Apparatus for providing motion sensors on a golf club

摘要

A fixed clamping member has a first interior surface and is constructed of a first material. A sensor unit formed on an exterior surface of the fixed clamping member detects a motion of the motion analysis device. A pivoting clamping member secured to a first end of the fixed clamping member has a second interior surface that opposes the first interior surface when the pivoting clamping member is in a secured position. A gripping element constructed of a second material different than the first material is formed over the first interior surface and the second interior surface. A tightening member having a threaded portion is secured to a second end of the fixed clamping member. A knob has a threaded interior portion with a diameter corresponding to the cylindrical threaded portion. An opening on the pivoting clamping member has a shape and a size corresponding to the tightening member.

主权项

1. A motion analysis device comprising:
a fixed clamping member of a first length having a first interior surface and an exterior surface, the fixed clamping member including a first material; a sensor formed on the exterior surface of the fixed clamping member, the sensor configured to detect a motion of the motion analysis device; a pivoting clamping member pivotally secured to a first end of the fixed clamping member, the pivoting clamping member being a second length that is different from the first length and having a second interior surface that opposes the first interior surface of the fixed clamping member when the pivoting clamping member is in a secured position; a gripping element formed over one or more of the first interior surface and the second interior surface, the gripping element including a second material that is different than the first material; a tightening member pivotally secured to a second end of the fixed clamping member and having a cylindrical threaded portion; and a knob formed on the tightening member, the knob having a threaded interior portion, the threaded interior portion having a diameter corresponding to that of the cylindrical threaded portion, wherein the pivoting clamping member includes an opening having a shape and a size such that the tightening member is engagable therein, the pivoting clamping member further includes a hole, the gripping element includes a stability member that protrudes through the hole to the exterior surface of the pivoting clamping member, and the hole has a shape and size corresponding to the stability member, and when the pivoting clamping member is in the secured position, the fixed clamping member and the pivoting clamping member are both in contact with the sensor and the tightening member.
