Abstract

The aim of the invention is to be able to change the length of the shaft of a golf club for transport purposes. To this end, the shaft consisting of at least two parts is separated or connected by means of a screw thread; the length of the shaft is changed by sliding elements of the at least two-part shaft inside each other; and the diameter of the inner hollow shaft parts differs such that the thinner lower shaft part (close to the shaft head) can be slid into the upper shaft part. The invention applies to golf clubs having a total length (shaft and club head) longer than approximately 106 cm.

Description

Golfschläger, insbesondere Putter, mit in der Länge veränderbarem Schlägerschaft Golf clubs, in particular putters, with a club shaft that can be changed in length
Beschreibung zur PatentanmeldungDescription of the patent application
Beschreibung des Problems:Description of the problem:
Bis vor wenigen Jahren war die maximale Länge von Golfschlägern bei ca. 47 Inch (ca.Until a few years ago, the maximum length of golf clubs was approximately 47 inches (approximately
120cm). Die bis heute üblichen Transporttaschen sind für diese (ehemaligen) Maximallängen ausgelegt. Die (öffentlichen) Transportmittel (Fluggesellschaften) akzeptieren Golfgepäck i.d.R. nur bis zu diesen Längenmaßen.120cm). The usual transport bags are designed for these (former) maximum lengths. (Public) means of transport (airlines) generally accept golf luggage. only up to these lengths.
Insbesondere bei Puttern ist den letzten Jahren eine Tendenz zu längeren Schlägerschäften feststellbar. Die gebräuchlichen Längen der Putter lagen bei 33 bis 37 Inch (83,82 bis 93,98 cm).In the past few years, in particular with putters, there has been a tendency towards longer club stocks. The usual lengths of the putters were 33 to 37 inches (83.82 to 93.98 cm).
Immer mehr Spieler benützen heute Schläger (Putter) mit Längen von 43 bis 60 Inch (110 bis ca. 150 cm).More and more players today use clubs (putters) with lengths from 43 to 60 inches (110 to approx. 150 cm).
Bei diesen Schlägern stellt sich das Transportproblem.The transport problem arises with these rackets.
Lösung:Solution:
Zum Transport müssen die Schäfte dieser Schläger verkürzt werden können. Hier bieten sich folgende technische Lösungen an: a) Trennung bzw. Verbindung von „oberem" und „unterem" Schaftteil mittels einem aa) Innengewinde bb) Aussengewinde.The shafts of these clubs must be shortened for transport. The following technical solutions are available here: a) Separation or connection of the “upper” and “lower” shaft part by means of an aa) internal thread bb) external thread.
Es bestehen beide Möglichkeiten da handelsübliche Schlägerschäfte innen hohl sind. Das Gewinde ist in einem Bereich angebracht, daß sich bei Trennung von oberem und unterem Schaftteil eine Maximallänge des „unteren Schaftteils inklusive Schlägerkopf" von 47 Inch (ca. 120 cm) ergeben. b) Verkürzung der SchaftlängeThere are both options because standard racket shafts are hollow on the inside. The thread is attached in such a way that a separation of the upper and lower shaft part results in a maximum length of the "lower shaft part including club head" of 47 inches (approx. 120 cm). B) Shortening of the shaft length
Der Schaft wird aus mindestens 2 Teilen gefertigt, die ineinander geschoben werden können, da die Teile unterschiedlichen Durchmesser aufweisen und innen hohl sind. In den Schaftteilen befindet sich ein Innen- bzw. ein Aussengewinde, die gegeneinander gedreht werden können. In der Endstellung sind die Schaftteile gegeneinander fixiert. Bei Lösen der Gewindeverbindung kann der dünnere, mit dem Schlägerkopf verbundene, untere Schaftteil, in den oberen Schaftteil geschoben werden. The shaft is made of at least 2 parts that can be pushed into each other because the parts have different diameters and are hollow on the inside. In the shaft parts there is an internal or an external thread that can be turned against each other. In the end position, the shaft parts are fixed against each other. When loosening the threaded connection, the thinner lower shaft part connected to the club head can be pushed into the upper shaft part.

PatentanspüchePatentanspüche
Durch diese Patentanmeldung wird Schutz begehrt für die Erfindung „verkürzbarer Schlägerschaft".This patent application requests protection for the invention of a "shortenable club shaft".
Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Schlägerschaft verkürzt werden kann durch a) die Trennung von mindestens 2 Schaftteilen.The invention is characterized in that the club shaft can be shortened by a) the separation of at least two shaft parts.
Trennung bzw. Verbindung von „oberem" und „unterem" Schaftteil erfolgt mittels einem aa) Innengewinde bzw. bb) Aussengewinde.The "upper" and "lower" shaft part are separated or connected by means of an aa) internal thread or bb) external thread.
Es bestehen beide Möglichkeiten da handelsübliche Schlägerschäfte innen hohl sind.There are both options because standard racket shafts are hollow on the inside.
Das Gewinde ist in einem Bereich angebracht, daß sich bei Trennung von oberem und unterem Schaftteil eine Maximallänge des „unteren Schaftteils inklusive Schlägerkopf von 47 Inch (ca. 120 cm) ergeben. oder b) die Verkürzung der Schaftlänge durch das Ineinanderschieben von mehreren Schaftteilen.The thread is attached in such a way that when the upper and lower shaft parts are separated, there is a maximum length of “lower shaft part including club head of 47 inches (approx. 120 cm). or b) the shortening of the shaft length by pushing together several shaft parts.
Der Schaft wird aus mindestens 2 Teilen gefertigt, die ineinander geschoben werden können, da die Teile unterschiedlichen Durchmesser aufweisen und innen hohl sind. In den Schaftteilen befindet sich ein Innen- bzw. ein Aussengewinde, die gegeneinander gedreht werden können. In der Endstellung sind die Schaftteile gegeneinander fixiert. Bei Lösen der Gewindeverbindung kann der dünnere, mit dem Schlägerkopf verbundene, untere Schaftteil, in den oberen Schaftteil geschoben werden. Die Länge der Schaftelemente wird so gewählt, daß die Maximallänge des ineinandergeschobenen Schafts und des Schlägerkopfes 47 Inch (ca. 120 cm) nicht übersteigt. The shaft is made of at least 2 parts that can be pushed into each other because the parts have different diameters and are hollow on the inside. In the shaft parts there is an internal or an external thread that can be turned against each other. In the end position, the shaft parts are fixed against each other. When loosening the threaded connection, the thinner lower shaft part connected to the club head can be pushed into the upper shaft part. The length of the shaft elements is chosen so that the maximum length of the telescoped shaft and the club head does not exceed 47 inches (approx. 120 cm).
