Description

この発明は、例えば中空構造に形成される金属性ヘッド本体を備えるゴルフクラブヘッドに関する。   The present invention relates to a golf club head including a metallic head body formed, for example, in a hollow structure.

一般に、この種のゴルフクラブヘッドは、ステンレス、アルミニウム合金、チタン、チタン合金等の金属材料を、鋳造、鍛造、プレス等の手法で所望の形状に形成した複数の部材、繊維強化樹脂（ＦＲＰ）で形成した部材が溶接や接着等により組合わされて中空構造に製作される。   In general, this type of golf club head is composed of a plurality of members made of a metal material such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium, titanium alloy or the like in a desired shape by a technique such as casting, forging, or pressing, and fiber reinforced resin (FRP). The members formed in (1) are combined into a hollow structure by welding or bonding.

ところで、このようなゴルフクラブヘッドには、そのフェース面で打球した際のボールの飛距離を高める手段として、ヘッド本体のクラウン部におけるフェース面の近傍に、該フェース面の周辺に沿って複数のスロットを略直線上に所定の間隔に設けた複数のスリット列を、略平行に所定の間隔を有して形成し、各スリット列のスリットが互い違いとなる千鳥状に配置したヘッド構造のものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。このヘッド構造の場合は、スリット列間のばね支持構造の作用により、ヘッド本体の変形周期がボールの変形周期に同調されてそのフェース部で打球したボールの飛距離の向上が図られる。   By the way, in such a golf club head, as means for increasing the flight distance of the ball when hit by the face surface, there are a plurality of points along the periphery of the face surface in the vicinity of the face surface in the crown portion of the head body. A head structure having a plurality of slit rows in which slots are provided on a substantially straight line at a predetermined interval is formed in parallel with a predetermined interval, and the slits of each slit row are arranged in a staggered pattern. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In the case of this head structure, due to the action of the spring support structure between the slit rows, the deformation period of the head body is synchronized with the deformation period of the ball, and the flight distance of the ball hit by the face portion is improved.

また、ボールの飛距離を高める手段としては、フェース部、あるいはクラウン部に薄肉溝、又は貫通孔を形成し、フェース部の相対変化を大きくすることにより飛距離の向上を図るようにしたヘッド構造のものもある（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。
特開平６−１９００８８号公報 特開平１０−２６３１１８号公報 Further, as a means for increasing the flight distance of the ball, a head structure in which a thin groove or a through hole is formed in the face portion or the crown portion, and the flight distance is improved by increasing the relative change of the face portion. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP-A-6-190088 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-263118

しかしながら、上記特許文献１のヘッド構造では、クラウン部にスリット列を形成してばね性を持たせている構造のため、ボール打球部分近傍が変形し、打球位置によりフェース面の変形方向が異なることで、打球の方向性にばらつきが発生するという不都合を有する。   However, the head structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which a slit row is formed in the crown portion to provide springiness, so that the vicinity of the ball hitting portion is deformed, and the deformation direction of the face surface differs depending on the hitting ball position. Thus, there is a disadvantage that the directionality of the hit ball varies.

また、上記特許文献２のヘッド構造では、その構成上、変形を助長し、変形許容範囲が大きく、ボール打球部分近傍が変形し易いため、打球位置によりフェース面の変形方向が異なり、打球方向にばらつきが発生するという不都合を有する。   In addition, the head structure of Patent Document 2 facilitates deformation, has a large deformation allowable range, and easily deforms the vicinity of the ball hitting portion. Therefore, the deformation direction of the face surface differs depending on the hitting position, and the direction of hitting is There is a disadvantage that variation occurs.

この発明は上記の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、打球の方向性の安定化を図ったうえで、ボール初速の向上を図り得るようにして、飛距離の向上を実現したゴルフクラブヘッドを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a golf club head that realizes an improvement in flight distance so as to improve the initial velocity of the ball after stabilizing the directionality of the hit ball The purpose is to do.

この発明は、中空構造の金属製ヘッド本体を有するゴルフクラブヘッドであって、前記ヘッド本体のクラウン部内壁におけるフェース部側に前記ヘッド本体のトウ・ヒール方向に連続され、前記フェース部のフェース面に沿って肉厚部を形成し、この肉厚部に前記ヘッド本体のトウ・ヒール方向に連続され、前記フェース部のフェース面に沿って形成した凹条部を設けて構成した。   The present invention provides a golf club head having a hollow metal head body, which is continuous in the toe-heel direction of the head body on the face portion side of the inner wall of the crown portion of the head body, and the face surface of the face portion A thick portion is formed along the head portion, and a concave strip portion formed along the face surface of the face portion is provided on the thick portion so as to be continuous in the toe-heel direction of the head body.

上記構成によれば、クラウン部は、打球時、その厚肉部の凹条部で撓みがフェース部のフェース面に対して略平行に規制されることにより、全体としてフェース面に対して略平行にバランスのとれた状態で撓まれる。従って、フェース面に対する打球位置が若干異なっても、打球の方向性が略安定化され、しかも、厚肉部の凹条部により十分な反発力が得られて、所望のボール初速が可能となり、飛距離の向上が図れる。   According to the above-described configuration, the crown portion is substantially parallel to the face surface as a whole because the deflection of the thick portion of the crown portion is restricted to be substantially parallel to the face surface of the face portion when the ball is hit. It bends in a balanced state. Therefore, even if the hitting position with respect to the face surface is slightly different, the directionality of the hitting ball is substantially stabilized, and a sufficient repulsive force is obtained by the concave portion of the thick part, and a desired initial ball speed can be achieved. The flight distance can be improved.

以上述べたように、この発明によれば、打球の方向性の安定化を図ったうえで、ボール初速の向上を図り得るようにして、飛距離の向上を実現したゴルフクラブヘッドを提供することができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a golf club head that realizes an improvement in flight distance so as to improve the initial velocity of the ball after stabilizing the directionality of the hit ball. Can do.

以下、この発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照して詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図１は、この発明の一実施の形態に係るゴルフクラブヘッドを示すもので、ヘッド本体１０は、例えばチタン、チタン合金、あるいはステンレス等の好適な金属材料から鋳造、鍛造、あるいはプレス等によりクラウン部１１、ソウル部１２及びボールを打球するフェース部１３で構成される中空構造に形成される。そして、このヘッド本体１０は、そのバック部１０１を後方に突出させた中空の外殻構造を持つ金属製中空ウッドヘッドとして形成される。   FIG. 1 shows a golf club head according to an embodiment of the present invention. A head body 10 is crowned by casting, forging, pressing or the like from a suitable metal material such as titanium, titanium alloy, or stainless steel. It is formed in a hollow structure composed of a part 11, a soul part 12, and a face part 13 for hitting a ball. The head body 10 is formed as a metal hollow wood head having a hollow outer shell structure in which the back portion 101 protrudes rearward.

また、ヘッド本体１０には、ヒール１０２側のクラウン部１１からシャフト止着部１４が突出されて設けられる。このシャフト止着部１４は、ヒール１０２方向にわずかに傾斜した筒状に形成され、ステンレス等の金属あるいは繊維強化樹脂で形成したシャフト１５の先端がソケット１６を介して挿入されて接着されて止着される。このシャフト止着部１４のクラウン部１１からの突出長さは、適宜に調整することができ、図示のようにクラウン部１１から僅かに突出させた構造に限らず、これと同一面に形成し、あるいは、凹設することも可能である。   The head body 10 is provided with a shaft fixing portion 14 protruding from the crown portion 11 on the heel 102 side. The shaft fastening portion 14 is formed in a cylindrical shape slightly inclined in the direction of the heel 102, and the tip of the shaft 15 formed of a metal such as stainless steel or fiber reinforced resin is inserted through the socket 16 and bonded to the shaft. Worn. The protruding length of the shaft fastening portion 14 from the crown portion 11 can be adjusted as appropriate, and is not limited to the structure slightly protruding from the crown portion 11 as shown, but is formed on the same surface as this. Alternatively, it can be recessed.

ここで、上記フェース部１３は、トウ１０３・ヒール１０２方向に湾曲し、クラウン・ソール方向にも僅かに湾曲した断面形状を有し（図２参照）、そのフェース部１３のスイートスポットがヘッド本体１０の重心Ｇに対向される。上記ヘッド本体１０のクラウン部１１には、その内壁のフェース部１３側に反発力を高めるための肉厚部２０が、例えばフェース部１３のトウ１０３・ヒール１０２方向に連続して形成される。   Here, the face portion 13 has a cross-sectional shape that curves in the direction of the toe 103 and the heel 102 and slightly in the crown and sole directions (see FIG. 2), and the sweet spot of the face portion 13 is the head body. It is opposed to 10 centroids G. In the crown portion 11 of the head main body 10, a thick portion 20 for increasing the repulsive force is formed continuously on the face portion 13 side of the inner wall, for example, in the direction of the toe 103 and the heel 102 of the face portion 13.

この肉厚部２０は、その肉厚寸法ｔ１がクラウン部１１の肉厚寸法ｔ２に対してｔ１＞ｔ２に形成される。肉厚部２０の肉厚寸法ｔ１は、例えばクラウン部１１の肉厚寸法ｔ２が０．６〜１．０ｍｍとすると、１．０〜１．７ｍｍに設定される。そして、この肉厚部２０には、トウ１０３・ヒール１０２方向に連続される複数の凹条部２１がフェース部１３のフェース面に沿わせて、例えば湾曲形状に所定の間隔を有して略平行に形成される。この凹条部２１は、フェース部１３のフェース面で打球されて、撓みが発生すると、その肉厚部２０によりフェース面に対して略平行に撓むように規制されて、略平行の反発力でボールを押し出す如く作用する。   The thick portion 20 is formed such that the thickness dimension t1 thereof is t1> t2 with respect to the thickness dimension t2 of the crown portion 11. For example, when the thickness t2 of the crown portion 11 is 0.6 to 1.0 mm, the thickness t1 of the thick portion 20 is set to 1.0 to 1.7 mm. The thick portion 20 is provided with a plurality of concave strip portions 21 extending in the direction of the toe 103 and the heel 102 along the face surface of the face portion 13, for example, with a predetermined interval in a curved shape. They are formed in parallel. When the concave portion 21 is hit by the face surface of the face portion 13 and is bent, the thick portion 20 is regulated to be bent substantially parallel to the face surface by the thick portion 20, and the ball is caused by a substantially parallel repulsive force. Acts like pushing out.

なお、上記凹条部２１としては、幅寸法が０．５〜４．０ｍｍで、好ましくは１〜１．５ｍｍ、深さ寸法が０．１〜０．５ｍｍで、好ましくは０．１〜０．２ｍｍに設定される。   The concave strip portion 21 has a width dimension of 0.5 to 4.0 mm, preferably 1 to 1.5 mm, and a depth dimension of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, preferably 0.1 to 0 mm. Set to 2 mm.

また、上記クラウン部１１には、その内壁のバック部１０１側に、フェース部１３のフェース面と交差する該フェース面方向に延出される複数の突出したリブ２２が所定の間隔に並設して形成される。このリブ２２は、フェース部１３による打球時、クラウン部１１のバック部１０１側の撓みを規制するもので、例えば２本を設ける場合、上記重心Ｇに対して略対称に平行、あるいは所定の傾斜角を有して設けられ、３本以上を配する場合、重心Ｇを中心として、平行、あるいは所定の傾斜角を有して設けられる。   The crown portion 11 has a plurality of protruding ribs 22 extending in the face surface direction intersecting the face surface of the face portion 13 on the back portion 101 side of the inner wall, and arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals. It is formed. The rib 22 restricts the deflection of the crown portion 11 on the back portion 101 side when the face portion 13 is hit. For example, when two ribs 22 are provided, the rib 22 is substantially symmetrically parallel to the center of gravity G or has a predetermined inclination. When three or more are provided, they are provided with the center of gravity G as the center or with a predetermined inclination angle.

上記凹条部２１の設けられる肉厚部２０及びリブ２２は、そのうち肉厚部２０の最もバック部１０１側及びリブ２２のフェース部１３側の端部が、クラウン部１１の最も突出した位置Ｈ、即ちバック部１０１の湾曲部におけるクラウン部１１側の頂点位置Ａとフェース部１３の湾曲部におけるクラウン側の頂点位置Ｂを結ぶ線上より最も離間された位置を含む所定の範囲を除いて形成される。   The thick portion 20 and the rib 22 provided with the concave strip portion 21 are located at a position H where the end portion of the thick portion 20 on the back portion 101 side and the rib 22 on the face portion 13 side protrudes most on the crown portion 11. That is, it is formed excluding a predetermined range including a position farthest from a line connecting a vertex position A on the crown portion 11 side in the curved portion of the back portion 101 and a vertex position B on the crown side in the curved portion of the face portion 13. The

上記構成により、フェース部１３のフェース面で打球されると、その打撃力により、クラウン部１１は、そのフェース部１３側における肉厚部２０の凹条部２１がフェース面に対して略平行に撓むと共に、そのバック部１０１側がリブ２１により撓みが規制されて反発エネルギがフェース面側に集中される。ここで、クラウン部１１は、フェース部１３のフェース面で打球されたボールに対する反発力を効率良く付与して、ボールの初速を高め、飛距離の向上を図る。この際、フェース部１３は、その打球位置がスイートスポットから若干、異なった位置で打球した場合にも、クラウン部１１の凹条部２１により、そのフェース面に略平行な反発力が付与されることで、略同様の安定した方向性を得ることができる。   With the above configuration, when a ball is hit on the face surface of the face portion 13, the crown portion 11 causes the concave portion 21 of the thick portion 20 on the face portion 13 side to be substantially parallel to the face surface. In addition to being bent, the back portion 101 side is restrained from being bent by the rib 21 and the rebound energy is concentrated on the face surface side. Here, the crown portion 11 efficiently applies a repulsive force to the ball hit by the face surface of the face portion 13 to increase the initial velocity of the ball and improve the flight distance. At this time, even when the hit position of the face portion 13 is slightly different from the sweet spot, a repulsive force substantially parallel to the face surface is applied by the concave portion 21 of the crown portion 11. Thus, substantially the same stable directionality can be obtained.

このように、上記ゴルフクラブヘッドは、金属製ヘッド本体１０のクラウン部１１内壁におけるフェース部１３側にトウ・ヒール方向に連続され、フェース部１３のフェース面に沿って肉厚部２０を形成し、この肉厚部２０にトウ・ヒール方向に連続され、フェース面に沿って凹条部２１を設けて構成した。   As described above, the golf club head is continuous in the toe-heel direction on the face 13 side of the inner wall of the crown portion 11 of the metal head main body 10, and forms the thick portion 20 along the face surface of the face portion 13. The thick portion 20 is continuous in the toe-heel direction, and a concave portion 21 is provided along the face surface.

これによれば、フェース部１３のフェース面で打球した打球時、クラウン部１１は、凹条部２１に発生した撓みが、その肉厚部２０によりフェース面に対して略平行に撓むように規制されて、略平行の反発力でボールを押し出す如く作用する。これにより、フェース部１３のフェース面で打球されたボールに対する反発力を効率良く付与して、ボールの初速を高め、飛距離の向上を図ることができる。この際、フェース部１３は、その打球位置がスイートスポットから若干、異なった位置で打球した場合にも、クラウン部１１により、フェース面に略平行な反発力が付与されることで、略同様に安定した方向性を得ることができる。   According to this, at the time of hitting with the face surface of the face portion 13, the crown portion 11 is regulated so that the bending generated in the concave portion 21 is bent substantially parallel to the face surface by the thick portion 20. Thus, it acts as if the ball is pushed out by a substantially parallel repulsive force. Thereby, the repulsive force with respect to the ball hit by the face surface of the face part 13 can be efficiently provided, the initial velocity of the ball can be increased, and the flight distance can be improved. At this time, even when the face portion 13 hits the ball at a slightly different position from the sweet spot, the crown portion 11 applies a repulsive force substantially parallel to the face surface, so that the face portion 13 is substantially the same. Stable directionality can be obtained.

また、ヘッド本体１０のクラウン部１１内壁のバック部１０１側に、フェース部１３のフェース面と交差する方向に延出される複数のリブ２２を配して構成した。これによれば、クラウン部１１のバック部１０１側がリブ２２により、そのバック部１０１側の撓みが規制されて反発エネルギをフェース面側に集中させることが可能となることにより、さらに飛距離の向上を図ることができる。   Further, a plurality of ribs 22 extending in a direction intersecting the face surface of the face portion 13 are arranged on the back portion 101 side of the inner wall of the crown portion 11 of the head body 10. According to this, the back portion 101 side of the crown portion 11 is regulated by the rib 22 so that the deflection on the back portion 101 side is restricted and the repulsive energy can be concentrated on the face surface side, thereby further improving the flight distance. Can be achieved.

なお、上記実施の形態では、凹条部２１を複数本、設けるように構成した場合で説明したが、これに限ることなく、例えば凹条部２１を一本だけ肉厚部２０に設けるように構成してもよい。   In addition, in the said embodiment, although demonstrated in the case where it comprised so that the several concave strip part 21 might be provided, it is not restricted to this, For example, it is provided so that only one concave strip part 21 may be provided in the thick part 20. It may be configured.

また、上記実施の形態では、略湾曲形状をした凹条部２１を、フェース部１３のフェース面に沿わせるように配して構成した場合で説明したが、これに限ることなく、凹条部２１を、略直線上に形成してフェース部１３のフェース面に沿わせて配するように構成することも可能である。   Further, in the above-described embodiment, the description has been given of the case where the substantially curved concave portion 21 is arranged so as to be along the face surface of the face portion 13. It is also possible to configure 21 so as to be formed along a substantially straight line and to be arranged along the face surface of the face portion 13.

この発明は、上記実施の形態に限ることなく、その他、図３及び図４、図５、図６及び図７に示すように構成しても、略同様の効果を期待することができる。但し、この図３乃至図７においては、上記図１及び図２と同一部分について、同一符号を付して、その詳細な説明を省略する。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. In addition, substantially the same effect can be expected even when configured as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. However, in FIG. 3 to FIG. 7, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 and FIG.

先ず、図３及び図４に示す実施の形態では、クラウン部１１内壁のフェース部１３側に、弾性変形規制部を構成する略直線上の複数の突条部３０が、フェース面に沿って所定の間隔を有して略平行に形成される。この突条部３０は、例えば打球時、クラウン部１１の所定間隔毎の撓みを規制して該クラウン部１１のフェース部１３が、フェース面に対して略平行に撓むように作用し、十分な反発力をボールに付与する。この際、フェース部１３のフェース面は、その面に対して略平行に撓むことで、打点位置が、異なった場合においても所望の方向性が確保される。   First, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of substantially straight protrusions 30 constituting the elastic deformation restricting portion are provided along the face surface on the face portion 13 side of the inner wall of the crown portion 11. Are formed substantially in parallel with each other. For example, at the time of hitting the ball, the protruding portion 30 restricts the bending of the crown portion 11 at a predetermined interval and acts so that the face portion 13 of the crown portion 11 is bent substantially parallel to the face surface. Apply power to the ball. At this time, the face surface of the face portion 13 is bent substantially parallel to the surface, so that a desired directionality can be ensured even when the hit point positions are different.

そして、クラウン部１１内壁のバック部１０１側には、複数、例えば２本のリブ３１がフェース部１３のフェース面に交差する該フェース面方向に延出させて形成される。これら突条部３０及びリブ３１は、そのうち最もバック部１０１側に配される突条部３０及びリブ３１のフェース面側の端部が、クラウン部１１の最も突出した位置Ｈ、即ちバック部１０１の湾曲部におけるクラウン部１１側の頂点位置Ａとフェース部１３の湾曲部におけるクラウン部１１側の頂点位置Ｂを結ぶ線上より最も離間された位置を含む所定の範囲を除いて形成される。   On the back portion 101 side of the inner wall of the crown portion 11, a plurality of, for example, two ribs 31 are formed extending in the face surface direction intersecting the face surface of the face portion 13. Of these protrusions 30 and ribs 31, end portions of the protrusions 30 and ribs 31 arranged closest to the back part 101 side on the face surface side are the positions H where the crown part 11 protrudes most, that is, the back part 101. It is formed excluding a predetermined range including a position farthest from a line connecting a vertex position A on the crown portion 11 side in the curved portion and a vertex position B on the crown portion 11 side in the curved portion of the face portion 13.

このうち、２本のリブ３１は、図４中において、略平行に設けているが、これに限ることなく、その他、フェース部１３のフェース面に対して傾斜させて交差するように設けるようにしてもよい。他方の突条部３０は、図４中において、略直線上に形成するように構成したが、これに限ることなく、略湾曲形状に形成し、フェース部１３のフェース面に沿うように形成することも可能である。   Of these, the two ribs 31 are provided substantially in parallel in FIG. 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the ribs 31 may be provided so as to be inclined with respect to the face surface of the face portion 13. May be. The other protrusion 30 is configured to be formed on a substantially straight line in FIG. 4, but is not limited to this, and is formed in a substantially curved shape and formed along the face surface of the face portion 13. It is also possible.

なお、上記図３及び図４の実施の形態では、突条部３０を複数本、設けるように構成した場合で説明したが、これに限ることなく、例えば突条部３０を一本だけクラウン部１１内壁に設けるように構成してもよい。   In the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 described above, a case has been described where a plurality of protrusions 30 are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only one protrusion 30 is a crown part. 11 may be provided on the inner wall.

また、上記図３及び図４の実施の形態では、弾性変形規制用の突条部３０を設けて構成した場合で説明したが、これに限ることなく、その他、突条部３０に代えてクラウン部１１の内壁に弾性変形規制部を構成する凹条部を、同様にフェース部１３のフェース面に沿って設けるように構成することも可能である。この弾性変形規制部としての凹条部を、クラウン部１１の内壁に設けると、凹条部に沿ったクラウン部が撓みを規制し、略同様の効果が期待される。   Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 described above, the description has been given of the case where the elastic deformation regulating protrusion 30 is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the crown 30 can be used instead of the protrusion 30. It is also possible to provide a concave strip portion that constitutes an elastic deformation restricting portion on the inner wall of the portion 11 in the same manner along the face surface of the face portion 13. When the concave strip portion as the elastic deformation regulating portion is provided on the inner wall of the crown portion 11, the crown portion along the concave strip portion restricts the bending, and substantially the same effect is expected.

図５に示す実施の形態では、クラウン部１１内壁のフェース部１３側に、弾性変形規制部を構成する略湾曲形状の複数の突条部４０が、フェース面に沿って所定の間隔を有して略平行に形成される。そして、クラウン部１１内壁のバック部１０１側には、後述するように所定の間隔を有して配される複数、例えば３本のリブ４１が、フェース部１３のフェース面に交差する該フェース面方向に延出させて形成される。   In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, on the face 13 side of the inner wall of the crown part 11, a plurality of substantially curved ridges 40 constituting the elastic deformation restricting part have a predetermined interval along the face surface. Formed substantially in parallel. Further, on the back portion 101 side of the inner wall of the crown portion 11, the face surface in which a plurality of, for example, three ribs 41 arranged with a predetermined interval as described later intersect the face surface of the face portion 13. It is formed extending in the direction.
