Abstract
A stroke calculating system for a golf club including means for measuring and counting each impact of the club head with a golf ball and a display mounted on the club to display the running total of strokes, and a reset means to permit manual reset of the display means.
Description
~ 21396gO' Stroke Calculating System For A Golf Club The present inventlon relates to a device for countlng golf strokes and more partlcularly to a golf club having means for sensing golf strokes and indicating the total strokes.
The use of different types o~i sensors with golf clubs is well known in the art. Such sensors have included accelel, L~lx for measuring the characterlstlcs of the golf swlng. It is also known to measure the location of the impact of the golf ball on the club head. An example of such a system is shown in U.S. Patent 4,991,850.
Other systems for use in measuring different golf swing parameters are shown in U.S. Patents 4,898,389;
4,136,387; 4,911,450; 3,945,646; and 4,930,787. However, none of these prior art documents discloses the use of a device which is adapted to automatically record the total number of strokes.
It is an ob~ect of the present invention to provide a device for use with a golf club which will record each golf stroke and calculate a running total.
It is a further ob~ect of the present invention to provide a golf club having stroke recording capabilities.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a golf club which is comprises of a club ~2139~90 head, a shaft, a handle portion, and a stroke calculating system associated therewlth. The stroke calculating system 1 nr~ impact gensing means which are operatively associated with the club head to generate a signal when the 5 club head strikes a golf ball. A calculating means receives the generated signal and is ~ 1 !Jn~l to maintain a running total of all impacts of the club head with a golf ball. A
display means permits the golfer to have visual access to the running total of strokes. Preferably there are provided 10 reset means to permit manual resetting of the display means to a null total.
In a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a stroke counting system adapted for use with a golf club. The system includes a sensor adapted to be mounted on 15 the club head and a tr~nc~ ~ associated therewith to generate an eleotrical signal upon impact of the club head with a golf ball. An electric circuit receives the signal from the tr~nqAIl~ means and calculates a running total of all the impacts. Display means are operatively associated 20 with the circuit means to visually display the running total and reset means permit manual resetting of the display means to a null total.
In greater detail, the invention lncludes sensor means which are adapted to sense each stroke of the golf 25 club. Such sensor means are known in the art and are adapted to sense on impact of the golf head on the golf ball. While ~ 213969u it would be pO~8~ hl ~ to use means such as the known accelerometer means ( shown ln the prior art ) such a system would suffer from the disadvantage o~ potentially recording practice swings and the like.
The sensor means are adapted to generate an electrical signal for each impact of the club head. There are many known trAn~ rs which are capable of performing this function. The invention also 1 n~l IlAc.~l calculating means which are adapted to receive the signal generated by the trAned~ r and to maintain a running total of the strokes.
A display means is operatively associated with the calculating means to provide a visible display of the running total. Various types of displays may be used from those commercially available although a preferred means would be a liquid crystal display adapted to show up to three figures. A
liquid crystal display has the advantage of a low power requirement .
The invention uu~lL ~1 Ates different means of inuul~olating the stroke mea- Ul~ ~ system. Thus, in one embodiment, the system may be fabricated as part of the of the club during manufacture although while, it may operate as an "add on" to pre-existing clubs. Preferably, the electronics are inuul~ultll ~d in the handles of the clubs.
The system may be adapted to any type of golf club as desired.
Having thus generally described the invention, ~ 2139~90 reference wlll be made to the ~- , ying drawings illustrating an embodiment thereof, in which:
Figure 1 is a view, partially in section, of a golf club in~ c,Llng the present invention;
Figure 2 is an assembly drawing illustrating the electronic portion placed in the club handle, Figure 3 is a detailed sectional view of the handle 10 portion of a club in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention;
