Golf club head

Golf club head description/claims

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a golf club head, more particularly to a golf club head, the center of gravity of which is lowered, and the components of which can be connected firmly.

2. Description of the Related Art

Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional golf club head 1 includes a shell 11 made of a metal material and having an assembling hole 10, and a covering plate 12 made of a carbon fiber material and covering the assembling hole 10. Since the specific gravity of the shell 11 is larger than that of the covering plate 12, the center of gravity of the golf club head 1 is lowered relatively as compared to that of other conventional golf club heads. A weight distribution block 13 can be optionally mounted in the shell 11 of the golf club head 1 so as to further lower the center of gravity of the golf club head 1.

However, since the carbon fiber material is relatively costly, and since the covering plate 12 should be made via a hot pressing procedure, the production cost of the conventional golf club head 1 is relatively high, and the production procedure thereof is relatively complicated.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a golf club head, the center of gravity of which is lowered further so as to improve the striking effect and stability thereof.

Accordingly, the golf club head of this invention includes a shell, a covering plate, and a male-and-female engagement unit. The shell includes an inner surface, an outer surface, an assembling hole extending through the inner and outer surfaces, a bounding edge bounding the assembling hole, and a flange projecting inwardly from the inner surface and the bounding edge and extending toward the assembling hole. The flange has a shoulder face that has a depth from the outer surface and that is adjacent to the bounding edge. The shoulder face extends in full length of the bounding edge. The covering plate is inserted into the assembling hole and contacts the shoulder face. The male-and-female engagement unit is provided on and interengages the covering plate and the flange.

Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:

FIG. 1 is an exploded sectional view of a conventional golf club head;

FIG. 2 is an exploded sectional view of a first preferred embodiment of a golf club head according to this invention;

FIG. 3 is an exploded sectional view of a second preferred embodiment of a golf club head according to this invention; and

FIG. 4 is an exploded sectional view of a third preferred embodiment of a golf club head according to this invention.

Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.
