Connecting structure for striking plate and body of golf club head

Abstract

A connecting structure is provided for a striking plate and a body of a golf club head. The body includes an opening in a front side thereof. The opening is delimited by a perimeter end wall, and a first snapping projection is formed on the perimeter end wall. The striking plate includes a perimeter wall projecting from a face thereof. A second snapping projection extends along a distal end of the perimeter wall of the striking plate. The first snapping projection and the second snapping projecting engage with each other for positioning the body and the striking plate.

1 . A connecting structure for a striking plate and a body of a golf club head, comprising: 
 a body including an opening in a front side thereof, the opening being delimited by a perimeter end wall, a first snapping projection being formed on the perimeter end wall; and    a striking plate including a perimeter wall projecting from a face thereof, a second snapping projection extending along a distal end of the perimeter wall of the striking plate, the first snapping projection and the second snapping projecting engaging with each other for positioning the body and the striking plate.    
   
   
       2 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the connecting structure further comprises a bonding layer formed between the first snapping projection of the body and the second snapping projection of the striking plate.  
   
   
       3 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the bonding layer is formed by one of brazing and adhesion.  
   
   
       4 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the first snapping projection of the body comprises a slant perimeter face, and wherein the second snapping projection of the striking plate includes a slant perimeter face for engaging with the slant perimeter face of the first snapping projection.  
   
   
       5 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the first snapping projection includes a perimeter groove, and wherein the second snapping projection projects inward from the distal end of the perimeter wall of the striking plate and is engaged in the perimeter groove of the first snapping projection.  
   
   
       6 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the first snapping projection extends along a portion of the perimeter end wall delimiting the opening of the body on which further defines a shoulder.  
   
   
       7 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 6  wherein the first snapping projection extends along an outer portion of the perimeter end wall delimiting the opening of the body, with the shoulder of the body located inside the first snapping projection.  
   
   
       8 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 7  wherein the first snapping projection comprises a slant perimeter face inclining toward the shoulder.  
   
   
       9 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 6  wherein the first snapping projection extends along an inner portion of the perimeter end wall delimiting the opening of the body, with the shoulder of the body located outside the first snapping projection.  
   
   
       10 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the first snapping projection comprises a slant perimeter face inclining toward the shoulder.  
   
   
       11 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the second snapping projection extends along a portion of an end face of the perimeter wall of the striking plate, leaving a shoulder.  
   
   
       12 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the second snapping projection extends along an outer portion of the end face of the perimeter wall of the striking plate, with the shoulder of the striking plate located inside the second snapping projection.  
   
   
       13 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 9  wherein the second snapping projection extends along an outer portion of the end face of the perimeter wall of the striking plate, with the shoulder of the striking plate located inside the second snapping projection.  
   
   
       14 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the second snapping projection extends along an inner portion of the end face of the perimeter wall of the striking plate, with the shoulder of the striking plate located outside the second snapping projection.  
   
   
       15 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 7  wherein the second snapping projection extends along an inner portion of the end face of the perimeter wall of the striking plate, with the shoulder of the striking plate located outside the second snapping projection.  
   
   
       16 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 12  wherein the second snapping projection comprises a slant perimeter face inclining toward the shoulder of the striking plate.  
   
   
       17 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 13  wherein the second snapping projection comprises a slant perimeter face inclining toward the shoulder of the striking plate.  
   
   
       18 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 14  wherein the second snapping projection comprises a slant perimeter face inclining toward the shoulder of the striking plate.  
   
   
       19 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 15  wherein the second snapping projection comprises a slant perimeter face inclining toward the shoulder of the striking plate.  
   
   
       20 . The connecting structure as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the body further comprises a hosel mounted to a side of the body and a wall portion located on the front side of the body and adjacent to the hosel and the perimeter end wall delimiting the opening, and wherein the striking plate comprises an opening facing the wall portion of the body.
