Application filed December 14,1913. Serial No. 266,871.

To all whom it may concern)" Be it: known that I, W1LLIAM F: Frrz I MAURI E, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cypress Hills, in the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kin'gs, city and State of New York have invented an Improvement in. Golf-Club Attachments, of which the following is a specification. 1

This invention relates to an improvement in. golf club attachments, and particularly to, attachments to be employed in conjunctionfwithgolf clubs usually known' as irons,including cleeks, mid-irons, .lofters and putters, as'wellasothers, Amongthose knowing the facts, it is recognized that golfers .as a rule are very particular in. select-- ing golf clu s. In .someinstances, where the head of the; golf club is satisfactory, the Y shaft is otherwise {and for example, in other instances, where the shaft is sufiiciently ri 'd, or on the other hand sufiiciently flex- 'bId,-the head of the golf-club is notsuHiciently=heavy to suit the ideas or notions of his selection of the club,

the golfer makin and the object, 0% the present invention is to overcome this difliculty. In doing so,-I provide and employ an attachmentwhich ma bereadily' connected to any iron golf clu having a flat or substantially flat reverse face, so that the weight of the club may be yaried and theadditional weight applied at the desired position, as. will be hereinafter more particularly described.

In the drawings:

My'present invention relates more par-.

ticularly to a plate 14, which may be .made

'plate is preferably of an elongated shape to conform generally with the head of-the club, and at the ends is provided with slots indicated at 16 and 17, preferably extending longitudinally of the plate, asindicated in the drawing; Screws 18 are passed through these slots and turned down in the tapped openings provided therefor in therear or reverse side of the head of thejclub, Alsoj as indicated in the drawing,-I niay em loy one or more flat plates 19, which con em! 1 in outline with-the plate 14, and whichiare alsocprovided with the slots 20, 1n position similar to the slots 16 and 17, so that by employing as many flat plates 19 as maybenecessary," the required additionaiweight. may be added .to th'eclub. Obviously due to the elongated slots, the positions ofthe' plates may be adjusted to, the required or desired place longitudinally in the 1 3 1 i In combination with an iron golf club head, anelongated plate substantially con gitudinal slots adjacent its opposite ends,

forming to-the outline of the head with lonan oval weighting knob'long'itudi'nally of f the plate between said slots, weighting plate means between the elongated, plate and the reverse face of the head adapted-.for supplying variable weight to the head and havmg slots conforming to the slots of theelongated plate, and screws through the slots .of the plates threaded into the head; whereby Plates ly g udinally adjustable upon the reverse, face of thehead,
