Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a golf club socket, and more particularly, to an improvement of a golf club socket that can easily adjust the swing balance of the golf club head.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the boundary X between the hosel portion 2 and the shaft 3 of the club head body 1 of a golf club (iron golf club, wood golf club) is covered from the outside as shown in FIGS. A socket 4 having a tapered cylindrical shape or an annular shape is attached mainly for the purpose of making the insertion length of the shaft 3 into the club head body 1 constant and for decoration.

Since the socket 4 is intended for decoration or the like as described above, it is generally formed integrally with a colored synthetic resin material such as celluloid into a tubular shape or an annular shape. As shown in 6, the mainstream is a cylindrical or annular socket 4 around which a vinyl cord or the like is wound. In the past, it was also used for the purpose of reducing the impact when hitting the shaft 3 and the club head body 1, but in recent years, due to improvements and advances in the club shaft, the socket 4 has been used. As a result, it is no longer necessary to alleviate the impact when the shaft 3 and the club head body 1 are hit.

By the way, the weight of the conventional club head body 1 is adjusted by assembling the club head body 1 by inserting lead into the shaft insertion hole formed in the club head body 1 or by using brass or the like at the tip of the shaft 3. This has been done by adding heavy metal heavy objects such as lead.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, it takes a lot of time and effort to adjust the weight of the club head body 1 when the club head body 1 is assembled, and the weight can be freely changed. Had the problem of being difficult. This invention was devised by focusing on such conventional problems, and by attaching a socket with a weight body attached to a club head body that is lighter in weight than the standard weight, a golf club head It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf club socket that can easily adjust swing balance.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the invention is summarized in that a heavy metal object having a large specific gravity is buried inside the socket body on the club head body side. Further, the gist of the present invention is that a groove is formed on the inside of the club head body side of the socket body, and a heavy metal object having a large specific gravity such as lead or brass is fitted into the groove.

[0007]

[Action]

 This invention is constructed as described above, and several types of socket bodies are prepared in advance by burying a heavy metal object having a large specific gravity in the inside of the club head body side of the socket body. The swing balance of the golf club head can be easily adjusted by assembling the socket body that supports the swing balance of.

[0008]

[Example of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same components as those in the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional front view of a socket body 5 embodying the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1. The socket body 5 is made of a synthetic resin material. It has a through hole 6 into which the shaft 3 can be inserted and has a tapered cylindrical shape.

On the inner side 5a of the socket body 5 on the club head body side, a groove 8 into which a heavy metal object 7 having a large specific gravity such as lead or brass can be fitted is formed in advance by being connected to the through hole 6. The metal weight 7 is fitted and fixed in the groove 8 by an adhesive or fitting. Thus, the weight of the club head body 1 can be arbitrarily adjusted by changing the size and shape of the groove 8 and the heavy metal weight 7.

Therefore, several types of socket main bodies 5 in which the heavy metal weights 7 having different weights are embedded are formed in advance, and the socket main bodies 5 are made to correspond to the swing balance of the club head main body 1, and the club head main body 1 At the time of assembling, the socket body 5 is inserted into the shaft 3 for assembly. By doing so, the weight of the club head body 1 can be adjusted by inserting lead into the shaft insertion hole formed in the club head body 1 as in the conventional case, or by using brass or lead having a large specific gravity at the tip of the shaft 3. It can be easily carried out without putting heavy objects, and the assembly work can also be carried out easily.

In order to facilitate the workability of mounting the socket body 5, it is possible to preliminarily be completely symmetrical in the longitudinal direction and be divided into two parts, which makes it easy to mount the heavy metal object 7. Is something that can be done. FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a groove 8a for burying the heavy metal object 7 is formed in the center of the socket body 5 on the club head body side. A heavy metal object 7 formed in advance in the groove 8a is fixed by an adhesive or a fitting to be integrally configured.

In this embodiment, the heavy metal object 7 is prevented from coming into direct contact with the shaft 3 to prevent the socket body 5 from coming off due to aging. Since the other construction is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof is omitted.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 In this invention, the socket body, in which a heavy metal object having a large specific gravity is embedded, is fitted to the boundary between the club head body and the shaft as described above, so that swing balance, which is an important characteristic of a golf club, is achieved. It has an effect that it can be easily adjusted, and that weight adjustment and assembly work can be easily performed.
