Description

La présente invention concerne un grip amovible adaptable aux grips existants des clubs de golf selon le préambule de la revendication 1, et en particulier adapté à la position correcte des doigts des deux mains du joueur en train de se mettre à l'adresse, c'est-à-dire lorsque celles-ci tiennent un club de golf pendant la préparation et l'exécution du swing.The present invention relates to a removable grip adaptable to the existing grips of golf clubs according to the preamble of claim 1, and in particular adapted to the correct position of the fingers of both hands of the player being put to the address, it that is to say when they hold a golf club during the preparation and execution of the swing.

Les clubs de golf comportent de manière connue une extrémité alourdie munie d'une face d'attaque de la balle, une tige de diamètre variable se terminant par un manche, généralement revêtu d'un matériau antidérapant et quelquefois repéré par au moins une ligne de repérage allant de l'extrémité inférieure du matériau antidérapant jusqu'à l'extrémité du club opposée à l'extrémité alourdie.Golf clubs comprise, in known manner, a weighted end provided with an attack face of the ball, a rod of variable diameter ending in a handle, generally coated with a non-slip material and sometimes marked with at least one line of location from the end bottom of the non-slip material to the end of the club opposite the weighted end.

Il est connu que les enseignants de ce sport utilisent dans leur panoplie un ustensile utile aux débutants, mais à eux seulement, ustensile comportant un manche ou grip garni de creux correspondant aux positions optimales des doigts des deux mains, et, de façon complémentaire, de renflements correspondant aux intervalles interdigitaux, ci-après appelés nervures.It is known that teachers of this sport use in their panoply utensil useful for beginners, but only them, utensil comprising a handle or grip furnished with hollows corresponding to the optimal positions of the fingers of both hands, and, in a complementary manner, bulges corresponding to the interdigital intervals, hereinafter called ribs.

Ces ustensiles ne sont utilisés que lors des tout premiers cours, le professeur passant rapidement aux exercices, dit de practice, effectués avec de vrais clubs à grip classique constitués d'un manche revêtu d'un matériau antidérapant, puis aux exercices sur parcours réel.These utensils are only used during the very first lessons, the professor quickly passing to the exercises, called practice, carried out with real clubs with classic grip consisting of a handle coated with a non-slip material, then to the exercises on real course.

Ceci présente des inconvénients pour les joueurs débutants:

  • apprentissage trop succinct ou incomplet de la position correcte des doigts,
  • prise de mauvaises habitudes une fois les premiers cours oubliés ou imparfaitement assimilés,
  • diminution résultante des performances avec tous les clubs à grip classique constitués d'un manche revêtu d'un matériau antidérapant.
This has disadvantages for beginners:
  • too brief or incomplete learning of the correct position of the fingers,
  • taking bad habits once the first lessons are forgotten or imperfectly assimilated,
  • resulting decrease in performance with all classic grip clubs consisting of a handle coated with a non-slip material.

Le document US-1,664,257 (McCullough) décrit un procédé pour transformer un club de golf à grip lisse normal en un grip avec creux et nervures adaptés à la position des doigts. Cependant, ce procédé nécessite le sacrifice d'un club en vue de remplacer le grip de façon définitive, ce qui est un inconvénient. Les grips de golf amovibles venant sur un grip lisse, tel celui décrit dans les documents US-4,869,511 ou 4,878,667 visent d'autres buts, comme par exemple d'alourdir ou protéger le grip, et ne contribuent pas à une meilleure position des doigts.Document US-1,664,257 (McCullough) describes a method for transforming a golf club with a normal smooth grip into a grip with hollows and ribs adapted to the position of the fingers. However, this process requires the sacrifice of a club in order to permanently replace the grip, which is a drawback. Removable golf grips coming on a smooth grip, such as that described in documents US Pat.

L'invention se propose de remédier à ces inconvénients par les moyens décrits dans la revendication 1.The invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks by the means described in claim 1.

L'adjonction, au grip classique d'un club, d'un grip supplémentaire amovible présentant les creux et nervures adaptés à la prise automatique d'une position correcte par le joueur se mettant à l'adresse permet à ce joueur de conserver sans effort de mémoire la position apprise lors des premiers cours, jusqu'à la prise définitive d'habitudes correctes de position des mains sur le grip classique des clubs, avec ou sans le grip amovible objet de la présente invention.The addition, to the classic grip of a club, of an additional removable grip presenting the hollows and ribs adapted to the automatic taking of a correct position by the player getting to the address allows this player to keep effortlessly from memory the position learned during the first lessons, until the final correct habits of position of the hands on the classic grip of clubs, with or without the removable grip object of the present invention.

Il est apparent que l'avantage de l'invention est notamment l'amélioration définitive à long terme des performances du joueur, ainsi que la réduction des frais de cours pour le joueur et, pour le professeur, une économie de temps et des efforts pédagogiques.It is apparent that the advantage of the invention is notably the definitive long-term improvement in player performance, as well as the reduction in course costs for the player and, for the professor, a saving of time and educational efforts. .

L'augmentation de diamètre du grip résultant de l'adjonction du grip amovible objet de l'invention est sans inconvénient du point de vue du confort du joueur.The increase in diameter of the grip resulting from the addition of the removable grip object of the invention is without disadvantage from the point of view of the comfort of the player.

D'autres réalisations sont décrites dans les revendications annexées à la présente demande.Other embodiments are described in the claims appended to the present application.

On pourra prévoir plusieurs modèles de forme de grip amovible, adaptés chacun à la taille, au sexe, à la latéralisation et plus généralement aux paramètres physiologiques du joueur influant sur la forme des mains et à leur position sur le grip.Several models of removable grip shape may be provided, each adapted to the size, gender, lateralization and more generally to the physiological parameters of the player influencing the shape of the hands and their position on the grip.

On pourra prévoir l'utilisation d'une matière plastique semi-rigide pour le grip amovible objet de l'invention, de façon à pouvoir le plaquer convenablement sur le grip classique si celui-ci est de diamètre variable; à cet effet, le diamètre intérieur du grip amovible peut être légèrement inférieur au diamètre extérieur du grip existant classique.Provision may be made for the use of a semi-rigid plastic material for the removable grip which is the subject of the invention, so that it can be pressed properly onto the conventional grip if the latter is of variable diameter; for this purpose, the inside diameter of the removable grip may be slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the conventional existing grip.

Le grip amovible selon l'invention peut être réalisé de préférence sous deux formes:

  • d'une seule pièce, présentant une fente longitudinale selon la ligne de repérage et pouvant s'ouvrir suffisamment pour être enclipsée sur la partie du club où la tige est de diamètre le plus faible, pour être ensuite amenée par coulissement, la fente étant toujours maintenue ouverte, jusqu'à la position prévue pour le grip amovible sur le grip classique existant.
  • en deux parties constituant deux demi-coques, éventuellement réunies à leur extrémité par une liaison souple ou pivotante, ou à défaut comprenant des ergots pour assurer une position adéquate de chaque demi-coque l'une par rapport à l'autre, et éventuellement par rapport au grip classique existant. Dans cette forme de réalisation de l'invention, le grip amovible est mis en place directement sur le grip classique existant, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de l'introduire sur la tige du club sur sa partie de diamètre le plus faible.
The removable grip according to the invention can preferably be produced in two forms:
  • in one piece, having a longitudinal slot along the marking line and capable of opening sufficiently to be clipped onto the part of the club where the rod is of the smallest diameter, to then be brought in by sliding, the slot being always kept open, up to the position provided for the removable grip on the existing classic grip.
  • in two parts constituting two half-shells, possibly joined at their end by a flexible or pivoting connection, or failing this comprising lugs to ensure an adequate position of each half-shell with respect to each other, and optionally by compared to the existing classic grip. In this embodiment of the invention, the removable grip is placed directly on the existing conventional grip, without it being necessary to introduce it on the rod of the club on its portion of smallest diameter.

Dans les deux formes de réalisation de l'invention, le grip amovible est arrimé au grip classique existant, de façon à empêcher tout mouvement relatif par rapport à ce grip classique existant, par des moyens de fixation connus en soi.In the two embodiments of the invention, the removable grip is secured to the existing conventional grip, so as to prevent any relative movement with respect to this existing conventional grip, by fixing means known per se.

Ces moyens de fixation peuvent notamment être un système dans lequel une bande velcro, fixée par l'une de ses extrémités au grip amovible, par exemple dans sa partie inférieure, peut s'enrouler autour de l'ensemble constitué par le grip classique existant et le grip amovible une fois celui-ci mis en place.These fixing means can in particular be a system in which a velcro strip, fixed by one of its ends to the removable grip, for example in its lower part, can be wrapped around the assembly formed by the existing conventional grip and the removable grip once it is in place.

Ces moyens peuvent aussi faire intervenir un serrage par crampons analogue à celui utilisé dans la fermeture des chaussures de ski, que l'on va détailler ci-après.These means can also involve clamping by studs similar to that used in the closure of ski boots, which will be detailed below.

Ce système de serrage par crampon est constitué d'un dispositif à arc-boutement d'une languette sur une encoche, permettant, au moment du serrage et par un simple mouvement de la main, de mettre sous une certaine pression l'organe entouré par ce dispositif.This clamp clamping system consists of a device for bracing a tongue on a notch, allowing, at the moment of clamping and by a simple movement of the hand, to put under a certain pressure the member surrounded by these measures.

Cette pression peut être variable comme dans le cas des crampons de chaussures de ski, qui présentent de manière connue une possibilité de réglage du serrage de la chaussure de par la multiplicité des encoches prévues.This pressure can be variable as in the case of ski boot cleats, which in known manner have a possibility of adjusting the tightening of the boot by the multiplicity of the notches provided.

Elle peut aussi être unique lorsqu'il n'existe qu'une seule languette et une seule encoche d'arc-boutement. Un autre moyen connu de serrage faisant appel à ce même principe avec position serrée unique, sans réglage, est le mécanisme de fermeture de récipients hermétiques, tels que gourde de randonnée ou bocal à confitures, par la compression d'une rondelle élastique entre un couvercle et le récipient.It can also be unique when there is only one tab and a single bracing notch. Another known means of tightening using this same principle with a unique tight position, without adjustment, is the mechanism for closing hermetic containers, such as hiking bottles or jam jars, by compressing an elastic washer between a cover. and the container.

Dans une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, le grip amovible sera d'une seule pièce avec fente longitudinale, avec un crampon unique serrant sa partie inférieure une fois en place sur le manche.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the removable grip will be in one piece with a longitudinal slot, with a single clamp tightening its lower part once in place on the handle.

Parmi d'autres moyens de serrage possibles, citons les colliers de serrage de tuyaux ou les taquets de type clams dans les équipements d'accastillage de voiliers.Other possible clamping means include pipe clamps or clam-type cleats in sailboat fittings.

On pourra choisir de préférence des moyens à faible encombrement en position "serré", de manière à ne pas entraîner d'aspérités indésirables sur le club ni à occasionner des éraflures sur des surfaces sensibles.We can preferably choose space-saving means in the "tight" position, so as not to cause unwanted roughness on the club or to cause scratches on sensitive surfaces.

Un autre moyen de serrage pourra consister en au moins une bague, éventuellement plus ou moins conique, venant s'adapter sur l'une au moins des extrémités du grip amovible, de dimensions telles que le grip amovible se trouve serré suffisamment fort sur le grip classique existant pour éviter tout mouvement relatif par rapport à ce grip classique existant pendant le swing. Cette bague pourra être munie d'un filetage intérieur, épousant un filet extérieur sur la ou les partie(s) correspondante(s) du grip classique existant, ainsi que d'un moletage permettant son serrage sans outil. Ce moyen de serrage a pour avantage, après serrage, une symétrie parfaite par rapport à l'axe du club, ce qui garantit l'absence d'aspérités.Another tightening means could consist of at least one ring, possibly more or less conical, fitting onto at least one of the ends of the removable grip, of dimensions such that the removable grip is tightened sufficiently tightly on the grip existing classic to avoid any relative movement compared to this existing classic grip during the swing. This ring may be provided with an internal thread, matching an external thread on the corresponding part or parts of the existing conventional grip, as well as a knurling allowing its tightening without tools. This clamping means has the advantage, after tightening, of perfect symmetry with respect to the axis of the club, which guarantees the absence of roughness.

Dans une forme spéciale de réalisation de l'invention en deux demi-coques, on pourra articuler les deux demi-coques en une mâchoire destinée à se refermer sur le grip classique existant. De cette façon, en positionnant l'extrémité de l'une des demi-coques contre l'extrémité du grip classique existant, cette demi-coque faisant un certain angle avec le grip classique existant, il est avantageux de pouvoir insérer l'extrémité de la deuxième demi-coque dans celle de la première, par-dessus la même extrémité du grip classique existant, puis fermer les deux demi-coques sur le grip classique existant et enfin amener une bague de serrage unique, préalablement enfilée sur la tige du club par le grip classique existant, en position de serrage des deux extrémités encore libres des deux demi-coques, lesquelles se trouvent ainsi plaquées en position contre le grip classique existant. Il est évident que le diamètre intérieur de cette bague devra être supérieur au diamètre maximal du grip classique existant, qui se trouve à son extrémité dans les clubs classiques, dans le but de pouvoir l'enfiler au préalable sur la tige du club.In a special embodiment of the invention in two half-shells, it is possible to articulate the two half-shells in a jaw intended to close on the existing conventional grip. In this way, by positioning the end of one of the half-shells against the end of the existing conventional grip, this half-shell making a certain angle with the existing conventional grip, it is advantageous to be able to insert the end of the second half-shell in that of the first, over the same end of the existing classic grip, then close the two half-shells on the existing classic grip and finally bring a single clamping ring, previously threaded on the rod of the club by the existing conventional grip, in the clamping position of the two still free ends of the two half-shells, which are thus pressed into position against the existing conventional grip. It is obvious that the inside diameter of this ring must be greater than the maximum diameter of the existing classic grip, which is at its end in classic clubs, in order to be able to put it on the club rod beforehand.

On pourra aussi prévoir deux bagues, l'une venant serrer les extrémités des deux demi-coques proches de l'extrémité du grip classique existant, et l'autre venant serrer les deux autres extrémités comme décrit ci-dessus. Cette denière réalisation de l'invention est illustrée dans les dessins.It is also possible to provide two rings, one coming to clamp the ends of the two half-shells close to the end of the existing classic grip, and the other coming to tighten the other two ends as described above. This last embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings.

On comprendra mieux les avantages de l'invention par référence aux dessins détaillés ci-après, dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'une forme de réalisation en une seule pièce, avec le crampon prêt à être enfilé sur la partie inférieure,
  • la figure 2 représente la même vue d'une forme de réalisation en deux demi-coques et double bague de serrage,

  • Figure 5 shows the embodiment already shown in Figure 1, but with a clamping system made of velcro tape.
  • Figure 6 shows the same embodiment as that of Figure 5, seen in cross section.

La figure 1 montre un exemple de grip amovible réalisé d'une seule pièce 2, comportant des creux ou renflements 3, ainsi qu'une fente 4 venant sur la ligne de repérage du grip classique existant du club.
A l'extrémité inférieure du grip amovible 2, correspondant au côté inférieur du grip classique existant, est prévue une partie 6 de plus faible diamètre extérieur, de façon à pouvoir recevoir un crampon 13. L'extrémité supérieure 7 vient sur l'extrémité du grip classique existant.Figure 1 shows an example of removable grip made in one piece 2, having recesses or bulges 3, as well as a slot 4 coming on the marking line of the existing classic grip of the club.
At the lower end of the removable grip 2, corresponding to the lower side of the existing conventional grip, is provided a portion 6 of smaller outside diameter, so as to be able to receive a crampon 13. The upper end 7 comes on the end of the existing classic grip.

La figure 2 montre un exemple de grip amovible réalisé en deux demi-coques 8 et 9. La demi-coque supérieure 8 comprend elle aussi une partie inférieure 10 de plus faible diamètre extérieur. Cette partie inférieure 10, avec son homologue de la demi-coque 9 reçoit la bague 5. Dans cet exemple, une partie supérieure 11 située à l'extrémité du grip classique existant est serrée sur cette extrémité au moyen de la bague 12.FIG. 2 shows an example of a removable grip produced in two half-shells 8 and 9. The upper half-shell 8 also comprises a lower part 10 of smaller diameter outside. This lower part 10, with its counterpart of the half-shell 9 receives the ring 5. In this example, an upper part 11 located at the end of the existing conventional grip is tightened on this end by means of the ring 12.

La figure 3 montre en coupe longitudinale le grip amovible 2 une fois monté sur le grip classique existant 1 du club. La bague 5 empêche tout mouvement relatif, et en particulier toute rotation, entre le grip amovible 2 et le grip classique existant 1.Figure 3 shows in longitudinal section the removable grip 2 once mounted on the existing classic grip 1 of the club. The ring 5 prevents any relative movement, and in particular any rotation, between the removable grip 2 and the existing conventional grip 1.

La figure 4 montre en coupe transversale selon A-A le grip classique existant 1 du club, dans lequel le crampon 13, en position fermée, maintient la partie inférieure 6 de la figure 1. La position 14 montre en pointillé le mécanisme d'ouverture du crampon 13.Figure 4 shows in cross section along AA the existing classic grip 1 of the club, in which the crampon 13, in the closed position, holds the lower part 6 of Figure 1. Position 14 shows in dotted line the mechanism for opening the crampon 13.

La figure 5 montre un grip amovible réalisé d'une seule pièce, comprenant à son extrémité inférieure 6, de diamètre élargi, un étrier 15 dans lequel est glissée une bande velcro 16. L'une des extrémités 17 de cette bande est en biseau pour faciliter son introduction dans un collier 18 accroché à son autre extrémité. La longueur de la bande 16 est sensiblement le double de la circonférence de l'extrémité 6, et partagée en deux parties, la première, par exemple celle la plus proche de la boucle, étant revêtue de la qualité "vel" du velcro, constituée par des boucles fermées, et la seconde, par exemple celle du côté de l'extrémité 17, étant revêtue de la même longueur de qualité "cro" du velcro, constituée de crochets ouverts venant s'agripper dans les boucles. De cette façon, lorsqu'on serre le grip amovible en tirant sur l'extrémité 17, la boucle 18 servant de treuil, toute la circonférence de l'extrémité 6 est recouverte de la qualité "vel" sur laquelle va venir s'accrocher la qualité "cro" sur un nouveau tour de circonférence.FIG. 5 shows a removable grip made in one piece, comprising at its lower end 6, of enlarged diameter, a stirrup 15 into which a velcro strip 16 is slid. One of the ends 17 of this strip is bevelled to facilitate its introduction into a collar 18 attached to its other end. The length of the strip 16 is substantially double the circumference of the end 6, and divided into two parts, the first, for example the one closest to the loop, being coated with the "vel" quality of the velcro, constituted by closed loops, and the second, for example that on the side of the end 17, being coated with the same length of "cro" quality of velcro, consisting of open hooks coming to grip in the loops. In this way, when the removable grip is tightened by pulling on the end 17, the loop 18 serving as a winch, the entire circumference of the end 6 is covered with the "vel" quality on which the "cro" quality on a new circumference.

La figure 6 montre le grip amovible serré sur un grip classique existant non représenté.Figure 6 shows the removable grip tight on an existing conventional grip not shown.

Il est bien entendu que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes de réalisation représentées dans les dessins.It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings.
