- FIGS. 13A to 13F show different views of an embodiment with a marking similar to that of FIG. 6A, but in turn it is present multiple times in order to realize different angles of incidence. Detailed description of the invention
- Fig. 1 shows a club head 10, which head 10 comprises a striking face 12 forming the wide front portion 14, which front portion 14 also has a bore 16 for receiving the stem 18, see Fig. 5A, at the other end a handle 20, itself which is grasped by the golfer 22.
- the club head 10 has a narrower central area 24 and a rear area 26 (again wider here).
- a straight line 28 runs on the front area 14 via the central area 24 to the rear area 26. which line 28 is perpendicular to the striking surface 12 of the front portion 14 from the point of view of the user 22, but at least perpendicular to the horizontal line 13 of the striking surface 12.
- This line of sight is designated 30, 32 (for the two eyes of the user) in Fig. 5B the right angle between the line 28 and the striking surface 12 and the horizontal line 13 at 34, in Fig. 1 is indicated.
- the golfer will thus align the line 28 of the impact head 10 so that it is aligned with the target point of the golf ball, the golf hole.
- the vertical orientation of the striking surface 12 with respect to the plane of the ground is also important on which the ball is to move. To raise the ball a little, the clubface 12 with respect to the ground, the grass surface of the golf course, not exactly perpendicular, but form a slightly larger angle 36.
- the angle 36 should thus be adjusted as accurately as possible in order to achieve that the golf ball comes to rolling after a brief glide, and not, which at a too large angle 36, the z. B. at 97 °, could happen, hopes and thus comes later rolling.
- the angle 36 that the striking surface 12 forms with respect to the bottom surface 38 should be thus be precisely adjustable, including an alignment arrangement is provided, which will now be described.
- a bore 40 is provided, see Fig. 6A, with a first, the golfer 22 visible mark in the form of a circumferential line, such as a circle 42 on a first plane 44, and with a second the golfer 22 visible through the first opening 40 mark 46 in the form of a point or a circular area on a second plane 48, wherein the arrangement is such that at a certain orientation of the club head to the user's eye, see Fig. 5B, the second marker 46th within the first marker 42 is visible to the user's eye in a certain way.
- the point 46 is located exactly in the middle of the circle 42.
- the first mark 140 is a rectangle with inserted semicircles or an oval with a first radius
- the second mark 46 is a circle 146 with a second same or smaller radius.
- Fig. 7 shows a representation without side walls, in which case in the rear area 226, a receptacle 50 for a Weight insert 52 is provided, which may extend as far as into the interior of the central region, however, that the marking point 246 is not obscured.
- weight inserts 52 may be selected with the appropriate weight, the weight reduction occurring, for example, by the length of the weight insert 52 being different, with FIG. 7 showing three different lengths.
- the weight insert 52 may include a threaded engagement 54 that can be snugly received in a corresponding threaded bore 50.
- the side walls of the hollow profile can also be formed by exchangeable weights 152 or 252.
- the side walls of the hollow profile can also be formed by exchangeable weights 152 or 252.
- two opposing side walls are formed by such weights 152, or 252, wherein they can be clamped together by means of a clamping screw 54 and with the other parts of the head, including a side wall or a clamping piece for the thread of Threaded screw 54 may have matching threaded hole 56.
- inserts 152, 252 of different lengths embody different weights.
- the head can have the shape of an aircraft in plan view.
- Figs. 9A to 9G there is shown in various views an embodiment in which the bore 940 is superimposed by a cross-forming slot. Through this cross-shaped opening, the likewise cross-shaped mark 946 can be anvinstrument, which is located on the second level 948. This embodiment allows a very accurate alignment.
- FIGS. 10A to 10F show, in various views, an embodiment with a truncated, thus shortened, first marking area 1044 for a marking 1040, which, when properly aligned, continue in the second level marker lines 1040 1048.
- larger deviations are faster to recognize and correct.
- FIGS. 11A-11F illustrate in various views an uninterrupted straight line 1128 embodiment.
- the alignment of the lower level markings 1146 and 1147, respectively, is accomplished by alignment in the marginal slots
- the relevant mark for.
- the bore or circle 40, 42 of FIG. 4, or the slot 1140 of FIG. 11E may be multiple in different positions, see numerals 42-1 and 1140-1.
- FIGS. 12A-12F show various views of a paired marker embodiment 1242, 1246 similar to the marker pair 142, 146 of FIG. 6B, but with this marker pair in multiple, reference numerals 1242-1, 1246-1, and 1242-2. 1246-2 to realize different angles of incidence 36 by selecting a corresponding pair by varying the lower landmarks 1246, 1246-1, and 1246-2 relative to the associated upper landmarks 1242, 1242-1, and 1242-2 along the straight line 1228 are shifted.
- FIGS. 13A to 13F show different views of an embodiment with marking pairs 1342, 1346, etc., similar to FIG. 6A, but again in multiple form, here as above, in order to realize different angles of incidence.
- the invention can be used commercially in golf club construction.
