20080237305 | High-Capacity Air Cargo Pallet Using Friction Stir Welding - This invention relates to methods for making high strength friction stir welded joints. Broadly the invention provides for a method for making a friction stir welded joint including the steps of applying an adhesive to one surface of a first material to be welded; applying a second material to be welded to the adhesive the first material; curing the adhesive; and forming a friction stir weld joint through the cured adhesive by friction stir welding. | 10-02-2008 |
20100113176 | Wrapping Element For A Golf Club - Wood-type golf club heads (e.g., drivers, fairway woods, wood-type hybrid clubs, or the like) include: (a) a ball striking face; (b) a club head body engaged or integrally formed with the ball striking face, wherein the club head body includes a removable wrapping element proximal to the ball striking face. | 05-06-2010 |
20100227701 | GOLF CLUB HEAD AND GOLF CLUB WITH TENSION ELEMENT AND TENSIONING MEMBER - A golf club head includes a club head having a plurality of components and a plurality of retaining members, with each retaining member positioned on one of the components. A tensioning assembly for releasably securing the components of the club head together includes a tension element coupled to the club head components by way of the retaining members, and a tensioning member for introducing tension into the tension element. | 09-09-2010 |

20110294589 | GOLF CLUB HEAD OR OTHER BALL STRIKING DEVICE HAVING REMOVABLE or INTERCHANGEABLE BODY MEMBER - A ball striking device, such as a golf club, includes a head with a face having a ball striking surface configured for striking a ball, a main body member connected to the face and having an engagement surface located in the rear side, a removable body member removably connected to the main body member, and a connecting element removably connecting the removable body member to the main body member. The connecting element includes a moveable engaging member that is moveable between a locked position, where the engaging member engages the engagement surface to retain the removable body member to the main body member, and an unlocked position, where the engaging member does not engage the engagement surface and the removable body member is removable from the main body member. | 12-01-2011 |
20130324301 | Golf Club Head or Other Ball Striking Device With Face Having Modulus Variance - A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, includes a face having a ball striking surface, an inner surface opposite the ball striking surface, and a thickness defined between the ball striking surface and the inner surface, and a body connected to the face and extending rearward from the face. The face has a modulus gradient across the thickness of the face, such that the modulus of the face varies at different distances from the ball striking surface. The face may also include at least one of an insert, a composite material, a multi-layered structure, and/or a portion treated by a surface treatment to contribute to the modulus gradient. | 12-05-2013 |
20130331202 | Golf Clubs and Golf Club Head Structures Having Contoured Backstop - Golf club and golf club head structures include an inner wall or backstop arranged behind a ball striking surface of the golf club head and defining a gap between the inner wall and a rear surface of the ball striking surface. In some arrangements, the size of the gap may vary along a heel-to-toe length of the inner wall or backstop. For instance, the size of the gap may gradually increase from a first end of the inner wall toward a central region of the inner wall, and may gradually decrease from the central region toward a second end of the inner wall. In some examples, the inner wall or backstop may be connected to the golf club head, for instance, at a first end and/or a second end. | 12-12-2013 |
20150190685 | Golf Club Head or Other Ball Striking Device With Face Having Modulus Variance - A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, includes a face having a ball striking surface, an inner surface opposite the ball striking surface, and a thickness defined between the ball striking surface and the inner surface, and a body connected to the face and extending rearward from the face. The face has a modulus gradient across the thickness of the face, such that the modulus of the face varies at different distances from the ball striking surface. The face may also include at least one of an insert, a composite material, a multi-layered structure, and/or a portion treated by a surface treatment to contribute to the modulus gradient. | 07-09-2015 |
