- the multiple uneven parts 40 allow the angle between the shaft 12 and the club head 14 to be adjusted by changing the meshing. Angles that can be adjusted by the multiple uneven parts 40 include, for example, the face angle, loft angle, and lie angle. By adjusting the angle of the club head 14, it is possible to adjust, for example, the direction in which the golf ball rolls when hit, depending on the habits of the golf player putting.
- annular member 38 may have an uneven portion 40.

- the outer diameter L38 of the annular member 38 is shown in FIG. 4. It is preferable that the outer diameter L38 of the annular member 38 is the same dimension as the outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36. This makes the annular member 38 and the annular protrusion 36 flush with each other. As a result, the peripheral portion of the neck 141 forms an outer circumferential surface having the same outer diameter, resulting in a slim shape without steps. Furthermore, the hosel 16 is such that the portion from the connection portion 34 to the annular protrusion 36 is connected by an outer circumferential surface having the same outer diameter, allowing the peripheral portion of the neck 141 to be formed into a slim shape without steps.
- the outer diameter L38 of the annular member 38 and the outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36 may be different. Even in this case, it is preferable that the outer diameter L38 of the annular member 38 and the outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36 are equal to or smaller than the outer diameter L12 of the shaft 12 located at the outermost periphery at the connection portion 34 with the hosel 16. In other words, it is preferable that the outer diameter of the angle adjustment member 28 is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter L12 of the shaft 12 located at the outermost periphery at the connection portion 34 with the hosel 16. This makes the appearance of the peripheral portion of the neck 141 slimmer.
- the golf club (10) is a golf club comprising a shaft (12) having a grip (20), a club head (14) connected to the shaft, and a hosel (16) connecting the club head and the shaft and fixed to the club head, the club head having an attachment hole (24) for receiving and holding the hosel, the hosel having an insert (26) inserted into the shaft and the attachment hole, and an angle adjustment member (28) for adjusting the angle of the insert relative to the club head, the shaft having a receiving hole (22) for receiving the insert at a tip end (12t), the shaft being connected to the insert on the base end direction (D2) side of the angle adjustment member, and the shaft being located at the outermost periphery at the connection part (34) with the hosel. Since the shaft is located at the outermost periphery at the connection part with the hosel, no step or bulge appears in the peripheral part of the neck of the club head. Therefore, the appearance near the neck becomes slimmer.
- an outer diameter of the angle adjustment member may be equal to or smaller than an outer diameter (L12) of the shaft. This makes the appearance of the vicinity of the neck slimmer.
- the angle adjustment member may have an annular protrusion (36) that bulges outward in the radial direction from the insert, and a plurality of annular members (38) that are disposed in a tip direction (D1) relative to the annular protrusion and surround the outer periphery of the insert, and the outer diameter (L36) of the annular protrusion and the outer diameter (L38) of the annular members may have the same dimension. This makes the appearance of the neck area slimmer.
- the annular member may have a plurality of projections and recesses (40) each extending toward the tip end and the base end, and the angle adjustment member may adjust the angle of the club head by changing the meshing of the projections and recesses of the plurality of annular members. This allows, for example, the direction in which the golf ball rolls when the golfer putts to be adjusted according to the habits of the golf player.
- the attachment hole may pass through the club head, and the insert may be fixed to the club head from a tip side of the club head by a screw member (32). By removing the screw member from the screw hole, the club head and the shaft can be easily separated.

The annular protrusion 36 constitutes a part of each angle adjustment member 28, as described below.
インサート26の第1部分261は、インサート26のうち、環状突起36に対して先端方向D1側の部分である。したがって、第1部分261は、インサート26の先端部26tを含む。第1部分261の少なくとも一部が、上述したクラブヘッド14の取付孔24に挿入される。
The first portion 261 of the insert 26 is the portion of the insert 26 on the tip direction D1 side relative to the annular protrusion 36. Therefore, the first portion 261 includes the tip portion 26t of the insert 26. At least a portion of the first portion 261 is inserted into the mounting hole 24 of the club head 14 described above.
インサート26には、ネジ穴(雌螺子)30が形成されている。ネジ穴30は、インサート26の先端部26tから基端方向D2に向けて延在する。ネジ穴30には、クラブヘッド14の先端方向D1側から取付孔24に挿入されるネジ部材(雄螺子)32が螺合する(図1、図2も参照)。これにより、ホーゼル16は、クラブヘッド14に固定される。
A screw hole (female screw) 30 is formed in the insert 26. The screw hole 30 extends from the tip 26t of the insert 26 toward the base end direction D2. A screw member (male screw) 32 inserted into the mounting hole 24 from the tip direction D1 side of the club head 14 screws into the screw hole 30 (see also Figures 1 and 2). This fixes the hosel 16 to the club head 14.
クラブヘッド14の取付孔24にホーゼル16が固定されることにより、クラブヘッド組立体42が構成される。すなわち、クラブヘッド組立体42は、クラブヘッド14と、クラブヘッド14の取付孔24に固定されたホーゼル16とを備える組立体(構造体)である。
The club head assembly 42 is formed by fixing the hosel 16 to the mounting hole 24 of the club head 14. In other words, the club head assembly 42 is an assembly (structure) that includes the club head 14 and the hosel 16 fixed to the mounting hole 24 of the club head 14.
インサート26の第2部分262は、インサート26のうち、環状突起36に対して基端方向D2側の部分である。したがって、第2部分262は、インサート26の基端部26bを含む。第2部分262は、シャフト12の受け孔22(上述)に挿入される(図2も参照)。
The second portion 262 of the insert 26 is the portion of the insert 26 on the base end direction D2 side relative to the annular protrusion 36. Therefore, the second portion 262 includes the base end portion 26b of the insert 26. The second portion 262 is inserted into the receiving hole 22 (described above) of the shaft 12 (see also FIG. 2).
本実施形態によれば、第1部分261の少なくとも一部がクラブヘッド14の取付孔24に挿入されるとともに、第2部分262がシャフト12の受け孔22に挿入される。これにより、クラブヘッド14とシャフト12とが、ホーゼル16を介して連結される。環状突起36は、インサート26をシャフト12の受け孔22に挿入した際に、シャフト12の先端と当接することで、シャフト12の先端に向けた前進を阻止する。環状突起36は、ホーゼル16とシャフト12との長手方向の相対位置を位置決めする。第2部分262とシャフト12とは、接着剤等によって分離不能に接合される。
According to this embodiment, at least a portion of the first portion 261 is inserted into the mounting hole 24 of the club head 14, and the second portion 262 is inserted into the receiving hole 22 of the shaft 12. This connects the club head 14 and the shaft 12 via the hosel 16. When the insert 26 is inserted into the receiving hole 22 of the shaft 12, the annular protrusion 36 abuts against the tip of the shaft 12, thereby preventing forward movement of the insert 26 toward the tip of the shaft 12. The annular protrusion 36 determines the relative longitudinal positions of the hosel 16 and the shaft 12. The second portion 262 and the shaft 12 are inseparably joined by an adhesive or the like.
本明細書において、シャフト12とホーゼル16とが径方向に重なる部分を接続部34と呼ぶ。シャフト12は、ホーゼル16(第2部分262)との接続部34において最外周に位置する。したがって、接続部34においてシャフト12が最も太い部分となる。なお、ネジ部材32をネジ穴30(取付孔24)から取り外すことで、クラブヘッド14とシャフト12とを容易に分離させることが可能である。
In this specification, the portion where the shaft 12 and hosel 16 overlap radially is called the connection portion 34. The shaft 12 is located at the outermost periphery at the connection portion 34 with the hosel 16 (second portion 262). Therefore, the shaft 12 is at its thickest at the connection portion 34. The club head 14 and shaft 12 can be easily separated by removing the screw member 32 from the screw hole 30 (mounting hole 24).
角度調整部材28は、クラブヘッド14に対するインサート26の角度を調整する部材である。角度調整部材28は、シャフト12の先端部12tに対して、先端方向D1に位置している(図1、図2参照)。換言すれば、シャフト12は、角度調整部材28よりも基端方向D2側において、インサート26に接続されている。なお、角度調整部材28の少なくとも一部は、インサート26の第2部分262とともに、取付孔24に挿入されてもよい。図3に示すように、角度調整部材28は、環状突起36と、複数の環状部材38とを有する。
The angle adjustment member 28 is a member that adjusts the angle of the insert 26 relative to the club head 14. The angle adjustment member 28 is located in the tip direction D1 relative to the tip 12t of the shaft 12 (see Figures 1 and 2). In other words, the shaft 12 is connected to the insert 26 on the base direction D2 side of the angle adjustment member 28. At least a portion of the angle adjustment member 28 may be inserted into the mounting hole 24 together with the second portion 262 of the insert 26. As shown in Figure 3, the angle adjustment member 28 has an annular protrusion 36 and a plurality of annular members 38.
環状突起36は、インサート26から外周側に向けて突出した環状の突起である。環状突起36は、環状突起36の径方向外方に向けて、インサート26から膨出する。環状突起36は、インサート26と一体成形されてもよい。環状突起36は、インサート26に別体の部材を接合して形成されてもよい。
The annular protrusion 36 is an annular protrusion that protrudes from the insert 26 toward the outer periphery. The annular protrusion 36 bulges outward from the insert 26 in the radial direction of the annular protrusion 36. The annular protrusion 36 may be molded integrally with the insert 26. The annular protrusion 36 may be formed by joining a separate member to the insert 26.
環状突起36の外径L36と、シャフト12の外径L12とが、図4に示されている。環状突起36の外径L36は、シャフト12の外径L12と同等以下である(L36≦L12)ことが好ましい。一例として、環状突起36の外径L36と、シャフト12の外径L12とは、同等であってもよい。この場合には、ホーゼル16との接続部34において最外周に位置するシャフト12と、環状突起36とが、面一になる。シャフト12と環状突起36とを面一にすることで、シャフト12からネック141の周辺部分が一定の外径で延在し、段差や膨出部分が現れない。そのため、上記の構成は、ネック141付近の外観をスリムにできる。
The outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36 and the outer diameter L12 of the shaft 12 are shown in FIG. 4. It is preferable that the outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36 is equal to or less than the outer diameter L12 of the shaft 12 (L36≦L12). As an example, the outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36 and the outer diameter L12 of the shaft 12 may be equal. In this case, the shaft 12 located at the outermost periphery at the connection portion 34 with the hosel 16 and the annular protrusion 36 are flush with each other. By making the shaft 12 and the annular protrusion 36 flush with each other, the peripheral portion of the neck 141 extends from the shaft 12 with a constant outer diameter, and no steps or bulges appear. Therefore, the above configuration can make the appearance near the neck 141 slimmer.
複数の環状部材38は、環状突起36に対して先端方向D1に配置されている。複数の環状部材38は長手方向に隣り合って配列されている。複数の環状部材38は、インサート26(第1部分261)の外周部を囲む。複数の環状部材38は、インサート26を中心にして回転可能である。
The multiple annular members 38 are arranged in the tip direction D1 relative to the annular protrusion 36. The multiple annular members 38 are arranged adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction. The multiple annular members 38 surround the outer periphery of the insert 26 (first portion 261). The multiple annular members 38 are rotatable around the insert 26.
図3に示すように、複数の環状部材38の各々は、複数の凹凸部40を有する。複数の凹凸部40(複数の凸部)は、環状部材38から先端方向D1と基端方向D2とに延び出ている。長手方向に隣り合う凹凸部40は、互いに噛み合うことができる。インサート26を中心にして複数の環状部材38のうちの少なくとも1つを回転させることで、長手方向に隣り合う凹凸部40の噛み合わせを変更することができる。
As shown in FIG. 3, each of the multiple annular members 38 has multiple uneven portions 40. The multiple uneven portions 40 (multiple convex portions) extend from the annular member 38 in the distal direction D1 and the proximal direction D2. The uneven portions 40 adjacent in the longitudinal direction can interlock with each other. By rotating at least one of the multiple annular members 38 around the insert 26, the interlocking of the uneven portions 40 adjacent in the longitudinal direction can be changed.
複数の凹凸部40は、その噛み合わせの変更により、シャフト12とクラブヘッド14との角度を調整可能とする。複数の凹凸部40によって調整される角度としては、例えば、フェース角、ロフト角、ライ角が挙げられる。クラブヘッド14の角度を調整することで、例えば、パッティングを行うゴルフプレイヤーの癖に応じて、打たれたゴルフボールが転がる方向等を調整することができる。
The multiple uneven parts 40 allow the angle between the shaft 12 and the club head 14 to be adjusted by changing the meshing. Angles that can be adjusted by the multiple uneven parts 40 include, for example, the face angle, loft angle, and lie angle. By adjusting the angle of the club head 14, it is possible to adjust, for example, the direction in which the golf ball rolls when hit, depending on the habits of the golf player putting.
図3に示すように、環状部材38のみならず、環状突起36が、凹凸部40を有してもよい。環状突起36の凹凸部40と、環状突起36と隣り合う環状部材38の凹凸部40との噛み合わせが変更されることに応じて、シャフト12に対するクラブヘッド14の角度が調整されてもよい。
As shown in FIG. 3, not only the annular member 38 but also the annular protrusion 36 may have an uneven portion 40. The angle of the club head 14 relative to the shaft 12 may be adjusted by changing the engagement between the uneven portion 40 of the annular protrusion 36 and the uneven portion 40 of the annular member 38 adjacent to the annular protrusion 36.
環状部材38の外径L38が、図4に示されている。環状部材38の外径L38は、環状突起36の外径L36と同一寸法であることが好ましい。これにより、環状部材38と環状突起36とが面一になる。その結果、ネック141の周辺部分が同一の外径を有する外周面を形成し、段差のないスリムな形状となる。さらに、ホーゼル16は、接続部34から環状突起36の部分が、同一の外径を有する外周面でつながり、ネック141の周辺部分を段差のないスリムな形状に形成できる。
The outer diameter L38 of the annular member 38 is shown in FIG. 4. It is preferable that the outer diameter L38 of the annular member 38 is the same dimension as the outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36. This makes the annular member 38 and the annular protrusion 36 flush with each other. As a result, the peripheral portion of the neck 141 forms an outer circumferential surface having the same outer diameter, resulting in a slim shape without steps. Furthermore, the hosel 16 is such that the portion from the connection portion 34 to the annular protrusion 36 is connected by an outer circumferential surface having the same outer diameter, allowing the peripheral portion of the neck 141 to be formed into a slim shape without steps.
なお、環状部材38の外径L38と環状突起36の外径L36とは相違してもよい。その場合であっても、環状部材38の外径L38と環状突起36の外径L36とは、ホーゼル16との接続部34において最外周に位置するシャフト12の外径L12と同等以下であることが好ましい。換言すれば、角度調整部材28の外径は、ホーゼル16との接続部34において最外周に位置するシャフト12の外径L12と同等以下であることが好ましい。これにより、ネック141の周辺部分の外観がスリムになる。
The outer diameter L38 of the annular member 38 and the outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36 may be different. Even in this case, it is preferable that the outer diameter L38 of the annular member 38 and the outer diameter L36 of the annular protrusion 36 are equal to or smaller than the outer diameter L12 of the shaft 12 located at the outermost periphery at the connection portion 34 with the hosel 16. In other words, it is preferable that the outer diameter of the angle adjustment member 28 is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter L12 of the shaft 12 located at the outermost periphery at the connection portion 34 with the hosel 16. This makes the appearance of the peripheral portion of the neck 141 slimmer.
