  • Patent number: 11951364
    Abstract: An iron-type golf club head comprises a face having a striking surface, a back surface, and a face thickness defined therebetween. The back surface is provided with a cavity cavity-forming portion dented toward the striking surface. The cavity cavity-forming portion is provided with a protuberance in which the face thickness is partially increased, and which extends in the top-bottom direction of the head. In the cross section of the face perpendicular to the striking surface and parallel to the toe-heel direction, the protuberance has: a ridge at which the face thickness is largest in the protuberance; and a pair of inclined surfaces extending from the ridge toward a toe side and heel side of the cavity cavity-forming portion while decreasing the face thickness.

  • Publication number: 20240110898
    Abstract: An analyzer for a rubber composition includes an acquisition unit, a peak identification unit, and an estimation unit. The acquisition unit acquires data acquired by allowing a rubber composition to undergo component separation and mass separation, the data being plotted in a space defined by a time axis, a signal intensity axis, and a mass component axis. The peak identification unit identities peaks in signal intensity for mass chromatograms corresponding to positions on the mass component axis. The estimation unit estimates at least either of a physical property and an odor degree of the rubber composition based on the peaks identified for the mass chromatograms.
