Description

  The present invention relates to a golf club support used to display a golf club at a sporting goods store, for example.

  In golf shops, golf clubs such as wood clubs (drivers) and iron clubs are displayed on display shelves. In the display of a golf club, a golf club support for displaying the golf club with the head of the golf club suspended is used. Conventionally, as such a golf club support, a golf club support that supports a golf club with first to third support portions is known (Patent Document 1). There is also known an exhibition support device that converts left-handed use and right-handed use by connecting the hook member upside down to the connecting member (Patent Document 2). All of these members are used in a state of being attached to a support bar (stay) for display.

International Publication No. 2009/113336 (Claim 1 etc.) JP 2008-80080 (Claim 1, paragraph 0009, etc.)

  Golf clubs include wood clubs and iron clubs, each having a different head shape. Further, when the golf club is displayed, if the front end side (toe) of the head faces the outside of the support bar, the display area expands to the outside of the support bar. Therefore, it is necessary to secure an extra display space. On the other hand, it is necessary to arrange the golf club so that the head can be easily seen when viewed from the customer. Therefore, in general, the wood club is arranged so that the face is substantially parallel to the support bar (the state of FIG. 8 in Patent Document 2), and the iron club is arranged so that the face is substantially perpendicular to the support bar ( FIG. 10 of Patent Document 2).

  Conventional golf club supports require at least two types of iron clubs and wood clubs. Patent Document 2 also describes that three types of golf club display devices, wood, iron, and putter are necessary (paragraph 0009). However, when manufacturing two types of golf club supports for wood clubs and iron clubs, a manufacturing line for the two types of supports is required, which increases the manufacturing cost. Further, when two types of golf club supports are manufactured, the cost of stock management of golf club supports on the manufacturer side and the storage cost of golf club supports not used for display on the store side are incurred.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a golf club support that can reduce the cost of manufacturing two types of support for a wood club and an iron club.

In order to achieve the above object, a golf club support of the present invention is a golf club support that is attached to a support member and supports the golf club head in a suspended state. A wood club support portion formed on one end side of the support body and capable of supporting a wood club; and a dominant hand formed on the opposite end side of the support body to the wood club support portion and having the same dominant hand as the wood club An iron club support part capable of supporting the iron club, and a support member attaching part attachable to the support member with one of the wood club support part and the iron club support part facing upward. And
Thus, since both a wood club and an iron club can be supported by one member, it is not necessary to manufacture two types of supports for a wood club and an iron club as in the prior art.

In this case, it is preferable that the wood club support section includes a head support section that supports the head of the wood club and a head regulation section that regulates the movement of the head. The iron club support section preferably includes a head support section that supports a head of the iron club and a head regulation section that regulates the movement of the head.
Thus, since the movement of the head is regulated by providing the head club support portion and the head regulating portion, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the head from deteriorating due to the position of the head being shifted.

Further, it is preferable that the wood club support portion and the iron club support portion have substantially the same shape, and are disposed at positions that are plane-symmetric with respect to a plane perpendicular to a straight line connecting the support portions.
In this way, the wood club support portion and the iron club support portion have substantially the same shape and are arranged so as to be plane-symmetric. Therefore, by rotating 180 degrees around the vertical axis, the right side of the same golf club It can be supported by switching between right-handed and left-handed.

In this case, the wood club support portion and the iron club support portion are both disposed at the bottom, the first support plate that stands up from the bottom portion, and the first support plate that stands up from the bottom portion and faces the first support plate. A second support plate that is formed, a protrusion positioned on the side of the second support plate, and an inclined portion that stands up from the bottom and is inclined toward the bottom from the first support plate to the second support plate And an inclined plate having a flat portion having a top end substantially parallel to the bottom portion, and the head on the neck side of the wood club is formed by the first support plate, the second support plate, and the flat portion. The movement of the head is regulated by the protrusion being positioned facing the face of the head, and the neck of the iron club is defined by the first support plate, the second support plate, and the flat portion. Side head Together but is supported, it is preferable that the inclined portion to restrict the movement of the head by a position opposite the face of the head.
By comprising in this way, both a wood club support part and an iron club support part can be supported, and the movement of a head can be controlled.

  Next, a method for supporting a golf club using the golf club support 1 will be described. The following example demonstrates the aspect which attaches the golf club support 1 to the support bar B of a display shelf, and supports a golf club.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which the right-handed wood club W is supported by the golf club support 1. First, the golf club support 1 is fixed to the support bar B by inserting the support bar B of the display shelf into the mounting hole 11 of the support body 10 with the first support portion 20 facing upward.

  Next, the shaft Ws of the wood club W is inserted into the shaft guide groove 15b from the open end side of the shaft guide portion 15. Then, the position of the wood club W is adjusted so that the face Wf of the head of the wood club W faces the protrusion 23. When the wood club W is placed on the first support portion 20 in this state, the first support plate 21 is positioned outside the base portion Wb near the neck of the wood club W, and the protrusion 23 is positioned on the heel side face Wf. The neck-side crown Wc is placed on the upper end surface of the second support plate 22 and the upper end surface of the flat portion 24 b of the inclined plate 24. By placing the wood club W in this way, the head is supported in a suspended state, and the movement of the head of the wood club W is restricted by the protrusion 23. The face Wf of the wood club W is substantially parallel to the support bar B. Therefore, in this case, the first support plate 21, the second support plate 22, and the flat portion 24b correspond to the head support portion of the present invention, and the protrusion 23 corresponds to the head restricting portion of the present invention.

  Next, a procedure for supporting a right-handed iron club on the golf club support 1 will be described. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the right-handed iron club I is supported by the golf club support 1. When exhibiting an iron club, the golf club support 1 in FIG. 4 is turned upside down, and the second support 30 is on the upper side. More specifically, in FIG. 1, the golf club support 1 is turned upside down by rotating in the Xr direction around the horizontal axis X1-X2 in the left-right direction. In this state, the support bar B is inserted into the mounting hole 11.

  Next, the shaft Is of the iron club I is inserted into the shaft guide groove 15b from the open end side of the shaft guide portion 15. Then, the position of the iron club I is adjusted so that the face If of the head of the iron club I faces the first support plate 31. When the iron club I is placed on the second support portion 30 in this state, the head is supported in a suspended state, and the first support plate 31 is positioned on the heel-side face If and near the cavity Ic. The second support plate 32 is positioned at the top, and the top line It on the neck side is accommodated in the bottom 35. That is, the top line It side of the head is accommodated in a region between the first support plate 31 and the second support plate 32. The top line It on the neck side is placed on the top end of the flat portion 34b of the inclined plate 34, and the inclined portion 34a is positioned on the surface side of the face If.

  Since the upper end surface of the inclined portion 34a is inclined obliquely at an angle close to the loft angle of the face If of the iron club I, the face If is close to the upper end surface of the inclined portion 34a. For this reason, even if the head of the iron club I tries to rotate around the shaft Is, the rotation of the face If is brought into contact with the top end of the inclined portion 34a is restricted. The face If of the iron club I is substantially perpendicular to the support bar B. Therefore, in this case, the first support plate 31, the second support plate 32, and the flat portion 34b correspond to the head support portion of the present invention, and the inclined portion 34a corresponds to the head restricting portion of the present invention.

  As described above, in the golf club support 1 of the present invention, the positions of the first support portion 20 and the second support portion 30 are switched up and down and fixed to the support bar B, so that the wood can be formed with one member. It becomes possible to support both the club W and the iron club I.
