Golf putter having adjustable center of gravity

Abstract

A golf putter, which is weighted with a positionable weight by means of which the center of gravity of the putter can be changed to accommodate the requirements of the user. This result is achieved by a weight, which can be slidably positioned along a pair of rods, which run between the faceplate and the back plate of the putter. The plate can be positioned slidably along the rods either against the faceplate or back plate or at any position there between. When the weight has been placed in the desired position, it can be locked in this position by screws, which fit through the weight and abut against the rods.

1 . In a golf putter having a face plate and a back plate; 
 a central piece extending between the bottom edges of said faceplate and said back plate;    at least one rod connected between the faceplate and the back plate, said rod being attached to said faceplate and back plate;    a weight member slidably mounted on said rod, said weight member being positionable along said rod at a chosen position between said face plate and said back plate, and    means for locking said weight member to said rod in said chosen position.    
   
   
       2 . The golf putter of  claim 1  wherein said putter includes two rods spaced from each and connected to the faceplate and back plate.  
   
   
       3 . The golf putter of  claim 2  wherein said rods are fixedly attached to said faceplate and said back plate.  
   
   
       4 . The golf putter of  claim 1  wherein said means for locking said weight member in said chosen position are screws, which threadably engage the weight member and are tightened against said rods.  
   
   
       5 . The golf putter of  claim 1  wherein said central piece is relatively narrow as compared with the widths of said faceplate and back plate.  
   
   
       6 . In golf club having a faceplate and a back plate, said club comprising: 
 a central piece integrally formed with said faceplate and back plate, said central piece running between the bottom edges of said faceplate and back plate and being substantially narrower than both said faceplate and back plate;    a pair of rods running between said faceplate and said back plate, said rods being spaced from each other in substantially parallel relationship;    a weight member slidably supported; on said rods, said weight member having paired apertures formed there through, said rod members running through said weight members in slidable relationship thereto; and    means for maintaining said weight member in any selected position on said rods.    
   
   
       7 . The golf club of  claim 6  wherein said means for maintaining said weight member in any selected position comprises screws which each threadably engage said weight member and abut against a respective one of said rods.  
   
   
       8 . The golf club of  claim 6  wherein said rods are fixedly attached to said faceplate and said back plate.  
   
   
       9 . The golf club of  claim 6  wherein said weight member is in the form of a rectangular block.  
   
   
       10 . The golf club of  claim 6  wherein the bottom surface thereof is substantially T-shaped.  
   
   
       11 . The golf club of  claim 6  wherein said golf club is a putter.
