Abstract

PURPOSE: To accurately face the hit face of a head to a target by forming the major portion of the head with a transparent body, and burying a reflector or closely sticking it to the inclined face of the transparent body so that a ball to be hit and the target can be seen from above. CONSTITUTION: At least the center section of a head 1 is formed with a transparent body 2, and a reflector 3 inclined against the face 2a to be brought into contact with a ball 10 and reflecting the incident light from the horizontal direction upward is buried in it, or the head 1 is constituted of the transparent body 2 and the reflector 3, a face inclined against the face 2a to be brought into contact with the ball 10 is formed on the transparent body 2, a reflecting surface reflecting the incident light from the horizontal direction of the transparent body 2 is formed on the reflector 3, and the reflecting surface is closely stuck to the inclined face of the transparent body 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a putter for a golf club, and more particularly to a golf putter having a head provided with a reflecting surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A golf putter is composed of a head and a shaft, and in order to make it even more advantageous in competition, various arrangements such as the mounting angle of the head and the shaft, each shape and material, and how to determine the position of the center of gravity of the head are made. Has been added. The head is generally made of an integrated metal material.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When hitting a putt on the green or the like, even if the player tries to hit the ball in the correct direction toward a target such as a cup, the direction of the putter is not in the correct direction, so the direction is unexpected. Often struck by. In particular, beginners often have difficulty in deciding the relationship between the target, the ball, and the putter head, although the line may be misread.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a golf putter in which even when a beginner hits a putt, the face can be easily and confidently oriented in the correct direction. is there.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the golf putter of the present invention is a golf club putter in which at least a central portion of a head 1 is made of a transparent body 2 and the transparent body 2 is provided in the transparent body 2. The reflector 3 which is inclined with respect to the surface 2a to be in contact with the ball 10 and reflects upward light incident from the horizontal direction is embedded. Alternatively, head 1
1 has a transparent body 12 and a reflector 13, and the transparent body 12 has a surface 12 inclined with respect to a surface 12a to be in contact with the ball 10.
a surface 1 to be in contact with the ball on the reflector 13
2a has a reflecting surface 13a for reflecting the light incident in the horizontal direction upward, and the reflecting surface 13a is in close contact with the inclined surface 12b of the transparent body.

[0006]

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a main part of an embodiment of the present invention together with a ball to be hit by a head. FIG. 2 is a right side view showing only the head of the same portion of the embodiment of FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the same portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1-3, 1 is a head,
2 is a transparent body, 2a is a surface of the transparent body which is to be in contact with the ball, 3
Is a reflector, 3a is a reflecting surface of the reflector, 4 is a shaft mounting portion, 5 is a shaft, 10 is a ball, 20 is an image of a ball of a mirror surface (reflection surface) seen from above, and 21 is a cup seen from above. It is a statue.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main part of the head (or all but the reflector) is made of a transparent material such as reinforced plastic (as transparent body 2), in which the reflector 3 is It is embedded. The reflector 3 has its reflecting surface 3a.
However, it is inclined at about 45 degrees with respect to the surface 2a of the transparent body 2 that should come into contact with the ball 10 when hit with this putter. Therefore, when standing in front of the ball 10 with this putter, if the reflection surface 3a is viewed from above at a substantially correct position, the image 20 of the ball and the target object ( An image 21 of a cup, for example, can be seen.

At this time, the ball image 20 and the target image 2
By aligning the center lines of 1, the straight line connecting the striking surface of the putter and the ball accurately faces the target. Therefore, the straight line, slice line, and hook line can be understood naturally by such a simple operation, so even if you do not make a big mistake in the strength of the pad as it is or after an appropriate correction, even a beginner can easily make a cup. You can sink the ball into. Even when approaching from a distant place, accurate putting can be performed in the same manner by targeting a nearby mark. In addition, an arrow P in the drawings of FIGS. 1 and 3 indicates the moving direction of the head 1.

FIG. 4 is a front view showing the main part of another embodiment different from the embodiment shown in FIGS. FIG. 5 is a right side view showing the main part of the embodiment of FIG. 4 to 5, 11 is a head, 12 is a transparent body, 12a is a surface of the transparent body to be in contact with the ball, 12b is a surface inclined with respect to the surface 12a, 13 is a reflector, and 13a is a reflective surface of the reflector. , 14 are shaft mounting portions, and 15 is a shaft.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 to 5, the head 11 comprises a transparent body 12 and a reflector 13. The surface 12a of the transparent body 12 that should come into contact with the ball and the surface 12b that closely contacts the reflector.
Has an inclination of approximately 45 degrees. Reflective surface 1 of reflector
The surface 3a is in contact with the surface 12b, and reflects the light entering the surface 12a in the horizontal direction in the upward direction. Therefore, when standing in front of the ball 10 with this putter, if the position is substantially correct, as in the case shown in FIG.
Since the image of the ball and the image of the target object (for example, a cup) can be seen in a, the same effect as the embodiment of FIGS.

Before the reflector 3 is embedded in the transparent body 2, and before the reflector 13 is integrated with the transparent body 12 (processing such as bonding with an adhesive or assembling using screws by a method not shown). Needless to say, the reflecting surface 3a or 13a is mirror-finished. Further, the shapes of the transparent bodies 2 and 12 and the reflectors 3 and 13 that form the head are
Although various modifications other than those shown in the figure are conceivable, all modifications are included as long as they are within the spirit of the present invention.

[0012]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the main part of the head is made transparent, and a reflector that allows the ball to be hit and the target to be seen from above is embedded or embedded in the inclined surface of the transparent body. By bringing the reflecting surface of the reflector into close contact, there is an effect that the striking surface of the head can be accurately aimed at the target object. Moreover, by using this embodiment,
Even if you are a beginner, you can naturally sense straight lines, slice lines, and hook lines by matching the image of the target object such as the cup with the ball that appears on the reflective surface of the head.
