402,079. Golf clubs. WILLIAMSON, E., Wollaton Park Golf Club, Nottingham. May 18, 1932, No. 14182. [Class 132 (ii).] A golf club has its head weighted by two separate weights, one disposed at or near the top face of the club head and the other at or near the sole of the club head. The head 10 of the golf club has a hole bored vertically through it from top face to sole at or near the centre of gravity. Recesses are formed in the top face and sole of the club head at the ends of the vertical hole and in the top recess is snugly fitted a brass or other metal plate 12 lying flush with the top face of the club head. A screw-threaded pin 13 is integrally fixed to the underside of the plate 12 or to a depending boss portion thereon and extends downwardly through the vertical hole to receive on its screw-threaded end a nut or internally screwthreaded disc 14 located in the recess in the sole of the club head. The pin 13 is located approximately midway between the heel and toe of the club head and in substantial alignment in plan with the centre line of the shaft. The thickness of the plate 12 and/or of the disc 14 can be varied to vary the load at the top and/or sole of the club head. The load at the top can alternatively bo varied by employing a plurality of washer-like plates. The upper face of the plate 12 is slightly domed to be flush with the upper face of the club head and the nut 14 is preferably circular and is tightened up by providing diametrically opposed perforations therein adapted to be engaged by a suitable turning tool, e.g. in the construction shown holes 15 are engaged by a pin-spanner. A brass or other metal sole plate 16 may be fitted on the club head to cover the nut 14. Specification 331,599, [Class 132 (ii), Games], is referred to.
