Golf Club Tool with Variable Detachment Force Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf club designs face challenges in the ease of attachment and detachment of components, particularly the shaft and weight bodies, which affects handling and adjustability, leading to decreased workability and potential for components to become loose during use.
Innovation Solution
A golf club design incorporating a first member detachably attached with a higher detachment force (F1) and a second member detachably attached with a lower detachment force (F2), utilizing a tool with a holding mechanism for the first member and an avoiding part for the second member, ensuring secure attachment and easy detachment without the need for excessive force or manual manipulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple members are detachably attached to the golf club, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to decreased workability of attachment and detachment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the detachable members into two categories with different detachment force characteristics: the first member (weight body) requires higher detachment force to prevent accidental loss, while the second member (screw) requires lower detachment force for easy operation. This segmentation allows each member type to have optimized handling properties suitable for its specific function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by giving different detachment force characteristics to different members attached to the same tool. The first member is designed with higher detachment force (F1) while the second member has lower detachment force (F2), allowing each member to have localized properties optimized for its specific operational requirements.
2Reliability
If the first member is securely attached to the tool, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation worsens due to higher detachment force required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the detachment force requirement into two levels: high detachment force (F1) for the first member to ensure reliability and prevent accidental loss, and low detachment force (F2) for the second member to maintain ease of operation. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by applying different force levels to different members based on their specific operational needs.
3Ease of operation
If the second member is easily detached from the tool, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to potential accidental disengagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the detachment force requirement by assigning low detachment force (F2) specifically to the second member (screw) to enable easy operation and quick attachment/detachment, while the first member (weight body) is assigned high detachment force (F1) to prevent accidental loss. This differentiated approach allows each member type to have optimized properties for its specific function.
4Device complexity
If a single tool is used to detach both members, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation worsens due to conflicting detachment force requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single tool that can detach both the first member and the second member, despite their different detachment force requirements. The tool is designed with a holding mechanism that can accommodate members with varying detachment characteristics, allowing one tool to perform multiple functions with different operational parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the holding mechanism's detachment force variable rather than fixed. The mechanism can provide high detachment force (F1) when needed for the first member and low detachment force (F2) for the second member, allowing the tool's characteristics to change dynamically based on which member is being detached.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design enhances handling properties by ensuring the first member is securely attached and easily replaced, while the second member is easily detached under its own weight, reducing the likelihood of accidental disengagement and maintaining component integrity during use.
Implementation Method 1
the projection part is biased in a projection direction. Preferably, if the projection part is pressed against the biasing, the projection part retracts.

AI summary
A golf club 2 includes a head 4, a shaft 6, a grip 8, a first member m1 detachably attached, a second member m2 detachably attached, and a tool 102. A minimum force required to detach the first member m1 from the tool 102 in a connection state of the tool 102 and the first member m1 is defined as F1. A minimum force required to detach the second member m2 from the tool 102 in a connection state of the tool 102 and the second member m2 is defined as F2. The force F1 is greater than the force F2.
