Embodiment Construction

[0025] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus 10 for measuring golf club swing speed (hereinafter, referred to as “swing speed measuring apparatus”) comprises a transmitting device 21 and a receiving device 22. The transmitting and receiving devices 21 and 22 are separately installed in the swing speed measuring apparatus 10. The transmitting device 21 sends a plurality of optical signals 4 and 5, and the receiving device 22 receives the optical signals 4 and 5.

[0027] A user 1 can install the swing speed measuring apparatus 10 and measure the If club swing speed at any time and place. That is, if the user swings a golf club 2, the head of the golf club passes between the transmitting and receiving devices 21 and 22. Then, the receiving device 22 senses a state where the optical signals 4 and 5 are blocked by the club head, and the swing speed is aut...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring golf club swing speed. The swing speed measuring apparatus automatically indicates golf club swing speed by detecting a state where optical signals, such as infrared rays, output from a transmitting device thereof are blocked by a golf club. To this end, a receiving device of the swing speed measuring apparatus calculates the golf club swing speed by dividing a distance between the optical signals by a time interval taken between when the optical signals are blocked, and outputs the calculated swing speed. In particular, the transmitting and receiving devices are manufactured as separate devices. The present invention is configured such that a meaningless swing motion such as a case where a user slowly swings the golf club around the ball to take a proper stance or posture can be excluded and an actual swing motion can be distinguished accordingly.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) [0001] The present application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 2004-55680 filed on Jul. 16, 2004. [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring golf club swing speed, and more particularly, to an apparatus for measuring golf club swing speed wherein a transmitting device for transmitting an optical signal and a receiving device for receiving the optical signal are separately installed and golf club swing speed can be automatically displayed by detecting a state where the optical signal such as an infrared ray signal is blocked by a golf club. [0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0005] As golf has become popular, a number of apparatuses capable of allowing a golfer to simply practice playing golf have been developed. Among these apparatuses, there is an apparatus for correcting golfer's swing posture or an apparatus for measuring swing speed and then notifying the spe...
