发明名称 Golf club head structures having split, multi-part heads
摘要 Golf club heads include at least one part having a side wall extending completely around the golf club head, wherein the side wall ends at an edge (a free end) that defines an open side of the part. An interior surface of this side wall has a draft angle of −1° or more as it extends to its edge. In some club heads, the interior surface of at least one club head part will be shaped so that the interior surface does not converge as the side wall of that part extends to its edge. For some club head parts, the planar cross sectional area defined inside the interior surface of the part will either stay the same or get larger as one moves to the part edge. By avoiding or limiting features of negative draft angles, converging interior surfaces, and/or smaller cross sectional areas on interior surfaces of a part, manufacturing and tooling may be simplified.

主权项 1. A golf club head, comprising: a first part forming a forward portion of the golf club head, the first part including a first side wall extending around the golf club head, wherein the first side wall includes an interior surface that ends at a first edge that defines an open side of the first part, and wherein the interior surface of the first side wall has a draft angle of 0° or more, with respect to a first pulling direction as the first interior surface extends in a direction toward the first edge; a second part forming a rearward portion of the golf club head, the second part including a second side wall extending around the golf club head, wherein the second side wall includes an interior surface that ends at a second edge that defines an open side of the second part, and wherein the interior surface of the second side wall has a draft angle of 0° or more, with respect to a second pulling direction as the second interior surface extends in a direction toward the second edge; and wherein the first part and the second part are molded parts wherein the first part comprises a portion of a crown surface, a portion of a sole surface and a portion of a side surface; wherein the second part comprises a portion of the crown surface, a portion of the sole surface and a portion of the side surface; and wherein a parting line between the first part and the second part is located along a curve shaped by an inflection point of an interior surface of the crown surface, the sole surface, and the side surface.
