    摘要: A method for forming a fiber-reinforced composite structure comprising the steps of: a) providing at least one preform (10) comprising at least one first ply (14) and at least one subsequent ply (12) wherein each of said plies (12, 14) comprises a thermoset and/or thermoplastic resin matrix and fibers and wherein the direction of the fibers in said first ply (14) is different from the direction of the fibers in said subsequent ply (12); b) helically winding said preform (10) around a mandrel (20) from a first end region (21) of the mandrel to a second end region (23) of the mandrel and/or from said second end region (23) to said first end region (21), such that the direction of the fibers in the first ply (14) is orientated relative to an axial direction (X) defined by the mandrel (20) so as to improve a certain performance; c) as an alternative to step b), helically winding at least two preforms (10a, 10b) around the mandrel (20) from said first end region of the mandrel to said second end region of the mandrel, one (10b) of said preforms being wound clockwise and the other (10a) of said preforms being wound counterclockwise, such that the direction of the fibers in a ply of at least one of said preforms is orientated relative to the axial direction (X) defined by the mandrel (20) so as to improve a certain performance; d) repeating steps b) or c) until the successive windings of the preform (10) define a specific three-dimensional structure; e) compacting with pressure said specific three-dimensional structure; f) consolidating said specific three-dimensional structure through the application of a heating cycle as required by the resin systems.

    摘要: An iron-type golf club head comprises a body having a wall extending about an opening, the wall having an outer peripheral surface, a first hardness value, a sole, a toe and a topline. The gold club head includes a faceplate coupled to the body across the opening, the wall and the faceplate defining a rearward-facing cavity. A plurality apertures extend through the wall from the peripheral outer surface to the cavity, and a plurality of plugs are positioned, respectively, within a separate one of the plurality of apertures, and the plurality of plugs each having a hardness value, each of the plug hardness values being less than the first hardness value.

    摘要: An adjustable golf club head and weight structure is disclosed. The adjustable golf club head can include a crown, a toe, a hosel, and a sole. The sole of the club head may have one or more tracks located thereon. Each of the one or more tracks can have one or more weights secured therein. Each of the one or more weights can include an upper weight portion, and a lower weight portion. A screw can be positioned to adjoin the upper weight portion and the lower weight portion. The weight can also include a clip fastened to the screw such that the clip retains the screw within bores located in the upper and lower weight portions. In order to prevent the upper and lower weight portions from rotating with respect to one another, the weight can include an alignment portion and an alignment receptacle.

    摘要: A force-limiting and damping device has a body (10), a tapping element (20), an elastic element (30), and a locking element (40). The body (10) has a connecting segment (11) and a holding segment (12). The connecting segment (11) has a mounting hole (111). The tapping element (20) is connected to the body (10) to move relative to the connecting segment (11). The elastic element (30) is mounted between the tapping element (20) and the connecting segment (11). The locking element (40) is connected to the tapping element. The structural relationship between the connecting segment (11), the tapping element (20), the elastic element (30), and the locking element (40) may provide a delayed rebound and damping effect to the reaction force, and the applied force is continuously transferred to a tapping object to reduce noise and the loss of energy.

    摘要: A golf club comprising an elongate shaft having a grip at a first longitudinal end thereof; a club head coupled to a second longitudinal end of the elongate shaft, the club head comprising a sole and a ball striking face; and, an elongate marker comprising a longitudinal axis orientated such that, when the sole of the golf club lies substantially parallel to the plane of the ground, the longitudinal axis of the elongate marker extends in a plane defined by a first vector in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the ground and a second vector substantially parallel to a normal of the face of the club head. In use, the marker assists the player in optimizing the orientation of the golf club and, particularly but not exclusively, assists in achieving a “hands-ahead” position”. Methods for adapting a golf club and manufacturing a golf club are also disclosed.

    摘要: In general, aspects of this invention relate to blade-type iron golf clubs or golf club heads. The blade-type golf club head may comprise a body forged of a metal material. The body may include a hosel, a top surface, a sole, a heel, a toe, a ball striking surface, and a rear surface opposite the ball striking surface. The rear surface may have an upper blade portion and a lower muscle portion with the upper blade portion separated from the lower muscle portion by a blade interface. An average height of the lower muscle portion from the ball striking centerline to the toe-side boundary line may be approximately twice an average height of the lower muscle portion from the heel-side boundary line to the ball striking centerline. The mass distribution of the lower muscle portion moves the center of gravity of the club head closer to the face center location.
