Description
BACKGROUNG OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to an apparatus of golf, and
more particular to a golf club.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] The golf club can be separated to two kinds as usual, one is
made by metal and another is made by fiber material. The characters
of the metal golf club are strong rigidity and structures but the
weight is too heavy and lack of flexibleness. Most of the golf
clubs in the market now are made by fiber material. The fiber golf
clubs are almost made by wrapping or rolling the complex material
that is made by carbon fiber-boron fiber-glass fiber or laminated
fabric as light and flexibleness are the advantages. However, the
strength of the golf club structure is poor obversely and the Tip
where locates between the head and the flexible point is easy to
break particularly at the high speed hitting condition. This is a
long-term problem at produce the golf club.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide
a golf club that the tip has more structure strength.
[0006] According to the objective of the present invention, a golf
club comprise a club body that is made by fiber material and a
Butter portion at one end of the club body and a Tip portion at the
other end. The character of present invention is the Tip of the
club body that is covered by an amorphous metal film.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of
the present invention;
[0008] FIG. 2 is a regional section view along the line 2-2 of FIG.
1;
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] As shown from FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a golf club of the
preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises:
[0010] A club body 20 that is made by rolling the fiber material
that is preimpregnated with resin. The preimpregnated fiber
material 21 can be carbon fiber-boron fiber-glass fiber or
laminated fabric and a Butter portion 22 at one end of the club
body and a Tip portion 23 at the other end. The character of
present invention is the Tip 23 of the club body 20 that is covered
by an amorphous metal film 30. The soft amorphous metal film is
made by plate-float molding and the measurement is between 10 .mu.m
and 80 .mu.m. In this embodiment of present invention, the
measurement of the amorphous metal film 30 is between 15 .mu.m and
25 .mu.m with many holes 31 on it. The size of the holes can decide
by defacto condition. In this embodiment, the size of the hole is
in the recognizable size. The resin of the preimpregnated fiber
material 21 of the club body 20 will sink into these holes and
stick together and make the amorphous metal film 30 and the club
body 20 bonded better when the amorphous metal film 30 covered on
the club body 20.
[0011] As shows in FIG. 2, there is a pellucid protect layer covers
at the outside of the amorphous metal film. The pellucid protect
layer that is made by glass fiber can protect the club body 20 and
the amorphous metal film 30.
[0012] The amorphous metal film also can be placed at the inside of
the club body or in the preimpregnated fiber material before
rolling to form the Tip of the club body and this will make the
same effect to increase the structure of the Tip. Meanwhile, the
club will have the characters of the fiber material and metal by
adding the metal film into the fiber material to improve the
strength and not lose the advantage of fiber material also. The
structure of present invention is particular to increase the
strength of the torsion and rigidity of the Tip of the fiber club
and to make the fiber club can bear a big angular bending at high
speed hitting but not break. A long-term problem at produce the
golf club will be solved.
