[0012] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the attached drawings, but the embodiments are for a clear understanding of the invention and the invention is not limited thereto. In the description below, components having the same reference numeral in different drawings have similar functions and are not described repeatedly unless necessary for understanding the invention, and known components are described briefly or omitted, but should not be understood as being excluded from the embodiments of the present invention.

[0013] FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a golf club grip having a linear array protrusion structure according to the present invention.

[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, a golf club grip of a linear array protrusion structure comprises a grip body (11) extending in a hollow cylindrical shape; and at least one linear protrusion array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M) arranged linearly along the extension direction of the grip body (11).

[0015] The grip body (11) may have various shapes depending on the type of club, and may have a shape suitable for, for example, a putting club, driver club, wood club, iron club, or utility club. The grip body (11) may have a hollow cylinder shape overall and includes a closed end (111) and an open opening (112). The grip body (11) may have a shape in which the diameter gradually decreases from the closed end (111) to the open opening (112). At least one linear projection array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M) may be formed on the grip body (11), and each linear projection array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M) includes a plurality of linearly arranged projections (13_1 to 14_M). The grip body (11) may include an upper surface, a lower surface, and both sides, having a linearly extending hollow cylinder shape or a similar shape. Specifically, in the case of a putter club, the cross-section of the grip body (11) may be a trapezoidal shape or an inverted trapezoidal shape, with each side having a curved shape and the upper side having a longer length than the lower side. A linear projection array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M) may be formed from a closed end (111) on the upper surface toward an open entrance (112). Alternatively, the linear projection array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M) may be formed on the upper surface and the lower surface. Alternatively, the linear projection array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M) may be formed on the upper surface, the lower surface, and both sides. Each linear projection array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_N) may include a plurality of projections (13_1 to 14_M) separated from each other. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the club grip may be a putter grip, and the linear projection array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M) may be formed on an upper surface and a lower surface.The first linear protrusion array (13_1 to 13_N) formed on the upper surface and the second linear protrusion array (14_1 to 14_M) formed on the lower surface (L) may include the same or different number of protrusions (13_1 to 14_M), and each protrusion (13_1 to 14_M) may be formed at the same position vertically on the upper surface and the lower surface (L). In one linear protrusion array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M), multiple protrusions (13_1 to 14_M) may be separated from each other at uniform intervals and arranged linearly. The protrusions (13_1 to 13_N) included in the first linear protrusion array (13_1 to 13_N) may have the same or similar shape as the protrusions included in the second linear protrusions (14_1 to 14_M) and may have the same or different sizes. Additionally, the separation interval between the first linear protrusions (13_1 to 13_N) may be the same as or different from the separation interval between the second linear protrusions (14_1 to 14_M). For example, the first linear protrusions (13_1 to 13_N) formed on the upper surface of the grip body (11) may have a larger volume and a smaller total number compared to the second linear protrusions (14_1 to 14_M) formed on the lower surface of the grip body (11). Also, the separation interval between different first linear protrusions (13_1 to 13_N) may be the same as the separation interval between different second linear protrusions (14_1 to 14_M), and multiple first linear protrusions (13_1 to 13_N) and second linear protrusions (14_1 to 14_M) may be arranged in the same position vertically on the upper surface and the lower surface. With such an arrangement structure, a sense of stability is created while holding a club or putter, and slipping can be effectively prevented. The linear projection array (13_1 to 13_N; 14_1 to 14_M) can be formed in various structures and is not limited to the presented embodiments.

[0016] FIG. 2 illustrates an example of the geometric structure of a golf club grip according to the present invention.

[0017] Referring to FIG. 2, a golf grip or putter golf grip may be composed of an upper surface (113) having a relatively large width; a lower surface (114) having a relatively small width; and two sides (115, 116), and a linear projection array including linear projections (13_1, 13_2, 14_1, 14_2) may be formed on the upper surface and the lower surface, respectively. The linear projections (13_1 to 14_2) may be hemispherical, convex lens-shaped, dome-shaped, or similar in shape overall, and the first linear projections (13_1 to 13_2) and the second linear projections (14_1, 14_2) may have the same or similar volume, or different volumes. Also, the separation gap between the first linear projections (13_1, 13_2) may be the same or similar as the separation gap between the second linear projections (14_1, 14_2).

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the separation gap (L) between the first linear protrusions (13_1, 13_2) or the second linear protrusions (14_1, 14_2) may be 1 / 15 to 1 / 40 of the total length of the grip. Additionally, the protrusion height (H) of the first linear protrusions (13_1, 13_2) may be 1 / 20 to 1 / 5 of the separation gap (L) between the first linear protrusions (13_1 to 13_2) or the second linear protrusions (14_1, 14_2). With such a separation gap (L) or protrusion height (H), the grip feel can be stabilized while slipping can be effectively prevented. The linear protrusions (13_1 to 14_2) can be applied to grips for various types of clubs, including grips for putter clubs.

[0019] FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate embodiments in which a golf clip grip according to the present invention is applied to various types of golf clubs.

[0020] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, for a general club rather than a putter club, the grip body (31, 41) may have a shape that is hollow and hollow overall, with the cross-sectional area gradually decreasing from the closed end (311, 411) to the open entrance (312, 412). Additionally, the closed end (311, 411) and the open entrance (312, 412) may be circular overall. Optionally, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 3, the outer surface of the grip body (31) may include at least one planar shape, but even in such a case, the inner cross-section may be circular. Regardless of the shape of the outer surface, an array of three or four linear protrusions (33_1 to 33_N; 34_1 to 34_M; 35_1 to 35_P) may be formed. As illustrated in FIG. 3, when four linear protrusion arrays (33_1 to 33_N; 34_1 to 34_M; 35_1 to 35_P) are formed, they may be formed on the upper surface, the lower surface, and both sides, respectively. Additionally, the linear protrusions (33_1 to 35_P) may be arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction and the circumferential surface of the grip body (31). Specifically, when three linear protrusion arrays (33_1 to 33_N; 34_1 to 34_M; 35_1 to 35_P) are arranged, a first linear protrusion array (33_1 to 33_N) may be formed on the upper surface, and second and third linear protrusion arrays may be formed from the closed end (311) toward the open end (312) at positions moved 120 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise along the circumferential surface of the grip body (31). If When four linear protrusion arrays (33_1 to 33_N; 34_1 to 34_M; 35_1 to 35_P) are formed, as shown in FIG. 3, they can be arranged on the upper surface, the lower surface, and both sides, and linear protrusions (33_1 to 35_P) can be arranged linearly at positions shifted by 90 degrees along the circumferential surface of the grip body (31).For example, 5 to 8 linear projection arrays may be arranged along the circumferential surface of the grip body (31, 41), but if the linear projection array exceeds 5, the grip stability may be reduced and the slipping effect may be substantially reduced, so the number of linear projection arrays may be 2 to 4.

[0021] As illustrated in FIG. 4, two linear projection arrays (43_1 to 43_N; 45_M) may be arranged to face each other on the upper and lower surfaces of the grip body (41). A club-grabbing position marker (414, 415) may be formed on the upper surface of the grip body (41), and the first linear projection array (43_1 to 43_N) may be arranged based on a pair of position markers (414, 415) arranged to face each other in the longitudinal direction on the grip body (41), corresponding to the upper surface of the grip body (41) as described above. The second linear projection array (45_M) may be formed at a position facing each other with the first linear projection array (43_1 to 43_N) or at a position 180 degrees along the circumferential surface of the grip body (41). As described above, each linear projection included in the first and second linear projection arrays (43_1 to 43_N; 45_M) may have the same or similar structure.

[0022] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a protrusion structure of a golf club grip according to the present invention.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 5, the linear projection (13, 13a) may be hemispherical, hemispherical-like, convex lens-like, dome-like, polyhedral pyramidal, polyhedral frustum-like, or similar shapes, but is not limited thereto. When the linear projection (13) is hemispherical, the height (H1) may be half the diameter (D1). In contrast, when it is hemispherical-like, the height (H1) may be greater than (1 / 2) * diameter (D1), thereby improving grip stability and anti-slip effects. When the linear projection (13a) takes the shape of a polyhedral frustum, it may take the shape of a tetrahedral frustum, a pentahedral frustum, or a similar polyhedral frustum, for example, the length of one side (D3) of the bottom face may be larger than the height (H2) of the frustum, and the length of one side (D2) of the top face may be smaller than the height (H2) of the frustum. When the linear projection (13, 13a) takes the shape of a polyhedral pyramid, it may have the same or similar geometric structure as described above, and the present invention is not limited by such a shape of the linear projection (13, 13a).

[0024] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the presented embodiments, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the technical spirit of the invention by referring to the presented embodiments. The present invention is not limited by such modifications and variations, but is limited only by the claims appended below. Explanation of the symbols
