FREDERICK WV. TAYLOR, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
G O L F- C L U B SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 732,137, dated June 30, 1903. Application filed February 21. 1903. Serial No. 144,402. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern;
Be it known that I, FREDERICK W. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Golf-Clubs, of which the following is a true and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof.
My invention relates to golf'clubs, and is applicable to those varieties of clubs which are generally known under the names of baffles, mashies, and niblicksthat is to say, clubs the faces of which slant backward to the ground or sole of the club at an angle of fifty-five degrees or less.
The object of my invention is to provide a club adapted to strike a golf-ball as it lies upon the ground below its horizontal central section and to impart to it in the act of giving it an upward blow a sharp backward rotation, which will counteract its tendency to roll forward when it pitches upon the ground and will cause the ball to fall dead.
In my former applicatiomfiled September 22, 1902, Serial No. 124,291, I have shown and described a club having the general features of my present club, except that, as there shown and described, the striking-face of the club is provided with outwardly-projecting teeth separated by sections of the flat face of the club, the teeth being relied upon to embed themselves in the ball, while the fiat intervening portions of the face of the club are relied upon to give direction to the ball, while, on the other hand, my present invention consists in forming the striking-face of the club made up entirely of projecting teeth placed so closely together as to leave practically no flat intervening portions of the face between them, the multiplicity of the teeth which come in contactwith the ball when it is struck preventing individual teeth from cutting out portions of the material of the ball and affording practically a strikingsurface which can be relied upon to give true direction to the ball, as well as to absolutely prevent the slipping of the club on the ball, so that true direction and a perfect backward spin is secured.
Reference being now had to the drawings,
in which my invention is illustrated, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the head of a club provided with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
A indicates the shaft of the club; B, the head of the club; 0, the face of the club; D, the ground or sole of the club. By preference the cutting edges of the face and sole of the club are rounded off, as indicated at E E, and the striking-face properto wit, the central portion of the face of the club--is formed of a metal plate F, having formed on its surface sharp projecting teeth, (indicated at F,) which are placed so closely together as to leave practically no fiat surface to the metal plate, the striking-surface consisting entirely of the closely-placed and of course symmetrically-projecting teeth.
I have shown the lower edge of the metal plate F as projecting at F somewhat below the plane of the sole of the club, this construction being for the purpose of enabling the club to take the ground somewhat in the rear of the ball, the projecting edge of the metal plate cutting easily into the turf, while the contact of the sole of the club is relied upon to prevent the club from following down into the earth too deeply. This feature of construction as well as the rounding of the meeting edges shown at E E is fully described and forms in part the subject-matter of my before-mentioned former application, my present invention relating entirely to the form of the striking-face of the club, as hereinabove described and hereinafter claimed.
Having now described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A golf-club having a face slanted backward at an angle of fifty-five degrees or less to its sole, said face being formed, over the portion of the club with which the ball is struck of closely placed outwardlyprojecting sharppointed teeth of such size and disposition that a number thereof are actually brought in contact with a struck go1f-ball and the teeth themselves constitute the face of the club.
