AMERIC EDWIN FLAXMAN, OF PITTENWEEM, SCOTLAND.
HANDLE 0R GRIPPING-SURFAGE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 9, 191 '7.
Application filed November 11, 1915. Serial No. 60,937.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, AMERIC EDWIN FLAX- MAN, a subject of the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and resident of St. Nicholas, Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland, surgeon, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Handles or Gripping-Surfaces, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to handles, shafts, or gripping surfaces and particularly to the handles or shafts of billiard cues, golf clubs, bats, mallets, and such like and it has for its object to provide an improved grip device therefor.
In accordance with this invention the device consists of a sleeve, tube, collar or the equivalent carried on or secured to the shaft of the cue, club, bat or the like in such nianner that the shaft may move or vibrate within or independently of the grip device.
In order that this invention may be clearly understood I have hereunto appended explanatory drawings which show by way of illustration or example several different forms of the device.
The drawing is a section of the handle or shaft of a golf club.
In the device as shown the shaft of the golf club 47' is preferably reduced as shown at L8 to give a spring to the shaft which is completely inclosed by a metal tube or sleeve (+9 whose ends are supported on a pair of rings 50, 51. On the outside of the tube 49 end rings 52, 53 may be also provided, the ring 59 being slipped on to the end of the shaft proper and having a flange 54adapted to fit over the end of the tube, the whole arrangement being such that the said fittings may be slipped on over the end of the shaft. The tube 49 and the rings 50, 51, 52, 53 are firmly secured in place by means of pins 55, 56 so that the tube is incapable of rotation, or they may be screwed andpinned on the shaft. Fitted over the tube 49 is the usual leatherwinding 57 so that the handle has the outward appearance of an ordinary solid Copies 01' this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing t he shaft. In addition to the improved grip which is afforded by the said intervention of the tube it also lessens the shock to the hands and arms and altogether produces a smoother drive. These said advantages may be further enhanced by perforating the metal tube or by forming a number of narrow slits in it. The tube is covered with leather in the ordinary way so that there is no alteration to the general appearance of the handle. The tube or sleeve portions may be ofany desired length and may take up only the handle proper or extend to a greater length. A tubular grip device having fixed ends as shown in the drawing may be readily applied to a billiard one or to a bat, mallet or other shaft or handle.
Claims: 1
1. A golf club handle consisting of a sleeve surrounding the handle proper and in spaced relation therefrom except at the extreme ends where the sleeve and handle proper are immovably secured together, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
2. A golf club handle having a metal gripping tube positioned upon the handle proper and having a space between the shaft proper and the tube, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
3. A handle having the usual shaft proper made with a portion thereof tapered and weakened and surrounded by a rigid tubular member within which it is free to vibrate.
4-. A handle having an inner member, an outer inclosing member, an annular space between the members to permit of vibration of the inner within theouter member, and an outer covering upon the said inclosing member;
