  • Patent number: 10159880
    Abstract: An adjustable golf club head and weight structure is disclosed. The adjustable golf club head can include a crown, a toe, a hosel, and a sole. The sole of the club head may have one or more tracks located thereon. Each of the one or more tracks can have one or more weights secured therein. Each of the one or more weights can include an upper weight portion, and a lower weight portion. A screw can be positioned to adjoin the upper weight portion and the lower weight portion. The weight can also include a clip fastened to the screw such that the clip retains the screw within bores located in the upper and lower weight portions. In order to prevent the upper and lower weight portions from rotating with respect to one another, the weight can include an alignment portion and an alignment receptacle.

  • Patent number: 6653437
    Abstract: A process for producing oxidative cross-linked polyarylene sulfide using a reaction apparatus including a reaction vessel provided with a resin inlet, a gas inlet, a resin outlet, and a gas outlet, and a transverse type heating member having a helical structure which is rotatable around a central shaft disposed in the reaction vessel. The process includes the step of supplying heated oxygen containing gas to the polyarylene sulfide from the downward direction of the transverse type heating member while the polyarylene sulfide is heated and agitated by the rotation of the transverse type heating member to carry out an oxidative cross-linking reaction of the polyarylene sulfide. According to the process, it becomes possible to increase the productivity and the gas components present in polyarylene sulfide can be effectively removed when the melt viscosity of polyarylene sulfide is increased to a desired degree after polymerizing the polyarylene sulfide.
