Application led. May 8, i924. Serial No. 711,771.
This invention relates to golf clubs and has more particularly reference to means for securing the club head and 4shaft` together.
In'the art, as heretofore practiced, it is a .common expedient to reduce the lower end of the shaft thereby forming an offset thereon and to then slip the socket of the head over said reduced portion, the top of the socket coming against said offset, after which a rivet is passed transversely through the socket and reduced portion of the shaft. When the club head encounters a ball an excessive strain is placed upon the shaft at its weakest point, viz: between the rivet and the offset portion. Sometimes the lower end ofthe shaft is threaded and the socket is likewise threaded, the direction of the threads being such, as regards a right-handed or a left-handed player, that the impact of the club head against a ball is supposed to screw the head more tightly on the shaft. Such construction is however ineffective because the head is already screwed as tightly as possible on the shaft,that is until the end of the shaft engages the bottom of the socket and the offset on the shaft is not entirely done away with because the last thread on the shaftthat is the uppermost threadforms in effect an odset against which the socket .is brought home.
The main object and feature of this invention is to overcome the objection to the construction of the prior art. I
In the accompanying drawings the invention is disclosed in a concrete and preferred form in which:
Fig. 1 is a general view of one form of golf club embodying the invention.A
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view of the end portion of the shaft.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the socket associated withthe club head.
Fig. 4- is a longitudinal sectional view of the united socket and shaft.
The golf club chosen for illustrationcomprises ahead l with which is associated a shaft-socket 2. The head may be of any suitable character and may be associated with the shaft-socket in any suitable way. In the present instance the socket and head are integral.
The socket is made of metal and has an opening consistin of a sleeve-like portion 3 and an internal y threaded taper portion 4 that tapers inwardly from the sleeve-like portion. 5 is a wooden shaft having a taper end 6. The shaft itself may have a very gradual taper in accordance with known practice. Taper end 6 is smooth faced and is inserted into the socket by a turning movement, the threads of the socket acting to cut corresponding threads in the taper end. It will be seen from Fig. 4 that the taper end is not brought to the end of the taper socketand also that there is no offset on the shaft but that the sleeve-like portion of the socket overlies the shaft beyond the taper end. There is therefore no weakening of the shaft. The threads of the socket are formed ,in such direction, with regard to a righthanded or a left-handed person that the impact of the club head against a ball tends to turn the shaft into deeper engagement with the socket, and it is clear from the above that there is nothing-to prevent the turning movement of the head produced by the impact against the ball.
I claim:
1. A. golf club comprising: a club head, a
metallic shaft-socket associated with said head, said socket of taper formation and internally threaded, a wooden shaft having a threadless taper end and devoid of a shoulder that becomes threaded when rotatively inserted into the socket, the threads of the socket being formed in such direction that impact of the club head against a ball turns the shaft into deeper engagement with the socket.
2. A golf club comprising: a club head, a metallic shaft-socket associated therewith, said socket having an opening consisting of a sleeve-like portion and an internally threaded taper portion which latter tapers inwardly from the sleeve-like portion, a wooden shaft having a threadless taper end and devoid of a shoulder that becomes threaded when rotatively inserted into the socket, the sleeve-like portion of the socket overlying the shaft beyond its taper end, and the threads of the socket being formed in such direction that impact of the club head against a ball turns the shaft into deeper engagement with the socket.
Signed at Montclair in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey this '6th day of May, 1924.
