  • Publication number: 20090214326
    Abstract: A tray handling apparatus comprises a plurality of guides, a chuck device, a linear movement device, and a rack and pinion device. A space defined by the erected guides is used to hold a tray stack. The chuck of the chuck device is located at the center position of the bottom area of the space. The linear movement device is used to move the chuck relative to the guides. The rack and pinion device is used to cause the guides to move symmetrically. When an operator moves any one of the guides, the other guides move symmetrically and the center of the bottom area of the space surrounded by the guides remains at the same location during the movement of the guides. The operator does not need to adjust the position of the chuck if the positions of the guides are changed.

    Abstract: A titanium-aluminum alloy applied to a golf club head includes 88 wt % to 92 wt % titanium (Ti) and 7.5 wt % to 10 wt % aluminum (Al), and an elongation of the titanium-aluminum alloy is from 8% to 16%. Minor elements such as niobium (Nb), vanadium (V), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), silicon (Si), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N) may be selectively added into the titanium-aluminum alloy, so as to form a high extensibility material with a tensile strength from 650 Mpa to 950 Mpa, which can be applied to a main body. A golf club head combining a high-stiffness hitting surface, which is made of 6Al-4V—Ti titanium alloy or ? alloy, can achieve a golf club head product with good hitting sense, desirable damping capability, expected golf-controlling capability, and a customized feature of an adjustable angle at a club portion.

  • Publication number: 20090111604
    Abstract: A golf club head is provided. The golf club head comprises a main body and a club portion. The main body has a first junction surface, and the main body is made of a first material. The club portion has a second junction surface, the second junction surface is used to be jointed with the first junction surface, and the club portion is made of a second material. The second material and the first material are substantially different materials. As compared with the first material, the second material has a higher ductility, so after the main body and the club portion are jointed, the club portion has the function of adjusting the angle, the golf club head has a preferred damping effect and a high coefficient of rebound, so as to solve the problem that the integrally-formed main body and the club portion of the conventional golf club head must be manufactured with plenty of expensive material, and to reduce the manufacturing cost.

  • Publication number: 20090101494
    Abstract: A method for producing an internal antenna with an anti-electromagnetic interference property by performing a vacuum process, which includes (1) performing a surface pretreatment process on an insulating substrate to clean the surface thereof, (2) placing the substrate into a vacuum chamber, and performing a first plasma bombardment by using a conductive target material; (3) placing the substrate into another vacuum chamber, and performing a second plasma bombardment by using a passivation target material; (4) removing a certain part of the passivation layer and the conductive layer, such that a planar antenna pattern is remained with a certain distance spaced apart from the surrounding passivation layer and conductive layer. The conductive layer and the passivation layer cover the surface of the substrate for completely shielding the electromagnetic interference, and meanwhile, the planar shape of the antenna saves the cost and the available space within the housing.

  • Publication number: 20090093321
    Abstract: A golf club head structure includes a body portion, a hitting plate portion, and a club body combining portion. The body portion has a first junction surface forming a first hook angle therewith. The hitting plate portion has a hitting surface and a second junction surface with a buffer region spaced there-between. The second junction surface forms a second hook angle with the hitting plate portion, and butts against and attaches to the first junction surface on the same plane. The club body combining portion is provided for combining a club body. Therefore, a joint structure with a junction portion as a plane, capable of not being located on the surface of the club head and spaced by a buffer region with the hitting surface, is formed, which is applicable for solving the combination problem of the junction surface on the same plane that the casting is deformed.
