Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional golf putting devices suffer from low precision and portability issues due to protruding components and friction, which affect the accuracy and beauty of slope angle measurement.

Innovation Solution

A portable magnification angle adjuster with a screwing mechanism between the knob and rotation weight, featuring limited thread engagement to prevent protrusion and enhance rotation efficiency, includes a push puller and guide shaft to limit movement and reduce friction, maintaining precision and aesthetics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If threads are formed on the entire outer circumferential surface of the angle adjustment bar, then the angle adjustment bar can move the first rotation cam during rotation, but the angle adjustment bar protrudes to the outside during rotation, deteriorating exterior beauty and portability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle adjustment functionVSAvoidexterior beauty and portability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by forming threads only on a portion of the outer circumferential surface of the angle adjustment bar rather than the entire surface. This localized threading allows the bar to engage with and move the first rotation cam during rotation while preventing excessive protrusion, thereby maintaining exterior beauty and portability while preserving the angle adjustment function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If the first rotation cam moves excessively forward or backward, then the golfer can adjust the magnification angle, but the first rotation cam touches the first support, causing friction that decreases rotation efficiency and measurement precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnification angle adjustment rangeVSAvoidrotation efficiency and measurement precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by positioning the threaded portion of the angle adjustment bar such that the first rotation cam is engaged before excessive movement occurs. The threading mechanism provides preliminary engagement that prevents the cam from touching the first support, thereby avoiding friction and maintaining rotation efficiency and measurement precision throughout the adjustment range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the engagement parameters between the angle adjustment bar and the first rotation cam through threaded connection. This threaded engagement changes the movement parameters, allowing controlled adjustment of the magnification angle while preventing excessive movement that would cause the cam to touch the support, thus maintaining reliable rotation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If the angle adjustment bar moves together with the first rotation cam during rotation, then the magnification angle can be adjusted, but the protruding bar interferes with the user's body or trouser pocket when carried

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnification angle adjustmentVSAvoidinterference with user's body or pocket
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by limiting the threaded portion to a specific segment of the angle adjustment bar. This localized threading ensures that only the necessary portion of the bar engages with the rotation cam during adjustment, while the rest of the bar remains retracted, preventing interference with the user's body or pocket during carrying.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A portable magnification angle adjuster for golf putting is proposed. More particularly, in the portable magnification angle adjuster for golf putting, the decrease of the beauty and portability of the magnification angle adjuster due to the protruding of the knob from the casing during the rotation of a knob for the rectilinear movement of a rotation weight is prevented, and the range of the engagement of threads formed to move the rotation weight is limited such that the moving distance of the rotation weight is limited. To this end, the portable magnification angle adjuster includes: a casing; an indication hand; a knob; and a dial; and a rotation weight.
