Wood Golf Club Head and Method for Manufacturing the Same

Abstract

A wood golf club head includes a club head body having an interior cavity defined by an inner surface thereof, and a reinforcing member including a rib and a pad. The rib includes two opposite sides and two opposite ends. The pad includes a connecting surface and a welding surface opposite to the connecting surface. The reinforcing member is disposed in the interior cavity of the club head body and is connected with the inner surface of the club head body by welding. The two ends of the rib abut with the inner surface of the club head body. The present invention further provides a method for manufacturing such a wood golf club head.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to a wood golf club head and a method for manufacturing the same and, more particularly, to a high structural strength wood golf club head and a method for manufacturing the same.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]FIG. 1 shows a conventional method for manufacturing a wood golf club head, including preparing a club head body 9 having an interior cavity 91 defined by an inner surface 911 thereof, and a rib 92 having two opposite sides; and disposing one of the two sides of the rib 92 in the cavity. The rib 92 prevents deformation of the club head body 9 caused by an external force, such as a striking force acting upon the club head body 9 when hitting a golf ball.[0005]The rib 92 is fixed in the interior cavity 91 by connecting one side 921 of the rib 92 with the inner surface 911 of the club head body 9 using spot welding. However, due to the small contact area of the si...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]It is therefore the objective of this invention to provide a wood golf club head with a reinforcing member disposed in an interior cavity of the wood golf club head. Thus, the impact caused by an external force acting upon the wood golf club head is reduced, and the structural strength of the wood golf club head is enhanced.

[0007]Another object of this invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a wood golf club head that enhances the structural strength of a golf club head body and prevents deformation of the golf club head body caused by welding. Thus, the yield rate of the wood golf club head is maintained.

[0015]The wood golf club head in the present invention includes the reinforcing member engaged with the inner surface of the club head body for reducing the impact of an external force acting upon the wood golf club head, and improving the structural strength of the wood golf club head.

[0016]Furthermore, with accordance to the method for manufacturing a wood golf club head in the present invention, by using of the pad, the heat produced during welding processes may dissipate smoothly through the pad. Thus, the deformation around the welds caused by high temperature is prevented, and the yield rate of the wood golf club head is maintained.

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the small contact area of the side 921 and the inner surface 911, the heat of the welds “W” cannot be dissipated smoothly, thus causing deformation of the club head body 9 and disadvantageously decreasing the yield rate of the wood golf club head.
