Method for forming cover layer for golf ball core |
摘要 |
The present invention is directed to a method for forming golf balls, wherein an extruder forms a continuous tubing of cover material and a continuous stream of golf ball cores are fed into the tubing and translated to an encasement station wherein the tubing/cover material is wrapped around each core and the encased core sealed off by a twisting or crimping procedure. The resulting product is placed into a compression mold and a two piece golf ball can be created without the need for the costly process of injection molding. |

1. A method for forming golf balls, the process comprising:
(a) mixing components to form a cover material; (b) extruding the cover material in the form of a continuous plastic tubing having an inner diameter of a size to accommodate golf ball cores; (c) providing a continuous line of golf ball cores into the plastic tubing; (d) encasing the golf ball core by wrapping and cutting the plastic tubing on opposing sides of the core; (e) placing each encased core into a pair of opposing hemispherical cavity cups of a mold tray; (f) heating and compressing the encased cores wherein the cover material freely flows about the cores to form covered golf balls; (g) finishing the covered golf balls by buffing, painting and applying indicia to the covers. |
