[0010] [Figure 1] 1 shows the configuration of a golf club provided with a grip according to the present embodiment. [Figure 2] 1 shows the configuration of a grip according to this embodiment. [Figure 3] The structure of the silver particle structure is shown. [Figure 4] Shows the structure of the area. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] [Golf Club T Configuration] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a golf club T provided with a grip 3 according to this embodiment.

[0012] The golf club T is, for example, a wood, but the type of golf club T is arbitrary. The golf club T may also be a utility club, iron, wedge, or putter. The golf club T has a golf club head 1, a shaft 2, and a grip 3. The golf club head 1 is provided at the lower end of the golf club T and is the part of the golf club T that hits the ball. The shaft 2 is a rod-shaped part connected to the golf club head 1. The grip 3 is provided at the upper end of the golf club T and is the part that the user holds.

[0013] [Grip 3 Configuration] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the grip 3 according to this embodiment. The grip 3 extends in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 2. The outer diameter of the grip 3 gradually decreases from the top to the bottom of the golf club T. The structure of the grip 3 will be described in detail later. The grip 3 is made of a material that is a mixture of a silver particle structure 4 and an elastomer. The elastomer is a polymeric material that has elasticity.

[0014] 3 is a diagram showing the structure of silver particle structure 4. Silver particle structure 4 has silver particles 41 and structures 42 that house silver particles 41 in an exposed state. Grip 3 is formed from an elastomer mixed with a plurality of structures 42 that house a plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state.

[0015] The silver particles 41 have an antibacterial effect. The silver particles 41 contain, for example, silver ions. The silver ions are taken up into bacterial cells and inhibit the activity of enzymes within the cells, thereby suppressing bacterial growth, and therefore have a particularly strong antibacterial effect.

[0016] The structure 42 is zeolite. Zeolite is a porous crystalline aluminosilicate. Zeolite has a three-dimensional structure in which silicon and aluminum are bonded via oxygen. Zeolite has a plurality of pores. The zeolite accommodates a plurality of silver particles 41 in a state in which the particles are exposed to the pores. Zeolite that accommodates a plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state is, for example, Zeomic (registered trademark) sold by Sinanen Zeomic Co., Ltd. The silver particle structure 4 is, for example, in a powder form and has heat resistance.

[0017] The grip 3 is formed from an elastomer mixed with a plurality of structures 42 that house the plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state. Therefore, in the grip 3, the structures 42 make it easier to stably hold the silver particles 41 in a position close to the surface of the grip 3. As a result, the grip 3 of the golf club T is more likely to exhibit antibacterial properties.

[0018] [Detailed structure of Grip 3] The grip 3 has a plurality of uneven regions 31 and holes (not shown). The uneven regions 31 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the grip 3 and are regions extending in the longitudinal direction of the grip 3. Details of the uneven regions 31 will be described later. The holes are formed on the surface of the grip 3 on the lower side of the golf club T in the longitudinal direction. The holes are holes into which at least a portion of the shaft 2 is inserted. The holes are circular and are formed in the center of the circular surface on the lower side of the golf club T in the longitudinal direction of the grip 3.

[0019] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the structure of the area 311. The uneven region 31 has a plurality of regions 311. The plurality of regions 311 are arranged side by side on the outer peripheral surface of the grip 3 in the longitudinal direction of the grip 3. Fifteen regions 311 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the grip 3. The number of the plurality of regions 311 is arbitrary.

[0020] The region 311 has a recess 312 and a plurality of protrusions 313. The recess 312 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the grip 3. The recess 312 is recessed toward the inside in the radial direction of the grip 3.

[0021] A plurality of protrusions 313 are provided on the bottom surface of the recessed portion 312. The protrusions 313 protrude outward in the radial direction of the grip 3. The length of the protrusions 313 in the radial direction of the grip 3 is greater than the length of the recessed portions 312 in the radial direction of the grip 3. The tips of the protrusions 313 are located radially outward of the outer peripheral surface of the grip 3 on which the recessed portions 312 are provided.

[0022] Twelve protrusions 313, consisting of four rows in the longitudinal direction of the grip 3 and three rows in the circumferential direction of the grip 3, are provided on the bottom surface of the recess 312 provided at the end of the grip 3 on the upper side of the golf club T in the longitudinal direction of the grip 3. Furthermore, nine protrusions 313, consisting of three rows in the longitudinal direction of the grip 3 and three rows in the circumferential direction of the grip 3, are provided on the bottom surface of the recess 312 provided in the grip 3 other than the recess 312 provided at the end of the grip 3 on the upper side of the golf club T in the longitudinal direction of the grip 3. The arrangement and number of the multiple protrusions 313 provided on the bottom surface of the recess 312 are arbitrary.

[0023] In the grip 3, by providing a plurality of regions 311 on the outer circumferential surface of the grip 3, the grip 3 can easily deform to fit the shape of the user's hand when the user grips the grip 3. As a result, when the user grips the grip 3, the grip 3 can easily be made to fit tightly between the user's hand and the grip 3, making the grip 3 less likely to slip.

[0024] The multiple uneven regions 31 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the grip 3 at 90-degree intervals in the circumferential direction of the grip 3. By providing the multiple uneven regions 31 on the outer peripheral surface of the grip 3 in this manner, it is possible to provide an area serving as a back line on each of the four sides of the outer peripheral surface of the grip 3, which are separated by 90 degrees. Therefore, by using the multiple uneven regions 31 as back lines, the user can easily adjust the orientation of the grip 3 when holding the grip 3. As a result, the user can easily adjust the orientation of the face of the golf club head 1 when hitting a ball with the golf club T.

[0025] [Grip 3 manufacturing method] In manufacturing the grip 3, first, a plurality of structures 42 each containing a plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state and an elastomer are prepared. Next, the plurality of structures 42 each containing a plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state are mixed with the elastomer.

[0026] Next, the grip 3 is molded from an elastomer mixed with a plurality of structures 42 each containing a plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state. Specifically, for example, a mandrel is prepared with an outer diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the shaft 2 of the golf club T. A mold corresponding to the shape of the grip 3 is then placed so as to cover at least a portion of the mandrel. The elastomer mixed with a plurality of structures 42 each containing a plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state is then injected between the mandrel and the mold, thereby molding the grip 3 while supported by the mandrel. After the injected elastomer mixed with a plurality of structures 42 each containing a plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state has hardened, the mold is removed. In this manner, the grip 3 can be molded.

[0027] In the method for manufacturing the grip 3 of the golf club T, by manufacturing the grip 3 in this manner, it is possible to manufacture a grip 3 that is likely to exhibit antibacterial activity.

[0028] [Effects of the Grip 3 of the Golf Club T According to the Present Embodiment] The grip 3 of the golf club T in this embodiment is the grip 3 of the golf club T, and the grip 3 is formed from an elastomer mixed with a plurality of structures 42 that house a plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state.

[0029] The grip 3 is formed from an elastomer mixed with a plurality of structures 42 that house the plurality of silver particles 41 in an exposed state. Therefore, in the grip 3, the structures 42 make it easier to stably hold the silver particles 41 in a position close to the surface of the grip 3. As a result, the grip 3 of the golf club T is more likely to exhibit antibacterial properties.
