Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a replaceable golf club, and more particularly to a replaceable golf club, wherein user only needs to carry one primary rod and thirteen secondary rods without having to carry thirteen golf clubs, thereby facilitating the user carrying the golf club, and thereby reducing the weight of the golf club.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- The closest prior art of which the applicant is aware is disclosed in Taiwanese Patent Publication No. 371901, entitled by “Golf Club Connector”, which disclosed a golf club including two stages that are connected by a shock absorbing connector. However, the user has to carry many golf clubs (the whole golf set includes thirteen golf clubs), thereby causing inconvenience to the user when carrying the many golf clubs.
- The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantage of the conventional golf club.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a replaceable golf club, wherein user only needs to carry one primary rod and thirteen secondary rods without having to carry thirteen golf clubs, thereby facilitating the user carrying the golf club, and thereby reducing the weight of the golf club.
- In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a replaceable golf club, comprising: a primary rod combined with a secondary rod, wherein:
- an upper insertion tube is inserted into a distal end of the primary rod, the upper insertion tube includes an upper shock absorbing portion rested on and flush with the distal end of the primary rod; and
- a lower insertion tube is inserted into a distal end of the secondary rod, the lower insertion tube includes a lower shock absorbing portion rested on and flush with the distal end of the secondary rod, and the lower shock absorbing portion is secured with the upper shock absorbing portion.
- Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a partially exploded perspective view of a replaceable golf club in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective assembly view of a replaceable golf club in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 3 is a plan cross-sectional assembly view of the replaceable golf club as shown in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a schematic assembly view of the replaceable golf club as shown in FIG. 3 in use; and
- FIG. 5 is a schematic assembly view of the replaceable golf club as shown in FIG. 3 in use.
- Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS.1-3, a replaceable golf club in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a
primary rod 30 combined with asecondary rod 40, which are made of carbon fiber. Theprimary rod 30 is formed with aninsertion hole 31, and thesecondary rod 40 is formed with aninsertion hole 41. - An
upper insertion tube 10 made of metallic material is inserted into theinsertion hole 31 of theprimary rod 30, and alower insertion tube 20 made of metallic material is inserted into theinsertion hole 41 of theprimary rod 40. Theupper insertion tube 10 is fitted with thelower insertion tube 20, so that theprimary rod 30 may be combined with thesecondary rod 40 to form a golf club as shown in FIG. 3. - The
upper insertion tube 10 is a hollow tube, and includes aninsertion portion 11 inserted into and secured in theinsertion hole 31 of theprimary rod 30 by adhesive glue. Theupper insertion tube 10 includes an uppershock absorbing portion 12 formed on one end of theinsertion portion 11 and having an outer diameter greater than that of theinsertion portion 11. The uppershock absorbing portion 12 may be rested on and flush with a distal end of theprimary rod 30. - The
upper insertion tube 10 has an inner wall having a first portion formed with ascrew hole 13, and a second portion formed with aguide groove 14 having an inner diameter greater than that of thescrew hole 13. - The
lower insertion tube 20 is also a hollow tube, and includes aninsertion portion 21 inserted into and secured in theinsertion hole 41 of thesecondary rod 40 by adhesive glue. Thelower insertion tube 20 includes a lowershock absorbing portion 22 formed on one end of theinsertion portion 21 and having an outer diameter greater than that of theinsertion portion 21. The lowershock absorbing portion 22 may be rested on and flush with a distal end of thesecondary rod 40. - The
lower insertion tube 20 includes ashaft portion 23 formed on and protruded from the lowershock absorbing portion 22. Theshaft portion 23 of thelower insertion tube 20 may be inserted into theguide groove 14 of theupper insertion tube 10, and has a distal end formed with ascrew portion 24 that may be screwed into thescrew hole 13 of theupper insertion tube 10. - In assembly, the
insertion portion 11 of theupper insertion tube 10 is initially inserted into and secured in theinsertion hole 31 of theprimary rod 30 with the uppershock absorbing portion 12 being rested on and flush with the distal end of theprimary rod 30, and theinsertion portion 21 of thelower insertion tube 20 is inserted into and secured in theinsertion hole 41 of thesecondary rod 40 with the lowershock absorbing portion 22 being rested on and flush with the distal end of thesecondary rod 40 as shown in FIG. 1. - The
shaft portion 23 of thelower insertion tube 20 is then inserted into theguide groove 14 of theupper insertion tube 10, and thescrew portion 24 is then screwed into thescrew hole 13 of theupper insertion tube 10, until the uppershock absorbing portion 12 is rested on the lowershock absorbing portion 22, so that theprimary rod 30 may be combined with thesecondary rod 40 to form a golf club as shown in FIG. 3. - Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the
primary rod 30 may be mated with asecondary rod 40 and astriking head 50 to form a golf club as shown in FIG. 4, and may be mated with asecondary rod 400 and astriking head 500 to form another golf club as shown in FIG. 5. Thus, theprimary rod 30 may be mated with different kinds of secondary rods 40 (usually thirteen secondary rods 40), so that the user only needs to carry one primary rod and thirteen secondary rods without having to carry thirteen golf clubs, thereby facilitating the user carrying the golf club. - The upper
shock absorbing portion 12 of theupper insertion tube 10 is formed with adetachment hole 120, and the lowershock absorbing portion 22 of thelower insertion tube 20 is formed with adetachment hole 220, so that the user may use two hook-shaped wrenches to lock thedetachment hole 120 of the uppershock absorbing portion 12 and thedetachment hole 220 of the lowershock absorbing portion 22, and to rotate theupper insertion tube 10 and thelower insertion tube 20 toward opposite directions, thereby detaching theprimary rod 30 from thesecondary rod 40. - In conclusion, the replaceable golf club in accordance with the present invention has the following advantages.
- 1. The upper
shock absorbing portion 12 and the lowershock absorbing portion 22 are mounted between theupper insertion tube 10 and thelower insertion tube 20, thereby achieving a shock absorbing effect. - 2. The user only needs to carry one primary rod and thirteen secondary rods without having to carry thirteen golf clubs, thereby facilitating the user carrying the golf club, and thereby reducing the weight of the golf club.
- 3. The screwing direction of the
screw portion 24 of thelower insertion tube 20 and thescrew hole 13 of theupper insertion tube 10 is different from the direction of the striking force of the golf club, so that theprimary rod 30 may be combined with thesecondary rod 40 stably and rigidly. - 4. The upper
shock absorbing portion 12 of theupper insertion tube 10 is formed with adetachment hole 120, and the lowershock absorbing portion 22 of thelower insertion tube 20 is formed with adetachment hole 220, thereby facilitating the user detaching theprimary rod 30 from thesecondary rod 40. - Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
