Abstract: A swing weight for a golf club wherein the swing weight includes a main body sized and adapted to be received in a tubular shaft of the golf club, a flange adjacent one end of the main body and having larger cross-sectional dimensions than the main body, and a locking region on the main body adjacent to flange. The locking region has a cross-sectional dimension which is less than a cross-sectional dimension of the flange and which is greater than a cross sectional dimension of other regions of the main body.

Abstract: A golf club comprising a golf club head having a passage terminating in the head and an elongated shaft having a generally axially extending bore and counterbore. The counterbore opens at one end of the shaft. An end portion of the shaft is received in the passage of the head and a weight is retained in the counterbore.

Abstract: A speed-loading device comprising a container having an interior chamber and a discharge opening leading from the chamber to the exterior of the container. The container has a storage section in the chamber for storing cartridges in side-by-side relationship and an orienting section in the chamber between the opening and the storage section. The container can be oriented so that the cartridges in the chamber can fall by gravity from the storage section through the orienting section and out through the discharge opening. A removable blocking member blocks the flow of cartridges out through the discharge opening. The orienting section rotates the cartridges as they fall through the orienting section toward the discharge opening so that the cartridges fall end first through the discharge opening.

Abstract: A method of weighting an arrowhead having a wall defining an interior passage and a pointed end comprising introducing an adhesive weight composition of the desired weight and in a solid state into the passage and heating the arrowhead and weight composition to an elevated temperature within the passage with the composition being flowable at such elevated temperature and cooling the adhesive weight composition to a solid state to strongly adhere the weight composition to the wall of the passage to such an extent that the adhesive weight composition is not likely to release from the wall during normal use of the arrowhead. An arrowhead having a wall defining an interior passage opening at a surface of the arrowhead and a pointed end for penetrating an object. An adhesive weight composition which is sticky in the solid state and cured in situ is located in the passage. The weight composition is strongly adhered to the wall of the passage and is pliable in the solid state.

Abstract: A method of weighting a hollow golf club head having a wall defining an interior chamber and a hosel leading to such chamber comprising providing an adhesive weight composition of the desired weight at an elevated temperature within the chamber with the composition being flowable at such elevated temperature and cooling the adhesive weight composition to a solid state to strongly adhere the weight compostion to the wall of the chamber to such an extent that the adhesive weight composition is not likely to release from the wall during normal use of the golf club head. The adhesive weight composition preferably includes a sticky adhesive composition and particulate material.

Abstract: A method of making a weighted article comprising providing a member having a cavity with an anchor affixed to the member, placing a mass of permanently deformable weight composition into the cavity and deforming the mass of weight composition to embed the anchor in the weight composition and to cause the weight composition to circumscribe at least a region of the anchor to securely lock the weight composition in the cavity.

Abstract: A weight capsule having rupturable walls and an interior cavity containing a particular substance, such as an adhesive or solvent. The weight capsule may be placed in a cavity of a member and compressively loaded to rupture the wall so that the substance is in intimate contact with the surrounding structure in the cavity of the member. The weight capsule may include a mass of weight composition.

Abstract: An extrudable weight capsule comprising a mass of weight composition and a sheath for at least partially encasing the mass of weight composition. The mass of weight composition is generally of putty-like consistency and includes particulate metal and a binder. The mass of weight composition is readily permanently deformable. The weight capsule can be placed in a cavity of a member and compressively loaded to deform the weight capsule into intimate contact with the wall of the cavity.
