunkt des Schaftes, angebracht.The putter is used in golf for puttering the ball on the green or putt. The putter usually consists of a putter head and a shaft with a handle. The individual parts of the putter are firmly connected. A mass displacement in the putter head is achieved in that the mass of the putter head itself is selected low and the mass of one or more additional weights as large as possible. The putter head itself is therefore made of a material with a low specific gravity, preferably light metal, for the additional weights a metal with a higher specific gravity is used. The additional weights are attached to the rear part of the putter head, on the opposite side of the putter striking surface or the point of application of the shaft.

Es sind unterschiedliche Ausführungsvarianten von Putterköpfen bekannt, die es gestatten, unterschiedliche Gewichte in austauschbarer Weise anzubringen. Ein derartiger Putterkopf ist beispielsweise aus der US 2006/0154740 A1 bekannt. Dabei können Gewichte in variabler Anzahl an zwei parallel angeordneten Bolzen in wählbarer Längsposition angebracht werden, um derart nicht nur das Puttergewicht sondern auch den Putterschwerpunkt verändern bzw. einstellen zu können. Aus der WO 2006/071606 A2 ist ein Putterkopf bekannt, welcher einen aus einem Material mit geringem spezifischen Gewicht, beispielsweise Aluminium, gefertigten Basisteil aufweist, an welchem, an dem der Schlagfläche entferntesten Teil, unterschiedliche Gewichte anbringbar sind, sodass der Gewichtsschwerpunkt möglichst weit weg von der Schlagfläche verlagert werden kann.There are different variants of putter heads known, which allow to attach different weights in an exchangeable manner. Such a putter head is for example from the US 2006/0154740 A1 known. In this case, weights can be mounted in a variable number of two parallel bolts in selectable longitudinal position, so as to be able to change or adjust not only the putter weight but also the center of putter. From the WO 2006/071606 A2 a putter head is known, which one of a material having a low specific weight, such as aluminum, manufactured base part, on which, on the impact surface of the farthest part, different weights are attached, so that the center of gravity can be moved as far away from the club face.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Golfschlägerkopf, insbesondere einen Putterkopf derart auszuführen, dass die Schwerpunktverlagerung und Gewichtsverteilung des Kopfes auf eine variablere Weise möglich ist als bei den bekannten Systemen.The invention is based on the object, a golf club head, in particular to perform a putter head such that the center of gravity displacement and weight distribution of the head is possible in a more variable manner than in the known systems.

Gelöst wird die gestellte Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch, dass die Einrichtung zwei einander berührungslos kreuzende Elemente aufweist, an deren freien Endabschnitten Gewichte anbringbar sind.The object is achieved according to the invention in that the device has two contactlessly intersecting elements, at the free end portions weights are attached.

Bei einem erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Golfschlägerkopf ist es möglich, auf einfache Weise den Gewichtsschwerpunkt des Kopfes sowohl von der Schlagfläche weg als auch in seitlicher Richtung zu verlagern. Gleichzeitig lässt sich das Gesamtgewicht des Kopfes in einem weiten Bereich variieren.In a golf club head embodied according to the invention, it is possible in a simple manner to shift the center of gravity of the head both away from the clubface and in the lateral direction. At the same time, the total weight of the head can be varied within a wide range.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die einander berührungslos kreuzenden Elemente zwei Bügel. Ein derart ausgeführter Golfschlägerkopf ist besonders unempfindlich gegen ein Verdrehen, wenn seine Schlagfläche seitlich des Sweetspots getroffen wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the non-contact elements crossing two stirrups. Such a golf club head is particularly insensitive to twisting when its club face is hit laterally of the sweet spot.

Besonders gut lässt sich der Golfschlägerkopf dann gewichtsmäßig austarieren, wenn die einander berührungslos kreuzenden Elemente bzw. Bügel aus einem insbesondere geraden Mittelabschnitt und aus von diesem unter stumpfen Winkeln abragenden Endabschnitten besteht.The golf club head can be balanced out in terms of weight particularly well if the elements or brackets which contact one another in a contactless manner consist of a straight middle section in particular and of end sections protruding from it at obtuse angles.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung sind die einander berührungslos kreuzenden Elemente bzw. Bügel mit ihren anderen Endabschnitten an der Rückseite des Schlagteils befestigt. Diese Maßnahme verleiht dem Golfschlägerkopf eine kompakte Bauweise und unterstützt eine komfortable Handhabung des Golfschlägers.According to a further feature of the invention, the non-contact crossing elements or straps are fastened with their other end portions on the back of the striker. This measure gives the golf club head a compact design and supports comfortable handling of the golf club.

Die beiden Bügel lassen sich ohne gegenseitigen Höhenversatz auf besonders einfache Weise dann anordnen, wenn jeder Bügel im Kreuzungsbereich zum anderen Bügel mit einer Vertiefung versehen ist, sodass die beiden Bügel im Bereich ihrer Vertiefungen berührungslos ineinander greifen können.The two brackets can be arranged without mutual height offset in a particularly simple manner, when each bracket is provided in the crossing region to the other bracket with a recess, so that the two brackets can interact with each other without contact in the region of their wells.

Weitere Gewichte zum Ausbalancieren des Golfschlägerkopfes bzw. zum Schwerpunktverlagern lassen sich problemlos an den seitlichen Enden des Schlagteils austauschbar anbringen. Das Austauschen von Gewichten unterschiedlicher Größe ist dann besonders einfach, wenn die Gewichte in der Art von Schrauben ausgeführt und anbringbar sind.Additional weights for balancing the golf club head or for shifting the center of gravity can easily be exchangeably attached to the lateral ends of the striking part. The exchange of weights of different sizes is particularly simple if the weights are designed and attachable in the manner of screws.

Die Erfindung betrifft ferner einen Golfschläger, insbesondere einen Golfputter, mit einem erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Kopf.The invention further relates to a golf club, in particular a golf putter, with a head designed according to the invention.

Die Zeichnungsfiguren zeigen ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines zusammengebauten Golfputterkopfes 1, welcher einen länglichen platten- oder stabförmigen Schlagteil 2 mit einer Schlagfläche 2a an einer Längsseite aufweist. An der Oberseite des Schlagteils 2 ist eine Buchse 4 zur Aufnahme und Befestigung eines nicht dargestellten Schlägerschaftes vorgesehen. An den seitlichen Endabschnitten der der Schlagfläche 2a gegenüberliegenden Rückseite 2c des Schlagteils 2 sind Öffnungen 2d zum Einsetzen von kurzen Endabschnitten 3a zweier Bügel 3 ausgebildet. Die beiden übereinstimmend ausgeführten Bügel 3 weisen lange Mittelabschnitte 3b und weitere kurze, aber freie Endabschnitte 3c auf. Die Bügel 3 kreuzen einander im Bereich ihrer Mittelabschnitte 3b, die von den Endabschnitten 3a unter einem stumpfen Winkel abragen. Die freien Endabschnitte 3c ragen von den Mittelabschnitten 3b ebenfalls unter stumpfen Winkeln und etwa parallel zum Schlagteil 2 ab. Jeder Bügel 3 weist an seinem Mittelabschnitt 3b eine Vertiefung 3d auf, sodass die beiden Bügel 3 ohne gegenseitigen Höhenversatz kreuzend angeordnet werden können, wobei im Kreuzungsbereich keine gegenseitige Berührung der Bügel 3 erfolgt. Am freien Endabschnitt 3c jedes Bügels 3 lassen sich jeweils unterschiedlich schwere Gewichte 7 austauschbar anschrauben.The drawing figures show an embodiment of an assembled golf putter head 1, which has an elongated plate-shaped or rod-shaped striking part 2 with a striking surface 2a on one longitudinal side. At the top of the percussion part 2, a socket 4 is provided for receiving and fixing a racket shaft, not shown. At the lateral end portions of the rear face 2c of the striking part 2 opposite the striking face 2a, openings 2d for inserting short end sections 3a of two brackets 3 are formed. The two matching arms 3 have long middle sections 3b and further short but free end sections 3c. The brackets 3 intersect each other in the region of their central portions 3b, which protrude from the end portions 3a at an obtuse angle. The free end portions 3c protrude from the middle sections 3b also at obtuse angles and approximately parallel to the impact part 2 from. Each bracket 3 has at its central portion 3b a recess 3d, so that the two brackets 3 can be arranged crossing each other without mutual height offset, wherein in the crossing region no mutual contact of the bracket 3 takes place. At the free end portion 3c of each bracket 3 can each be different weights 7 screwed interchangeable.

An den Stirnflächen 2b des Schlagteils 2 sind ebenfalls unterschiedlich schwere Gewichte 9 austauschbar anschraubbar, wobei die Gewichte 9 gleichzeitig zum Befestigen der Bügel 3 vorgesehen sein können, indem sie Gewindebohrungen in deren Endabschnitten 3a durchsetzen.At the end faces 2 b of the percussion part 2 weights of different weights 9 are also exchangeably screwed, wherein the weights 9 can be provided simultaneously for fixing the bracket 3 by passing through threaded holes in the end portions 3 a.

Durch die Gewichte 7, 9 lässt sich einerseits eine seitliche Balancierung des Putterkopfes 1 und andererseits eine Verlagerung des Schwerpunktes des Putterkopfes nach rückwärts Richtung der freien Endabschnitte 3c der Bügel 3 vornehmen. Bei einem erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Putterkopf 1 kann somit das Gesamtgewicht des Putterkopfes 1 beeinflusst bzw. eingestellt werden und der Schwerpunkt in die erwünschte Richtung verlagert werden.By the weights 7, 9 can be on the one hand a lateral balancing of the putter head 1 and on the other hand make a shift of the center of gravity of the putter head to the rearward direction of the free end portions 3c of the bracket 3. In a putter head 1 designed according to the invention, the total weight of the putter head 1 can thus be influenced or adjusted and the center of gravity can be displaced in the desired direction.

Der besondere Vorteil der gekreuzt, aber berührungslos angeordneten Bügel 3 ist die merkliche Unempfindlichkeit des Putterkopfes gegen Verdrehen, wenn seine Schlagfläche seitlich des Sweetspots (des Zentrums) getroffen wird.The particular advantage of the crossed, but non-contact bracket 3 is the noticeable insensitivity of the putter head against twisting when his clubface is hit laterally of the sweet spot (the center).

Der Vorteil der Ausbalancierung des Putterkopfes ist auch bei Ausführungen gegeben, bei denen sich die beiden Bügel 3 berühren oder bei denen die Bügel im Kreuzungsbereich miteinander verbunden sind. Anstelle zweier Bügel kann daher auch ein Bauteil mit X-förmig angeordneten Bestandteilen vorgesehen sein.The advantage of balancing the putter head is also given in versions in which touch the two brackets 3 or in which the brackets are connected to each other in the crossing area. Instead of two brackets, therefore, a component with X-shaped components may also be provided.

Die Bügel 3 werden bevorzugt aus einem metallischen Werkstoff, insbesondere einer Titanlegierung, hergestellt und weisen vorzugsweise einen kreisrunden oder quadratischen Querschnitt auf. Im Kreuzungsbereich sollte der gegenseitige Abstand zwischen den beiden Bügeln 3 zwischen 2 mm und 5 mm betragen, um bei den im Gebrauch auftretenden Schwingungen des Putterkopfes 1 Berührungen der Bügel 3 zu vermeiden.The brackets 3 are preferably made of a metallic material, in particular a titanium alloy, and preferably have a circular or square cross-section. In the crossing region, the mutual distance between the two brackets 3 should be between 2 mm and 5 mm in order to avoid contact with the brackets 3 during the oscillations of the putter head 1 that occur during use.

Die Erfindung ist auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel nicht eingeschränkt. So ist es insbesondere möglich, die beiden Bügel 3 auf andere Weise kreuzend anzuordnen, beispielsweise durch Durchstecken.The invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. Thus, it is in particular possible to arrange the two brackets 3 crossing in another way, for example by insertion.
