Abstract
LA PRESENTE INVENTION CONCERNE UNE TETE OU FER DE CLUB DE GOLF CONSTITUEE PAR UNE PLURALITE DE COUCHES DE BOIS LAMIFIEES 15-16 ET UNE PLURALITE DE COUCHES DE FIBRES IMPREGNEES DE RESINE 17 DISPOSEES ENTRE LESDITES COUCHES DE BOIS. CONFORMEMENT A L'INVENTION CHACUNE DESDITES COUCHES DE BOIS EST MUNIE DE SURFACES D'EMPRISE 14 VENANT EN PRISE PAR EMBOITEMENT AVEC D'AUTRES COUCHES DE BOIS. CETTE CONSTRUCTION DONNE UN CLUB DE GOLF AYANT LA LEGERETE DU BOIS ET UNE TENACITE ANALOGUE A L'ACIER.THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A GOLF CLUB HEAD OR IRON CONSTITUTED BY A PLURALITY OF LAYERS OF LAMIFIED WOOD 15-16 AND A PLURALITY OF LAYERS OF RESIN IMPREGNATED FIBERS 17 ARRANGED BETWEEN SAID LAYERS OF WOOD. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INVENTION EACH OF THE SAID LAYERS OF WOOD IS PROVIDED WITH TAKE-IN SURFACES 14 COMING INTO TAKING WITH OTHER LAYERS OF WOOD. THIS CONSTRUCTION PROVIDES A GOLF CLUB WITH THE LIGHTNESS OF WOOD AND ANALOGUE TENACITY TO STEEL.
Description
Perfectionnement à la construction des têtes de clubs de golf. La présenteImprovement in the construction of golf club heads. The current
invention concerne la fabrication des clubs de golf, particulièrement une construction perfectionnée d'une The invention relates to the manufacture of golf clubs, particularly an improved construction of a

Il existe des têtes de club de golf de constructions diverses, Les premiers clubs de golf étaient réalisés en bois, ce qui donnait des clubs peu solides et qui n'étaient pas très tenaT ces mais cette fabrication est encore utilisée en raison de la légèreté. Un tel matériau ne.convient pas pour les coups There are golf club heads of various constructions. The first golf clubs were made of wood, which gave clubs that were not very solid and which were not very strong, but this manufacture is still used because of the lightness. Such material is not suitable for blows

Each of the wood planks has contact surfaces that engage the surfaces of the other layers of wood. The engaging surfaces comprise a plurality of spaced-apart protruding strips 14 extending from one end of the head II to one end of the narrowed portion 12 in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the blow formed. on the inner surfaces of the outer layers 15 and on both surfaces of the layers
