Abstract
This invention relates to a golf club head with an adjustable tilt mechanism which is designed to be mounted between a shaft and a head. Simply speaking, the neck of the head forms a long adjusting cavity and the shaft is held in the long adjusting cavity of the head by the pivot but pin permitting left or right swing. The shaft is further locked in the lock ring and clamped in place by the tie land and tie slot carved on the head to retain the shaft fast within the long adjusting hole of the head. This mechanism permits an adequate adjustment of tilt angle (an angle of elevation) of the face. At the case of a long flight of ball striking, the face at a desirable tilt angle will render the ball a low or high parabola along the flight course to fly over the obstacle.
Description
- This invention concerns the adjustable tilt mechanism for the golf club in which the adjustable tilt mechanism is designed to mount between a shaft and a head, capable of changing the tilt angle of the face, easy for the golf player to strike the club and render the ball a flight a low or a high parabola to shun away the obstacle.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show the schematic diagrams of the prior art of a golf club that is very popular in use containing ahead 10 and a vertically formedneck 11. The head has a variety of sizes and theface 12 and theneck 11 are linked in different angle. Theneck 11 has acavity 13 to receive ahosel 15 and ashaft 14 which is glued fast in thecavity 13. Besides the difference in sizes, the shaft length and gravity, the angle formed between theface 12, and theshaft 14 varies greatly too. Simply speaking, when the angle formed between theface 12 and theshaft 14 is wide obtuse, the ball will fly low parabola course. Each golf bag will at least contains the iron clubs No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, P and 9, total nine clubs and the wood clubs No. 1, 3 and 5, three wood clubs in order to strike the ball to the green with least number of strokes. In reality, in most case in 18 holes play, because of poor control over the ball flight, the ball occasionally falls behind the obstacle (big tree) which stands between the ball and the green. Under this circumstance, the seasoned player would change his stance and the iron club with a acute angle face, so the ball being struck would fly a high parabola flight over the obstacle, or he would change his stance and uses the large-number iron club with small angle to strike the ball flying a low parabola to penetrate through the obstacle. From the above statement, it is learned that the angle form between theface 12 of thehead 10 and theshaft 14 is a critical factor to make a ball a low parabola or high parabola flight. The adjustable tilt mechanism is provided between the head and the shaft, for the unskillful player, it is easy way to promote his golf playing interest. This serves the purpose the inventor wants to design this adjustable tilt mechanism. - Because all golf clubs are formed at a fixed angle between the head and the shaft, it is extremely hard for the unskillful golf player to pick the right club to hit the right parabola for the ball. For this reason, the inventor, for long experience in manufacturing golf club and wide observation, has begun to come up this invention with many trials and errors. This invention designs an inverted conical long hole in the neck; the lower end of the shaft passes the retaining ring and the hosel and enters into the long adjustable hole in the neck to be locked by the lock pin with the neck. However the shaft is so permitted to swing to left or to right as to change the angle (elevation angle) between the face and the shaft but still held firmly by the retaining ring and adjustable hole in the neck.

-
FIG. 3 shows a disassembly view of an adjustable tilt mechanism of this invention wherein the adjustable tilt mechanism comprises ahead 20, ahosel 30, aretaining ring 40, and ashaft 50. - As shown in the prior art of golf club, the
head 20 is vertically formed with theneck 21. Thehead 20 is numbered in size and each size has a specified tilt formed between theface 22 and theneck 21. But in this invention, theneck 21 of thehead 20 provides a longadjustable hole 23 which has a wide opening and narrow bottom. The opening rim has a plurality oftie slots 24 distributed at a specific angle. A through lock hole 35 is drilled at the lower part of theneck 21 to receive thelock pin 26 so as to lock theshaft 50 in the longadjustable hole 23. - The
hosel 30 has alongitudinal hollow 31 in which inner diameter equals to the outer diameter of theshaft 50. The bottom face of thehosel 30 is in the similar shape of theneck top 21 of thehead 20. Along the inner rim of thehosel 30, there are threetie lands 32. - The
retaining ring 40 has an inner thread 41. - The
shaft 50, as similar to that in the prior art of golf club, has ahandle 51 and alock hole 52 at the lower end and athread section 52 in the middle section of theshaft 50. - Please refer to
FIGS. 4 and 6 which show the adjustable tilt mechanism. First, the inner thread 41 of theretaining ring 40 is fitted in thethread section 53 of theshaft 50. The opening 31 of thehosel 30 will receive theshaft 50 section exposed under theretaining ring 40. When the lower end of theshaft 50 enters into the longadjustable hole 23 of theneck 21 of thehead 20, thelock pin 26 will pass thelock hole 23 on theneck 21 and thelock hole 52 of theshaft 50. At this moment, theshaft 50 is permitted to swing to left or to right pivoted on thelock pin 26 within theadjustable hole 23 of theneck 21 to change the tilt (elevation angle) formed between theface 22 of thehead 20 and theshaft 50. - Please refer to
FIGS. 4 and 5 ; when theshaft 50 is swung to left in theadjustable hole 23 of theneck 21, the elevation angle formed between theface 22 of thehead 20, and the shaft 60 decreases. When thehosel 30 is pressed downward to theneck 21 of thehead 20, thetie land 32 on the hosel opening 31 will be inserted into thetie slot 24 of the adjustable hole 23 (as shown in a closed position ofFIG. 5 ), theshaft 50 along theretaining ring 40 andthread section 52 will move downward to hold theshaft 50 constantly fixed at the left position in theadjustable hole 23. - As shown in
FIGS. 6 and 7 , if it is intended to increase the elevation angle between theface 22 of thehead 20 and theshaft 50, the threadedsection 53 and theretaining ring 40 are moved backward, so thehosel 30 will slide upward, and thetie land 32 of thehesel 30 will leave thetie slot 24 in theadjustable hole 23, so thelock pin 26 and theshaft 50 are free to swing to the right side. When thehosel 30 is pressed downward to theneck top 21 of thehead 20, thetie land 32 of the hosel opening 31 enters into thetie slot 24 in the adjustable hole 23 (as shown in the closed position ofFIG. 7 ), the retaining 40 and the threadedsection 53 of theshaft 50 press on theadjustable hole 23 to hold theshaft 50 constantly fixed at the right position. - The above statement indicates that the adjustable tilt mechanism of the golf club is easy to adjust the elevation angle formed between the face of the head and the shaft which will render the ball a low or high parabola flight as the player desires to shun away the obstacle.
- Many changes and modifications in the above disclosed embodiment of the invention can, of course, be carried out without departing from the scope thereof, such the shape of the long adjustable hole the number of the tie land and tie slot as desirable. Accordingly, to promote the progress in science and the useful arts, the invention is disclosed and is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
