Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an improved golf club head. It also concerns the head thus perfected.
- a tool called golf club which is constituted by a handle, commonly called by its English term “shaft” which includes at its lower end a head, while its upper end is equipped with a handle often called by its English term "grip”.
- the player has a number of clubs, all different from each other and which are generally classified into three categories, woods, irons and putters.
- the accuracy of strokes is a function of a number of parameters, including human parameters, but also parameters related to the very construction of the club, including the distribution of its masses and its structure.
- the movement before striking can be more or less precise and the position of the head of the club during the impact can be more or less good compared to the ball.
- golfers are well aware that the slightest imprecision in hitting the ball is fraught with consequences. Indeed, at the time of impact, the point of impact of the ball on the striking face must be perfectly on the right, joining the center of gravity of the ball and the center of gravity of the head of the club. If this condition is not met during the impact, the club head, under the effect of the impact, will pivot and the striking face will open or close and the trajectory of the ball will not be that desired. If the striking face opens strongly, the ball will go to the right and if the striking face closes, the ball will go to the left. Current club heads are very tolerant of this subject and it is necessary to strike the balls with great precision.
- Golf clubs at the start of the hole generally include a metallic head, of thin thickness, hollow and constituted by the assembly of several pieces of metal welded to each other and defining a closed internal cavity.
- a metallic head of thin thickness, hollow and constituted by the assembly of several pieces of metal welded to each other and defining a closed internal cavity.
- Such constructions described in US documents n ° 4,438,931, 5,024,437 or JP 61-33973, make it possible to obtain clubs whose tolerance cannot be improved beyond a certain threshold due to the critical mass of the head and the isotropic nature of the material.
- no addition of the flyweight is generally possible without exceeding the limit mass beyond which the club can no longer be balanced correctly and the distribution of the mass is closely linked to the shape of the head itself.
- Another disadvantage of this type of head concerns the nature of the material of the impact face, which if it allows a direct transmission of information to the player, on the other hand confers unpleasant sensations and sound on impact.
- the present invention seeks to overcome the drawbacks associated with the traditional structure of club heads and proposes a new head design as well as a new method of manufacturing the latter.
- One of the objects of the invention is therefore to propose a manufacturing process making it possible to obtain a new, more efficient head structure, in particular in terms of mass distribution, durability and quality of finish.
- the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for carrying out parts operations in large series in a minimum.
- the method of manufacturing a golf club head comprises a peripheral shell made up of a set of walls; produced by injecting a plastic material, forming an internal cavity containing at least one maintained interior insert, immobilized by partial coating of plastic material of the shell, characterized in that prior to the shell injection step, there are and immobilizing in the mold an assembly comprising a fusible core made of a second material with a melting point lower than the melting point of said plastic material and said insert integral with said fusible core; then, the plastic is injected into the space left free between the walls of the mold and the assembly so as to coat the fusible core and all or part of the free part of said insert; finally, we proceed to the elimination of all or part of the fusible core to allow to release an internal volume to form the internal cavity.
- the free part of said insert comprises a shoulder or a projection making it possible to promote the joining of the insert by the plastic material injected from the shell.
- the insert is a resistance piece comprising a resistance wall secured to the front face of the fusible core before the injection operation so as to mainly reinforce the front wall of the shell, after the injection operation.
- the insert is a counterweight secured to one of the faces of the fusible core before the injection operation, so as to be made integral with one of the walls of the shell after the injection operation.
- the fusible core comprises at least one housing in which said counterweight is retained, said housing having dimensions greater than those of the counterweight at least in places, so that there is a space between said counterweight and the walls of the housing, intended to be filled with the first plastic material during the injection step.
- a low density filling material is poured into the internal cavity left free.
- a resistance part is produced which is placed in the mold before the injection step.
- Said part being metallic or resin filled for example with glass fibers or the like.
- the fusible core is for example made of tin, lead or bismuth alloy
- the shell is made of material which can be used by injection, such as polyamide, polypropylene or 'ABS (Acryloni rilebutadiènestyène) reinforced or not with glass fibers or carbon.
- the invention also relates to a golf club head preferably of the wood type comprising a peripheral shell and a neck extending laterally, characterized in that the shell is formed by a set of walls of injected plastic material of low modulus: a upper wall, a lower wall, a peripheral wall and a front wall forming the striking face of the head, the internal face of said front wall being in abutment on the front face of an internal resistance wall made of high modulus material.
- the resistance wall is a part of a resistance part which is extended laterally by a tubular part forming at least partially the neck of the head.
- the shell is formed by a set of walls: an upper wall, a lower wall, a peripheral wall and a front wall forming the striking face of the head.
- the internal face of said front wall being in abutment on the front face of the internal resistance wall.
- the flywheel of high density material is retained in the internal cavity by one of the walls, and in particular by the peripheral wall which comprises a retaining projection at least partially enveloping said flyweight.

- the body of the head itself is constituted by a shell (3) formed by a set of thin walls between 2 and 5 millimeters: an upper wall (5), a lower wall (6), a peripheral wall (7 ) and a front wall (8) whose front face (80) constitutes the striking face intended to strike the ball during the stroke.
- the shell (3) is made of plastic material, loaded or not, of the injected thermoplastic type, such as polyamide, polypropylene, ABS (Acrylonitrilebutadiènestyrene).
- the shell (3) forming an external peripheral envelope and constituting a closed internal cavity (11) is advantageously filled with a filling material (12) such as a low density foam and for example a polyurethane foam.
- the head comprises a resistance piece (200), for example made of high modulus aluminum, constituted by a resistance wall (9), and by a lateral tubular part (94), preferably made of steel, and attached to the side of the wall (9).
- This tubular part constitutes, at least in part, the rigid structure of the neck (2) on which is intended to fit the handle of the club.
- the resistance wall (9) has the general shape of the striking face and comprises a shoulder or peripheral rim (90).
- the rear part of the actual head comprises a flywheel (10) overmolded in the material (70) constituting the rear peripheral wall (7).
- the counterweight (10) has the general shape of a cylindrical part comprising a groove (24) and is made of a material of high density, such as brass, bronze, steel or others.
- a core (13) (FIGS. 5, 6, 7, 8) is produced with a material (M1) with a low melting point and for example a metallic core such as a tin alloy, lead and bismuth.
- Said core (1) is produced for example by molding and has the general shape of the internal cavity (11). Thus, it comprises a front face (14), an upper face (15), a lower face (16) and a lateral peripheral face (17).
- a rear housing (21) extended by a retaining hole (22) intended to retain a counterweight (10) of general shape, for example cylindrical, made of a high density material such as brass or bronze.
- the housing (21) has dimensions, in particular diametrical dimensions, greater than those of the counterweight (10) so as to create a space (e1) between the walls of said housing and those of the counterweight. This space (e1) is intended to fill with material during the injection of the shell, as we will explain later in the description.
- said counterweight is engaged in the rear housing (21) ( Figure 8) to be retained there in the retaining hole (22) ( Figure 9).
- the counterweight could be in any other place and in particular below, as shown in FIG. 27.

- the shell is injected (3) in a main step
- the injection material (M1) intended to form the shell and to cover the insert (13) and the resistance wall (9) is injected through the injection hole (29).
- (M1) then takes place in the peripheral space (e) left free between the wall of the mold and the elements occupying the interior thereof, that is to say the core (13) and the resistance wall (9).
- first material (M1) takes place in the space (e1) left free between the counterweight (10) and the walls of the housing (21) to take the same place in the groove (24), thus ensuring the retention of said counterweight.
- the latter is retained by the material (M1) of the shell and more particularly by a projection (70) of the peripheral wall (7).
- the injected material (M1) also takes place in the longitudinal recesses (18, 19) of the core, to form with the walls of the shell, reinforcing ribs.
- the fusible core (13) is made of material (M2) whose melting point is lower than the melting point of the material (M1) in which the shell is made.
- it is an alloy based on an alloy of tin, lead and bismuth.
- the melting temperature of this alloy is less than 100 ° C.
- the injection temperature of the material (M1) when it is a charged "Zytel" type polyamide is approximately 280 ° C.
- the front wall (8) of the shell is in contact with the resistance wall (9) and that the peripheral rim (90) provides a good connection between said shell and the resistance piece (200).
- a first additional step the mold is opened ( Figure 15) to remove the head of the club thus formed ( Figure 15), while in a second additional step ( Figures 17, 18), said head is heated to obtain the fusion. of the fuse insert (13), and thus by removing the molten material, create an internal cavity (11).
- a low density material such as polyurethane foam
- M2 low density material
- pouring takes place, for example, through the hole (30) left by the transverse finger (28) in the peripheral wall (7).
- FIG. 21 shows in perspective a first variant according to which the rear face of the resistance wall (9) comprises reinforcing ribs making it possible to reduce the thickness of the wall and to substantially lighten the part. It comprises for example a peripheral rib (91) and two vertical ribs (92a, 92b).
- Figures 22 and 23 show a second variant according to which the rear lower part of the resistance wall (9) comprises two protrusions extending parallel backwards to project at least partly out of the lower wall (6) of the shell (3).
- FIG. 24 is a view similar to FIG. 10, illustrating a variant according to which the counterweight (10) is made integral with the core (13) by means of a fixing pin (130).
- the core (13) with the counterweight (10) is integral with the resistance wall (9) to form a solid sub-assembly, as is shown in Figure 25.
- the attachment of the insert (13) with the resistance piece can be achieved by any suitable means and in particular by fitting, gluing, welding or screwing.
- the counterweight (10) can take any appropriate shape and any position, without going beyond the ambit of the invention.
- Figure 26 shows a variant in a top view illustration with partial section.
- the counterweight (10) is constituted by a peripheral metal wall (100) comprising a succession of holes (240) allowing the injection material of the envelope, to penetrate there and to ensure the retention of said flyweight.
- the invention is, of course, not limited to a golf club head of the "wood” type, but could very well be of any other type, and in particular a head of the "iron” type, as illustrated in Figure 27.
- elements similar to the previous embodiment have the same references and we would like to refer to the corresponding description.
- the thickness "e2" of the front wall (8) can vary and in particular decrease from the bottom (BA) to the top (HA) so that the striking face (80) has the general inclination "A" desired.
- the thickness "e2" can vary horizontally ( Figure 2).
- the counterweight (s) could also be made for the counterweight (s) to be retained in one or more housings produced in the resistance wall.
- the weight or weights can even be fixed to the wall by other means, such as by screwing or gluing.
- FIG. 28 illustrates a variant in which the starting fusible core consists of several separate pieces (130, 131, 132).
- FIG. 29 shows, for example, a head according to the invention from which only the central piece has been removed.
- the two lateral pieces (130, 132) serve as weights as part of a lateral distribution of the masses of the head known per se.
