GOLF-CLUB SHAFT.
Application filed August 4, 1924.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MILTON B. REACH, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Golf-Club Shafts, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to sectional golf shafts and includes the features of making the shaft of strips extending lengthwise thereof and of segmental cross sectional shape with a bore filled with compressible material, such as, for instance that employed for lamp wicks though it will be understood that the particular character of the material is not essential.
The accompanying drawing is a perspective view of a part of a shaft cut across at one point. I
The shaft is made up of a plurality of strips 1 extending lengthwise of the shaft and each is of segmental form in cross section. In securing these sections together glue is employed between their contacting inclined faces which are convergent inwardly. The sections are of such form and size that a central bore will be left extending axially of the shaft and this bore is filled with compressible material of preferably fibrous nature such for instance, like a lamp wick. Cotton fibers twisted together may be employed, the essential feature being that the material shall substantially fill the bore and be of a compressible character so as not to interfere with the sections assuming relative positions to make the exterior of the shaft cylindrical and smooth.
In other words, the compressible character of the material compensates for any irregularities in the section and allows taem to assume the desired position relative to each other to make the exterior of the shaft free from ridges.
Serial No, 730,012.
Glue is employed for uniting the sections, this being placed along the meeting faces or edges of the sections. The filling material prevents the glue from unduly accumulating on the interior of the shaft, where if the filling were not employed the glue would flow and harden at different points along the shaft, giving rise to irregularities and to the'liability of the hardened accumulations breaking off and rattling within the shaft to the annoyance of the temperamental golfer.
/Vith the compressible flexible core, a homogeneous article is produced.
In making the article, the strips are assembled around the filling cord or strip of textile material after glue has been applied to their edges and then the strips are bound together and the glue is allowed to dry; The glue squeezed out towards the interior will contact with the filling.
1. A. golf club shaft comprising a series of sections extending longitudinally of the shaft, and having their meeting edges in convergent planes, and glued together, said shaft having a bore extending axially thereof, and a compressible filling in said bore, and upon which the inner parts of the sections bear and by which it is radially compressed in assembly, substantially as described.
2. A golf club shaft comprising a series of sections extending longitudinally of the shaft, and having their meeting edges in convergent planes, and glued together, said shaft having a bore extending axially thereof, and a compressible filling of fibrous or textile material in said bore, and upon which the inner parts of the sections bear and by which it is radially compressed in assembly, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.
