  • Patent number: 7371188
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a striking plate component and a rear-assembling component mechanically connected thereto. The striking plate component provides with a striking face and a rear-connecting wall. The rear-connecting wall is bent rearward and extended a rearward extended length from the striking face. The rear-assembling component provides with a sidewall corresponding to the rear-connecting wall of the striking plate component. In assembling, the rear-connecting wall of the striking plate component connects with the sidewall of the rear-assembling component by means of an upstanding bent edge or a rear-assembling flange such that the rear-connecting wall separates the striking face from the rear-assembling component for permitting elastic deformation.

  • Patent number: 7258629
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a golf club head body and at least one club head component. The golf club head body provides with an assembling opening which includes a welding inner circumference, a supporting bottom periphery and a tapered portion. The club head component correspondingly provides with a welding outer circumference and a rear periphery. In welding, the welding inner circumference of the assembling opening is engaged with the welding outer circumference of the club head component, and the supporting bottom periphery of the assembling opening is further engaged with the rear periphery of the club head component. The tapered portion of the assembling opening is used to form a space for releasing inert gas from a welding portion in welding operation.

  • Patent number: 7258628
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a golf club head body having a connecting groove and a filling space, and a striking plate having an annular upright bent wall and a connecting end. In assembling, the connecting end of the annular upright bent wall of the striking plate is initially inserted into the connecting groove of the golf club head body so that an intensified structure is provided. The filling space of the golf club head body is further filled with a braze material. In brazing, the braze material contained in the filling space of the golf club head body is melted and thus filled within a clearance between the connecting groove of the golf club head body and the connecting end of the striking plate to form a welded layer.

  • Patent number: 7186191
    Abstract: A method of making a golf club head is disclosed. A striking plate is attached to a front open end of a metal casing to cover an opening. The striking plate is placed over the front open end by contacting a rear surface of the striking plate with the front open end, thereby creating a clearance between the rear surface and the front open end. A brazing material is positioned on one of the rear surface and the front open end externally of and immediately adjacent the clearance. When the brazing material melts, it flows into the clearance through a capillary action, thereby forming a layer of brazing material between the rear surface and the front open end.

  • Patent number: 7140976
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a golf club head body and a weight member mounted in a recession of the golf club head body. The weight member includes at least one solder channel for receiving solderable filler. The weight member is mounted in the recession of the golf club head body before a brazing process for bonding the weight member with the golf club head body. During the brazing process, the solderable filler is melted and fills a gap between the weight member and walls delimiting the recession of the golf club head body to thereby increasing bonding strength between the weight member and the walls delimiting the recession of the golf club head body.
