DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf club grip attached to a shaft end of a golf club.
The present invention preferably relates to a grip attached to a putter club, and also relates to a grip attaching jig for attaching the grip to a shaft.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a golf club grip is formed by winding a skin or woven cloth around a shaft, or by using a synthetic resin or rubber material having elasticity, regardless of the type of the club. The surface had flexibility (JP-A-6-205861). Further, since the grip of the golf club is formed of leather, rubber, or the like, and is made in pursuit of only the performance in use, it has little personality and may be mistaken for another player during play. In order to provide the grip with the user's originality,
In Japanese Patent No. 6630, a design is applied to a grip mounting position of a shaft by plating or etching, and a transparent cylindrical grip is fitted on the shaft to make the decoration visible from the outside. As shown in FIG. 4, the grip 2 of the putter club 1 has a shaft 3 inserted into the core of the grip 2 as far as it will go, and the lower side of the grip 2 when the grip 2 is gripped toward the grip end. It was formed so that it gradually became thicker. Attachment of the grip 2 to the shaft 3 at the time of replacement is performed manually. For example, in a putter grip, a mark such as a grip surface and a face surface of a putter head are used by a worker who specializes in repairing and manufacturing a golf club. It was installed so that it would be a right angle due to the sense of.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 5-31764 describes a golf club in which the entire golf club is formed of wood, which is a combustible material. An imitation of the article, which is not a grip used in an actual golf club as in the present application.

[0003]

In the above prior art,
Since the grip of a golf club is formed by winding an elastic rubber material or leather, the grip surface has flexibility (elasticity). It was difficult for the image of the putt to be easily transmitted because the sense of impact at the time of the collision was not easily transmitted directly to the hand, and due to the elasticity of the grip, the direction of the ball and the putter head tended to be out of order due to impact. In addition, there is a problem that the rubber grip is easily slipped by sweat and easily deteriorates with age. In addition, in the case of a rubber grip, particularly a grip for a putter club, there is a problem that the thicker grip end becomes heavier in order to stabilize the directionality. In addition, rubber grips were inexpensive but lacked a sense of luxury and did not match high-grade putters.

[0004] Also, the shaft is decorated with plating or the like,
With a transparent grip fitted, the golf club can have the user's originality, but the decoration is limited because the shaft is decorated, and the grip must be transparent, so the grip surface must be transparent. There is a problem that it is difficult to form a non-slip surface and it is easy to slip, and there is a problem that decoration can not be seen if the anti-slip processing is performed on the grip surface, and the grip is formed with a transparent resin material, so in this case there was also no luxury .

In addition, since the shaft of the grip is deep into the shaft, there are limitations on the shape of the grip, such as bending, and the degree of freedom in designing the grip is limited. Also, if the grip of the putter club is manually attached to the shaft when attaching it, the marked line provided on the grip surface or grip,
It could not be mounted with high precision so that the mark and the face surface of the putter head were at right angles. It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf club grip, a putter club, and a grip mounting jig that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems,
In the present application, a golf club grip is formed from wood or a highly rigid wood-based material impregnated with a resin material. Wood or wood-based materials are hard, that is, they are not deformed by external force, can form a light and beautiful grip of wood grain, have good workability, and have a warm feeling when gripped. American walnut, which is used as a stock material especially for sniper rifles, is used from the viewpoint that such a sniper rifle etc. is used outdoors and the stock part is easily adapted to the shooter's hand so that the target can be aimed accurately. Because it is a material that is used, the grip using this becomes a grip that is easy to adapt to the hands of golfers,
preferable.

Since the surface of the grip for a golf club is oil-finished with linseed oil, the grip is excellent in waterproofness. In addition, since the anti-slip surface is engraved on the grip surface,
Prevents slippage due to sweat, etc. By inlaying the inlay on the grip surface, the inlay can be used for marking (standard) at the time of putting, as well as adding value to arts and crafts, full of luxury and originality of the user Can be made.

[0008] By integrally attaching the shock receiving member to the grip end to prevent direct transmission of a shock to the grip body, even when a golf club is thrown into a caddy bag, the grip end may be chipped, The grip is suitable without cracking.

When the grip is mounted on the shaft end of a putter club, a shaft mounting hole is formed at a depth of about half the total length of the grip mounted on the putter club, and the shaft mounting hole is formed in the shaft mounting hole. Freely fit the shaft end,
The space between the shaft mounting hole and the shaft is filled and fixed with a filling adhesive. By using the filling adhesive, the strength of the grip is improved, and since the shaft mounting hole is only about half of the entire length of the grip, the grip part deeper than that can be curved inward as a whole, It becomes easy to hold.

[0010] When such a wood or wood-based grip is connected to the shaft, a substantially flat grip surface provided on the face surface of the club head and the grip or a mark provided on the grip as a grip mounting jig. When using a jig that positions and fixes the position of the shaft and the grip so that the angle becomes a predetermined angle, no special technology is required,
A grip can be attached. More specifically, the grip mounting jig has a placement surface on which the face surface of the putter is placed, and a contact surface that contacts the grip surface, and the placement surface and the contact surface are orthogonal to each other. By using the grip mounting jig, a mounting angle between a mark such as a grip surface and a putter face surface can be mounted at a predetermined angle with high accuracy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. A putter club 1 which is a golf club includes a grip 2, a shaft 3 and a head 4. The grip 2 includes a grip body 2A and an impact receiving member 11, and a shaft mounting hole 5 is formed at a depth of about half of the entire length as shown in FIG.
The reason for this is that the American walnut has a greater rigidity than the conventional rubber grip), so that one shaft end is loosely fitted into the shaft mounting hole 5 and the shaft mounting is performed. The space between the hole 5 and the shaft 3 is filled and fixed with a filling adhesive 6, and the club head 4 is fixed to the other shaft end. Filling adhesive 6
Is, for example, an epoxy two-component mixed adhesive. The grip body 2A is formed from an American walnut. American walnut is hardwood, has no aging (aging), has good grain, good workability, and has lower specific gravity than rubber material used to form grip 2. have. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the grip 2 gradually increases in diameter toward the grip end and has a shaft mounting hole 5 in the grip 2.
The whole is formed in a curved shape toward the lower side when the user grips the grip 2 more toward the grip end.

A grip surface 7 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grip body 2A, which is a flat surface on the upper side when the user grips the grip 2. An inlay (embedding member) 8 formed in an appropriate shape (a shape desired by the user) made of different kinds of wood, metal, plastic, or the like is inletted (embedded) on the grip surface 7. The inlay 8 serves as a mark and a mark for the face surface 9 together with the grip surface 7, and is also a decoration of the grip 2. Further, a knurl and a checkering process (lattice-like groove process) 10 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grip 2 to prevent the hand and the grip 2 from slipping due to sweat or water. The checker processing 10 also forms part of the decoration of the grip 2, and the fineness of the checker processing 10 and how much the checker processing 10 is applied to the outer peripheral surface depends on the preference of the user. In addition, as a non-slip provided on the outer peripheral surface of the grip 2 according to a user's preference, a matte finish (dimple process) having a plurality of small dents can be applied. An appropriate pattern or name is engraved on the outer periphery of the grip 2 according to the user's preference.

An impact receiving member 11 is fixed to the grip end. The impact receiving member 11 is made of wood, metal, rubber, or the like different from the grip body 2A. In the present embodiment, the impact receiving member 1 is made of ebony via a white spacer 12.
1 is attached. The impact receiving member 11 prevents the impact from being directly transmitted to the grip body 2A when the putter club 1 is thrown into the caddy bag, and
A is prevented from breaking or chipping, and the grip 2 is decorated.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 13 denotes the shaft 3 and the grip 2 so that the face surface 9 of the club head 4 and the grip surface 7 of the grip 2 are at a predetermined angle (right angle) when the grip 2 is connected to the shaft end. This is a grip attachment jig for positioning and fixing the position of the grip. Jig for grip installation 1
Reference numeral 3 denotes a mounting portion 15 on which the club head 4 is mounted on a base 14, and the upper surface of the mounting portion 15 is a mounting surface 16 on which the face surface 9 is mounted. A screw 17 is screwed onto the base 14, and the screw 17 passes through a gripping member 18. One end of the gripping member 18 abuts a standing member 19 erected on the upper surface of the base 14, and the other end of the gripping member 18 clamps and fixes the club head 4 to the mounting surface 16 by tightening the bolt 20 to the screw 17. The base 14 is provided with a grip fixing portion 21 having a concave shape. Grip fixing part 21
Is formed with a contact surface 22 which is perpendicular to the mounting surface 16 and abuts on the grip surface 7. A grip fixing screw 23 is screwed into the grip fixing portion 21, and a tip of the grip fixing screw 23 protrudes from a surface facing the contact surface 22, and the grip fixing screw 23 is tightened to make contact with the tip of the grip fixing screw 23. The grip 2 is clamped and fixed with the surface 22.

Next, attachment of the grip 2 to the shaft 3 will be described. The grip 2 is formed by molding the grip body 2A from an American walnut into a shape according to the user's preference, and engraving a checkering process 10 and a user's favorite pattern and name on the outer peripheral surface. Then, grip body 2A
Immersed in oil (linseed oil)
A to finish oil. Then, the inlay 8 and the impact receiving member 11 are attached to the grip body 2A,
The grip 2 is formed. To attach the grip 2 to the shaft end, first, the mounting surface 16 of the grip attaching jig 13
The face surface 9 of the head 4 fixed to one end of the shaft 3 is placed on the shaft 3, and the club head 4 is clamped and fixed by the placing portion 15 and the gripping member 18. Next, an appropriate amount of the filling adhesive 6 is applied to the end of the shaft, and the grip 2 is loosely fitted thereto. Then, the grip surface 7 is brought into contact with the contact surface 22, and the grip fixing portion 21 is formed.
The grip 2 is gripped and fixed by the grip fixing screw 23 and the contact surface 22. Thereafter, when the filling adhesive 6 is solidified and the grip 2 and the shaft 3 are integrally fixed, the grip 2 is removed from the grip mounting jig 13. Note that the grip 2 may be formed of a highly rigid wood-based material impregnated with a resin material, other than wood, and is not limited to an American walnut. Since it is made of wood or wood-based material, it is easier to process than conventional rubber ones, and after the putter club 1 is completed, the user can fit the grip 2 to himself while checking the gripping feeling of the grip 2. It can be easily shaved and fine-tuned optimally.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the grip is formed of wood or a highly rigid wood-based material, the impact at the time of putting can be directly applied to the hand as compared with rubber or other elastic materials. Sense of pat (direction and sense of distance)
Is easy to imagine, and the direction of the face surface is not easily deviated due to the impact of the ball and the head. In addition, there is no change over time, the feel is good, the rigidity is higher than rubber, so the degree of freedom of design is large, and the specific gravity is lighter than rubber, so the grip can be made thicker and the directionality of the pad Is improved. Withstands rain even with oil finish.

Since the anti-slip surface is engraved on the grip surface, no slip occurs between the hand and the grip even in rainy weather or by sweat. In addition, since the inlay is provided on the grip surface, it is possible to clearly indicate the grip of the grip with respect to the face surface, thereby facilitating use. By providing the shock receiving member at the grip end and attaching the grip and the shaft with the filling adhesive, the strength of the grip is increased, and even if the club is thrown into the caddy bag, the grip does not break. In addition, the material used for the impact receiving member, the inlay fitting and the shape of the anti-slip surface can give the user individuality to the grip and the value of arts and crafts is added, and it becomes full of luxury, Decorating the grip surface with sculpture increases the sense of quality and increases owner satisfaction.

By using a grip mounting jig when connecting the grip and the shaft, the face surface can be mounted with high precision at a predetermined angle with the mark on the grip surface or the inlay or the like provided on the grip without any special technique. be able to.
