Description

The visual push rod of aligning with enhancing

Technical field

The present invention relates generally to push rod and push rod cup for golf, (one or more) aligning assisted parts that it is manufactured at aligning and/or avoids better visual distraction during swinging and suppress wrong visual cues and/or give prominence to better push rod.

Background technology

In motor activity, the importance of vision and human eye can not be little accounted of to the reaction of light.In recent years, made improvement and allowed better sportsman's object observing in motor activity.For example, authorize the U.S. Patent No. 6,631,987 and 6,893 of Dr.Alan W.Reichow etc., 127 have described filter and have comprised the glasses of this filter, and it can strengthen the wearer to the visually-perceptible of target, for example to golf.Each of these patent documentations introduced by reference fully at this.

Sports apparatus itself also can be designed as and improves in athletic performance it aspect light interactional and/or the method for its passive movement person's observation.For example, the open No.2005/0170920A1 of United States Patent (USP) has described a kind of visual spherical structure that strengthens, and such as football, it comprises the zone with visual color that strengthens.The open No.2006/0185066A1 of United States Patent (USP) has described a kind of protectiveness face shield (for example be used for baseball or softball receiver, be used for rugby etc.), and this face shield has the polychrome inner surface, and the visual characteristic of its and its environment for use is mated.These patents disclosed each also at this by with reference to introducing fully.

As other motion, vision is also very important in golf sports accurately.Vision is important for many game of golf, particularly suitably aims at when golf ball-batting and/or when examining green.Although the recent technical development in the golf apparatus, push rod remain the more difficult part of match to many golfers.Push rod needs the golfer independently to practise in a large number, considers the information relevant with different parameters in a large number, the golf continuous action that then result and the analysis bank of these exercises is combined into health.More specifically, the first, the golfer must " examine " the fruit mountain range and will promote ball (that is, be applied to by push rod the power of ball) and will promote the desired orientation of ball with what desired speed in order to determine.These features rely on each other, given touching usually can promote with various speed and multiple different direction, and certain combination of speed and direction (particularly excessively steep landform, as most of greens) will cause ball is successfully pushed in the hole.For example, along touching of first direction can miss when the First Speed match play (for example, by match play " on " or match play " under "), but touching and can hole out with friction speed (or in relatively narrow velocity interval) in the same direction.Similarly, touch and to carry out in the scope of different directions, suitably adjust the speed of touching as long as the golfer impacts for specific direction.After reading fruit mountain range (for example, considering its " gradient ") and determining circuit and speed, the golfer must bat with desired speed along desired orientation with push rod.What these judgements or executory any deviation can lead to errors touches.

Many factors can cause the golfer to touch along the opposite way round, even when the direction that the correct judgement of golfer should be touched.For example, determined the expectation route that touches the golfer, he or she usually changes the position and addresses and bat.The golfer loses track and/or the unexpectedly misalignment of expectation route, because they move to health to touch the position that addresses from touching the observation place.

In addition, before swinging process or during, push rod cup can reverse or misalignment, cause thus touching waft from the expectation circuit.When club head itself had the root of visual distraction section (such as blaze surface, sharp corner or edge etc.), this problem can be increased the weight of.For example, when these visual distraction sections catches user's expression in the eyes when push rod swings, can cause golfer's eyes, head or health other parts at least slightly to move, this can unexpectedly affect speed and/or the direction of pushrod movement.In addition, these visual distraction can hinder the visuality that club head is aimed at assisted parts, can unexpected be affected the further feature of push rod direction.

Fatigue also affects the push rod process.When the details (for example aiming at assisted parts) the brightest in the visual field (the strongest visual signal) of focus, the vision attention that long period section in such as the activity of golf (fatigue can be influential, sharp-pointed, the environment light condition that changes and change that particularly run between active stage at golf) is inner and concentrating easily is held.The dispersing character of push rod cup as above and pushrod movement can cause more problem, because tired beginning in taking turns the golfer.

Thereby, expect that in the prior art the improvement of push rod makes and can keep golfer's better aligning and/or avoid visual distraction during push rod.

Usually, as mentioned above, aspect of the present invention relates to push rod and the push rod cup that uses in golf sports.According at least some aspects of the present invention, can comprise according to push rod cup of the present invention: (a) club head body, have striking surface and the top surface when observing from the orientation that addresses, wherein, the major part of this top surface has one or more dark colors nonreflective, the matt facing of (such as green, black, brown, dark-grey, dark brown etc.); (b) aim at assisted parts, be arranged on top surface or be formed integrally as the part of top surface, wherein, aiming at assisted parts forms and has one or more luminous, light tones reflection (such as " mark " types of colors, for example comprise, luminous or fluorescence is white, Huang, powder, purple, orange, blue or green (for example, form contrast by force with respect to other top surface color (one or more))), and wherein, the aligning assisted parts has covered the major part less than the top surface of club head body.The combination of these features has been controlled the club head body, has been aimed at luminous (brightness) and/or colored (color) contrast between assisted parts and/or background, " gives prominence to " better with respect to club head and/or background in the golfer visual field in order to allow to aim at assisted parts.When being incorporated into pusher structure, shaft member can engage with push rod cup, and handle member or other handle component can engage with shaft member.

Although the aligning assisted parts according to the present invention on the push rod cup of example can be taked various forms, the more specific example of aiming at the assisted parts structure also forms at least some exemplified aspect of the present invention.When observing from the orientation that addresses, the top surface of push rod cup can comprise striking surface front part (near striking surface) and main body part, and this main body part partly extends back and away from striking surface from striking surface.According at least some examples of the present invention, aiming at assisted parts can be two parts assisted parts, it comprises first and second portion, this first is positioned on the main body part of top surface or is formed integrally as its part, and second portion is positioned at the striking surface of top surface and partly goes up or be formed integrally as its part.In more specific example more according to the present invention, the main body part of aiming at assisted parts can comprise triangular element, be isosceles triangle alternatively, and have alternatively close and be in substantially parallel relationship to the flat limit of striking surface extension and the single apex region of leaning on the rear section to locate most towards the center of main body part.Subsidiary or alternatively, if necessary, the striking surface part of aiming at assisted parts can comprise the linear or polygonal element of elongated cardinal principle that partly extends the flat limit of gable (and be parallel to alternatively) along striking surface.

According at least some exemplified aspect of the present invention, the top surface of push rod cup can and be configured to make irrelevant visual information (such as the major part of push rod cup) to minimize with color, and makes aligning assisted parts visual information outstanding.This can so realize at least in part: be configured to it by the top surface that makes push rod cup and almost only comprise nonreflective, matt facing color and aim at assisted parts and (for example, almost there is no glittering or reflective color; Little or not sign, model data or other identity information; Almost there is no change color etc.).In some examples of the invention, top surface at least 65% (from the position that addresses, the percentage of top surface) will have nonreflective, matt facing, and top surface even at least 75% or even at least 85% has nonreflective, matt facing.For aiming at assisted parts, in specific examples more of the present invention, being less than of top surface 35% will comprise the aligning assisted parts, and even top surface is less than 25% or be less than 15% and can consist of the aligning assisted parts.In at least some examples of push rod cup structure according to the present invention, in the top surface color, at least 85% will comprise following combination: (a) nonreflective, matt facing and (b) aligning assisted parts, and in other example, this percentage can be at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98% or even at least 99%.From above-mentioned discussion as can be known, if necessary, the top surface color of push rod cup can mainly comprise: (a) nonreflective, matt facing and (b) according to the aligning assisted parts in push rod cup of the present invention and pusher structure.

The further feature of push rod cup and/or pusher structure can help to make dispersion and/or irrelevant visual information reduce or minimize, and helps to make the aligning assisted parts according to examples more of the present invention outstanding.For example, when by eye-observation, particularly in structure at the volley the time, the sharp corner in structure and edge can be visually more obvious.Therefore, if necessary, the top surface of push rod cup can be constructed to, and it is included in sharp corner and/or the abrupt surface height change of less (if any) observed from the orientation that addresses.In other words, the top surface of push rod cup can be constructed to have the apparent height variation of round and smooth bight and rounding off.This for example can be for example by casting, molded, machined and/or other method is configured to all the visual rounded portions of (or nearly all) top surface (round), chamferings (fillet) with push rod cup or other bight has round and smooth or the fillet characteristics (for example, at least 0.25mm radius, and 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 5mm or 10mm even at least at least at least at least at least in some instances).Similarly, it is round and smooth to avoid precipitous apparent height to change (for example, 0.25mm radius and 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 5mm or the band rounded edges of 10mm or round and smooth even at least at least at least at least at least at least in some instances that all (or nearly all) visible edge that represent on the top surface of club head and/or height change can become; Inclined wall between adjacently situated surfaces, etc.).

The push rod shaft can be also the reason (for example, due to its common glittering outward appearance, due to its contrast color with respect to club head and/or ground, etc.) of visual distraction.According at least some examples of the present invention, at least the part of the close push rod cup of shaft member can be configured to have nonreflective, the matt facing of one or more dark colors, for example, optionally above-mentioned color and facing are chosen as most color and/or the facing of the top surface of basic coupling club head body.Although any part of push rod shaft can arrange color and/or facing in this way, according at least some examples of the present invention, at least 10% of shaft member overall length can arrange color and/or facing with above-mentioned nonreflective matt facing, in some more specific examples, at least 25%, at least 50% or even at least 75% of shaft member overall length can arrange color and/or facing in this mode.If necessary, (or at least almost whole viewable portion is (namely for the whole viewable portion of shaft member, except Printing Department grades)) can comprise nonreflective, matt facing, alternatively to mate or substantially to mate color and/or the facing of club head top surface color and/or facing.

Other side of the present invention relates to push rod cup and the pusher structure with following one or more features: (a) club head body, have striking surface and the top surface when observing from the orientation that addresses, wherein, the major part of this top surface has nonreflective, the matt facing of fruit mountain range color (green color), and wherein, alternatively, one or more colors of matt facing color of being selected as substantially sneaking into (blend) or substantially mating the grass on green; (b) aim at assisted parts, be arranged on top surface or be formed integrally as the part of top surface, wherein, aiming at assisted parts forms alternatively and has one or more strong contrast colors (for example, luminous, reflectivity, bright etc.) and cover the major part that is less than club head body top surface; (c) shaft member, with the club head body engagement, alternatively, wherein, at least the part of the close club head body of shaft member has really nonreflective, the matt facing (alternatively, being chosen as color and/or the facing of substantially sneaking into or substantially mating the color of the grass on top surface color and/or facing and/or green) of mountain range color; And/or (d) handle or handle component, engage with shaft member.Be set to sneak into better the background of grass when color and/or facing, the combination of these features is controlled the club head body, is aimed at luminous (brightness) and/or colored (color) contrast between assisted parts and/or background, aims at assisted parts and " gives prominence to " better with respect to club head and/or background in the golf visual field in order to allow club head to sneak into better background and make.Push rod cup and/or shaft can also have above-mentioned any further feature (for example, round and smooth bight or edge; Shaft is aimed at assisted parts, and/or matt facing color; Aim at the assisted parts shape, position, and/or other characteristics; Top surface and/or shaft are by matt facing and/or aim at the percentage that assisted parts (one or more) covers; Deng).

B. make and/or use describe, in general terms according to the exemplary method of push rod cup of the present invention and/or push rod

Other side of the present invention relates to the method for making according to push rod cup of the present invention and/or push rod (routine all kinds described above).Such method for example can comprise following one or more: (a) at least the top surface of club head body is arranged facing, so that when observing from the orientation that addresses, the major part of top surface (for example has nonreflective, matt facing, with one or more dark colors, with fruit mountain range color, being chosen as the color of basic coupling golf course color, etc.); (b) form on top surface or as the aligning assisted parts of the part of top surface (aiming at assisted parts forms alternatively and has one or more strong contrasts the color such as (for example, luminous, reflectivity, bright) and cover the major part that is less than club head body top surface); (c) shaft member is engaged (alternatively with push rod cup, wherein, at least the part of the close club head body of shaft member has nonreflective, matt facing, and has alternatively the most color of basic coupling push rod cup top surface and/or color and/or the facing of facing); And/or (d) the handle member is engaged with shaft member.Push rod cup and/or shaft can also form has above-mentioned any further feature (for example, round and smooth bight or edge; Shaft is aimed at assisted parts, and/or matt facing color; Aim at the assisted parts shape, position, and/or other characteristics; Top surface and/or shaft are by matt facing and/or aim at the percentage that assisted parts (one or more) covers; Deng).

Can comprise according to certain methods of the present invention that other steps are assisted for the color of top surface and/or shaft member selects.For example, such method can comprise: (a) the specific setting (for example, the fruit mountain range of the fruit mountain range on specific golf course, the fruit mountain range in the specific geographical area, particular type turf, etc.) in the careless look of the specific green of investigation, fruit mountain range; (b) set up based on careless look the facing color that is used for push rod cup and/or shaft member at least in part, wherein, the facing color is applied to push rod cup and/or shaft during manufacture.Investigation can comprise the spectrum (for example, its light reflective properties, its absorbing properties, its photism etc.) of careless look.In this way, push rod cup and/or shaft can be especially with some colour plannings or customizations, these colors are corresponding to the fruit mountain range of specific golf course, fruit mountain range (for example, the northwest Pacific of specific region, the Florida, the Texas, Arizona etc.), specific careless type is (for example, bent grass, bluegrass etc.) Guo Ling, special time or the grass under particular light, weather or weather conditions in 1 year, etc.

Specific examples of the present invention is described in more detail following.The reader should be appreciated that these particular example just to explaination example of the present invention, and they should not be considered as limitation of the present invention.

C. specific examples of the present invention

Figure 1A to 1D shows according to the first example pusher structure 100 of the present invention.As shown in these figures, this example pusher structure 100 comprises club head member 102, and this club head member comprises and is attached to club head body 106 or forms its a part of striking surface 104.Shaft member 108 engages with club head member 102 in the mode of any desired, such as via the gummed or the bonding; Via screw thread or other mechanical fastener; Via welding, soldering or other fusion techniques; Deng.In addition, shaft member 108 and/or club head 102 can be made by the parts of any desirable number and/or the material of any desired, comprise legacy device, traditional material and conventional construction known in the art and that use.

Fig. 1 C and 1D show the top surface 106a of club head body 106 better, particularly the part that can be seen by the golfer of the club head surface during orientation of addressing before club head 102 is placed on tip-tap.Top surface 106a can comprise two major parts, namely, front portion or striking surface part 106b are (namely, top surface is near the part of striking surface 104) and rear portion or main body part 106c (that is, top surface 106a extend and extend away from striking surface 104 from striking surface part 106b part).(and in fact striking surface part 106b can be made by the material different from main body part 106c and/or different parts, can be made by same the material that consists of striking surface 104), perhaps these different pieces of club head 102 can be integrally formed as overall structure each other.Can there be or do not exist dividing line clearly between striking surface 104, striking surface part 106b and/or main body part 106c.

According at least some exemplified aspect of the present invention, the major part of the top surface 106a of club head 106 forms has facing nonreflective, matt type, is dark alternatively, such as green, black, brown, dark-grey or deeply brown.Matt facing can any desired mode be applied to club head body 106, and do not depart from the present invention, such as by japanning, by anodization or other electroplating technology, etc.Dark and matt facing helps to reduce the golfer to the concern of the main body of push rod, thereby and helps to prevent that light from causing visual distraction from the push rod cup reflection when golfer's aiming and/or tip-tap.Term " matt facing " is not intended to indicate polishing technology or the method for any specific as used herein, is only substantially to be used for expression dark or dull facing and/or catoptrical polishing technology hardly arbitrarily.

Fig. 1 C and 1D also show and aim at assisted parts 110, and it is included on the top surface 106a of push rod cup 102.The aligning assisted parts of at least some examples may be made in the color (for example, more catoptrical fluorescence types color or emission type color) of strong contrast according to the present invention.Although aim at the color that assisted parts 110 can be made for any desired, in at least some examples of the present invention, it can form with the dark dark with the remainder of the top surface of club head body 106 color of strong contrast and/or make with the color that background fruit mountain range forms strong contrast, such as bright, luminescent pigment or luminous or fluorescence " mark " types of colors, such as Huang, powder, purple, orange, blue, green etc.

Aiming at assisted parts 110 can be arranged on club head 102 in the mode of any needs, or forms therewith, and does not depart from the present invention.For example, if necessary, aim at assisted parts 110 and can be coated in or put on club head structure 102 or be integrally formed as its part.As other example, if necessary, aim at assisted parts 110 and can be independent element (for example, metallic plate, plastic plate, etc.), it utilizes mechanical fastener; Gummed or bonding; Fusion techniques etc. are fitted to recess or otherwise are attached to club head 102.If necessary, aligning assisted parts 110 can be formed into removable, thereby it can be replaced by another aligning assisted parts of different size, shape, design, color etc.

The combination that assisted parts 110 is aimed in dark dark body color and bright strong contrast helps to prevent golfer's eyes and attention focusing on any visual information relevant with club head body 106, and helps golfer's eyes and attention focusing on aligning assisted parts 110.As mentioned above, the most color of the top surface 106a of club head body 106 can be provided with dark dark color (matt facing), and the remainder of top surface (or remainder) basically comprises and aims at assisted parts 110.If necessary, according at least some examples of the present invention, color and/or the facing of the top surface 106a of push rod cup 102 are set to, and it almost only comprises nonreflective, matt facing color and aims at assisted parts (for example, does not almost have glittering or reflective color; Little or not sign, model data or other identity information; There is no visual connecting portion and joint etc. between part).In club head structure examples more of the present invention, at least 65% (percentage of the top surface that can see from the position that addresses) of top surface will have nonreflective, matt facing, and top surface even at least 75% or even at least 85% has nonreflective, matt facing.For aiming at assisted parts, in specific examples more of the present invention, being less than of top surface 35% will comprise the aligning assisted parts, and even top surface is less than 25% or be less than 15% and can consist of the aligning assisted parts.In at least some examples according to the present invention, in the top surface color, at least 85% will comprise following combination: (a) nonreflective, matt facing and (b) aligning assisted parts, and in other example, this percentage can be at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 98% or even at least 99%.From above-mentioned discussion as can be known, if necessary, the top surface color of push rod cup can mainly comprise: (a) nonreflective, matt facing and (b) according to the aligning assisted parts in push rod cup of the present invention and pusher structure.Other of top surface disperses visual signature, and such as the visual joint between parts, any Word message etc. can covered, hiding or camouflage or hidden at least in part.Although the pusher structure mode that common sightless part can any desired during tip-tap arranges color, design and/or structure and/or comprises that the information of any desired is (such as sign etc., see Figure 1A) and do not depart from the present invention, but these surfaces also can arrange color or consistent with the remainder of club head structure with matt facing, if necessary.

The shape of aiming at assisted parts 110 also helps to make golfer's eyes to focus in order to aim at.As shown in Fig. 1 C and 1D, it is leg-of-mutton (isosceles triangles) that this particular example is aimed at assisted parts 110, has a flat limit edge 110a who is roughly parallel to striking surface 104 extensions and has the summit of leaning on the location, rear section towards the center of club head body 102 most.When observing from the orientation that addresses, the eyes that these aligning assisted parts 110 shapes help to make the observer forward, attract towards ball and striking surface 104, and help the golfer to make the position of centre of gravity of club head aim at (in this exemplary device 100, center shaft installation portion can be regarded as forming the second portion of aiming at assisted parts) with ball.The parallel nature of leg-of-mutton flat limit edge 110a and striking surface 104 helps the direction alignment procedures.
