摘要:
A metal wood golf club head having a substantial portion of the mass of the club positioned near the front, striking face of the club head. A high density material, such as tungsten, is inlaid in the face section of the club head. The remaining, rear bulbous section is made of a lightweight, high strength material such as titanium.
摘要:
A heat extracting substrate is moved along a melt front formed at the edge of the surface of a molten material so that a layer of molten material is deposited on the substrate, cooled and removed from the substrate to form ribbon, filaments, fiber or film directly from the molten material. The edge may be formed by providing an upper edge upon a portion of the wall of a receptacle lower than the top of the receptacle. The molten material may be overflowed over this relatively horizontal edge and against the moving substrate surface.

A stepped golf club shaft with cylindrical segments joined by conical bands. The shaft is a composite with longitudinal and helical reinforcing fibers. The majority of the longitudinal fibers are located within the inner half of the shaft sidewall thickness, and the helical fibers are located within the outer half. A cutting tool is inserted into the bore of the hollow shaft and severs some of the longitudinal fibers to reduce the shaft stiffness, and therefore the natural frequency of oscillation, of the shaft.

The flow control of molten alloy material in a tundish is improved by the design of a perpendicular turn in the path of flow of the molten alloy material as the flow leaves an intermediate section of the tundish or casting receptacle and overflows transversely an exit lip to thereby contact a heat-extracting substrate. The perpendicular turn in the flow achieves improved control of the molten alloy material's velocity profile, cooling rate, and depth and flow uniformity of the molten alloy material in the casting receptacle. The essentially perpendicular turn in the path of the molten alloy material from the intermediate section causes the molten alloy material to approach the exit lip in a transverse direction unlike conventional laminar or direct delivery molten flow. The transverse flow relative to the direction of the exit over-flow toward the casting or cooling surface facilitates improved mixing of the molten alloy material, improved control of the depth gradient, and improved control of the velocity into the exit lip.
摘要:
A preform useful in forming fiber reinforced cementitious composites is disclosed. The preform consists of a free-standing network of metal fibers. In one embodiment, the preform has a shape which bounds a substantial non-interstitial volume devoid of fibers such as a ladle lip ring or an I-beam. The amount of fibers in the preform ranges from about 1 to 10 percent by volume.
摘要:
A method for measuring the swing time of a golfer's swing and selecting a golf club having the inverse of four times its natural frequency which is approximately equal to the swing time. The golfer's swing time is defined as the time elapsed between maximum acceleration of a club head during downswing until ball impact. In the preferred embodiment, an accelerometer is mounted within the club head and is connected to an electronic data processor. A graph of club head acceleration versus time is plotted and the swing time is measured from the graph, between peak acceleration and ball impact.
摘要:
A golf swing analyzer that can be attached to a golf club shaft. The analyzer includes a housing with an integral shaft mount. The housing contains an internal chamber in which an accelerometer, microprocessor and data storage are contained, and an output display screen mounted to the housing. The analyzer measures acceleration during a golfer's swing and calculates the frequency of a club that would be straight at ball impact.
摘要:
A method for measuring the swing time of a golfer's swing and selecting a golf club having k divided by four times the club's natural frequency (f.sub.n) approximately equal to the golfer's swing time. The golfer's swing time is defined as the time elapsed between maximum deflection of a club shaft during downswing until ball impact. The adjustment factor, k is in the equation since the motion of a golf swing is not periodic motion. The adjustment factor, k is determined by measuring the swing time of a representative golfer, finding the preferred f.sub.n for his swing and solving the above equation for k. In the preferred embodiment, an accelerometer is mounted within the club head and is connected to an electronic data processor. A graph of club head angular or radial acceleration versus time is plotted and the swing time is measured from the graph, between either peak angular acceleration or the latest point of maximum slope for radial acceleration and ball impact.
摘要:
Molten metal dispensed upon the surface of an adjacent rotating drum produces a ribbon of solidified metal which separates from the drum while the drum is rotating. To prevent ripples from forming in the surface of the ribbon, a casting surface on the periphery of the rotating drum includes structure to minimize the ratio of transverse heat flow rate from the casting surface to radial heat flow rate.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a reinforced cementitious columnar structure including: providing a mold having a cavity which corresponds to a shape and size of the columnar structure; placing at least one nonwoven metal fiber mat around the periphery of the cavity; filling the cavity with a slurry of cementitious material containing aggregate having a particle size greater than the size of the interstitial voids of the fiber mat; curing the slurry of cementitious material; and removing the mold.
