Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the durability of the grip main body of a rubber grip and to enable the wear of the main body to be recognized immediately by placing a wear-resistant material in the severely worn part of the grip main body. SOLUTION: A grip main body 2 uses a wear-resistant material 3 or a low- friction material 3 in the severely worn part X of the grip main body 2. the remaining areas H being formed integrally from a high-friction material 4. For the wear-resistant material 3, a rubber material composed chiefly of natural or synthetic rubber with a reinforcing agent blended is preferably used, and for the low-friction material 3 a resin material is desirable. Preferably the high-friction material 4 is composed chiefly of natural rubber with rubber- processing extension oil, a synthetic plasticizer, and a liquefied resin or the like blended therein.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grip for a golf club, and more specifically, in a rubber grip, the durability of the grip body is improved by arranging a wear-resistant material at a location where the wear of the grip body is severe. The present invention relates to a grip for a golf club in which the wear is improved and, when worn, the grip can be identified immediately.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a grip of a golf club is formed by winding a rubber-like elastic material such as rubber or resin material having a large friction coefficient or a strap-like leather as a material to prevent slipping when the golf club swings. Although it is configured in a shape, it was difficult to realize that it is hard to slip and that it is hard to wear with a single material.

[0003]

By the way, in the conventional rubber grip, since it is made of a material having a large friction coefficient such as rubber or resin material which is easily worn, in order to prevent the grip from slipping, the rubber grip can be shortened in a short period of time. The grip needed to be replaced. Also, the wear area of the grip is
Although it depends on the size of a golfer's hand, grip strength, etc., it is known that a general golfer wears in a certain area.

Further, in the case of the conventional rubber grip, no means has been taken to make the golfer aware of the worn state of the grip, the time of replacement, etc. Therefore, the golf club that is frequently used and the golf club that is rarely used. There is a problem in that the form of the grip may be different, and as a result, stable golf play cannot be performed due to differences in feeling and the like.

Therefore, the present invention has focused on such a conventional problem, and by arranging a wear resistant material at a place where it is easily worn, it is possible to extend the durability and life of the grip. It is intended to provide. Another object of the present invention is to provide a grip for a golf club, which allows a golfer to recognize the worn state and the replacement time when the grip is worn.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a grip for a golf club in which a grip body formed of a friction material such as rubber is attached to the base end portion of a golf club shaft. The gist of the present invention is to dispose a wear resistant material at a location where the grip body is heavily worn and to integrally mold the grip body.

The wear resistant material is natural rubber or S
BR, BR, NBR, CR, EPDM, CSM, AR,
With synthetic rubber such as Pu as the main component, carbon black,
It is preferable to use a rubber material containing a reinforcing agent such as silica. In addition, in a golf club grip in which a grip main body made of a friction material such as rubber is attached to the base end of the golf club shaft, the places where the grip main body is worn out are distinguished from the outer layer material and the outer layer material. The gist is to have a two-layer structure with a possible colored inner layer material.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and by arranging the wear resistant material at a location where the grip body is heavily worn, it is possible to prevent replacement of only a part of the grip body, and as a result, The durability and life of the grip can be extended. In addition, by using a two-layer structure of an outer layer material and a colored inner layer material that can be discriminated from the outer layer material, the portion of the grip body where the wear is severe is made to a golfer when the outer layer material is worn and the inner layer material is exposed. By making it possible to recognize the wear state and the replacement time, it is possible to play a stable golf.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged sectional view of a golf club grip showing a first embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a club shaft, 2 is a grip main body made of rubber or the like, and the grip main body 2 is A wear-resistant material 3 or a low friction material 3 is used at a portion X where the grip body 2 is heavily worn, and the other region H is integrally formed by a high friction material 4.

As the wear resistant material 3, natural rubber, SBR, BR, NBR, CR, EPDM, CSM,
It is preferable to use a rubber material containing a synthetic rubber such as AR or Pu as a main component and a reinforcing agent such as carbon black or silica, and as the low friction material 3, for example,
Polypropylene, polyethylene, fluorinated ethylene, AB
Resin materials such as S resin and polycarbonate are preferable.

The high friction material 4 is, for example, natural rubber, SBR, BR, NBR, CR, EPDM, CSM,
It is preferable to mix a synthetic rubber such as AR or Pu as a main component with an extension oil for rubber processing, a synthetic plasticizer, a liquid resin and the like. Further, the location X where the grip body 2 is severely worn,
Generally from the grip end of the grip body 2 130mm ~
The area between 180 mm.

With the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to prevent the grip from being replaced for a short period of time due to abrasion of only a part of the grip body 2 without impairing the original function of the rubber grip, and as a result, the durability of the grip is improved. It is possible to extend the durability and the service life. Next, FIG. 2 shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment includes a portion X where the grip body 2 made of rubber or the like is heavily worn, and has a thickness of about 1 mm. The outer layer material 2a and the inner layer material 2b colored so as to be distinguishable from the outer layer material 2a have a two-layer structure.

The portion having the two-layer structure may have the two-layer structure at the portion X where the wear is heavy as described above or at the whole. In addition, the location X where the grip body 2 is severely worn
As in the first embodiment, the grip body 2
The area between 130 mm and 180 mm from the grip end is preferred. With the above configuration, when the outer layer material 2a is worn and the inner layer material 2b is exposed, the golfer is made to recognize the worn state and the replacement time, and stable golf play can be performed. It is something that can be done.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, by arranging the wear resistant material at a location where the grip body is heavily worn, it is possible to prevent the grip body from being replaced due to wear, and as a result, It has the effect of extending the durability and life of the grip. In addition, by using a two-layer structure of an outer layer material and a colored inner layer material that can be discriminated from the outer layer material, the portion of the grip body where the wear is severe is made to a golfer when the outer layer material is worn and the inner layer material is exposed. There is an effect that it is possible to make golf play stable by making the wear state and the replacement time recognized.
