There is a need for a rapid and inexpensive method to produce accurately matched sets of golfing irons, and particularly irons the heads of which are further characterized by lightweight construction. No way has been known, to my knowledge, to produce irons having the unusually advantageous features of construction as are characterized by the present invention, and as facilitated by the method of fabrication to be described.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is a major object of the invention to meet the above need through provision of golfing iron capable of rapid and accurate balancing, and a method for accomplishing same. Basically, in accordance with the invention, the head of the iron is provided with an elongated opening extending within a base portion between the toe and heel; an elongated balancing plug extending within that opening; a relatively short plug also extends within the opening and is spaced from the elongated plug, and a selected amount of weighting material is received or placed in that space during the final balancing step. Such material may, for example, consist of a heavy metal powder such as tungsten, and the elongated balancing plug may consist of a metal substantially less dence than the head metal, as for example aluminum. Further, the retainer plug may retain the elongated plug in a counterbore and against a counterbore shoulder, and the short plug may be received in a bore near the heel of the head, so that the weighting material or powder is also located near the heel, as will be seen.
The method of producing the balanced iron typically involves the steps of forming a wax replica of the head and embedding a ceramic core in the base portion of the replica, that core having the configuration of the described bore and counterbore; forming a ceramic mold about the replica and curing same at elevated temperature to also melt out the wax; pouring molten head metal into the mold cavity and removing the mold after cooling of the metal head; removing the core from the head, as by acid etching; introducing an elongated lightweight metal balancing plug and a heavy metal powder into different interior portions of the opening and plugging the opening at its opposite ends. Different length balancing plugs may be used for different irons of a set to match or equalize their weights, and fine or accurate balance may be achieved by controlled introduction of the heavy metal powder, during the balancing procedure.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention, as well as the details of an illustrative embodiment, will be more fully understood from the following description and drawings, in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring first to FIGS. l-S the metallic head 10 of an upright golf club iron 9 includes a hosel ll, toe l2 and heel 13, a front face 14 to strike a golf ball, a rear side 15 recessed at 16, and a base portion I7 the bottom 17a of which is flat in the lateral direction viewed in FIG. 4, and longitudinally convex, downwardly. Front face 14 has an inclination a from a vertical plane which may vary as required for the intended use of the iron; thus, the illustrated iron is intended to represent any of the irons that a golfer might use, and including Nos. 1 to 9, wedge, putter, etc.
In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, an elongated through opening extends generally longitudinally within the base portion 17 between the heel and toe, that opening defined by a relatively short bore 18 proximate the heel and a relatively long counterbore 19. The latter may typically extend between the bore 18 and the toe 12, as best seen in FIG. 3. An elongated plug 20 extends within the counterbore 19 to provide balancing, different length plugs being used for different irons in a set, to provide coarse" equalization of weight. Plug 20 is held in place abutting the counterbore shoulder 21 by a short retainer plug 22 having threaded connection with a tapped section 19a of the counterbore, and a suitable hardenable fill material 23 fills the counterbore space between plug 22 and the curvature at which the toe l2 merges with the base lower face 17a. Material 23 may consist of metal powder in a hardenable carrier resin such as an epoxide, or an equivalent substance. Plug 20 may be of a material (as for example aluminum) substantially less dense than the steel metal of the club head.
A relatively short plug 24 is threaded into a tapped section 18a of the bore 18, and sealed in position by hardenable fill material 25 (of a composition similar to that of material 23, for example). The space 26 formed in the bore 18 between plugs 20 and 24 is of a predetermined size, and is adapted to receive an amount of heavy metal powder 27 (as for example tungsten) for fine weight balancing purposes, as will appear. A precise amount of such powder, as determined by balancing the club after completion of fabrication, is inserted into space 26 prior to insertion of the plug 24 and fill material 23. Space 26 is of a length substantially less than the length of plug 20, and has a volume such that it is normally only partly filled with sufficient weighting material 27 needed for balancing. Accordingly, the coarse and fine balancing means 20 and 27 also serve to lighten the weight of the club head as well as to enable accurate and rapid balancing as required to match" a set of irons. Note that the recess 16, which contributes to the light weight characteristics of the head, is directly above the base portion I7 that contains the plug 20. The inner wall 16a of the recess and the front face 14 define therebetween a relatively thin plate 28 which receives the direct impact developed when the head strikes the golf ball.
I-losel Ill includes an elongated stem 11a which contains an elongated bore 29, the latter also contributing to reduction of head weight. The stem is attached to the club shaft 30 as by a telescopic interfit of the shaft end over the stem, at 30a in FIG. 1.
The head may be fabricated, with unusual advantage, in accordance with steps outlined in FIGS. 6-8, described as follows: initially, a wax impression 35 of the head is made as seen in FIG. 6, the bore and counterbore 36 and 37 (corresponding to bore 18 and counterbore 19) are formed in the wax, and a ceramic insert or core 38 is implaced to extend in the bore and counterbore 36 and 37. One suitable ceramic consists of fused silica (94 percent by weight) and alumina (6 percent by weight), a product of American Lava, and of Fibeco. Inc. These steps are indicated at 39 in FIG. 8. Next, a ceramic mold is formed about the wax impression, as indicated at 40 in FIG. 8. This may be done by dipping the wax impression into a thick, liquid ceramic mix (as for example waterglass) applying stuccoing particles to the ceramic coat, (as for example powdered fused silica, or walnut shell particles) and repeating these steps to build up a reinforced liquid ceramic coat of about one fourth inch thickness on the wax impression. v
The coating is then baked at between l,500 and 2,000F to melt the wax and cure the ceramic coating, leaving a cavity of the outline form of the wax impression in FIG. 6, but with the plug 38 still in place. This step is indicated at 41 in FIG. 8. Next, as indicated by step 42, molten steel is poured into the mold cavity, as via the entrance formed by wax protrusion 43, the steel enveloping the plug 38. After cooling, the mold is broken off and the plug is removed as by an etch, a suitable etchant being sodium hydroxide applied at about l,I00F for about 1 hour. This final step is indicated at 44 in FIG. 8.
After removal of the steel protrusions corresponding to the wax protrusions 43 and 45, the bores 18 and 19 are tapped and the plugs fitted in position as previously described.
FIG. 9 illustrates balancing of the club as by supporting it at the handle, as by the bracket 46 and on a fulchrum 4'7, and at the head end at 48. Metal powder is poured at'49 into the space 26 until a plunger on a preset scales 50 is deflected downwardly, indicating that balance in relation to other irons has been achieved.
