Abstract
A two-piece type gold club head includes a body member including a top wall, a neck located at one end of the top wall, a peripheral wall extended from the ring-shaped border area of the top wall toward one lateral side and defining a planar ball-hitting surface, a bottom wall extended from the bottom side of the planar ball-hitting surface and terminating in a bottom flange and a top flange extended from the peripheral wall and integrally connected with the bottom flange to form an annular flange, and a bottom member mounted at the bottom side of the peripheral wall of the body member and having a mounting flange lap-connected with the top flange of the body member.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to golf club technology, and more particularly, to a two-piece type golf club head.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In order to stabilize the manipulation of a golf club, the center of gravity of the club head is preferably designed as low as possible. For lowering the center of gravity of the club head, a heavy weight material, such as stainless steel, may be used during fabrication. However, a heavy weight material has the physical properties of high hardness and low flexibility. In order to enhance the flexibility of a club head, a material having better flexibility, such as titanium, shall be used. However, a material having better flexibility normally has less weight. Thus, we are facing a dilemma when selecting materials for making golf club heads.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a golf club head, which is a two-piece design.
- To achieve this and other objects of the present invention, a two-piece type golf club head of the present invention comprises a body member and a bottom member. The body member comprises a top wall, a peripheral wall extending around the top wall and defining a ball-hitting surface, an opening surrounded by the peripheral wall and a neck located at one end of the top wall, and a bottom member mounted in the opening and connected to the peripheral wall of the body member.
- Other advantages and features of the present invention will be fully understood by reference to the following specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference signs denote like components of structure.
-
FIG. 1 is an oblique top elevational view of a two-piece type golf club head in accordance with the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the two-piece type golf club head in accordance with the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the two-piece type golf club head in accordance with the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 1-3 , a two-piece type golf club head in accordance with the present invention is shown. The two-piece type golf club head comprises abody member 10 and abottom member 20. - The
body member 10 comprises atop wall 11, aperipheral wall 12 extended from a ring-shaped border area of thetop wall 11 toward one lateral side and defining a planar ball-hittingsurface 13, abottom wall 14 extended from a bottom side of the planar ball-hittingsurface 13 and terminating in abottom flange 15, aneck 16 located at one end of thetop wall 11 and adapted for fastening to a golf club shaft (not shown), and atop flange 17 extended from theperipheral wall 12 and integrally connected with thebottom flange 15 to form an annular flange. - The
bottom member 20 comprises amounting groove 21 extending around a part of the border edge thereof and amounting flange 22 extending around the other part of the border edge, i.e., themounting groove 21 and themounting flange 22 extend around the whole border edge of thebottom member 20 with the two distal ends of themounting groove 21 respectively connected to the two distal ends of themounting flange 22. Thebottom member 20 is mounted at the bottom side of theperipheral wall 12 of thebody member 10 to force themounting groove 21 into engagement with thebottom flange 15 of thebottom wall 14 and to abut themounting flange 22 against an outer side of thetop flange 17, enabling themounting flange 22 and thetop flange 17 to be lap-connected together. - Further, the
bottom member 20 and thebody member 10 can be fixedly fastened together by welding or explosion welding. Because thebottom member 20 and thebody member 10 are two separated components, they can be Made of different materials in different structural designs. Further,bottom members 20 with different specific gravities or made of different materials can be selectively used with thebody member 20 to form a golf club head having a different gravity or physical properties. - Further, because the planar ball-hitting
surface 13 is an integral part of thebody member 10, the top wall 1 and thebottom wail 14 give optimal support to the planar ball-hittingsurface 13, i.e., the planar ball-hittingsurface 13 can have better flexibility when hitting the ball. Thus, the two-piece type golf club head structure of the present invention effectively improves the drawbacks of the conventional products and solves the manufacturing problems of the prior art designs. - Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
