Description

"Bastone da golf a struttura perfezionata" "Improved Structure Golf Club"

La presente invenzione si riferisce ad un bastone da golf avente testa con innovativa struttura. The present invention refers to a golf club having a head with an innovative structure.

Nella realizzazione di bastoni da golf rivestono grandissima importanza le caratteristiche di elasticità, isteresi e resistenza meccanica della testa. The characteristics of elasticity, hysteresis and mechanical resistance of the head are of great importance in the production of golf clubs.

Solitamente le teste vengono forgiate in acciaio o leghe similari. Purtroppo, caratteristiche di impatto (quali l’isteresi) risultano sostanzialmente incompatibili con altre caratteristiche meccaniche, quali la resistenza meccanica. Usually the heads are forged in steel or similar alloys. Unfortunately, impact characteristics (such as hysteresis) are substantially incompatible with other mechanical characteristics, such as mechanical strength.

Scopo generale della presente invenzione è ovviare agli inconvenienti sopra menzionati fornendo un bastone da golf che abbia testa dotata di elevate caratteristiche di impatto (quali elevata ed ottimale isteresi) pure avendo caratteristiche di resistenza meccanica adeguata. The general purpose of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a golf club which has a head equipped with high impact characteristics (such as high and optimal hysteresis) while having characteristics of adequate mechanical strength.

In vista di tale scopo si è pensato di realizzare, secondo l'invenzione, un bastone da golf comprendente una canna e una testa, la testa essendo formata da un corpo nel quale è inglobato un inserto genericamente sagomato ad L e avente braccio superiore della L che sporge dal corpo per realizzare elemento di fissaggio fra canna e testa. Sempre secondo l’invenzione, è stato trovato eccezionalmente vantaggioso che il corpo sia realizzato in argento. In view of this purpose, according to the invention, it was thought to produce a golf club comprising a barrel and a head, the head being formed by a body in which a generically L-shaped insert is incorporated and having an upper arm of the L which protrudes from the body to create a fastening element between the barrel and the head. Still according to the invention, it was found exceptionally advantageous for the body to be made of silver.

Per rendere più chiara la spiegazione dei principi innovativi della presente invenzione ed i suoi vantaggi rispetto alla tecnica nota si descriverà di seguito, con l'aiuto dei disegni allegati, una possibile realizzazione esemplificativa applicante tali principi. Nei disegni: To clarify the explanation of the innovative principles of the present invention and its advantages with respect to the known art, a possible exemplary embodiment applying these principles will be described below, with the help of the attached drawings. In the drawings:

-figura 1 rappresenta una vista posteriore della parte di testa di un bastone da golf secondo l’invenzione; -figure 1 represents a rear view of the head part of a golf club according to the invention;

-figura 2 rappresenta una vista presa lungo la linea II-II di figura 1 ; figure 2 represents a view taken along the line II-II of figure 1;

-figura 3 rappresenta una vista presa lungo la linea III-III di figura 1. figure 3 represents a view taken along the line III-III of figure 1.

Con riferimento alle figure, in esse è mostrato, indicato genericamente con 10, un bastone da golf realizzato secondo l’invenzione e comprendente una canna 11 e una testa 12. With reference to the figures, they show, generically indicated with 10, a golf club made according to the invention and comprising a barrel 11 and a head 12.

La testa è formata da un corpo 13 nel quale è inglobato un inserto 14 genericamente sagomato ad L. L’inserto 14 ha braccio superiore della L 15 che sporge dal corpo 13 della testa per realizzare l’elemento di fissaggio fra canna e testa. Per tale scopo il braccio 15 termina vantaggiosamente con un bicchiere di raccordo 16. The head is formed by a body 13 in which an insert 14 generically L-shaped is incorporated. The insert 14 has an upper arm of the L 15 that protrudes from the body 13 of the head to create the fastening element between the barrel and the head. For this purpose, the arm 15 advantageously ends with a connecting socket 16.

L’inserto 14 è realizzato in materiale avente resistenza meccanica maggiore di quella del materiale realizzante il corpo. Per contro, il corpo è realizzato con materiale avente isteresi elevata. The insert 14 is made of material with mechanical resistance greater than that of the material making the body. On the other hand, the body is made of material having high hysteresis.

In particolare, è stato sorprendentemente trovato eccezionalmente vantaggioso per realizzare il corpo l’uso di argento. L’inserto è così inglobato nella fusione della testa in argento In particular, the use of silver was surprisingly found to be exceptionally advantageous for making the body. The insert is thus incorporated into the casting of the silver head

Si sono invece trovate caratteristiche meccaniche vantaggiose usando titanio per la realizzazione dell’inserto. On the other hand, advantageous mechanical characteristics have been found using titanium to make the insert.

Un bastone così composto acquista caratteristiche di precisione e potenza di tiro che sono state giudicate eccezionali dai giocatori esperti. Such a stick acquires characteristics of precision and shooting power that have been judged to be exceptional by experienced players.

Come si vede in figura 1, l’inserto ha vantaggiosamente piede della L che è arcuato verso il basso ed è formato con opposte estremità 17 aventi altezza maggiore del centro. Ciò, in unione ai materiali scelti permette di avere una concentrazione delle masse e un basso momento di inerzia per l’energia d’urto. As can be seen in figure 1, the insert advantageously has the foot of the L which is arched downwards and is formed with opposite ends 17 having a height greater than the center. This, in conjunction with the materials chosen, allows for a concentration of the masses and a low moment of inertia for the impact energy.

Sempre vantaggiosamente, il corpo della testa è realizzato simmetrico rispetto al piano mediano trasversale (coincidente con la linea III-III di figura 1). In tale modo, lo stesso stampo di fusione della testa permette di ottenere bastoni destri o sinistri semplicemente girando Γ inserto nello stampo (come mostrato esemplificativamente a tratteggio in figura 1). Again advantageously, the body of the head is made symmetrical with respect to the transverse median plane (coinciding with the line III-III of figure 1). In this way, the same casting mold of the head allows to obtain right or left sticks simply by turning the insert in the mold (as shown by way of example in broken lines in Figure 1).

Come si vede schematicamente in figura 1, la canna è connessa all’inserto in modo da avere prolungamento che passa per il centro d’impatto, indicato genericamente con 20 (sul lato opposto della testa). As can be seen schematically in figure 1, the barrel is connected to the insert so as to have an extension that passes through the center of impact, generically indicated with 20 (on the opposite side of the head).

Per proteggere la superficie di argento dai ripetuti urti con la pallina, può essere vantaggiosamente previsto una piastra ellittica in materiale duro, quale acciaio, di basso spessore (l-2mm) inserita centralmente alla zona di impatto, come indicato con 21 nelle figure. To protect the silver surface from repeated impacts with the ball, an elliptical plate made of hard material, such as steel, of low thickness (l-2mm) inserted centrally to the impact zone, as indicated by 21 in the figures, can be advantageously provided.

In una realizzazione perfezionata, la testa comprende sedi 18 disposte prossime alle estremità per l’accoglimento di pesi di equilibratura 19. Come chiaro dalle figure tali pesi (in materiale di adeguata massa) possono essere realizzati sotto forma di una pluralità di dischi assialmente forati, impaccati e fissati nella sede in modo rimuovibile (ad esempio mediante viti). Se necessario, la rimuovibilità può essere impedita od ostacolata (mediante sistemi noti non mostrati) dopo avere disposto i pesi nella quantità ritenuta adatta. In an improved embodiment, the head comprises seats 18 arranged close to the ends for receiving balancing weights 19. As is clear from the figures, these weights (made of material of suitable mass) can be made in the form of a plurality of axially perforated discs, packaged and fixed in the housing in a removable way (for example by screws). If necessary, the removability can be prevented or hindered (by known systems not shown) after having arranged the weights in the quantity deemed suitable.

A questo punto è chiaro come si siano raggiunti gli scopi prefissati, fornendo un bastone dotato di elevate caratteristiche di impatto e meccaniche, ritenute grandemente soddisfacenti dagli esperti. At this point it is clear that the intended purposes have been achieved by providing a stick with high impact and mechanical characteristics, considered highly satisfactory by those skilled in the art.

Naturalmente, la descrizione sopra fatta di una realizzazione applicante i principi innovativi della presente invenzione è riportata a titolo esemplificativo di tali principi innovativi e non deve perciò essere presa a limitazione dell'ambito di privativa qui rivendicato. Ad esempio l’esatta conformazione della testa varierà a seconda di specifiche esigenze tecniche ed estetiche e del tipo di bastone desiderato. Naturally, the above description of an embodiment applying the innovative principles of the present invention is given by way of example of these innovative principles and must therefore not be taken as a limitation of the patent scope claimed herein. For example, the exact shape of the head will vary depending on specific technical and aesthetic needs and the type of club desired.
