Iron club head

Abstract

An iron club head includes a body including a loop portion defining a compartment therein, a striking plate mounted to a front face of the loop portion, and a gasket mounted between the striking plate and the loop portion for providing a regular flat outer surface. In another embodiment, an iron club head comprises a body, a striking plate, and a gasket. The body includes a stepped portion and a notched portion together defining a compartment therein, a lip being formed outside the stepped portion. The striking plate is mounted to a front face of the loop portion and retained in place by the lip of the body. The striking plate includes a protruded portion embedded in the notched portion of the body. A gasket is mounted between the protruded portion of the striking plate and the notched portion of the body for providing a regular flat outer surface.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An iron club head comprising: 
 a body including a loop portion defining a compartment therein;    a striking plate mounted to a front face of the loop portion; and    a gasket mounted between the striking plate and the loop portion for providing a regular flat outer surface in a position where the striking plate and the loop portion engage with each other.    
     
     
         2 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the gasket is made of metal of high extensibility.  
     
     
         3 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the gasket is made of one of copper, aluminum, and stainless steel.  
     
     
         4 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the front face of the loop portion includes a first engaging member, and wherein the striking plate includes a second engaging member for complimentarily engaging with the first engaging member.  
     
     
         5 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the front face of the loop portion includes a plurality of pegs formed thereon, and wherein the striking plate includes a plurality of holes for tightly holding the pegs.  
     
     
         6 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the body is made of metal with high density.  
     
     
         7 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the body is made of one of stainless steel and iron.  
     
     
         8 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the striking plate is made of metal with low density.  
     
     
         9 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the striking plate is made of titanic alloy.  
     
     
         10 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the body further includes a neck for engaging with a shaft.  
     
     
         11 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the loop portion of the body further includes an upright wall adjacent to the neck, the upright wall being engaged with an end edge of the striking plate to thereby increase an engaging area and an engaging strength between the striking plate and the body.  
     
     
         12 . An iron club head comprising: 
 a body including a stepped portion and a notched portion together defining a compartment therein, a lip being formed outside the stepped portion;    a striking plate mounted to a front face of the loop portion and retained in place by the lip of the body, the striking plate including a protruded portion that is embedded in the notched portion of the body; and    a gasket mounted between the protruded portion of the striking plate and the notched portion of the body for providing a regular flat outer surface in a position where the protruded portion of striking plate and the notched portion of the body engage with each other.    
     
     
         13 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the gasket is made of metal of high extensibility.  
     
     
         14 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the gasket is made of one of copper, aluminum, and stainless steel.  
     
     
         15 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the body is made of metal with high density.  
     
     
         16 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the body is made of one of stainless steel and iron.  
     
     
         17 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the striking plate is made of metal with low density.  
     
     
         18 . The iron club head as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the striking plate is made of titanic alloy.
