Description

L'invention a pour objet des cannes de golf ou clubs transformables qui sont utilisées pour pousser la balle afin de la raire rouler sur le sol en direction d'un trou qui se trouve à une distance relativement faible, de l'ordre de quelques centimètres à quelques dizaines de mètres.The subject of the invention is golf clubs or transformable clubs which are used to push the ball in order to make it roll over the ground in the direction of a hole which is at a relatively short distance, of the order of a few centimeters. a few tens of meters.

Ces cannes sont désignées couramment sous le nom anglais de " puttersil . These rods are commonly referred to by the English name of "putters there .

Les règles du golf traditionnel ne définissent ni la forme, ni le poids ou les dimensions des cannes dites "putters". Il est seulement exigé que la face frontale de la tête qui frappe la balle soit lisse.The rules of traditional golf do not define the shape, weight or dimensions of the so-called "putter" rods. It is only required that the front face of the head hitting the ball be smooth.

Actuellement les joueurs de golf utilisent comme "putters" des cannes dont la tête peut présenter des formes et un poids très divers et dont le manche est fixé à la tête avec un angle qui varie d'une canne à l'autre.Currently golfers use as "putters" canes whose head can have very different shapes and weights and whose handle is fixed to the head at an angle which varies from one cane to another.

A ce jour, on trouve dans le commerce des cannes de golf du type "putter" ayant chacune une forme et un poids déterminés par construction.To date, there are commercially available golf clubs of the "putter" type, each having a shape and a weight determined by construction.

Il en résulte qu'un joueur qui désire utiliser en toutes circonstances le putter le mieux adapté aux conditions particulières du coup à jouer, doit utiliser un jeu de putters.It follows that a player who wishes to use in all circumstances the putter best suited to the particular conditions of the stroke to be played, must use a set of putters.

Un objectif de la présente invention est de procurer de nouvelles cannes de golf destinées à pousser les balles vers les trous, qui permettent de faire varier la forme et le poids de la tête et l'angle formé par le manche et par la surface d'appui au sol de la tête.An object of the present invention is to provide new golf clubs intended to push the balls towards the holes, which make it possible to vary the shape and the weight of the head and the angle formed by the handle and by the surface of head support.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de procurer des cannes de golf destinées à pousser les balles vers les trous qui comportent des dispositifs de visée simples qui permettent d'améliorer la précision des coups.Another object of the invention is to provide golf clubs intended to push the balls towards the holes which include simple aiming devices which make it possible to improve the accuracy of the shots.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de procurer des cannes de golf pour pousser les balles vers les trous qui peuvent être facilement transformées pour être adaptées à différents joueurs ou aux divers stades de jeu d'un même joueur.Another object of the invention is to provide golf clubs to push the balls towards the holes which can be easily transformed to be adapted to different players or to the various stages of play of the same player.

Les objectifs de l'invention sont atteints au moyen de cannes de golf transformables dont la tête est composée de plusieurs lames parallèles à la face frontale qui sont maintenues appliquées l'une contre l'autre par des vis.The objectives of the invention are achieved by means of transformable golf clubs, the head of which is made up of several blades parallel to the front face which are kept pressed against one another by screws.

De préférence, les deux lames centrales comportent chacune une demi-gorge et les deux demi-gorges sont placées en regard l'une de l'autre et elles définissent une gorge dans laquelle est engagée une extrémité d'une pièce de raccordement interchangeable.Preferably, the two central blades each have a half-groove and the two half-grooves are placed opposite one another and they define a groove in which is engaged one end of an interchangeable connecting piece.

Avantageusement une canne selon l'invention comporte une plaque pliée dont une partie est disposée parallèlement auxdites lames et dont l'autre partie, qui est située au-dessus desdites lames, est inclinée vers l'arrière et a une face avant réfléchissante et porte un repère rectiligne qui est perpendiculaire au pli entre les deux demi- plaques.Advantageously, a cane according to the invention comprises a folded plate, one part of which is arranged parallel to said blades and the other part of which, which is situated above said blades, is inclined towards the rear and has a reflective front face and carries a rectilinear mark which is perpendicular to the fold between the two half-plates.

Avantageusement la face frontale de la tête comporte une ou deux plages réfléchissantes portant chacune un repère rectiligne qui est perpendiculaire au bord inférieur de la tête.Advantageously, the front face of the head has one or two reflecting areas, each carrying a rectilinear mark which is perpendicular to the lower edge of the head.

L'invention a pour résultat de nouvelles cannes de golf du type "putters", qui sont facilement transformables et adaptables aux conditionsde jeu et aux aptitudes du joueurs.The invention results in new golf clubs of the "putter" type, which are easily transformable and adaptable to the playing conditions and the skills of the players.

On peut aisément modifier le.poids de la tête en ajoutant des lames supplémentaires ou en remplaçant certaines lames par des lames plus lourdes. On peut également munir la tête d'une lame dorsale ou lame arrière dont la forme peut varier selon les cas d'utilisation. Par exemple, on peut munir la tête selon les circonstances de lames dorsales présentant diverses formes de sabot pour faciliter le guidage de la tête sur le sol. De même, on peut munir la tête de lames intermédiaires en forme de Té dont le bord supérieur recouvre les bords supérieurs des lames frontale et dorsale.The head weight can easily be changed by adding additional blades or by replacing some blades with heavier blades. It is also possible to provide the head with a dorsal blade or rear blade, the shape of which can vary according to the use cases. For example, the head can be provided, depending on the circumstances, with back blades having various hoof shapes to facilitate guiding the head on the ground. Similarly, the head can be provided with intermediate T-shaped blades, the upper edge of which covers the upper edges of the front and back blades.

Du fait qu'elles comportent une pièce intermédiaire entre le manche et la tête et que cette pièce est engagée dans une gorge formée de deux demi-gorges creusées dans deux lames voisines de la tête, il est facile de débloquer la pièce intermédiaire en desserrant les lames et de la remplacer par une autre pièce intermédiaire qui peut avoir une forme différente, ce qui permet de modifier aisément l'angle entre le manche et la face inférieure de la tête simplement en interchan- geant la pièce intermédiaire.Because they include an intermediate piece between the handle and the head and that this piece is engaged in a groove formed by two half-grooves hollowed out in two blades adjacent to the head, it is easy to unlock the intermediate piece by loosening the blades and replace it with another intermediate piece which may have a different shape, which makes it possible to easily modify the angle between the handle and the underside of the head simply by interchanging the intermediate piece.

Les cannes de golf selon l'invention peuvent être munies. facilement d'un dispositif de visée qui peut être constitué par exemple par une plaque qui est pincée entre deux lames ou appliquée contre la face arrière de la lame dorsale et qui comporte une partie réfléchissante située au-dessus de la tête et inclinée vers l'arrière suivant un angle de 45°, de sorte que le joueur qui se prépare à pousser la balle peut voir, dans la face réfléchissante, l'image du piquet qui marque la position du trou à atteindre, ce qui lui permet de mieux viser celui-ci sans avoir à lever la tête. En variante, on peut placer une face réfléchissante sur la face frontale de la tête qui présente les mêmes avantages.The golf clubs according to the invention can be provided. easily of a sighting device which can be constituted for example by a plate which is pinched between two blades or applied against the rear face of the dorsal blade and which comprises a reflecting part situated above the head and inclined towards the backwards at an angle of 45 °, so that the player who is preparing to push the ball can see, in the reflecting face, the image of the stake which marks the position of the hole to be reached, which allows him to better target it without having to raise his head. Alternatively, a reflective face can be placed on the front face of the head which has the same advantages.

La figure 1 représente une canne de golf utilisée pour pousser la balle vers les trous. Cette canne est composée d'un manche rectiligne 1 qui est emboîté sur une pièce de raccordement 2, qui est fixée sur une tête 3. La tête est vue du côté de la face frontale. La face frontale comporte, en son centre, une plage lisse 4a qui sert à frapper la balle. Cette plage lisse est placée entre deux plages réfléchissantes 4b et 4c qui font fonction de miroir. Chaque face réfléchissante porte un repère vertical 4d, 4e constitué par un trait ou une fente.Figure 1 shows a golf club used to push the ball into the holes. This rod is composed of a straight handle 1 which is fitted onto a connecting piece 2, which is fixed to a head 3. The head is seen from the side of the front face. The front face has, in its center, a smooth pad 4a which is used to strike the ball. This smooth area is placed between two reflecting areas 4b and 4c which act as a mirror. Each reflecting face carries a vertical mark 4d, 4th constituted by a line or a slit.

Un manchon 5 est fixé sur le manche 1. Ce manchon porte une articulation 6 à axe horizontal autour de laquelle une tige 7 est articulée. La tige 7 est coulissante. Elle porte un curseur 8 qui est déplaçable le long de la tige. En faisant pivoter la tige 7 autour de l'articulation 6, on peut l'amener à l'horizontale dans la position représentée sur la figure 1 ou la replier contre le manche.A sleeve 5 is fixed to the handle 1. This sleeve carries an articulation 6 with a horizontal axis around which a rod 7 is articulated. The rod 7 is sliding. It carries a cursor 8 which is movable along the rod. By rotating the rod 7 around the articulation 6, it can be brought horizontally to the position shown in Figure 1 or fold against the handle.

On voit encore sur la figure 1 une plaque 9 ayant une face avant réfléchissante sur laquelle un repère vertical 10 est tracé. Cette plaque 9 sert également de miroir de visée.We also see in Figure 1 a plate 9 having a reflective front face on which a vertical mark 10 is drawn. This plate 9 also serves as an aiming mirror.

La figure 2 est une vue éclatée en perspective de la têt, 3. Celle-ci est composée de plusieurs lames verticales. Par exemple elle comporte deux lames centrales 11 et 12, une lame avant 13 et une lame arrière 14 dont les parois supérieure et inférieure peuvent avoir différentes formes. Ces lames sont parallèles à la face frontale.Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the head, 3. It is composed of several vertical blades. For example, it has two central blades 11 and 12, a front blade 13 and a rear blade 14 whose upper and lower walls can have different shapes. These blades are parallel to the front face.

Les lames centrales Il et 12 comportent chacune une demi-gorge 15a, 15b. Ces deux demi-gorges sont situées en regard l'une de l'autre et définissent une gorge 15 dans laquelle l'extrémité inférieure de la pièce de raccordement 2 est emboîtée. L'axe de la gorge 15 forme avec le bord inférieur des lames un angle a obtus.The central blades 11 and 12 each have a half-groove 15a, 15b. These two half-grooves are located opposite one another and define a groove 15 in which the lower end of the connecting piece 2 is fitted. The axis of the groove 15 forms an obtuse angle with the lower edge of the blades.

Chaque lame est percée de plusieurs trous, par exemple trois trous 16a, 16b, 16c qui sont alignés.Each blade is pierced with several holes, for example three holes 16a, 16b, 16c which are aligned.

Les trous situés dans la lame avant 13 sont filetés. Des vis 17a, 17b, 17c sont engagées de l'arrière dans les trous alignés 16a, 16b, 16c et vissées dans les filetages de la plaque avant 13. Ces vis maintiennent les lames solidement appliquées l'une contre l'autre et bloquent la pièce de raccordement 2 dans la gorge 15, de sorte qu'il est facile d'interchanger ladite pièce de raccordement. Bien entendu, les vis 17 pourraient être remplacées par d'autres moyens de fixation démontables équivalents.The holes in the front blade 13 are threaded. Screws 17a, 17b, 17c are engaged from the rear in the aligned holes 16a, 16b, 16c and screwed into the threads of the front plate 13. These screws keep the blades firmly applied against each other and block the connecting piece 2 in the groove 15, so that it is easy to interchange said connecting piece. Of course, the screws 17 could be replaced by other equivalent removable fixing means.

On voit sur la figure 2 la plaque 9 qui comporte une partie verticale 9a percée de deux trous 18a et 18b. Cette partie verticale 9a est maintenue appliquée contre la face arrière de la lame arrière 14 ou pincée entre deux lames par les deux vis 17a et 17b qui sont engagées dans les trous 18a et 18b.We see in Figure 2 the plate 9 which has a vertical portion 9a pierced with two holes 18a and 18b. This vertical part 9a is kept applied against the rear face of the rear blade 14 or pinched between two blades by the two screws 17a and 17b which are engaged in the holes 18a and 18b.

La plaque 9 est pliée à 45° et comporte une deuxième partie 9b qui est située au-dessus des lames et inclinée vers l'arrière et qui forme avec la face verticale 9a un angle β de l'ordre de 135°. La face avant de la plaque 9b est réfléchissante. Elle porte un repère rectiligne 10, par exemple une fente qui est perpendiculaire à la charnière 11 du pli entre les deux parties 9a et 9b.The plate 9 is folded at 45 ° and has a second part 9b which is located above the blades and inclined backwards and which forms with the vertical face 9a an angle β of the order of 135 °. The front face of the plate 9b is reflective. It carries a rectilinear mark 10, for example a slot which is perpendicular to the hinge 11 of the fold between the two parts 9a and 9b.

Lorsque le joueur se prépare à frapper la balle pour la faire rouler vers un trou, il peut voir sur la face réfléchissante 9b l'image du repère signalant le trou. Il place sa canne de telle sorte que l'image du repère signalant le trou se trouve sur le repère rectiligne 10 et soit sensiblement parallèle à celui-ci.When the player prepares to hit the ball to make it roll towards a hole, he can see on the reflecting face 9b the image of the mark indicating the hole. He places his cane so that the image of the mark indicating the hole is on the rectilinear mark 10 and is substantially parallel thereto.

La figure 3 représente un premier mode de réalisation de la.pièce de raccordement 2 entre la tête et le manche. Celle-ci présente une forme coudée deux fois. L'extrémité supérieure 2a s'emboîte à l'intérieur de l'extrémité creuse du manche. L'extrémité inférieure 2b s'emboîte dans la gorge 15. Dans cet exemple, les deux extrémités 2a et 2b sont parallèles, de sorte que lorsque le joueur déplace la tête parallèlement au sol le manche 1 forme avec le sol un angle égal à l'angle a.FIG. 3 represents a first embodiment of the connecting part 2 between the head and the handle. This has a double bent shape. The upper end 2a fits inside the hollow end of the handle. The lower end 2b fits into the groove 15. In this example, the two ends 2a and 2b are parallel, so that when the player moves the head parallel to the ground the handle 1 forms with the ground an angle equal to the angle a.

La figure 4 représente un autre mode de réalisation d'une pièce de raccordement 2 qui est coudée une seule fois, de sorte que les extrémités 2a et 2b ne sont plus parallèles et que le manche forme avec le sol un angle différent de l'angle a. On peut ainsi in- terchanger les pièces de raccordement que l'on engage dans la gorge 15 pour modifier à volonté l'angle du manche avec le sol.Figure 4 shows another embodiment of a connecting piece 2 which is bent only once, so that the ends 2a and 2b are no longer parallel and the handle forms with the ground an angle different from the angle at. It is thus possible to interchange the connecting pieces which are engaged in the groove 15 to modify the angle of the handle with the ground at will.
