Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a grip receiver that is used when a golf club is erected while the head is on top and is displayed.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 When displaying a golf club with the head on top, it is essential that the letters on the head sole be kept in a state that can be easily read by a viewer. Become.

However, in view of the current state where the golf club is held upright with the head up, the state of the golf club, such as the original form of the golf club and the state of the display, is displayed on the sole of the head. In many cases, it is hard to read the characters that appear on the screen as a viewer.

That is, in a golf club, the shaft is provided in a position eccentric to the head and obliquely connected to the golf club. In many cases, it tends to lean toward you.

Therefore, in order to make it easier for the observer to read the characters etc. written on the sole of the head, even if the head is positioned upward with the shaft tilted toward you, The head rotates downward around the shaft due to its weight, which makes it difficult to read characters written on the sole.

Then, at this time, when a large number of golf clubs are displayed, the heads are in a disorderly downward state, which causes the viewer to feel confused. There is also.

When the golf club is erected while the head is up, the shaft is prevented from rotating by attaching a member such as rubber that easily causes frictional resistance to a portion where the shaft comes into contact. There is also a suggestion.

However, in this method, since the shaft is generally thin, it is not possible to expect sufficient frictional resistance to prevent rotation of the shaft, and as a result, the golf club rotates and the head faces downward. There is a problem that cannot be prevented.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned current situation, and its purpose is to be most suitable for use when displaying a golf club while standing the golf club with the head up. It is to provide a grip receiver.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the structure of the grip receiver according to the present invention basically has a flange part projecting to the outer peripheral side at the upper end and an inner peripheral surface consisting of an inclined surface that converges downward. , It is set so that frictional resistance is generated between the peripheral edge of the grip and the inner peripheral surface when the peripheral edge of the grip of the golf club guided from above to the inner peripheral surface is in contact. It will be.

[0012] Specifically, it is assumed that the grip receiver is made of a soft material such as rubber or a hard material having a frictional resistance generating portion on the inner peripheral surface.

Further, preferably, the grip receiver has a bottom portion having an arbitrary shape continuous with the inner peripheral surface, and the bottom portion may have a through hole for drainage or the like.

Further, preferably, in the grip receiver, the upper end surface of the collar portion is a curved surface which is continuous with the inner peripheral surface and extends toward the outer peripheral side, and the curved surface is guided from above. It is assumed that it is set on the guide surface at the peripheral edge of the grip.

Further, more specifically, it is assumed that the grip receiver is fitted in a fitting hole formed in an appropriate supporting member, and an opening edge portion of the supporting member forming the fitting hole at the time of fitting. May be fitted into a groove formed on the outer periphery adjacent to the collar portion.

[0015]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiment, but as shown in FIG. 1, the grip receiver 1 of the invention forms, for example, a bottom plate portion in a display shelf 3 of a golf club 2. It is assumed to be held by the support member 4.

In the illustrated embodiment, the golf club 2 is supposed to be displayed on the display shelf 3 in a state where the head 21 is placed upside down and is upside down. While the end of the grip 23, which is the base end of the shaft, is inserted into the grip receiver 1, the shaft 22 is leaned against the shaft receiver 5 provided above the support member 4 so as to be opposed to each other. It is supposed to be done.

In the illustrated embodiment, the grip receiver 1 is made of a soft rubber material that is a soft material, and is formed by, for example, extraction molding of a soft synthetic rubber material. However, instead of this, A soft plastic material may also be formed by extraction molding.

In short, as shown in FIG. 2, when the end peripheral edge 23 a of the grip 23 is placed in contact with the inner peripheral surface 11 of the grip receiver 1, the end peripheral edge 23 a and the inner peripheral surface 11 are Is to be set so that frictional resistance is generated during.

When the grip receiver 1 is made of a soft material, the end peripheral edge 23a and the inner peripheral surface 11 are likely to come into close contact with each other, and frictional resistance is easily generated between them. It becomes a situation.

Further, when the grip receiver 1 is made of a soft material, it is advantageous not only in terms of frictional resistance but also in terms of material and manufacturing costs, but the material and manufacturing costs are low. When the above point is disregarded, it may be made of a hard material.

For example, the grip receiver 1 is made of a hard plastic material or a metal material, and as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. The portion 11a, or the friction resistance generating portion 11a (not shown), which is composed of a large number of small projections formed on the inner peripheral surface 11 in a scattered manner, is provided. It may be set so that frictional resistance is generated between the peripheral edge 23a.

As described above, when the frictional resistance generating portion 11a is formed on the inner peripheral surface 11, since the weight of the golf club 2 acts on the inner peripheral surface 11, the frictional resistance generating portion 11a moves toward the end peripheral edge 23a of the grip 23. As a result, a large frictional resistance is generated against the rotational movement of the grip 23, and the rotation of the golf club 2 is effectively blocked.

When the frictional resistance generating portion 11a is formed on the inner peripheral surface 11, dust or the like may adhere to the inner peripheral surface 11 unless the frictional resistance generating portion 11a is so-called crushed. Also, as compared with the case of being formed of a soft material, it is advantageous in that the generation of frictional resistance is less likely to be hindered, and is also advantageous in that it is excellent in durability.

Although not shown, the grip receiver 1 may be made of clay unglazed, for example, and the inner peripheral surface 11 may be roughened. Furthermore, the grip receiver 1 may be For example, a sponge sheet or rubber sheet having a large friction coefficient for forming a rough surface on the inner peripheral surface 11 may be formed by being formed of another hard material such as stone.

On the other hand, in terms of shape, the grip receiver 1 has a flange portion 12 projecting to the outer peripheral side at the upper end, and an inner peripheral surface 11 composed of an inclined surface that converges downward, In the illustrated embodiment, the bottom portion 13 is formed in a flat plate shape and is continuous with the inner peripheral surface 11, and the bottom portion 13 has a through hole 13a for drainage.

The collar portion 12 is inserted from the inside of the fitting hole 41 when the grip receiver 1 is held by the supporting member 4, that is, when it is fitted into the fitting hole 41 formed in the supporting member 4. In other words, the purpose is to function to prevent slipping.

However, in the illustrated embodiment, in addition to the above, the upper end surface of the collar portion 12 is a curved surface extending continuously to the inner peripheral surface 11 toward the outer peripheral side, and the curved surface is It is supposed to be set on the guide surface 12a of the end peripheral edge 23a of the grip 23 of the golf club 2 guided from above.

When the collar portion 12 is set to have the guide surface 12a, the operability when guiding the end portion of the grip 23 into the grip receiver 1 is improved, that is, the guide effect is obtained. As a matter of course, the collar portion 12 is formed to have a half-moon shape with a large thickness, which is advantageous in that the above-mentioned slip-out function can be made permanent.

As long as the flange portion 12 can exhibit a predetermined slip-out function, the upper end surface is formed in a half-moon shape with a curved surface, and is shown by a virtual diagram in FIG. As described above, it may be formed in a flange shape that is thin in comparison.

By the way, in the illustrated embodiment, since the grip receiver 1 is made of a soft rubber material, when the grip receiver 1 is fitted into the fitting hole 41 of the support member 4, for example, It is sufficient to push it into the fitting hole 41 while crushing it in the radial direction, and the operability is excellent.

However, when the golf club 2 is easily pulled out, the golf club 2 is pulled up when the end peripheral edge 23 a of the grip 23 is adhered to the inner peripheral surface 11 of the grip receiver 1. When the grip 23 is disengaged from the inside of the grip receiver 1, the grip 23 and the grip 23 may be pulled up and come out.

Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment, when the grip receiver 1 is fitted into the fitting hole 41 of the support member 4, it is held there.

That is, it is assumed that the grip receiver 1 has the groove 14 on the outer periphery which is adjacent to the flange portion 12 from below, and when the grip receiver 1 is pushed into the fitting hole 41, the fitting hole 41 is inserted. It is set so that the inner peripheral end of the opening edge portion 41a is fitted into the groove 14 in a state where the flange portion 12 is locked to the upper end of the opening edge portion 41a of the support member 4 to be formed. .

As a result, by fitting the opening edge portion 41a into the groove 14 formed in the grip receiver 1, the grip receiver 1 can be easily supported while being easily distributed to the support member 4. The detachment from the member 4 can be easily prevented.

When the grip receiver 1 is made of, for example, a hard material that tends to have high strength, it suffices to push the grip receiver 1 strongly into the fitting hole 41. In addition, the groove 14 may not be provided, and there is an advantage that the manufacturing cost can be reduced accordingly.

The degree of convergence of the inner peripheral surface 11 is selected within a range that is effective in preventing so-called punch-through when the end of the grip 23 is inserted into the grip receiver 1. Of course, it is selected within a range sufficient to maintain a stable insertion state.

Incidentally, the grip 23 of the golf club 2 is usually covered with a relatively thick tape made of a soft resin material or the like, and has an outer diameter of 1 to 2 mm at the end. The error within the range is about 27 mm. On the other hand, in the grip receiver 1, the large diameter part of the inner peripheral surface 11 is set to about 32 mm and the small diameter part is set to about 22 mm. Is set to.

Therefore, even when the end portion of the grip 23 is inserted into the grip receiver 1 from the so-called right above, it is of course possible to effectively prevent the above-mentioned punch-through, and the grip 23 The end peripheral edge 23a always comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface 11, and at this time, the entire weight of the golf club 2 acts on the contact portion, so that it is possible to ensure that a large frictional resistance is generated. You can do it.

The bottom portion 13 is mainly provided in order to effectively prevent the above-mentioned punch-through, but by forming the bottom portion 13, the whole of the peripheral wall portion forming the inner peripheral surface 11 is formed. This is advantageous in that the wall thickness is not made thicker than necessary.

That is, while suppressing the opening property at the lower end which is promoted by reducing the wall thickness of the peripheral wall portion, it is possible to provide the peripheral wall portion with sufficient elasticity, which reduces the material cost. However, it is advantageous in that it facilitates the generation of frictional resistance between the inner peripheral surface 11 and the end peripheral edge 23a of the grip 23.

On the other hand, the formation of the bottom portion 13 which is continuous with the inner peripheral surface 11 brings about a disadvantage that dust accumulation and rainwater storage are allowed in the bottom portion 13 in contrast to the above advantages, but in this case, in FIG. As shown in, the through hole 13a may be formed in the bottom portion 13, and this may be set as a hole for discharging dust or water.

In particular, if there is no danger of rainwater collecting, as shown in the phantom diagram in FIG. 2, the bottom 13 may be formed into a conical shape or a semicircular shape so that dust particles are not generated. It may be formed in any shape that can provide a reservoir.

It is needless to say that the distribution of the through holes 13a is not hindered even when the bottom portion 13 is formed in an arbitrary shape such as a conical shape or a semicircular shape.

Therefore, in the grip receiver 1 formed as described above, it is prevented from falling off by the collar portion 12 in the fitting hole 41 in the support member 4 forming the bottom plate portion of the display shelf 3. It is pushed in in the state of being fixed and fixed to the supporting member 4.

At this time, when the grip bridge 1 is made of a soft material and is likely to be pushed into the fitting hole 41 but is likely to be pulled out, the grip bridge 1 is adjacent to the collar portion 12 from below in the outer periphery. When the grip receiver 1 is pushed into the fitting hole 41, the inner peripheral end of the opening edge portion 41a of the support member 4 forming the fitting hole 41 in the groove 14 is fitted. As a result, the grip receiver 1 is held by the support member 4.

In this state, the grip receiver 1, which is held by the support member 4, is held upside down with the head 21 upside down, and the end portion of the grip 23 of the golf club 2 displayed on the display rack 3. Will be accepted in the inserted state.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, when the shaft 22 of the golf club 2 comes to lean against the shaft receiving portion 5 of the display shelf 3, and the golf club 2 leans against the so-called diagonal. As shown in the phantom diagram in FIG. 2, the grip 23 is obliquely inserted into the grip receiver 1.

Further, at this time, when the upper end surface of the collar portion 12 has a guide surface 12 a made of a curved surface continuous with the inner peripheral surface 11, the end portion of the grip 23 is provided inside the grip receiver 1. The guide effect required when the insertion operation is performed is obtained, and the end portion of the grip 23 can be surely inserted into the grip receiver 1.

On the other hand, when the end of the grip 23 is inserted into the grip receiver 1, the inner peripheral surface 11 of the grip receiver 1 is set to an inclined surface that converges downward, so that the grip 23 All or part of the end peripheral edge 23a comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface 11 of the grip receiver 1, and at this time, almost the entire weight of the golf club 2 acts on the contact portion.

Therefore, even if the grip 23 is rotated in the grip receiver 1 from this state, a large frictional resistance is generated in the contact portion which is the whole or a part of the end peripheral edge 23a of the grip 23. However, it cannot be easily rotated, that is, the head 21 cannot be easily rotated so that the head 21 is oriented in any direction in the display shelf 3.

By the way, when the inner diameter of the grip receiver 1 is too large as compared with the outer diameter of the end peripheral edge 23a of the grip 23, there is a risk of falling out when the end portion of the grip 23 is inserted into the grip receiver 1. However, at this time, since the bottom portion 13 which is continuous with the inner peripheral surface 11 is formed, the fear can be eliminated.

If the inner diameter of the grip receiver 1 is too small as compared with the outer diameter of the end peripheral edge 23 a of the grip 23, the grip 23 may be inserted when the end portion of the grip 23 is inserted into the grip receiver 1. The situation is such that it is inserted into the grip receiver 1 at a so-called diagonal.

At this time, for example, as shown in a phantom diagram in FIG. 2, a part of the end peripheral edge 23 a of the grip 23 comes into contact with the bottom portion 13 of the grip receiver 1, and even this contact portion. Friction resistance is generated, and the golf club 2 functions to prevent the rotation of the golf club 2.

Even if the grip receiver 1 is used for a long period of time and so-called dust and rainwater accumulate inside, if the through hole 13a is opened in the bottom portion 13, the through hole Dust and rainwater will be discharged to the outside through the hole 13a, so that the end portion of the grip 23 inserted into the grip receiver 1 can be prevented from being soiled.

Further, when the grip receiver 1 is used for a long period of time, and especially when it is expected that dust will be accumulated inside, the bottom portion 13 is formed into a conical shape or a half-moon shape. The dust can be accumulated on the bottom portion 13 and the end portion of the grip 23 inserted into the grip receiver 1 can be prevented from being soiled.

As in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inner peripheral surface 11 has a frictional resistance generating portion 11a including a plurality of vertical ribs having a narrow width. The frictional resistance generating portion 11a bites into the end peripheral edge 23a of the grip 23 by the load action from the ruff club 2, and a large frictional resistance is generated by this biting, and the rotation of the golf club 2 is blocked. Will be done.

[0057]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, in the present invention, since the inner peripheral surface of the grip receiver is set to the inclined surface that converges downward, the end of the grip is inserted into the grip receiver. In this case, the entire or a part of the peripheral edge of the grip comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the grip receiver, and a large frictional resistance is generated at the contact part, so that the shaft of the golf club is set as the axis. Rotation can be prevented.

As a result, when the golf club is placed upside down with the head up, the end of the grip is inserted into a grip receiver fixed to an appropriate support member. This makes it possible to maintain the head orientation so that it is aligned in a certain direction, which not only gives the sense of alignment of multiple golf clubs, but also the letters on the sole and other characters. It is possible for a person to maintain a readable state.

When the grip receiver is made of a soft material, it becomes easy to generate frictional resistance between the end peripheral edge of the grip and the inner peripheral surface of the grip receiver, and the grip receiver is made of a hard material. When it is formed, a frictional resistance generating part consisting of a large number of narrow vertical ribs is provided on the inner peripheral surface, so that the frictional resistance is generated between the edge of the grip and the inner peripheral surface of the grip receiver. Can be generated.

Further, in this invention, since the grip receiver has the flange portion at the upper end, for example, it should not be pushed into the fitting hole formed in the supporting member forming the bottom plate portion of the display shelf. At the time of rehabilitation, it will be fixed in a state where the slip-out is prevented.

When the grip receiver is made of a soft material and is likely to be pushed into the fitting hole, but is likely to be easily pulled out, the grip receiver has an outer periphery adjacent to the collar portion from below. By fitting the inner peripheral end of the opening edge portion of the support member forming the fitting hole in the groove, the grip receiver can be held on the support member.

When the flange has a guide surface formed of a curved surface continuous with the inner peripheral surface, the guide surface is used to guide the end of the grip into the grip receiver. As a result, the end portion of the grip can be surely inserted into the grip receiver.

Further, in this invention, since the grip receiver has the bottom portion continuing to the inner peripheral surface, it is possible to prevent the end portion of the grip from coming out downward from the inside of the grip receiver. It is possible to have sufficient elasticity in the peripheral wall while suppressing the opening property at the lower end, which is promoted by reducing the thickness of the peripheral wall that forms the inner peripheral surface, and lowers the material cost. However, it facilitates the generation of frictional resistance between the inner peripheral surface and the peripheral edge of the end of the grip.

When the grip receiver has the bottom, the inner diameter of the grip receiver is too small as compared with the outer diameter of the peripheral edge of the grip, so that the grip is inserted obliquely into the grip receiver. Even if the grip is caught, a part of the peripheral edge of the grip comes into contact with the bottom, and frictional resistance also occurs at this contact part, which may prevent the golf club from rotating. Become.

In addition, when the formation of the bottom portion may cause the accumulation of dust or the storage of rainwater to the bottom portion, a through hole is formed in the bottom portion so that the through hole is used for discharging dust or rainwater. Can be set in the hole.

Especially, when there is no danger of rainwater collecting, by forming the bottom part into an arbitrary shape such as a conical shape or a half-moon shape, it becomes possible to provide a dust collecting place. By forming a through hole in the bottom of the half-moon shape, it becomes easier to discharge dust and rainwater.
