Application filed May 4, 1927s ScrialNo. 188,681.
The present invention relates to golf club attachments andis designed to provide a simpleand efficie'nt-means for indicating the precise path of the club head during thatportion Y of the swing at which the An object of the invention isto an attachment; which can be readily. ap-
pliedito" the head of. the golf club with out appreciably'increasing the weight or altering the balance or feel of the club, and which. will hold a marker projecting 5 below the sole of the club head so as to make V manner r guided on the blade of the club.
amark upon a flat surface such as a piece of cardboard over wh1chthe club is swung.
Other objects of the invention areto pro-V an iron club; Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the attachment before being applledto the club, and Fig. 4 is adetail cross sectional view illustrating particularly the in which the marker holder Lis As illustrated in'the drawings, the marker consists of a soft crayon 1 and the holder for the marker consists of a coil 2 formed in one end of a piece of spring wire. 4 This 4o spring wire constitutes a" frame which is suitably shaped to support the marker on the club head in the proper position and allow it to yield as. it comes in contact with a playing surface. As illustrated, the wire extends upwardly ,from the holder portion 2 and is then bent downwardly and then upwardly to form a guide adapted to embrace the upper edge of the club head as best shown in Fig. 4:- From the bent j guiding portion the wire extends substan tially atright angles to the marker and'at the end remote'from the marker is bent to a position so that it will be substantially parallel to the shaft of the club. when the attachment is in position on the club. As
a convenient means for securing the wire frame to the club, a spring clip 3 is pro vided, one end of which is rolled .over to form a socket into which the end of the wire frame fits snugly. The clip 3, when the attachment is inposition on" the club; snugly clasps the neck or shaft of the club just above the head and holds the frame in position while permitting its ready removal.
' I The manner in which the attachment is used will be obvious. As the club passes over the playing surfaceat the lowest por tion of the swing, the marker which projects below the sole of the club head between the heel and toe, as illustratedin Fig. 4, will come in contact with the playing surface and be held yieldingly in engagement with said surface for a sufficient length of time to indicate by a mark upon the playing surface the direction of travel of theclub head. The spring characterof the wire frame will permit the marker to yield so that it will not be injured, and-the engagement of the guided portion of the frame with the club head will prevent the frame from being displaced with relation to the club head.
Freedom from injury to the attachment 1s also nsured by the fact that the marker is located atithe rear of the back face of the club head. Also no portion of 1 the attachmentextendsacross the'sole of the club head, which is unobstructedf and can be brought forcibly against the playing'surface without crushing or bending the attachment. As the crayon wears away, it can be adjusted downwardly by turning it in the holder portion 201? the frame, the spiral turns of the WlIQ'ZtCtlIlg to feed the crayon downwardly as it is rotated. A
The invention having been thus described, what is claimed is: r
'71. An attachment for a golf club consisting of a marker holder, and means for yieldingly supporting the markerholder on the club with the marker projecting below the sole of the club head between the heel and toe'ends while leaving the sole of the club headlunobstructed.
