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.
