Benefits of technology

[0010] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a golf club head having a high-degree elastically deformable structure, wherein an elastically deformable thin layer is provided on a golf club head body for enhancing elastic deformability while striking a golf ball. Accordingly, the elastically deformable thin layer can increase a striking resilience of the golf club head.
[0011] The secondary objective of this invention is to provide the golf club-head having the high-degree elastically deformable structure, wherein the elastically deformable thin layer of the golf club head body has a thickness relatively thinner than that of other portions. Accordingly, the elastically deformable thin layer can decrease a total weight of the golf club head body which is helpful in expanding a volume of the golf club head.
[0013] In a separate aspect of the present invention, the elastically deformable thin layer is extended on an inner surface or an outer surface of the crown portion of the golf club head body for providing a perfect striking resilience.
[0014] In a further separate aspect of the present invention, the elastically deformable thin layer is continuously extended on an inner surface or an outer surface from the toe-side wall portion through the crown portion to the heel-side wall portion of the golf club head body for providing a perfect striking resilience.
[0015] In a yet further separate aspect of the present invention, the elastically deformable thin layer is continuously extended on an inner surface or an outer surface along the toe-side wall portion, the crown portion, the heel-side wall portion and the sole portion of the golf club head body for providing a perfect striking resilience.

Problems solved by technology

This results in an imperfect elastic deformability of the cover plate.
When this occurs, there is a design limitation existing for elastic deformability of this type of the golf club head.
Consequently, this design limitation may cause a low-grade striking resilience of the golf club head.
However, a one-piece design concept of the golf club head is currently reconsidered and redesigned.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] In the following embodiments, a golf club head of the present invention can be selected from a group consisting of a wood-type club head, an iron-type club head, a utility-type club head and a putter-type club head. The golf club head having a high-degree elastically deformable structure in accordance with the present invention shall be only applied to the wood-type club head. It will be understood that the high-degree elastically deformable structure applied to the iron-type, utility-type or putter-type club head in accordance with the present invention is omitted.

[0028] Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, the golf club head having the high-degree elastically deformable structure in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention includes a golf club head body designated numeral 1, an elastically deformable thin layer designated numeral 2, a striking plate designated numeral 3 and a club weight portion designated numeral 4. Typically, the elastically deformable thin...

Abstract

A golf club head includes a golf club head body, an elastically deformable thin layer, a striking plate and a club weight portion. The golf club head body includes a crown portion, a toe-side wall portion, a sole portion and a heel-side wall portion. The elastically deformable thin layer is provided on the golf club head body and arranged between the toe-side wall portion and the heel-side wall portion. The elastically deformable thin layer has a thickness thinner than that of other portions of the golf club head body. Mounted on a front portion of the striking plate is the striking plate along which the elastically deformable thin layer has a direction of extension so as to absorb a striking stress transmitted from the striking plate. The club weight portion is arranged on the golf club head body to adjust the center of gravity and the moment of inertia.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a golf club head having a high-degree elastically deformable structure. Particularly, the present invention relates to the golf club head having an elastically deformable thin layer formed on a golf club head body for providing a high-degree elastically deformable characteristic. More particularly, the present invention relates to the elastically deformable thin layer continuously extended on the golf club head body. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A conventional golf club head, as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2001 / 0049310 entitled “Golf Club Head and a Method for Manufacturing the Same” and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004 / 0034986 entitled “Golf Club Head and a Method for Manufacturing the Same” typically includes a golf club head body and a cover plate. Integrally formed on a front side of the golf club head body is a striking pla...
