Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a shock-absorbing golf-club head, particularly to one possible to effectively absorb wrenching and shock force caused by batting to achieve an effectiveness of shock absorbing, shock lessening and stability of ball controlling.
- Generally, when a golfer swings a golf club in striking a ball, the striking face of the golf club will give rise to a kind of wrenching and shock force, which may hurt a golfer's wrists.
- In order to eliminate such drawback, some conventional golf-club head is integrally provided inside with a shock-absorbing layer for absorbing the wrench and shock force caused by hitting. The U.S. Pat. No. 5,772,527 is a typical example.
- In accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 5,772,527, the
striking face 21 of a golf-club head 2 is provided with arecess 22 havingprojection 23 around a front circumferential edge to be fixedly mounted with ametal face plate 25 by welding, closely sealing therecess 22 and forming an intermediate hollow with aslot 24 on upper edge for injecting shock-absorbing material into therecess 22 to form a shock-absorbinglayer 1, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3. - However, the wrench and shock force of a golf-club head caused by hitting takes place instantly and spreads so quickly that it can hardly be absorbed completely by the single shock-absorbing layer inside the striking face of the golf-club head.
- The objective of this invention is to offer a golf-club head having a function of effectively absorbing the wrench and shock force caused by hitting, enabling a golfer to acquire stability of ball controlling.
- This invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a known conventional golf-club head with a metal faceplate separated:
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the known conventional golf-club head:
- FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the known conventional golf-club head:
- FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a golf-club head with a metal faceplate separated in the present invention:
- FIG. 5 is a rear view of the golf-club head half-completed in the present invention:
- FIG. 6 is a front view of the golf-club head in the present invention:
- FIG. 7 is a rear view of the golf-club head in present invention:
- FIG. 8 is a side cross-sectional view of the golf-club head in the present invention.
- A preferred embodiment of a shock-absorbing golf-club head in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4 and5, includes a
front recess 32 in the striking face of a golf-club head, extending to the top and the rear portions of the striking face and communicating with arear recess 33 by means of a plurality of throughholes 321. Then, a shock-absorbinglayer 4 is formed into shape and affixed to the front and therear recesses metal face plate 34 is fixedly mounted on thefront recess 32, having dented portion around its circumferential edge fixed with the striking face synchronously when the shock-absorbinglayer 4 is formed and affixed to the front and therear recess - In addition, the shock-absorbing
layer 4 is formed by compression with shock-absorbing material such as pure rubber or thermoplastic elastomers (so called TPE). - Further, FIG. 8 shows that the front and the
rear recess layer 4 formed integrally to make up a double-deck shock-absorbing layer. By so designing, the front shock-absorbinglayer 4 in the striking face can directly absorb or lessen the wrench and shock force caused by hitting, and subsequently the rear shock-absorbinglayer 4 in therear recess 33 will completely absorb or eliminate the remaining shock force, thus obtaining an effectiveness of shock-absorbing, shock-lessening and stability of controlling balls. - While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
