Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a grip for a golf club, and more particularly, to a grip for a golf club that can sense the strength of the grip force.

[Conventional technology and problems]

During a golf swing, the grip of the golf club may slip or fall out. This is due to the centrifugal force generated by the swing, and often occurs when the grip of the golf club is not firmly gripped, or when the grip strength weakens during the swing. Therefore, in order to perform a stable golf swing, it is important to firmly grip the golf club.

Traditional golf club grips have different grips,
That is, since there is no structure for sensing the strength of the grip force, the player has no choice but to rely on his/her senses.

[Means for solving problems]

As a means to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an air chamber having an opening to the outside inside a grip main body having elasticity, and a sounding device that emits sound by air circulation in the opening. To provide a golf club grip characterized by being provided with.

[Effect]

According to the above means, when the player grasps the grip of the golf club, the air chamber in the grip body is compressed and the air in the air chamber flows out through the sounding body, so that the sounding body is filled with air. Sound is emitted by circulation. If the grip force is large, the sound generated will be loud, and if the grip force is small, the sound generated will be low. Therefore, the player can clearly confirm the magnitude of the grip force based on the volume of the sound generated when gripping the golf club.

Furthermore, when the grip force weakens during the swing, air flows into the air chamber within the grip body, and the sounding body also emits sound at this time. Therefore, the player can clearly confirm the weakening of the grip force during the swing by the sound generated.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to these figures, a grip 13 is attached to the rear end of a club shaft 11 which has a head 12 at its tip. The grip 13 includes a grip body 14 having elasticity. The grip body 14 is formed into a tapered cylindrical shape with a bottom, and the rear end of the shaft 11 is covered by the rear end of the grip body 14.

Inside the grip body 14, there is a grip body 14.
A plurality of (six in this case) cylindrical air chambers 15 are provided extending in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the air chambers 15 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the grip body 14. Each air chamber 15 opens at the rear end surface of the grip body 14. The air chamber 15 may extend from the rear end of the grip body 14 to near the tip of the grip body 14, but normally the rear end of the grip body 14 is mainly connected to one hand (in the case of a right-handed player). Because it is held tightly with the left hand),
It is sufficient that the air chamber 15 extends from the rear end side of the grip body 14 to about the middle of the grip body 14.

A sounding body 17 is provided in the opening 16 of each air chamber 15 to emit sound due to air circulation. Third
As shown in the drawings and FIG. 5, the sounding body 17 consists of a diaphragm 18 having an air passage hole 19, and a pair of support rings 20, 21 that grip the outer circumference of the diaphragm. When air flows through the air passage hole 19 of the diaphragm 18, the diaphragm 18 vibrates and produces sound.

The grip body 14 can be easily manufactured by vulcanization molding using synthetic rubber such as butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, etc. or natural rubber as a raw material. When manufacturing the grip main body 14 having the above-described shape, it is desirable to provide the grip mold with a core material for forming an air chamber in advance. Sounding body 17
can be attached to the opening 16 of the air chamber 15 after the grip body 14 has been molded.

In the above embodiment, when the player grips the grip 13 of the golf club as shown in FIG. 6, the air chamber 1 of the grip body 14 opens as shown in FIG.
5 is compressed and deformed, and the air in the air chamber 15 becomes the sounding body 1.
Since the air flows out through air 7, the diaphragm 18 of the sounding body 17 vibrates due to the air circulation and emits sound. If the grip force is large, the sound generated will be loud, and if the grip force is small, the sound generated will be low. Therefore, the player can clearly confirm the magnitude of the grip force based on the volume of the sound generated when the player grips the grip 13 of the golf club.

Furthermore, when the grip force weakens during the swing, the volume of the air chamber 15 within the grip body 14 increases, so that external air flows back into the air chamber 15 from the opening 16 through the sounding body 17. Therefore, the sound generator 17 emits sound at this time as well. Therefore, the player can clearly confirm the weakening of the grip force during the swing by the sound generated.

Although one embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various changes may be made to its constituent elements within the scope of the invention stated in the claims for utility model registration. I can do it. For example, the number of air chambers is not limited to the number of the above embodiments, and the air chambers may be formed in an annular shape along the circumferential direction of the grip body. In the case of such an annular air chamber, the grip body material is formed so that the air chamber is annularly opened at the rear end surface of the grip body material, and then this annular opening is closed by a ring body, and the ring body is connected to the outside. A hole communicating with the annular air chamber may be provided to serve as an opening of the air chamber, and the sounding body may be attached to this opening. Any other structure may be used as the sounding body.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, it is possible to clearly confirm the magnitude of the grip force when gripping a golf club by the magnitude of the sound generated when gripping the golf club, and moreover, it is possible to clearly confirm the magnitude of the grip force when gripping the golf club. It is possible to provide a grip for a golf club in which the weakening of the grip force can be clearly confirmed by the generation of a sound.
